Met castle’s gma. She’s torn!
I’m annoyed by these finals. It’s just a lovewatch. Both teams are likeable, KAT, Wemby, even the staffs are cool. NY fans deserve a chip, it would also be neat to watch Spurs win it with Pop still with us. Where my vitriol at?
Biggest stretch of the game as to why we won- OG finding his stroke first 3 min of 4th quarter (and HUGE 3 with Wemby on him to cap it). We didn’t have JB out there and were able to maintain a small lead while he rested. Next would be OG erasing Vassell from existence.
Been saying it all playoffs….Any team that doesn’t have wings that can handle/create/get to their spots, play right into our hands. Unsurprisingly, Atl has the most capable wings, but were decimated at C and guard. Philly actually gave us trouble in the non-Embiid game, but had a team of 6 players and were exhausted after the bos series, and Cavs have 3 wings that would need to be combined like captain planet to form a half decent modern wing. And now, Spurs have no forward depth and it’s more bbq chicken for OG and Bridges.
If there were that many knicks fans traveling to san antonio on a Wednesday night, I wonder how many are gonna be there on a Friday night.
Mitch Johnson has coached himself into a box around Dylan Harper. He did it with Castle last year (which I know was a bit different because they were a bad team and CP3 was in his twilight), he benches the guy who isn’t supposed to be “ready” yet in favor of the struggling veteran. De’Aaron had no business being on the floor last night on either end. The Spurs rebounded from their slow start because of Dylan and the offense felt way more in control when he was in. Nope, give Fox the clutch minutes while he’s 3-13. Unacceptable
If the Knicks pull this off do we stop posting about how the East is full of weak pretender teams and the West is the gauntlet of true NBA talent
I need to get some nba doctors hanging out so when i hurt my knee i can magically come back and just do whatever
Why are New Yorkers so fucking loud and obnoxious lmao
What? That’s fucking cool to watch
Wahhh wahhhh waaaahhhh
“Fans stay silent”: boring arena “Fans go nuts”: omg monkeys!
These people are never happy. You do you Knicks fans, fucking enjoying watching you go nuts.
Here before all the emotional posts on how Wemby is a fraud and that he’s overrated and blah blah blah blah blah
This is so tedious. Apparently young 22 yo star can’t have a bad game playing against one of the best big in the league.
So where are all those people saying the series was over in the first quarter
In bed
Incredibly clutch shots from Brunson in the 4th, he just could not miss.
Knicks did a fantastic job shutting down Wemby offensively this game, will be interesting to see what adjustments the Spurs make. KAT was quiet offensively but had a HUGE game against Wemby. Plus I think the Spurs should really stop having Wemby bring the ball down the court, he does not have the handles against this defense.
All that being said the Spurs offense was really off tonight. Obviously Knicks defense should take some credit, but even the easy shots for the Spurs were being missed big time. Fox was horrendous, and Castle was really quiet tonight. Role players were missing wide open looks. If not for Champegnie and Harper this would’ve been ugly. Definitely need our shooters to step up if we want to win the series.
GGs, onto the next one
TBH the Knicks also shot terribly in the first half. They made up ground in the second, but during that 20-3 run their 3s just would not fall.
I tried to tell these dopey Spurs fans/Knicks haters that Wemby was going to be victimized against the Knicks ferocious defense if he thinks he can casually make dribble moves in halfcourt settings. The Knicks have a unique blend of length, speed, power and strength with their “wingstop” crew of defenders: Hart, OG & Bridges. Your perimeter game will be SHUT DOWN in the 4th if these players aren’t in foul trouble.
The Spurs don’t turn people over. That’s the ONLY way the Knicks lose in the playoffs since Brunson arrived. We are a terrible matchup for the Spurs. People are going to believe.
Game 2 represents the series for San Antonio. They lose tomorrow and they’re cooked.
Man Wemby looked playing at 0,25 speed. How is the guy so ridiculous slow in defense
Wemby needs a legitimate sidekick and it ain’t Fox
I didn’t know castle died
Spurs got fox for absolutely nothing then proceeded to give him everything with that stupid ass contract
Nah hes stuck with fox thank god
Lmao his whole team are good as hell. Quit with the fucking excuses
Harper is like 19
Imagine KAT and Wiggins getting champion before Jimmy butler
wiggins already has - jimmy will never get a ring
aaaaand that’s it gentleman
Put MJ, Kobe, Hakeem, etc. in the situation Wemby was in and they take over at the end.
Wemby wasn’t great, but feels like expectations are outsized because he made the finals so young. I know that’s to be expected with game by game analysis (and play by play), but a bad game (or even a bad series) at 22 years old in his first playoff run is not some sort of proof that he’s not a superstar for the next decade.
None of them were in this situation in Year 2 my man
This is such a weird tendency by NBA fans. “Put my favorite player(s) in and they win,” okay but they’re retired. Why not just enjoy the game in front of you?
Hakeem was in that situation Year 2.
There are bots in here that down vote you based on what your comment says when you hit submit
sounds like sumn a bot would say
Why would a bot say that 😑
Big if true
LETS FUCKING GO BITCHHHHH
The Knicks have the high ground
Brunson is him. It’s up there with the best in the league.
Spurs really fumbled this one.
Looking at you Mitch Johnson…this was a disgusting offensive performance
dude really subbed out Harper for the last 3 minutes
Anyone who doesn’t know Knicks are winning this Finals hasn’t been paying attention
Taking game 1 away is fucking huge
Yup,… Fox was definitely in the MINUS this game
Fox is fast as hell but just bricks every shot
He sold this one
I hate to say it but I think he is washed
Wemby getting dependent on the refs, just play your game.
attack the damn basket
Fox gotta be on the bench rn lol
Losing a game effectively because of an offensive rebound by the smallest guy on the court is pretty pathetic.
Harper should close, not Fox
Fox messed the end of the game up for the Spurs.
The refs control the game the whole time… it’s fucking annoying. Spurs go up the calls go the other way.. and vice versa
talen won them that game
Fox over Harper still eh fire the coach no balls
New York daddys putting a spanking
Hell yeah
Gg see yall game 2 NY needs to thank Fox for his contributions
god, seeing Wemby slip was healing
New York finna go crazy
Wemby will not lose he’s the perfect human
josh hart is dennis rodman
Fox cannot be closing these games over Harper
It’s not over btw spurs are winning
the knicks are currently winning
Fox cooked yall
Fox is not a lead guard on a championship team. Absolutely threw this game away
Fox killed the spurs this game
Harper should be closing instead of Fox
Fox WTF u doing
They are gonna execute Fox on site
Smallest guy in the court with the offensive rebound
This is cinema
Idk know much anout basketball could be so kind as to explain how the Knicks are winning, wiuld appreciate in simple terms if thats ok, sorry if i sound like noob?
good chemistry and they play hard they’re high effort high iq players
People underestimate the Knicks but they are a well constructed team
Knicks are a great team genuinely that’s why
They are a real good team
Wemby turning into SGA with the flops
That wasnt a flop. Bad pass had him extending back, if was just a shit call. The defensive player never extended his hands.
A man that big whipping his back like that from a hand on his back with no extension is the definition of a flop
No, the man is just reaching for a pass thrown behind him… hes got long arms. What else is he suppose to do? Im not a wemby fan btw, i think hes overrated. But it looked like simple physics to me man lol.
You don’t need to snap your neck back and scream like you Meek Mills in Diddy’s house of horrors.
Knicks what happened lmao you guys will lose this game
Lol
Spurs finally got the lead back.
Wemby I love you
What a finish
10-29. 😬😬😬😬😬
Great game so far
Josh hart is a demon
I like the fans wearing vibrant colors. Reminds me of the 90s
Peak era of NBA. I dig it too.
It’s awesome.
Go at that weak ass mother fucker.
Yeah wemby is a super pussy I agree
How tf is Wemby throwing a shoulder into KAT a foul on KAT
Insanity
Why doesn’t Wemby go real hard and dominate to the board? Dude could be aggressive and fully take over with his size and movement if he wanted. Like a real angry menace.
That limp might be something limiting him and he’s fatigued hard from previous series
Insane that’s not offensive
Wemby isn’t a center. He gets the ball in the paint and wants to run out to the arc and shoot a 3
I genuinely love how Wemby shoots everything. LeBron while I love and think he’s the goat never shoots and always looks for the best shot possible (which is why he’s the goat) still Wemby is Kobe but 7’6 lmao
Ain’t top of the backboard out of bounds? Shouldn’t it be Knicks ball?
Man Wemby is OFFFFFFFFFFFF
Wemby what are these shots bro?!
Knicks still think they’re winning lol
this aged well in minutes
the knicks are actually winning
They still have the lead, chill dude.
the knicks currently still are winning
Pulled a playoff p hehe
fox selling hard hard
Hmmm, maybe you can actually box out and minimise Wemby’s movement ability without holding him.
Diagonal plz take notes
This one’s gonna hurt the spurs. They played well all game just to lose it in the last 8 minutes.
It’s far from over
Seal/foul. Nevertheless, impressive so far from the Knicks.
love wemby but he’s gotta stop acting like he’s dirk and attack the fucking basket
Yes bro yup. Needs to add a sky hook to his bag.
Gotta get Champagnie off Brunson
Bro Wemby even gave that selfie a little smile lmao
A man of the people
Dude that ran on court was SGA flopping around.
Lmao
This game is over.
Bruh why’d they give the streaker a replay. Don’t reward the kid
Right? You’re encouraging someone to replicate it
NBA screws everything up
Blame CBS, not the NBA
Ya that was weird
The Knicks intro mockery music coming back to bite the spurs in the ass
Rushing the court to take a photo and not even having a newer phone for optimal quality….smh
Hope that guy enjoyed his last ever live NBA game
whoever horses that dude harder gets ball
OH MY GOD THEY GAVE HIM A SLOWMO REPLAY
Lets just tempt every other fame starved loser out there
I’ve never, in any sport, seen them show a replay of someone running on the field/court like that.
Wish the fan was one of the court side eye candy.
Wish it was a big ol women
Who wants to bet that guy made a bet that someone would run to the court
Would be stupid not to
Smh. Leave it to a Texas fan.
Was fhat timothee chalamet?
If he made a kalshi bet, he getting paid
wtf was that
A streaker? Really bro…
They place bets on polymarkets, and he probably won
No one is going to read this but my dog was limping and I massaged her thigh and she was smiling and now she’s not limping she then she licked my hand. I love her a lot
Good for you and your doggy
I love your dog Too
Thank you homie, her name is Frida and I’ll tell her what you said
This is the same nba that so many people spend the entire season bitchin about?
SGA would of flopped 20x already. So glad we have ethical basketball to watch. It’s so much more fun for viewers
A lot of people in here need to reread their own comments they posted at halftime
JB is one of the best finishers I’ve seen.
[deleted]
Praise the basketball lords we didn’t get Thunder Cavs 🙏🏻
I’m not sure what Shamet did to Scott foster but cmon man
I’m pretty sure Shamet isn’t just flopping when going for rebounds lol
This is fun
Damn OG!
Damn I had to step away for most of the 3rd. Wasn’t expecting to come back to a tied game. Oughta be a mighty fine 4th
I cant watch it. Only a boxscore nephew here.
Rooting for Knicks .. but: Someone tell me why Wemby is 3 for 13.
Because spurs coach isn’t the coach they need, he’s wasting the best player
Taking tough shots. Lots of them are rimming out. He can’t get anything going really.
Because he’s missed 10 shots.
Can’t explain you just have to watch nephew, and it’s past your bedtime
Whole San Antonio is sucking tonighg
3-13 for a player that should be shooting at least 50% from the field at a times is really bad.
He’s getting fouled on most of his attempts
1-6 from three btw
How much did they have to scale down Wemby for that Graphic 😭
Where can I stream?
That banked corner three just sealed the game for the Knicks. Sorry Spurs fans.
Knicks just keep improving
Robinson trying to defend Wemby on a dunk looked like those videos of big security guards trying to catch kids on skateboards to make them go somewhere else.
Knicks seem like they let Wemby tire himself out over the first half bc wow have they turned it up
A lot of people said a lot of shit about the Knicks in here
Banked in corner threes exist?
I smell cinema coming
Should I buy a ninja creami?
Wemby just grew another foot
Wemby is actually playing awful
Wemby is inconsistent that’s been known and you have to win those games
Why is the broadcast quality so bad
NBA broadcasts stopped being big league years ago.
