If you're the Spurs you are set for the future at the 1 and 2. This is a tremendous experience for them.

Im fine with this officiating when the Spurs are at home, with the expectation that the Knicks will get the same.
But NOT the Spurs getting home calls on the road. I mean the Brunson Flagarant? What? And the **** Wemby is doing?

NBA wants this to go to 7 so bad. Certainly dont want to lose 3 games in a sweep. I hate how rigged this sport can be sometimes.
When you have $100,000 courtside seats, you dont let that go away easily in a sweep.

Agree 100%. This game feels absolutely fixed for the Spurs to win. Too much money to be made by this going 6 or 7 games instead of 4 or 5.
If anybody can watch this and not think it's scripted...they don't even hide it...
Like last game you got this guy who is MVP caliber ...called the alien...just throw the ball into his teammates back. Like ok.
Guess they were supposed to lose that game and were accidentally winning .
I fully expect the Spurs to win 3 games then NY will win game 6 forcing 7 games. Just like the script reads. College isn't far behind.

The Wemby bad pass was more of just inexperience to me. Weve seen that happen to lots of young players. So its not so much the players that I think are screwing this.. its just the front office. They want more games, and thats why Knicks got like 5 or 6 brutally bad calls and were at one point -18 on free throws in the 2nd half.. and at home no less.
Been saying this since the Jordan game, Stephon Castle is going to be a multi-time NBA All-Star. That dude is getting better each year from the 3pt line which is basically his biggest flaw. He's strong, he's quick, he's long, he's athletic, he's an intelligent player, and he's only 21. Impressive. Both he and Harper.
I don't think it's scripted, but I do think there may be some ref manipulation going on to stretch the series.
Well I guess those sports talk people can stop babbling about that now.
The NBA didn’t want a sweep that was for sure. They dominated the second and that third was suspect as hell to me.
Once SA gets older they are going to be a dynasty IMO. Castle is fantastic top 5 guard especially defensively, Harper will probably overtake Fox in next couple of years, champagne or however you spell his name is fantastically defensively and shooting and of course Wemby. Those 4 will be just as good as any starting 4 for foreseeable future. I still think Knicks win due to experience this year but SA looks really setup for future and honestly the big reason is how good they will be defensively. Defense travels and doesn’t go cold.
I wonder if Keldon gets more time. He’s a smart guy to be such a team player, even if he’s faking it.
Must win game for both teams, IMO. Whoever wins this one, wins the series.
Spurs with the first challenge of the game and they should win. That was a clean block on KAT by Wemby
I think that too. I think it would take NY’s heart if they lose this game.
Knicks look like Pope coaching them getting down so big so early.
They always seem to rally though.

Wembanyama is getting away with a lot. Just tonight alone. 2 goaltends, one on each end. Just now he threw the Knicks player to the ground and when it didn't get called Alvarado reacted in frustration and probably got a flagrant foul if this gets upgraded. And that's just the things Ive seen.
Sadly, it's in the Knick's heads now. The Spurs have more talent and it's coming more alive every game. They're missing a LOT of shots. When the Spurs are almost doubling you up, these 4-5 calls that go in favor of the Spurs don't matter as much. Game 3 should have been a knicks win.. but game 4 won't matter if the Knicks are this sloppy.
All 5 Spurs starters have made at least 1 three pointer. Fox and Vassell have 3 each. Knicks have made 3 of 8. +24 right now for the Spurs. Far outdoing the Knicks advantage from the free throw line
Kat picking up 2 fouls faster than anyone since 1998 is something though lol..
But being the home team, you probably let one go.
Thats the thing we learned from game 1 and 2 for Spurs at home. Ok, we're going to let the Spurs get away with some sh*t. Makes sense, home team gets the calls. So to see KAT get 2 quick fouls, and then two missed goal tends, and some other nonsense.. idk. Feels the NBA is really starting to protect their next "lebron".
All the nonsense about was this Knicks team the best championship team ever now has morphed into can they even hold on to win a title?
