2026 NBA Finals Knicks vs Spurs

[Russ Smith]

Yeah this series is my first time watching Harper play. I told my wife the spurs are gonna have 2 all star starters soon. The way he moves around the floor is special. And he’s completely fearless.

Not sure what his 3pt % is but his shot looks good. Can’t believe he’s a rookie.

Yeah shot is a bit flat if anything but you clearly wouldn't say his shot is broken just has to get better. He plays bigger than he is some of those driving dunks of his are awfully impressive. He was a big deal in HS and I saw him in college against UCLA they beat us in a surprise game and it was basically him and Ace Bailey against 5 guys, I was impressed but man he's so much better than I expected

I've always liked Fox and I know he's not healthy but you can argue that after this year SA should try and move Fox to add another piece because in Castle and Harper they have their guards for the next X years so try and move Fox for another piece, either a 5 so you can play Wemby at 4, or a bigger 4 to play with him. Just turned 20 in March too.

He's what all Warriors fans hoped Podz was going to be.

... if ever there was a series that could turn all the way around, it's this one.

1. ny is more experienced, but the spurs are getting more experience each game
2. Wemby is a phenom, if he figures ny out, look out. And Towns can fall off defensively.
3. Brunson, plays Brunson ball, like Booker does Booker ball. And though Brunson is a much, much better closer, any player who plays one on one can be a detriment to his team as a good defensive team gets better at defending him in a series.
4. Towns is not a smart player. he can make costly mistakes
5. Bridges has been 2 up in a Finals before and has blown it. He doesn't have fire in his belly
6. i always felt Shamet has great form and should have been more helpful to us. But his inconsistency may resurface.
7. Fox is better than he's been. Especially at closing.

1. check
2. check
3. not yet
4. semi-check. did not play well
5. check. did his usual defensive thing but 1 for 5 in 29 minutes
6. check. 1 for 8
7. semi-check. 8 assists but did not shoot well -- but did close with that very clutch shot

Someday, someone will have to explain this all to me.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

screw these refs

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

worst officiated quarter of the series

 

[Lorenzo]

well this referee job should end all conspiracy theories about big market teams getting calls to go their way. the refs are blowing a call on almost every series now and most of it is favoring the spurs.

i stopped watching lol

 

[Phrazbit]

Jose blatantly trying to injure Wemby there.

Toss him.

 

[Lorenzo]

wemby is really dominating the Knicks now. he's also taunting and embellishing a bit. Knicks can cry about the refs, but they are horrible on offense right now.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Y’all are really complaining about the refs in a game the Knicks are down 30 and the Sours have hit 13 first half 3s?!

 

[Proximo]

The momentum has completely shifted to the spurs. It’s their series to lose now.

I seriously don’t what you are talking about. The refs did a very good job that half in my opinion.

What game are you guys watching?

The Knicks have 23 free throws to the spurs 6… Michelle and Alvarado both could have been tossed and were not.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

refs benched kat - benched bridges to start game 3 and then benched brunson to finish them off - these are tactical fouls designed to keep san antonio and the series alive - in plain sight - idc who wins the finals but i do care about the integrity of the game

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

wemby should obviously be serving a 1 game suspension after the brunson take down in game 3 and then the elbow to kat tonight but nah

 

[Hoop Head]

I did not have the Knicks fans being nuts on my bingo card.

There is video of Knicks fans call Victor W. soft b, when he’s walking out of the team hotel. Gross

The video is worse but I won’t post it because it’s vulgar

They're diet Laker fans that have been marinating in losing.

KAT benched KAT.

I’m not sure where the bad calls are. The Knicks are gagging like they always do.

If anything, the refs have kept this game mildly relevant interesting despite the Knicks leaving front open every play.

The Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin to f.... with

that was early in the game when the refs were missing calls. as the game went on and spurs started hitting all those 3's I did say that the ref decisions didn't matter.

 

[Lorenzo]

I seriously don’t what you are talking about. The refs did a very good job that half in my opinion.

I made that comment early in the game when the refs blew a goal tend, a ball in the cylinder, and an out of bounds call over a very short period. that was before the spurs took a massive lead.

I do think the fouls early in the game impacted the start for the Knicks. but the Knicks also are not playing well.

Lolwut?

Knicks FTs: 15-23 65%

Spurs FTs: 6-6 100%

I stopped watching about an hour and a half ago or about when the first quarter ended. but when I was still watching the Knicks were not at 23 free throws.
