NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
Pass seemingly got deflected or that was an easy finish for Castle at the end if it was elevated
Wemby should spend his time doing cardio instead of all this Zen Buddha BS, dude gasses out every single time.
Josh Hart would have been ready to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge if the Knicks had lost. He blew a layup and completely lost track of Castle on an offensive rebound in the last four minutes.
knackz don't deserve to win this, but the spurs deserve to lose. still, the spurs could/should take it
Wow ... I didn't even watch the comeback and I'm glad I didn't. I turned it off after the 1st Quarter up 20, didn't want any part of watching any prospective comeback. Cauz I took the Spurs outcome in the series earlier tonight. Luckily at the last minute I realized, "Well if I like the Spurs in the series, I must like them tonight +2.5." And I took it.
I actually think at this point the Spurs don't want anything to do with the Garden, gonna be psyched out. So I'll take each of the next two games to be one-sided covers for the home team.
I didn't even see the series of mistakes but it sounds pretty flippin awful.
That bucket by OG was insanely difficult. Great touch.
As far as Fox going for the lay up, it’s probably not that bad in a vacuum, especially up only 1. Take the theoretically highest chance at being up 3 over burning a couple of more seconds. But if you’re going to do it, you better ****ing make sure to make it or take a foul. He went up so weak and OG had any easy block.
No way man.
Being up 2 >>>> being up 1. Fox is a 75% shooter so that’s like a 55% they’re up 3, and a 94% chance they’re up at least 2. Plus there’s a chance Knicks panic and can’t foul fast enough. Plus the chance you miss the 2nd FT and get the board. Plus you force their last TO no matter what and can set your D, while if you miss it’s a scramble drill with your whole team running the wrong way.
If it was really wide open, then maybe. With literally their best defender on your ass one step behind it’s really really dumb.
took Brunson MVP -140, as great as OG has been i don't see him winning
some of these awards can get crazy with only 9 people voting but that is recency bias off the gamewinner imo
brunson is winning if they win
Or will the Spurs have the mentality "we're done now" in Game 5? I definitely think they'll have it in a prospective Game 6.
Wemby should spend his time doing cardio instead of all this Zen Buddha BS, dude gasses out every single time.
this offseason he also did high intensity basketball cardio training combined with blitz chess.

unless OG has an amazing finish to the series and knicks win while brunson is underwhelming, will he win mvp.
the voters would def look to give it to brunson.
series isnt over. win 1 game, then win another, then win another. Really helps spurs that a hypothetical G7 would be in SA -- plus lol refs factor.
WOW!!! The magic about sports, is when you get to see a 0.1% runner-runner perfect bad beat materialize itself, it looks like a fracking miracle!!!
Knicks gave up:
41 points in 1st Qtr
35 points in 2nd Qtr
30 points in 2nd Half !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Le Grand Facteur.
Biggest choker in sports history. The worst of the Utah Jazz condensed into one half. And Mitch makes Ty Corbin look like Rick Carlisle. Swap him with Brown and the Spurs sweep.
But the Spurs will do exactly what the Jazz did and cling to Pop & Tim’s ghosts. But Frenchy will force their hand sooner than later.
Flagg certainly the biggest longterm winner tonight.
LOL Chet too.
Spurs coach needed to call a timeout much earlier than he did in 4th Q. The team was floundering out there.
League: There will be a rule. 6 fouls and you are out of the game.
Coach: Ok, maybe our best guy has 2 fouls. Lets mess up the whole game plan and end up down 29.
maybe best Guy: ends the game with 4 fouls,
Team: wins.
Coach: Profit
The play by Fox was ridiculous IMO. Pull that ball back and they have to foul you. Less time on the clock. 2 free throws. Isn't this well known end game? He should probably score if its an absolute gimme. Not this. It didn't look like an easy basket at that point at all.
NYC will always be dogpoop, but at least it’ll never be Philadelphia.
yeah OG already had tons of blocks on castle/harper at the rim in this series as well, know youre opponent
he definitely choked that
some nerves out there late between him, hart, wemby for sure
game 5 i think SA either wins by 10+ for real or loses close again, extra day rest helps the knicks a bit I think. Need a few days to recoup after such a massive win like that.
