[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama misses the potential game winner and the Knicks take game 2 and go up 2-0 in the series vs. the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals!
Knicks won a Brunson disasterclass
How do you lose when Brunson is this bad and Brothers is this good
Mikal bridges played like his contract and trade
And KAT played like the best player on the floor prior to being iced out in the 4th
He was iced out way before that by Tony
Felt like the whole second half. Annoyong
So impressed with Kat in these playoffs. He has had a lot of reason in the past for people to dismiss him but I would legit have him as Finals MVP at this stage.
I have been one of his biggest critics at times due to him disappearing at times but he has been nothing short of fantastic these whole playoffs
FUCK THEM PICKS
subscribe
Picks were so annoying.
Bridges and Shamet won them this game
KAT, Bridges, Shamet and OG 4-way tie for Game MVP.
Brunson and Mitch with -10s and we still won a Tony Brothers certified hood classic game. Unreal
Kat is the franchise
I take back everything I’ve ever said about Karlos
Karlos Antonio Pueblo
lol I always call him Carlos Antonio Barrios
Oh that’s actually better since Barrios is an actual name lol
And now they’re headed home. I don’t think they’re losing there unfortunately
BRO KAT NEEDS TO SHOOT MORE IN THE 4TH. HE JUST STANDS ON THE SIDE
team is icing him
since G3 of the 1st Round against the Hawks, we finally stopped doing that. Mike Brown needs to make sure this does not happen again for the rest of the series
Mikal steps up!
Trade Brunson build around KAT. Big purr season
2 tour date shooting nights in a row. but doesn’t matter because the rest of the squad is playing incredible ball right now.
Disasterclass is too far. A fair chunk of those misses were in-and-out’s from his spots.
That turnover might be history altering
that missed jumper into a flop might be worse
He’s gonna remember that all weekend. Lol
Victor Wembanyama has a 100% Fall% on game winning shot attempts in the NBA finals
New butterfly effect timeline starts now.
Me ugly, poor, and fat- “Man if only Wemby hadn’t turned the ball over…”
and only two of the three if he didn’t turn it over
Leicester winning the PL in 2016 is what set us on the shit timeline maybe the Knicks winning in 2026 will correct us back
Honestly think bale Stephon Castle would recognize that pass.
They got the stop they needed. SMH
Early footnote on a 6 ring career
That turnover perfectly encapsulates the level of difference in Experience between these two cohorts.
Secret Base material
GET YOUR ASS IN THE PAINT DUMBASS
This. I have no idea why he wasn’t in there
They baited him into that shot!!! Watch it again
It is so frustrating to watch a 7’4” guy shoot a 18-19-footer to try to win the game. Use your height to your advantage.
Kevin Durant gave people too much belief in themselves
LOL, true!
I was watching the game with a coworker who knows nothing about basketball and even he was shocked Wemby didn’t drive the lane
Wemby in the paint, anyone else takes a shot, Wemby tries to clean it up if it misses.
Probably twice as likely to result in 2 points than this plan.
If the Knicks win the championship, I better see a Danhausen statue at MSG lmao
Who
A pro wrestler who initially cursed the Knicks to spite Stephen A. Smith when he appeared on First Take. After the Knicks were down 2-1 against the Hawks, a fan paid to have Danhausen un-curse the Knicks through Cameo and since then, they’ve been 13-0.
Lol I didn’t realize that shit happened right before the 13-0 run. I get it now.
Diehard Knicks fan pro wrestler who has a gimmick of cursing people. He cursed the Spurs lol.
OH, THAT IS NOT VERY NICE.
YOU… ARE… CURSED!
… u/PumpkinHead555
Ball didn’t get inside the three point line until under three seconds left. Can’t do that.
Right? This is, at best, an average shooting team. Their guards seem to thrive in the paint, and you’ve got a guy who’s 7’5
Agreed. it should be at minimum a drive straight into the paint, they would have got the whistle too if that didn’t work.
Bro what
Yeah that possession was rough to watch. Felt like they just panicked and waited way too long to actually start the play.
Fox was enjoying the moment, taking in the sights
brunson disasterclass saved by a wemby disasterclass
For real, Brunson was trying his best to give them that game with some of those late turnovers but Wemby said “hold my beer
And he fell down on the shot too. How ironic
Same shit they were making fun of SGA for, the irony of it all. I’m so glad this dirty spurs team is being exposed lol. Everyones hate boner for the OKC made everyone start overlooking how dirty and ‘unethical’ the spurs have played during the post season for the last couple series’.
Why did he fall down?
To draw a foul obviously but the spurs only play ethical ball of course
Ethical flop
Mitch’s aura
Tried to pull an SGA
Lmfao tried to foul bait too foh
Flopperrrr flopperrrrrr
FUCK YA LIFE
Falling down on jump shots. All the rage. I would know
Hope they give Wemby’s falling down stats on the broadcast for the rest of the series.
LMAOOO im a fucking pacers fan but that shit pissed me off, the glorifying of the spurs and their ‘ethical’ hoops when they are dirty as shit and flop just as much. The amount of bandwagoning against the Thunder was also annoying, was some actual hivemind shit. I pray the Knicks sweep them.
Just dunk it man you’re literally 8 feet tall
Once he figures out this trick man…
Do you see what’s in front of him?
A whole bunch of free throw potential, but he chose the jumper/flop
Flopped aswell
Stephon Castle eliminated
Don’t worry. Series is tied 1-1 analytically - James Harden
refs cant save you lmao
Insane that Wemby took back to back midrange shots in the clutch. Is this really what Mitch draws up?
No. Wemby just makes bad decisions
You can see that they wanted that pick and pop, it was a designed play. Not a bad shot either
Sga would’ve made that
HASBEENYAMA
WEMBY STOP WITH THE SHOOTING GUARD BS, YOU ARE THE TALLEST MAN ALIVE. DRIVE OR ASK FOR A LOB.
Yikes
Wemby Fallbanyama plays like he’s 2 feet shorter than he is
Fraud
MY MAYOR IS MUSLIM
MY BAGEL’S JEWISH
MY CHRISTIAN DIOR
He should have flopped harder. Maybe he would have got it to go in.
Ethical choker
That botched pass by Wemby resulting in the turnover is one of the worst errors I’ve ever seen in the Finals.
is this r/nba real MVP?
Lights Too Bright Wemby vs Broadway Brunson
Why is Wemby (as great as he is) taking that shot
He’s way overrated. He’s just tall that’s it.
Series ain’t even over
These are the moments that will transform Wemby into a supervillain.
Horrible final two possession by Spurs. Wemby is great but his 18 ft jumpshot is not in his game
They took so much time to set the screen and make the pass so far outside the perimeter that Wemby couldn’t confidently take a full roll, he should have gone right to the rack
Either that or you draw up a Fox jumper with Wemby set in the paint ready for a putback as needed.
I aged like 3 years in that 4th quarter
7’5 can’t get into the paint, can’t draw contact fuck’s sake
his height is working against him here, he’s getting knocked off balance by standard contact and won’t even develop a hook shot or simple high jumper to score more
Wemby isn’t him
That turnover man… so sad
failed comeback gimmick to go down 0-2 with a wembfraud choke, oh man what a generational hate watch
Brother the Knicks (!!!!) are gonna win the title what in the world are you talking about hating on the Spurs lol
Closeted Blazers fan
Nasty work.
Knicks blew a lead and still won. How? Just how. What a game.
Chet Holmgren is on the Spurs?
SIDETALK PREPARE
Three missed shots and a brutal TO to finish the game. GOAT things
Wemby is incredibly unclutch holy cow
Spurs really forget that Wemby is a foot taller than anyone else on the floor and to get him in the post
Wemby gets too many passes. He made so many bone headed decisions, pretty much cost them the game.
Wemby does not have the clutch gene
Ref baby had every call and still lost. MAY THE FRAUDWATCH COMMENCE!
Mitch Johnson cannot draw up plays
Chet would never!
show the fall%
Damn wemby tried to flop too
Absolutely brutal
I’m shocked Fox didn’t take that shot
Yeah, Wemby isn’t the best in the world. Gun was jumped WAY too soon.
I mean… its only 3 years in…. and what if he plays amazing the rest of the series?
TERRIBLE clock management, absolutely terrible lmaooo
Lmaoooooo you’re 7 foot 4. Two times he settles for horrible jumpers , go to the rim
Guards then converge on him and attack his dribble. And he’s met with a wall
Sometimes i think the yokels in here do not understand how basketball works
2 more wins until NYC burns down and Knicks fans end up making it look like Escape From New York
Madison square garden might unleash the beast. MJ always said his favorite place to play was the garden. Let’s see what the spurs can cook up.
Untouched and falling to the ground smh. GET TO THE BASKET HOLLYYYYYY.
Are we sure Mitch Johnson is a good coach?
He’s not
We will see once Sweeney leaves after this season
NEVER DOUBTED THIS TEAM ONCE
He just needed to keep rolling to the basket
I can’t believe this is happening
Wembum
He had an open cutting lane to the basket.
Not even nuns, Tony Brothers, KAT and Hart in foul trouble, and a historically shit game from Brunson could prevent 2-0 lol
Not even having Wemby in the paint is a testament to how much they trust him against Robinson.
Just drive the ball 7.5 footer
No way that’s the play out of a timeout
France.
How the fuck is a PnR into Wemby pull up jumper the play call lol. Every Wemby jumper has been a brick, especially in the first half. The whole reason you come back into this game is getting Wemby shots at the rim.
Absolute disaster of a playcall
Horrible play call.
We lost even with the refs helping the script.
They said the okc - spurs is the real finals. Now spurs players took it personal and to them this is just a bonus series. They didnt want to win this
3 years in and the guys career is decided.
Jesus Christ, LeBron lost and played bad in his first Finals.
Spurs are ahead of schedule. It aint over. I see a legendary comeback.
Castle sets a back screen on Robinson, Wemby cuts to the hoop. Fox to Wemby for the lob/jam over hart.
Reverse bang!
The Spurs fans might be right about the sweep.
Unreal ending
Pope nullifies Salesian Sisters once again.
Really tried that SGA bullshit on the final game winning shot in the finals.
What a terrible ATO haha you have Wemby why not go for the lob
Why isn’t he camping in the paint
The Knicks really about to bring that trophy back to NYC
Wemby back to back blunders. Foot dribble in Game 1 and Foul blunder in Game 2.
Wemby falling down like SGA, lol.
THANK GOD
Spurs are cooked.
Pull out the broom.
Why did he flopped and fall? There was literally no one in his landing space.
Fox should take that shot, he was hot hand
Wemby<Hali
A few days ago, I made a comment comparing the similarities between Wemby’s Finals run in 2026 to LeBron’s run in 2007. Both were age 22 and Wemby’s game 1 against OKC (41⁄24 in 2OT) was his version of LeBron’s game 5 against DET (48 in 2OT, final 25 in a row) in 2007 (both legendary moments in NBA history)
I thought the similarities would stop there though since the Spurs were pretty big favorites and had HC advantage against the Knicks. Instead, Wemby has the chance to keep the similarities going if he ends up getting swept by the Knicks oof
Not him.
Wemby last shot never made sense…if it was someone else, atleast he would’ve had the chance to be in the paint for a possible tip in
Why does Wemby gotta do everything? His team is playing like trash.
Wemby lost the game through and through as their best player.
Wemby Buckner.
Wemby tryna eliminate all his teammates so he gets 4 2tall animations
Wemby tried to pull a SGA move there lol
Why Wemby did not drive? a foul can win them the game
Wemby looking like Chet out there 😂
What broke my heart is that this was a planned play: they had a timeout, knew how long was left, and this is the best attempt they could pull off.
I’m sure the situation is incredibly stressful, and 7 seconds is not a lot but …. dribbling 60% of it away to end with a shaky pass to a mediocre position shot feels like the wrong strategy.
That said, maybe this is a case of NY defending so well that they make any offensive look clumsy. In any case, the Knicks did deserve the win in the end, regardless of this play. I really hope SA can produce more consistent performances in the rest of the series, even if they don’t win it all.
