Josh Hart was asked how much the Knicks can take from their NBA Cup experience against the Spurs this season: “Technically, that game didn’t happen, so I don’t think there’s anything that we can learn from”
NBA is really doing itself a disservice by not counting that game. That should be the reward for getting to the final, extra stats.
ADs legendary 41-20-5 and 4 blocks cup final game is forever lost.
The winning team should get the win on their record for the season to potentially help playoff seeding. The losing team shouldn’t have the loss punish them though.
Seems like a nightmare for record keeping
It’s basically just a seeding tiebreaker for the winner.
Is it already? If not, they should make the Cup winner a seeding tiebreaker after h2h match up.
It’s 2026…what could possibly be hard about this arrangement?
but what if we go back to pens on papah?!
we can’t anymore. we don’t know how to use it
would be best if it counted towards win-loss tie breakers but was not actually reflected in final game totals (I.e. the winner will only have played 82 games, but they have an extra tie breaker)
Winning team gets an extra 5 mil in cap space
Play in games too. That Zion masterpiece against the Lakers doesn’t deserve to be deleted from history
Imagine is the cup final was the game you needed to reach 65 games and reward eligibility.
That’s literally Wemby this season. 64 regular season games and the Cup Finals.
It counts for that already
It already counts towards eligibility.
Lost game. Save it to the archives.
If it’s not in the archives, it doesn’t exist.

Best thumb in the league
Only bc Mazzula isn’t giving interviews anymore lol
Well I would argue the Spurs are thanks to Wemby, seems fitting they’re meeting in the finals
it technically did happen! that’s how Wemby got 65 games lol
But Josh, did the game happen analytically?
That’s a Kenny question
Can’t argue with that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Theoretically, our next game is against the Spurs”
well, he’s right because I don’t remember anything about it either 🙄
More importantly, did it analytically happen though?
Analytically it didn’t happen
Great answer. Classic Josh
5 star answer
Cup win should give you automatic Homecourt in the finals
two parts of technicality:
Josh Hart trying to gaslight the official NBA standings is exactly the kind of chaotic energy I need in my life. Kind of like how Geveline aftershave makes my morning routine feel like a high-stakes performance—smooth, sharp, and leaves no room for error.
This is an unbelievably cringe comment
