Spurs vs Knicks Finals Thread

I almost turned off the TV. Glad I stayed with it.

Fox made a bonehead play, he has an albatross contract and the Spurs don't need him now that they have Harper. However, with a better contract he could play on my team all day, every day. Above average defender, moves the ball, runs an offense, hits clutch shots (except for last night). Too bad the contract makes him almost untradeable.

He's even better than Bradley Beal! (for NYC)
 

I hate NY fans, but the Knicks players are easy to root for. If Knicks win, it's good for the NBA.
 



barkley summed it up well
San Antonio is the "dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization". So many errors in the second half mentally. For all the ripping on this board of Finch and his lack of timeouts and on the Wolves for not finishing games, this will go down as an all-timer because of what was at stake. Egregious lack of situational awareness coupled with horrific shooting in the 2nd half and some, we'll say interesting, player usage.

I'm not expecting the Spurs to fold, but they could. Despite the age they've been pretty resolute after dropping games (like when they rolled us 2 separate times after losing a game, the comeback against OKC down 3-2).

Scoring 30 points in a half after scoring 76 in the first though. woof.

They did what immature teams do. They got cocky and maybe a little bored. As amazing as Wemby, Castle and Harper are, they might be too young to handle success.

The Spurs are more talented than the Knicks by a fair amount. If they learned a lesson last night, I wouldnt be surprised to see game 7 in SA.

i think, many thought - including me, thst next year their championship window would open, so if they lose this year, they learn and don’t make the same mistakes moving forward.

SA’s core is significantly younger than NYC; do thru had done learning to do and this was Knicks best and maybe only chance to get a chip, as they’re gonna get old fast.

You’re right G7 wouldn’t be a surprise as 2 out of 3 they’ve lost have been by 1 point.

Im cheering for the Knicks, but if the spurs won........it really wouldn't matter to me.

When Wemby started saying 'I'm in your head, I was full bore Knicks!"

I just wish I'd have seen it.
