So crazy knicks are down 3-1 when it should be the opposite. Spurs gave two of these games away. Assuming it's not scripted..

Wemby doing a little 2 much talking and forgetting this is America. We can play dirty also. Way to emotional after the conference finals and talking way 2 much being down in the finals

I liked humble Wemby. I think the media handed him the keys 2 early and it's gotten to his head as much as he was saying he's in the knicks head. Glad to see Robinson give him a elbow to the face. This is America son.

Lol, this series should be over already if the refs stopped trying to force a long series.

How in the world was that a foul on KAT fo start the game? I mean that totally set the tone because he picked up the fastest 2 fouls since 1998 and had to go to the bench for most kf the 1st half, paving the way for Wemby to have a great 1st half.

I'm not biased. Just up thirty at half then give the game away? Last possession of the game and throw it off your teammates back? To be NBA players they sure do some Suspicious things. How is fox that bad? He dribbles the ball off his foot every other possession. He is a fringe all star player I thought

I say this not giving two craps who wins. Just feel like San Antonio has gave it away. They seem to be the better team by far but having to play down for the script.

Well I think part of it is their inexperience. And for as bad as the Knicks were shooting, they dont make a lot of mistakes.

You can see the Spurs getting better and that they arent even close to their ceiling yet. But right now, its a lot of 20 and 21 year olds who have never been in a finals, or even a playoffs.

Anyone remember Patrick Ewing missing that finger-roll at the end of the game against the Pacers in 95? That went through my mind when Josh Hart blew that layup. Glad he doesn't have to live with it. I love that dude. One of the best rebounding guards I've ever seen.

What a game!
Hart plays so tough, dude does whatever his team needs to win. He is the glue to a great team.

I still worry what rhe NBA is about to do. Spurs will 100% be given game 5. Knicks have to win game 6 at home.
They would be dumb to take this away from the Knicks. The NYC market will go insane. If they screw them in a game 6 at home I don’t even want to see the riots.

They still want the revenue though. Plus they might figure to have the Knicks win the whole thing at home for game 6.

I was gonna say, id throw the mortgage at the Spurs in game 5. If we thought these last few games were bad, game 5 is going to be absurd.

If I didnt have a young kid, id honestly try and get down to NYC for game 6 if it happens. Just to be at one of the watch parties or a bar somewhere.

I was down in the Bronx when the Giants beat the Pats in the superbowl on the David Tyree helmet catch. When that clock hit 0.0 the streets flooded with celebration.

I really don't hate the Spurs, although they might be one of the luckiest teams, of any sport, when it comes to the draft.

KAT getting TWO bogus fouls, in just over 1 minute, where one actually took away a foul on Wemby, forcing the Knicks to bench KAT, trumps anything the spurs might have gotten their way. And #2 was what should have been a flagrant on wemby for palming a players head.

Be happy you even have a game 5

Low key hilarious that some Knicks fan walked around MSG with eggs in his pocket just to chuck them at Wemby after 3 hours.

What's the ******* defense on this play. It's absolutely terrible. So much wrong here. Just stay home Wemby. . Castle is sufficient enough to defend Brunson. He's nowhere near Brunson. If he makes that shot from out there you just go to the other end(technically you call TO, design a play, and take the ball out at HC)


Mitch Johnson is the reason the Spurs lost. He was just along for the ride in the 2nd half it seemed.

That stink was from Mamdani.
This is all in fun but Mamdani was elected and the Knicks are one win from a world title months later and the president shows up to one game in the Finals and it's the game the Knicks lost.

Trump shows up = Knicks lost
Taylor shows up = Knicks win

None of that matters but it's fun to think about.

Yup that was the reason. Taylor is a fan of the it team. I bet she doesn’t even know a single thing about basketball or who even plays for them outside of it being a celebrity status or mutual acquaintance.

I still think the Celeb row is awesome, regardless of who is there. Obviously theres the real Knicks celebs and then all the band wagon ones. But it was hilarious to see Alvarado land on none other than ex-mayor Michael Bloomberg, with Derek Jeter sitting next to him.

John Cal sitting next to Adam Sandler.

Stiller going to hug the worlds crumudgeon Larry David.

Its awesome to see IMO. Even if its celebs or politicians I dont like.

The lesson in all this is that Mitch Johnson is a horrendous coach. He was terrible on so many levels, would rather not start the list. A young team like this needs a coach they can trust.

You can't move on him because he's young and new, but you'd hate this buffoon to be the reason the Spurs lose a championship because at this point, I'd say he's the primary issue.

Wemby played 44 minutes.

That poster also thinks nearly every big UK loss ever has been because of crooked dealings. He just had one of those weirdly paranoid minds.

But I must say the notion that the League has it in for the Knicks …it’s largest market and national media center franchise that it’s looong been desperate to see return to prominence …might be the funniest paranoid theory he’s floated yet.
