NBA playoffs

How the hell did the Spurs manage to lose that game?

They deserve to lose the finals after this one.

 

[odanny]

They called it the greatest comeback, and I would call it the greatest collapse. Spurs are young, the coach is young, and he should have called his timeouts a little earlier, at least one

 

[MarathonMike]

Spurs are super young and they were raining down 3s from everywhere in the first half. But just like against Cleveland, the Knicks walked them down.

 

[odanny]

A tale of two halves. Couldn't have played better in the first, worse in the second.

 

[Rocko]

That was the best game I’ve ever seen.

That was the best game I’ve ever seen.

The turnovers at the end were brutal! I still can't understand why that basket was even taken after the Knicks TO! They had a lead! It was blocked & gave the Knicks the opportunity to win! I have no dog in this hunt, but if a team does what they did, totally disintegrating in the 2nd half, the Spurs don't deserve to win! Maybe NY deserves it after that a-#ole turned MSG & the surrounding area upside down Monday!

Ruh Roh Knicks only down 5 with 4 minutes to go.

That was a crazy comeback.

It may have been an assault, but Brunson's not innocent leaning into Wemby like that! Fk 'em!

Wemby's over reactions are definitely to send a message that he will not be bullied around by the older guys. Now not only is he tall and really talented, he's a little dirty too. Scary. Just wait till he gains 10 pounds.

If the Knicks choke away a 2-0 lead at home….

So I went to bed knowing they were down 20. I taped the game and woke up, ff to the 4th quarter and oh my God! That was fun. Man I love this game.

I've been taunting Knicks fans before game 3. I asked them "what if they lose game 3?" and when it happened, it was so funny that all the cocky Knicks fans disappeared. They are still in hiding. I don't blame them. They got cocky after 2 games and they saw it slipping away from them all up until 2 seconds left in game 4 when OG got the Brunson 3 point miss rebound and put it in. OMG. OMG!!! Man I love this game.

So Knicks fans are still not talking shit. Because they don't want to jinx it.

Notice they were having so much fun with Danhoussen jinxing Cleveland and the Spurs but the second they thought someone (Trump) jinxed them they lost their minds?

The Danhausen curse refers to a viral, supernatural-themed basketball crossover where WWE comedy wrestler Danhausen "cursed" various NBA teams on ESPN, to which fans hilariously attributed the New York Knicks' incredible playoff success and unexpected run to the 2026 NBA Finals

After Danhausen cursed Smith, the Knicks unexpectedly found themselves falling behind in their first-round playoff series. Panicked Knicks fans on Cameo supposedly paid Danhausen "human monies" to reverse the spell and curse the Knicks' opponents instead

Once Danhausen "un-cursed" the Knicks, the team went on a massive, dominant winning streak, sweeping multiple playoff opponents.

It's New York, they'd boo Mother Theresa. Any Republican walking there better be well armed or their bodyguards well armed.

It is barely safe for anyone really but in particular a Republican. It isn't the 80s or 90s anymore. The West would better off if politics didn't remain so divisive but it will remain

Trump would be feuding with Mother Theresa just like he is the Pope.

The Spurs are a young team. This is exactly how it's supposed to go down. Clearly this team will kick the crap out of NY next year. They just aren't ready.

Do you know the Knicks were so excited going into the playoffs this year? The Pistons were the best team in the east? Totally beatable. And that's my team. But when you only have 1 star, you ain't gonna beat NY, OKC, Spurs or even Cleveland. Even if you hamstring Cleveland with a loser like Harden, Detroit wasn't good enough to get past them? That's because Detroit isn't ready yet either.

Anyways, with the Celtics sucking this year, Gianni sucking this year, Lebron sucking this year, Denver sucking this year, it'll never be this easy again to make it to the finals for NY.

10 seconds to go, Brunson misses a shot when the Spurs had a one point lead, and Fox gets the outlet pass, can run out the clock, instead he runs down to try and score a layup, and it got blocked. He was afraid of being sent to the line to shoot clutch FT's. It ended up costing them the game.

 

[sealybobo]

That was a crazy comeback.

OMG I just remembered this from last year.

When Haliburton flashed the infamous choke sign toward the New York Knicks and a volatile Madison Square Garden crowd during Game 1 of last season’s Eastern Conference finals

Who is the MVP of the Finals?

If the Knicks win: Brunson might be the front runner, but now OG Anunoby has to be considered, he was the high scorer in the comeback, made both the critical defensive block and the winning basket to lead the largest comeback in Finals history.

It’s Brunson and it’s not close. OG is a role player.

 

[Treeshepherd]

I turned it off at halftime. De'Aaron Fox played well and still found a way to lose the game

and for a minute they said it could be CAT. I guess it depends on what happens in the next 2 games.

I say 2 because no way the Knicks win in San Antonio for game 5. In fact, Knicks better win at home in game 6. I have already invited Trump to that game should it go to 6 games. LOL.

 

[MarathonMike]

The MVP should be Anonoby, not Brunson IMO. He is a much better defender and is just as important to the Knicks offense as Brunson.

That was a choke. It seems the est team was Oklahoma City, and it could not recover from injuries.

 

[Rocko]

OG has solidified himself in Knick lore after that tip.
