Knicks match up really well against them. But Spurs also played some horrible offense. Every time Wemby iso at the top while Knicks wings sit right in the gaps I cringe inside. They need to find a way to get him deeper catches because he was effective when he got inside. And i expect they’ll try to actually attack Brunson and KAT in pick and rolls, which they didn’t do at all tonight.

Agreed. Cavs seemed like they set out to foul him every time he had a scoring opportunity early in the series. They baited them into it, got themselves in the bonus early, then brought KAT in when they were. Everyone on the team besides Mitch are good FT shooters.

Brunson was guarding vessel and Julian a lot. Spurs should have them attack Brunson or set screens for castle, fox, Harper to get switch. But yeah Knicks keep him hidden well. Spurs don’t want to be attacking og and bridges all series.

Dormitory-21 | Knicks

28 | 9 hours ago

Brunson is a defensive liability because he’s 6’1 at best, not because he’s free real estate on switches. Dude has a big body, great BBIQ, and fights through screens. Also draws more offensive fouls than anyone else

simple_account

True but he’s definitely weakest 1 on 1 defenders. Fox is too quick and castle and Harper are way too big for him. It also would wear him down to have to actually do something on defense.

All Im saying is that he’s not the traffic cone Big Basketball wants you to believe he is.

skwirly715 | NYK

Brunson is also excellent at playing within the scheme. The other, better, defenders know exactly when he is going to hedge, when he is going to stick, and when he is going to pre-switch. This allows them to start their rotation BEFORE Brunson gets beat and ice whatever is happening. If you watch carefully even when Brunson accepts a switch he gets rotated back off of the ball handler before the action completes.

TheIrrepressible1

1 | 4 hours ago

The Knicks will lose the rebounding battle with Brunson’s man, like they do in every series. At the end of the day, Brunson wins the matchup overall, as he did last night. The rest of the matchups on defense the Knicks win.

Wemby isn’t strong enough to fight for inside positioning against Mitch/KAT, and he’s so skinny that everybody dodges his screens

Knicks in 4

simple_account

15 | 10 hours ago

I think it tires him out. He had stretches like that against okc. He’d play inside and spurs would win. He’d play outside and they’d lose. Same pattern here so far. He was able to attack KAT in post and draw fouls. It was just hard to get him down there in the first place. Spurs should run him off more off ball screens and start him near dunker spot instead of standing at the top.

This_Salt7080 | Knicks

7 | 9 hours ago

Good points, I agree. Going into this series I knew Wemby would get tired, he hasn’t been playing full seasons like these Knicks teams the last few years, and was on restrictions for a large part of this season.

His conditioning isn’t there, and when we have multiple seven footers that can defend, as well as two lockdown wings, Wemby is gonna have to turn into Thanos if he wants to win this series.

TheIrrepressible1

6 | 4 hours ago

Anyone who thinks the Knicks will guard Wemby with a guard or a skinny forward like Bridges has lost their marbles. At worst, the Knicks go “small” with OG…LOL. OG is an agile tank at 6’8” 245 of solid muscle and athleticism. This is why I’m not too worried about Wemby. His strengths are neutralized by our height and power from any of our bigs.

FBI_KipHackman | Knicks

Dang this just clicked for me. This is why Wemby is always pushing off when he sets screens, because guys are getting right around him. Glad the refs caught one of those last night. I hope they watch for it more.

Lol all game it was happening. He sets a screen and the defender was able to go over or under every single time without issue.

Top_Wolverine_4979

6 | 9 hours ago

For real, the way they kept parking Wemby at the three point line and just letting him dribble into traffic was painful to watch. He’s too good in the post to waste that many possessions on deep isos, especially when you got Brunson and KAT just begging to get targeted in the PnR.

QuiffLing | NBA

3 | 8 hours ago

Spurs tried pnr for a few times but with no success, because Wemby isn’t good at setting picks. He uses his arms instead of his body.

TheIrrepressible1

3 | 4 hours ago

The Knicks don’t need to guard Wemby with a player who is thinner, shorter and/or weaker. The smallest they need to go is OG and OG won’t allow Wemby to freely dribble his way into the paint. And they don’t need to go smaller. They have KAT & Mitch who do just fine defending him. Their size and power stymie Wemby. His advantage is freelancing off the glass. Put a body on him and he’s a non-factor off the glass.

MrICopyYoSht | Knicks

2 | 9 hours ago

Well, they don’t really have a table setter/ball handler that can initiate the offense that isn’t named DeAaron Fox. Wemby is an offensive hub but he’s not really a table setter like Point KAT is.

TheIrrepressible1

15 | 4 hours ago

What possible adjustments can the Spurs make? The Knicks didn’t even unleash the Flex offense they uncorked against the Hawks. All the Knicks did was halfcourt the Spurs to death. The Knicks only vulnerability is turnovers. The Spurs don’t turn teams over. They depend on Wemby to clean up in the middle. That’s fine and dandy, but if the Knicks are hitting their threes, it’s going to be death for any team.

Offensively, the Knicks didn’t play well at all last night. And still won by double digits. Brunson shot terribly. The team shot poorly overall. However, the defense was maniacal. We hit our free throws and didn’t turn the rock over. That was enough to power us to victory.

Seems like by design though to not use the flex offense? Coaching staff thinks it would be less effective against the Spurs?

TheIrrepressible1

4 | an hour ago

The answer is why the Spurs are an easier matchup. The Spurs don’t fullcourt press. Not in their philosophy. The Flex is designed to take the pressure off Brunson and push him more off-ball where his responsibility then is to score.

The Knicks lose in the playoffs when teams can effectively press their team when Brunson is off the floor or when when he is on the floor, and they force the Knicks weaker perimeter ball-handlers to create offense. Hence, the usage of KAT as a distributor. The Knicks don’t need to do this, because Brunson would rarely be threatened by the Spurs pressure. That’s not their game.

And teams can’t do that when Brunson goes to the pine. Alvarado is MORE than equipped to run our offense in 10 minute spurts. Knicks haven’t had someone like that off the bench since D-Rose was here. Teams have tried to press, but it’s failed.

Nuggets was 3:1 against Spurs as well, the only loss was a 3 point deficit.

Nuggets and Knicks have one thing in common, both teams have a versatile offensive center, Jokic and KAT.

Edit: They both can lure Wemby out of the paint, therefore nullify his help defense.

FroyoSolid8414

7 | 6 hours ago

More so, Wemby HAS been play 1:1 and they’re good passers (great in the case of Joker), so they nullify Wembys help defense. Both can shoot out to three so this is true even without the ball. Finally, if Wemby switches off, the Spurs lack anyone to keep JoKAT off the boards and they’ll abuse the Spurs’ small 1-4

I mean, Wemby sucked in far too many shots, Fox and the rest could’ve taken a lot of those terrible shots from Wemby.

Spurs fans are more into length than girth. Amateurs.

KAT has been an underrated defender, if he keeps this up its their trophy

He is already scoring and distributing like he’s Jokic or something

Guy has really unlocked a new level of just having control of the game without having to put up a lot of shots, impacting in every way

I don’t think he’s been that underrated, he’s just been improving. He’s really cut down on stupid fouls and also let’s be fair: he struggles with the big, wide athletic centers a lot more. Someone like a healthy Embiid is his nightmare matchup: immediate foul trouble every time

Spurs were also the first team to hold the Knicks below 106 in the playoffs. The last team to do so was the Charlotte Hornets in the last game of the regular season.

We’re a great matchup and we’ve got a whole new offense. Good luck

The Knicks offense has been so proficient during the playoffs that people forgot all about the metal bats.

Ending a 40-game streak in the Finals is wild, that Knicks defense picked the perfect time to remind everyone it travels.

Holding Wemby and the Spurs under 100 in today’s NBA is actually insane. A healthy Mitch Rob completely changes the ceiling of this Knicks defense.

As everyone is pointing out, the Knicks are an awful awful matchup for us. Kat is a great Wemby counter on both ends, they have great size on the wings, and they’re a bunch of dogs.

But still, this was a tied game with 2 minutes left. The spurs blew a 14 point lead. Idk how the discussion after this game is that the Spurs are cooked. Both teams shot like shit, spurs made some uncharacteristic errors, and one of the teams had to win and it was the Knicks.

Going into the series, I picked Spurs in 7 and assumed we’d be going back to NY tied 1-1. Most people picked a long series, so you’d assume most people also thought 1-1 after 2. So obviously tomorrow’s game is a must win for the Spurs, but if they get it then this series is more or less exactly where it should be.

Anyone who thought Spurs in 5 just wasn’t paying attention to what this matchup entailed for the Spurs.

I don’t think the spurs should panic… however, Brunson missed large parts of the first, the knicks shot poorly (so did the spurs) and lost the ft battle by 10. Hart was also in foul trouble and missed most of the first half.

This was far from a good knicks game, the knicks run conviently started when brunson returned and Hart was able to be on the floor.

Like the series against the cavs the spurs blew a “should win” game and now variance will swing to the knicks favors and the spurs will have to win the “knicks + refs” game which would be infinitely harder and at msg.

Knicks gotta clean up transition and corner 3’s but overall def have done great defensively and timely offense from guys.

I think at this point, Knicks likely win in 5 or 6. I think Spurs will take game 2, but they will lose both on the road.

I was told the regular season doesn’t matter and the championship round is a different beast.

Truer words couldn’t be spoken.

Tonight the Spurs ended a 40-game streak of scoring at least 100 points. The last team to hold them under 100 was the New York Knicks.
