Is this why the Spurs lost?

Spurs guard Dylan Harper ruled out for remainder of Game 2

Spurs guard Dylan Harper left the second half of Game 2 against the Thunder with a right leg injury, and the team announced that he will not return.

definitely the Spurs missing their 1st and 2nd string point guards led to too many turnovers. But also Wemby fell in love with the 3 point shot as a carryover from his dramatic clutch deep 3 in game 1. In game 2 he was successful when he attacked the basket (often by rebounding his own missed shot) but I wonder if he just didn't have the energy for more of that after his massive overtime performance in game 1.

who u got in tonight's game? Knick's are favored by 5.5 points. I think Cleveland has a really good team, maybe they steal one tonight but that's probably just me being a fan for a long series

 

[Treeshepherd]

Harden usually plays well until it's game 7 in the playoffs. So far he's off to a good start tonight. Cleveland has a well-rounded team that matches up with NY pretty well

 

[Treeshepherd]

Going into halftime Bruson has only 2 point, yet the Knicks are ahead 53-49... not a good sign for the Cavs. But anything can happen. I believe in this Cavs team

 

[Couchpotato]

Strongly disagree. The Spurs and the Thunder are going to wear each other out and the Knicks are taking the trophy. Book it.

Is this anything like your Bills predictions?

This aint a Journey song, it's time to stop believing.

Wemby does things I have literally never seen any big man do. He's built like Abdul Jabbar but is a way better athlete. He has arms like Plastic Man.

I just want him to put on about 10 pounds of muscle/weight/fat. Not too much but a little bit.

Gianni weighed 190 his rookie year.


Victor weighs 236.

Of course it is. We don't know what's going to happen. Do you think he has bet his life savings on this prediction? So yes, this is exactly like his Bills prediction.

I can only go by what it seems like or what it looks like. Looks like the Knicks are the best team in the East this year but it looks like the Spurs and OKC are much, much better teams.

I haven't looked into it. It just SEEMS like the Knicks won't be a match for either team but

It really is a miracle Cleveland won a championship in 2016. It literally took a miracle. Draymond Green had to get suspended for 2 games for example when Cleveland was down 3 to 1. But don't be thinking miracles happen all the time.

Unfortunately Harden will let you down. Might not be this round. Might be in the finals. But he will let you down. But not before totally dominating a game or two to get your hopes up. That's part of his MO is to build up your hope before he tears it all down.

How do you go from scoring 40 and being on fire to not being able to score at all? It's weird.

Wow, I love AI. So this isn't just my observation of him

James Harden has a well-documented reputation for postseason struggles, with his playoff legacy often defined by high-profile shooting slumps, late-game turnovers, and pivotal elimination-game failures across his stints with the Rockets, Nets, 76ers, Clippers, and Cavaliers

While his regular-season brilliance—highlighted by an MVP award and three scoring titles—has made him one of the most prolific offensive players in NBA history, his playoff resume frequently features dramatic dips in efficiency and costly errors in high-leverage moments.
While he has occasionally delivered legendary 40-point playoff performances, these highs have frequently been overshadowed by games where he seemed to shrink in the spotlight, cementing his reputation as a player who struggles to maintain his regular-season dominance under the extreme pressure of the playoffs

Is this true?

The Cleveland Cavaliers tunnel footage just got leaked showing a heated argument between James Harden and Donovan Mitchell after the collapse

Mitchell reportedly told Harden:
“You ass, cone.”
The Cavs set one of the biggest playoff chokes ever after blowing a 22-point lead with under 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter

I could so see this happening. But what is "you ass cone"? Your ass is done maybe? You ass clown? Nah can't be that.

It's very obviously AI generated.

Spurs came out on fire and then flamed out in game 3. OKC's bench is killing them, they stayed 8 or 10 points ahead the whole game really weren't challenged. Alex Caruso is playing out of his mind, Spurs better find their energy for game 4.

 

[odanny]

OKC has been there, done that, it appears to be propeling them toward another title. Spurs will get there, maybe not this year, but it's early in the series.

 

[MarathonMike]

Not ready to hand it to OKC yet. If the Spurs can bring the energy for 4 quarters it turns into a 3 game series.

 

[Treeshepherd]

I love how there's a game every night, seems like in the recent past they took longer breaks.

Knicks are fighting for rest time before the finals



by the way, 'Knickerbocker' is a slur against Dutch immigrants who wore funny clothes

 

[MarathonMike]

Whatever the Knicks found in the playoffs, the Cavs lost it.

The whole New Amsterdam thing never really took off
