We love him. 👌🏽👌🏽

Exactly, even Bron had to lose to the 07 Spurs for character development. Copying Duncan’s story exactly would be lazy writing.

Plus on a side note, while it’s pretty clear that Wemby works really hard and cares more than most, how could you not root for Brunson?

His entire life everyone has been saying he’s too small, too chubby, his head is too big, he’s not athletic enough, he can’t jump high enough. He won in high school but wasn’t a top prospect in college. He won 2 titles in college, was eventually voted NCAA player of the decade, and got drafted behind 3 of his teammates. At the NBA level despite proving it on the playoffs without Luka, the Mavs scoffed at signing him to ⁵⁄₅₅ and everyone laughed when he signed for ⁴⁄₁₀₀.

Now he’s leading one of the most impoverished teams in sports in the biggest market to the finals. You can hate Knicks fans all you want, very few fanbases care more about a title than them. I’m living in Texas and there was over a 100 of us meeting up to watch the game, and that’s just one city.

It would be a nice story for someone that people have counted out his whole life to bring a title to a long suffering but dedicated fanbase. Especially doing it 27 years after his dad tried and failed against the same team.

Deadass, start Wemby off on his training arc by losing to the Knicks this year and building up to take them on further down the line 😂

Everyone wants Wmeby to win and to showcase just how good he is.

Everyone kept talking down the Knicks and discrediting them every chance they got.

Who wouldn’t want to see a team prove all the haters wrong… Except for the haters of course.

The world wasn’t ready for Donte to fight Rick yet again

If Hart hits threes with any consistency it’ll actually be Knicks in 4.

Literally the most dominant closeout games in the history of the postseason.

Can’t wait for this series to begin lol.

i just want to know what this will taste like for you when real life actually happens lol fucking haterade guzzling ass

On paper Knicks are definitely deeper.

Spurs have Wemby, then its 3 or so Knicks players, and then its debatable.

Maybe better but i don’t see how you can say they are deeper?

The Knicks have a great bench this year with Deuce, Shamet, Mitch, Clarkson and even have the 10th to 15th man advantage because guys like Hukporti, Kolek, Diawara all can be usable bench players already

On paper? You think Fox is better than Brunson? Vassell/Champagnie is better than Mikal/OG? Wemby and Castle are the players that are better than the Knicks counterpart, KAT and Hart respectively. But even then, KAT has been playing absolutely lights out on both ends, so it’s not like he’ll get bitched out like Chet did. And Hart/Castle are pretty damn similar, both decent finishers at the rim, insane hustle, and defense. Castle has the edge on defense imo, but Hart is way better at rebounding. Harper is the best bench player (in the playoffs), but what can Carter Bryant and KJ do that Shamet and McBride can’t do? Kornet has an offensive edge over Mitchell, but Mitchell is a superior rebounder and defender. We don’t have a back up forward so Harrison Barnes has that edge I guess lol

I say we’re pretty damn even, but we have the edge over the Spurs in size and experience. Either way, it’s going to be a banger of a finals

On paper the Knicks are far deeper

Hilarious

The Spurs are worse or should be worse both on paper and depth wise. This team was considered 2 yrs too early at the start of the season and now they’ve jumped over the Knicks after 2 good series?? Knicks better not use that excuse if they lose this series.

Brunson is an all-nba PG, Kat is an all-nba center and the best shooting center, OG is a borderline all-star and an all-defense wing, Mikal is one of the best wings in the league.

On paper Knicks is the better team. Spurs just have the best player

It only looks like no adversity because of how easy Knicks made it look. The story if they weren’t blowouts would be that the Knicks struggled to get to the finals limping against capable (but not as talented) teams in the EC.

Weak or not, no teams period have done what the Knicks have done over the last 11 game stretch, both regular season and postseason.

Hows his 3pt shooting been this run? If he can hit them that’s a game changer.

And defensively. You putting mitch on him? Okc had success with big body i hart on him. After game 1 wemby was quieter.

The real killers were castle vessel champagne.

How was Brunson hunted so far? Has he been able to hold his own?

Home court plus Wembanyama counts for a lot.
