[Uthayakumar] New York was down 20 with 9:33 left in the fourth quarter. They’re the first team to come back from a 20-point fourth quarter deficit in the Finals over the last 30 seasons.
The spurs were rushing threes every possession. They had like 16 seconds left on the clock and rushed it. Every time. They deserve the loss.
They were better off just not even shooting and letting the shot clock hit zero. They would have won doing that which is hilarious.
Which is basically what the cavs should’ve done too ironically lmao
Legitimately Deja vu, it’s like Mitch Johnson showed them the fourth quarter of that game and said “this is the gameplan.” Sign of a poorly coached team I suppose
Definitely deja vu. Spurs took a 20-4 and just then called a time out. They made little to no adjustments. They played with rush and did not went back to what was working.
This was all done by the Cavs.
There is no going back from such a loss.
This is basically the NBA’s 28-3
Bro come on
Hey man, it wasn’t us this time!
It literally is 28-3. All they had to do was kill clock and they win.
Yeah 10 24 second shot clock violations might have been better, no runouts.
Being up 30 and still going full gas is insane, should’ve played for time and had nick’s burn themselves out running around playing D while spurs play clock
Which is hilarious coz they knew how to wind down the game in game 3. Wtf happened. Did they got complacent or sth.
ngl they almost failed at winding down that game as well the knicks got super close in that last minute
They missed 3 in a row on the same possession but it was killing us in the first half.
At some point (maybe not this series) they’ll learn they can’t just keep shooting deep and need to use their freak big man inside or their elite point guard on drives to get easier looks.
I don’t understand, is Mitch Johnson gonna actually coach or what? Didn’t call a time out while his team was chucking up random 3s until they went like 1-10 or some shit like that, then they went right back to it. Like this was for sure a deserved loss 😭
listen i’m no nba coach but i feel like you should probably tell your team to hold onto the ball more and shed time off the clock if you’re choking. just slow the bleed and play decent enough defense
i say this as someone who’s favorite team probably leads the league is most choked leads during the regular season. happens way too often where the team start panicking and trying everything they can as once the opposing team starts getting the upper hand.
They just had almost 2 full games of hitting most their bullshit 3s
So it is hard to change that approach on the fly
I don’t know anything about basketball but even I kept wondering why they were throwing Hail Marys despite being ahead.
The smaller the lead grew the faster they chucked up 3s
It’s all on the coach.
That’s coaching
With 6 minutes left these idiots were rushing shots. At that point they still had about a 10 point lead. I would have been dribbling the air out of the ball every possession. If they hold for a few of those plays they could have easily taken about 40 seconds out of the game. Generational choke job. All they had to do was do a couple of things right. They wanted to lose it.
I’m still in shock. We all just saw the 28-3 of the NBA. Knicks fans are going to be insufferable, deservedly so.
My wife and kids are heading to a hotel
They about to get jumped from flying Knicks fans
Wait? Are you the Aristocrats?
Wtf were the Spurs doing?!
deaaron fox might actually play for the kicks
Tbh OG absolutely stole the show.
Insane bone head plays by fox though.
OG is the perfect basketball player
Low maintenance but effective 3level scorer, can put the ball on the floor and attack the rim, the most versatile defender in the league and one of the best and clutchest ones at that
And just a fighter that does all the little things right like boxing out, reading rebounds, pushing the tempo on fastbreaks and always hustling even on opponent fastbreaks
He’s gotta be the most desirable player in the NBA. You can pair him with anyone. He’s incredible.
Fuck I wish we drafted him over Ferguson. Such a solid player.
Why didn’t he just hold on to the ball and get fouled?!
All he had to do after chasing down the steal was run back out and waste time. What does he do instead? Go straight at OG for a contested layup. For a vet he played like he was pissing himself the whole game. Dumb decisions after dumb decisions.
Trying to recreate what they did in the first half without any offensive rhythm
Turns out 33% 3P shooters aren’t going to shoot 60% forever.
Box out OG. Fox hold on to the ball and ice free throws. Choose one and the spurs probably still win. I mean, I’m sure the Knicks still pull off some crazy destiny shit but the spurs still had their chances even with that abysmal offensive second half.
He made the best play last series to ice the OKC game with that foul, yet he made this same play lmao
Well, see, that’s the difference. They were fueled by hatred to constantly make perfect plays against us.
Or wemby not missing both late free throws.
He looked shook as hell at the line. I’ve never been so sure someone was going to miss both. He was definitely gassed but he definitely did look afraid.
They had their chances but we were able to cut the lead down because Spurs just kept chucking 3s.
Mitch Johnson saw Joe Mazzulla teams shoot themselves out of games by continuing to chuck threes and said “fuck yeah that sounds like a great idea”
Mazzulla at least had better shooters and doesn’t have a 8 footer that can score over people in the paint. God bless everyone thinking they Steph now after a few 3s.
I mean that 8 footer was 3⁄17 in the second half. Wemby deserves a lot of blame for that collapse too
At the end of the day, Wemby is undeniably French
Honestly, the 29 point lead was kinda flukey. The Knicks weren’t playing well defensively, but the Spurs had a magnet ball.
The Knicks stepped up big in the second half, but the biggest change by far was just that the Spurs’ shooting came back down to earth. Then, once the Knicks made it a game, the Spurs were too shook to land the plane.
“Spurs trick y’all, man, like they playing defense. They don’t guard nobody, man. They just running around, doing nothing.”
There’s a lot of receipts to collect in this sub tonight.
Including from Knicks fans like me. I own what I said and go right ahead with the receipts on me. I’ve been through all the horrific losses over the decades and I’d rather feel like this than depressed.
Not me
Oof
That was an all time choke job holy shit. I can’t believe the spurs choked that.
As a falcons fan man fuck u but also that was lit i get why people bring it up
Just 1 more win and that’s it.
And they have that other comeback against the Cavs. Just insane.
They are so resilient. They did the same thing G1 vs the Cavs.
That was so awesome to watch in real time. OG deserved that one
If you wrote this for a movie it would be unbelievable the way that last minute went.
I was about to be so toxic in some locked threads
I was literally thinking 28-3 too, that’s fucked up 😂
Can’t believe I just witnessed the worst choke in NBA history
I can’t believe it lmao team of destiny type shit
Me neither. Spurs gotta be sick as hell.
Reporting spurs fans for potential self ham tonight after watching their father choke viscously.
#oneheart #mentalhealthmatters
Is self ham how they pronounce it in Boston?
Nah, that’s San Antonio women
At least they know now that Fox and Mitch Johnson aren’t it
The last play was just the icing on the cake. Everything he did in the second half was god awful.
Every Johnson on the spurs team has gotta go
I feel sick and I’m not even a spurs fan
Mitch decided to let it go down to 4 before calling timeout. Like what even is that? How does that happen? Fireable offense
There’s been like 3 worst chokes this whole playoffs it’s hilarious. Pistons beat the Magic after the Magic went 45 real life minutes not hitting one shot, then the next round the Pistons let up a huge 4th qtr comeback to the Cavs.
And then the cavs blew a huge lead to NY, it’s a chain!
It’s like poetry, it rhymes
I like to frame it as “Greatest comeback.”
i dreamed of this day for so many years…
Subscribe.
I have mild Asthma long story short, I am telling my doctor to increase my medcitions tomorrow morning. Fucking hate this sport with a passion
28-3 level choke
records are meant to be broken
Fox needs to traded
Holy shit what a choke job
Spurs coach needs to go back to fucking Morrowind
😂😂😂 I knew he looked familiar. Wood elf lookin ass
Send him to the deepest depths of the ashlands.
I swear they have one of the worst coaches in the league or at best top 15
This guy has 0 prep for his team in any situation. Doesn’t play the right players, and has no offensive philosophy
He’s essentially the guy they had to hire, cause Pop couldn’t.
They weren’t prepared to move on like they were in 11-15.
Ya think they can ask Ettore Messina to take the job, or are they a decade too late for that?
They had 3 people, all with big time jobs atm haha. Udoka, Hammon and Messina.
Messina said fuck you all when Pop decided to not retire and went back to Italy, understandably so
The missing piece for the spurs is just trading fox and hiring a decent coach
Hahaha everytime he pops up, I’m like BY AZURA, BY AZURA.
Oblivion looking mfer.
That damned n’wah.
Why he continues to get more minutes than Harper is beyond me
Quarter billion contract too
He could have just held it at the last second. Also, Mitch Johnson could have called a timeout. He made the same mistake 2 games ago when Wemby got the rebound and threw it Castles back.
He acts like them shits roll over
If there’s two people you’d expect to prevent that crazy collapse, it should be the coach and the veteran PG.
This. If Harper fucks up, you genuinely blame it to experience. Fox has no alibi.
Because the spurs don’t have a real coach
He’s completely useless when the team needed him.
I genuinely cant believe what i just saw from the team’s vet
I mean he was the only spurs guy consistently hitting threes late in the game. Dude still had some ridiculous turnovers
That whole last hour feels like a fever dream
I’m so gawd damn stoked - the OG tip in had me leap off my couch
Bro same
My mouth is still hanging open. I can’t believe what I just watched
I took a 4.5hr train home to Manhattan to watch the game with my whole family, parents included. I’m so glad I’ll always have this moment with them.
That’s super nice.
I don’t remember the last sports game in general that left me this literally open mouthed at the end.
Absolutely wild
I am a Heat fan and old enough for the Knicks to be my ancient enemy, and even I was tearing up!
I came back home about an hour before the game due to fire evacuation in my area. Was absolutely drained and needed a nap. Missed my alarm and scrambled to turn the game on. Started watching when it was 59-34 mid 2nd quarter. Is this all just a fever dream? Has the game started? Today had been an emotional roller coaster, from thinking I might see my house burn down, to witnessing the greatest comeback in nba history. What the fuck man
Brought to you by former clutch player of the year, Fox
Hey don’t forget Wemby, people were already calling him the GOAT and he completely disappeared
Immediately knew those 2 missed FTs would haunt him
You could have said the same thing about Hart’s missed layup right before, tbf
Good maybe it will check ego
How about his entire 4th quarter? 2-9 FG, 1-4 FT.
It’s like he hits a timer and just becomes the most passive player in the league.
Forget the monks, dude needs to go train with Gobert and gain some endurance
Last game we were able to play Kornet extended minutes and not blow the lead as much. This time he barely sat in the second half.
Mismanagement
He’s so lucky Fox is there to take the heat off him
all fox had to do was hold the fucking ball. he’s making 50 million fucking dollars a year i’m deadass shaking right now from how mad i am what the fuck is wrong with him
He’s one of the biggest reason why they choked. Dumb iso possessions, dumb turnovers, and just flat out dumb decision making the whole second half.
He pulled a Cameron boozer or whatever the fuck his name was
That’s on coach… They didn’t fuck up on one play, it was an entire final quarter of braindead behavior and no one pulled them aside to change course.
He’s soooo bad it’s insane.
if he’s on the spurs next season then wemby will never win a ring he’s that fucking bad
Greatest comeback ever in playoffs history.
This was a game that gets its own Wikipedia page!!
Can’t believe I was here for that disaster.
‘The Putback’, ‘The Tip’, something that goes with OG… possibilities are endless.
that was one of the greatest things i’ve ever seen
what a fucking performance by OG and Brunson. They never stopped.
Im so glad I didnt turn it off. Absolute cinema
Worst thing if some Knicks fans left early (I mean understandable because it’s depressing to lose big) after paying through the nose for those tickets.
But it’s still a win in the end.
MSG was still packed 30 min after the game ended
Spurs coach is trash. They kept trying to play fastball even when they were up 20+.
I love that no one even knows his name lmao
Every time I see someone mention Mitch I assume they’re talking about Robinson
BING BOONNGG
FUCK YOUR LIFE
BANG
New York Knicks are the first team in NBA history to win Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals
big if true
Never seen a worse player in finals History than Fox all time bad
Mitch needs to be fired now. I would make him walk home
I know he wanted to save those timeouts but if he had just used one of them earlier, could’ve stopped the run.
The Darvin Ham method. New pockets in town
Salute
cavs fans’ christmas
dawg we were ass after Game 1 but yeah, this Knicks team just has the air of destiny about it
true, but most people will remember this choke job rather than cavs game 1
Mitch Johnson has the villain mask taken off Scooby-Doo style and underneath it’s just Kenny Atkinson
Horrendous second half offense from the Spurs
knicks did the impossible
I’m in Europe and basically never watch games, but during the playoffs I keep waking up subconsciously at 5 AM. Woke up today with Knicks down by 13 in the 4th and decided to watch the rest, no way I’m feeling back asleep now and I’m not even a fan.
I love basketball
If Jalen hit that three at the end, we would have had the first BANG! BANG! BANG! Instead we got, IT’S GOOD! IT’S GOOD! IT’S GOOD!
Nah that’s crazy the spurs can’t recover from this
I can only assume Air Force One officially departed from LaGuardia at halftime, lifting the curse.
Cannot stress enough how cool this is for the Knicks team and how much these Knicks fans absolutely do not deserve it with the way they’re acting. But what a crazy game. Finals MVP OG if they close out.
Yeah every Knicks fan acts like what you see on social media. Get a grip.
Sound like a lame ass nga lumping all fans together and saying they don’t deserve this.
Trump really was a curse lmao
i might have cardiac arrest before Saturday
Best finals series since 2016
I’m still having trouble getting over Fox trying to shoot a contested full sprint layup with 9 seconds left, up 1…..when he could have just held the ball, burned time and gotten fouled.
Deaaron Fox choke job lmao
Trump cursed the Knicks in the last game, but Taytay has uncursed them
Absolutely shook. Each Knicks shot just felt like going in, it was crazy. Fox with the all-time blunder. OG … no words to describe how incredible his performance was today
Wemby talking about getting in Robinson’s head , then missing 2 clutch free throws with the lack of confidence written all over his face was a nice moment
One of the greatest chokes ever
Spurs with a generational pick and generational choke job
Greatest comeback and worse choke job
That was the wildest basketball choke I’ve ever seen. Fox had the win and threw it away in the wildest way
Fox is a terrorist
Fox may have just cost the Spurs the Finals with that ridiculous possession near the end.
felt like a seahawks home game. crowd got to Wemby fosho on the free throws.
fox shouldve held the ball and mitch shouldve called a TO.
no one accounting for OG at all at any point of that final NY posession.
Jose tuff af. 2 clutch buckets down the stretch.
this might be one of the best games ive ever seen. GG
Spurs put up 76 in the first half, and then proceed to score THIRTY the whole second half. Absolutely insane choke job.
The spurs might genuinely have been better off running out the clock on every possession in the 4th vs whatever they just did. Stunning collapse.
True, thats why having a go to closer is so important. Knicks have one and the Spurs don’t.
Wemby isn’t a closer and Fox proved he’s not either.
Spurs could benefit from having someone like KD, Kawhi or Giannis. Someone that is going to be a mismatch no matter what and be able to get themselves easy buckets.
Team of Destiny
mitch could have called a timeout… when fox made that boneheaded decision to go for that layup
Chuck calling it the dumbest basketball he’s seen.
This shit is as bad as the Warriors choking the 3-1 lead but they at least won 3 rings afterwards
Will the Spurs choke this series away and be able to pull off at least a championship within 2-3 years to justify this fuck up?
Idk, but wow. Fox is insane. 5 seconds left and instead of holding the ball so the Knicks foul, he forces a layup AND MISSES????
Missed free throws. No crucial rebounds. Just wtf blowing a 20+ lead with 9 minutes left.
I was jumping outta my seat this game ngl
Anything is possible!!!
just add it to the list of records this postseason. I was posting all game thread to chill, anything is possible in the NBA, especially when the other team starts 3 chucking.
Immaculate.
Glad Wembys who is finally getting checked. Dude no showed the entire second half and now gets to claim the biggest single game choke job in Finals history.
In order for the greatest comeback you must also have the worst choke job. Can’t have one without the other. What an ending.
It wasn’t like the Knicks were shooting lights out either. They even made some horrible mistakes down the stretch. But the Spurs only putting 30 in the 2nd half is the culprit. They choked this hard.
send fox to the phantom zone
*Love* that Danhausen.
The Wu-Tang clan strikes again.
FBI needs a warrant issued stat for Fox financial records he’s suspect
I think we all know why Danhausen’s powers failed in the last game and why they kicked back in in this game.
Such a pathetic effort from the Spurs
How many big comebacks did the Pacers have last year?
Yea Knicks fans burning down Staten Island TONIGHT
On the bright side Knicks fans won’t try to kill anyone tn hopefully
