Knicks are immune to ref fuckery and extender activity.
Knicks in đź‘‹
I think Spurs put a complete game together tonight but Im biased.
Wemby gonna throw some elbows tonight
World Cup and nba finals is peak
Big game coming for The Extender tonight
Are the Extendables reffing this game?
You know it
I’d say most fans want more of this finals, and there’s certainly financial motivation for the league to extend the $eries.
Ignore the 5.5 point spread, Spurs win by 1-2 pts.
Seriously though the NYPD and whatever private security the city can get should be on standby for each of these games with tear gas and everything.
My biggest fear is that someone dies, which has happened in other cities in riots. They need to 100% prepare for the worst, because NYC has too many damn people.
Stuck between wanting Knicks to win for the Knicks faithful and the team to get there’s, and wanting them to lose because their street fans are obnoxious maniacs.
Also wanting the spurs to win because their fans are so chill, but also wanting them to lose because I cant stand wemby.
There are millions of Knicks fans. Although we are very passionate, 99% of us are not violent psychos
I loved the batshit crazy street interviews Knicks fans gave after a win, I think its hilarious but then I started seeing opposing fans bloodied and their jerseys torn and it just came to be too much. My son loves the Knicks and wants to a see a game at MSG but I dont think I can take him to one, especially not in our Nuggets gear lol
agree with the obnoxious maniacs… but i guess there are a lot of people i am huge fans of, who have been dying for the knicks to succeed for 50 years… so i’m torn lol
i see the maniacs and think, fuck this. but then i see larry david and jon stewart and jerry seinfeld and…. basically 50% of all the people on TV screaming for the knicks and think, well, let them have it as a favor for what they’ve done for me lol
but then again nyc feels like a city that has everything, so still torn lol
I just cant stand Wemby. He gives me a feeling that hes faking his whole approach to media and public persona. I know that guy goes home and throws that book onto his bed just to stay up late and get on the Spurs fb and read comments all night… I just cant prove it
I think you’re too deep into it man. Nothing like that has even crossed my mind lol I am not really aware of his media presence at this point. For me, everybody else talks about him and puts him in the media, more than he inserts himself there
same spurs fan that put a kid into a coma?
Not sure what youre referencing. The teenager im aware of, was a 17 year old Spurs fan beaten outside of MSG by Knicks fans.
I’m not sure what you’re referencing either. Are you talking about the “drill rapper” that got curb stomped with everyone on r/NBA quickly and erroneously labeling him a Spurs fan? Or the clout chasing content creators dressed as refs, pretending to be Spurs fans yelling “Spurs in 7” purposefully for content?
Lots of idiots on the streets and in videos. And lots of misinformation out there.
the kid was a Knicks fan. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/mHUTR2w9Je
Between a chance at a Knicks win and the 24h of Le Mans today I might not get a wink of sleep lol
Lots of basketball to play still though.
If KAT can stay out of foul trouble I think the Knicks get off to a hotter start. Before the first 2 last game, Brunson came out immediately looking to feed KAT. Knicks made the adjustment from game 3, but foul trouble immediately threw a wet blanket on that.
People keep saying “The Knicks still aren’t playing at their best yet.” and I’m skeptical after four games where they have yet to blow out the Spurs defense.
Feel like tonight is going to be another close game. And if the Spurs pull off the win, it’s a whole new series.
I haven’t seen anyone say this
Great cope.
Such a freeing feeling to know you don’t have to watch the Spurs sell and can just go to sleep
Series could have easily been 3-1 in Spurs favor, how do you comeback from that? Especially after being humiliated game 4.
Game 2 was ref ball heavily in favor of the Spurs. That was the only reason it was close. Game 3 had crucial missed calls against the Knicks (two missed flagrants) that could have swayed the outcome. Game 4 started with two quick fouls on Kat, allowing the Spurs to make a run + they shot out of their minds. Second half was a combination of the Knicks playing well and a Spurs choke job. I only consider game 4 a game Spurs should have won.
That’s why this series has felt so weird for me and I can’t say NYK has won it all until they have won it all.
By being young and not knowing better. They have experienced almost everything high and low of a playoff series so why not a 3-1 comeback
can we go back to the analog scoreboard we had before for the last game(s)? This one glitches constantly
True had to just rely on google score board than this fancy scoreboard because it times out so much.
Mods don’t care what people think here, you must be new. No one likes these new scoreboard because they never work
new reddit is trash, people who like it have to have something wrong with them lol i assume their first time on the internet was facebook
Random one for today: it’s the 7th anniversary of the Raptors’ only title. Anunoby was a rookie on that team. Tonight he’s a win away from another ring and potentially the MVP, with the Knicks. Toronto traded him in 2024. Wild timing either way this goes tonight.
That was OG’s second year in the league
Fair, my bad. He was actually in his second year and didn’t play a single playoff game that run (appendectomy) but still got the ring. Either way, tonight’s the actual redemption arc.
LGK
You know who should be there tonight? The entire Thunder team, Dillon against the Lakers style
Big game for the Spurs!
On my way to SA for the game tonight. I hope it’s not a Knicks fan takeover like they’re saying 🥲
You gotta fight them
Spurs Winning next 3. 🏆
After this one? Sure thing!
Really want the spurs to win, but would be cool to see the Knicks win. I’m almost 30 and my father was 2 the last time they won. Happy regardless of who wins tonight
Scotty doesn’t know
You know I think Spurs might have to win tonight
The Spurs are still young, and youth brings both advantages and weaknesses
Scotty end this tonight please i have enough traffic in the city with the world cup! Knicks in 5!
All this talk about “The Extender” is tiring. We won G1 and won at least two games where our biggest advantage, KAT, was in crucial foul trouble.
I ain’t worried about nothing.
Knicks in 5
Like Foster has probably been the best ref this series
Probably better for NYC if Knicks win it away. Lol
I want them to win tonight, but I also know if they come back Tuesday I’m going to msg and it’s not gonna be pretty (I’m just gonna watch the riot)
I just want to know if NY can handle Knick fans and Brazil/ Moroccan fans.
Brazil / Morocco is nothing. The Puerto Rican day parade is tomorrow. A Knicks championship and pr day parade might legit burn the city down
This needs to end tonight lmao!!
Oh shit I forgot about the PR parade oh man
We will find out in after 8 pm lol
You can’t possibly recover from a 29 point choke job.
If the Knicks don’t win this in Game 5 it would be intentional. The Knicks would like to win it in The Garden in Game 6 which would be movie like.
No team in the history of pro sports has ever been dumb enough to punt playoff games just for the chance to win at home.
If you think the Knicks are intentionally losing even a single possession you haven’t watched this series
0-0. It’s been the mindset of the team the whole run. They’re not throwing away just for a chance to win the chip at home.
Whatever happens, happens.
I’m just happy we made it to the finals, nobody realistically thought that was happening this year.
Let’s just have fun, everyone!
I’m not saying the Knicks will be happy with losing but they definitely want to win the finals in the Garden if possible.
I am ready for the toxicity to begin. Everyone’s flopping, everyone’s doing moving screens and pushing off. And by everyone, I mean everyone on the team I’m not rooting for. This is bs!!
The Great Extender is gonna be moving like 1991 MJ to bring this series to game 6
The spurs have the mental strength of a gnat. They are completely and utterly broken and will fold at the first sign of adversity tonight. Knicks will blow them out of the water by 30. Book it and don’t @me when it happens.
Cavs got swept after that Knicks 22 points comeback in the 4th, and Cavs are NOT a young team but seemed demoralized after that. Lets see how Spurs react.
analytically we’re winning the series so i’m not nervous, i’m not nervous, don’t write in the paper that i’m nervous
The Extender gonna send this series back to NY
You mean the Refs?
Yes Scott foster lol
He means Scott “the extender” Foster
Knicks lead halftime but spurs pull thru with a nail bitter
