So, are the Spurs cooked? Is there any way they can come back from losing both of their home games like that?

Really happy for Mikal. Will be amazing if he gets a ring.

Wow

Who is this guy ??



Adrenaline and Emotion on

Anybody else recognize Wemby's last shot?

I was curious about this and found a reddit thread on it. No team has ever come back from losing the first 2 games at home in the Finals. Multiple teams have come back from 0-2, but only if the first 2 games were on the road for them. (Last occurrence: the 2021 Milwaukee Bucks. Oooooof)

Something ridiculous would have to happen in order for the Spurs to come back - like some epic Knicks meltdown or Wemby going God Mode.

I never would have guessed the Knicks would be up 2-0.

Apparently experience means something.

Nobody? It was the same shot he hit in San Antonio to beat us by one earlier this season.

I can barely remember what I ate yesterday...

I have Direct TV. Set it to record. It said NBA Finals. Go to watch it. Blacked out. No agreement. Same on next game. Went to the sports mix channel showing all the current sports on and one of the 8 screens was the finals playing complete with sound. Click on that and it goes to the blacked out channel. Was able to watch most of the game on the small pixelated screen. So annoying.

DirectTV? You're living in the dark ages, my man. I know as I had it for 25+ years. Finally switched to YouTubeTV streaming after moving to Arizona. I watched a nice, high def ESPN broadcast on my HDTV. I'm set to record all available NBA games. I have been all season. Don't have to set up individual recordings.

That and an OTA antenna and digital recorder for regular season Suns games and Jeopardy.

So happy to see Mikal getting recognition. IMO he's the best role player in the NBA, and still my favorite guy to root for.

Can't ask for a more entertaining finals than this.

I am definitely rooting for the Spurs tonight because I think a sweep would be boring. But yeah every game has been great.

Another very entertaining game. Wemby finally Wembyd,

Castle stepped up, as he has been doing. This playoffs has been a real eye-opener for the league. We knew Castle was good, but now he has solidified himself in my mind as he 2nd best player on the Spurs. All of his shooting #s are better than ever, and his defense has been very good.

On the Knicks side, Mikal had maybe his worst game of the playoffs on both sides of the floor (but was still +11). Shamet was also a big 0 for the Knicks. But worst of all was Mitch Robinson getting burned in his minutes. Seemed like the Spurs got anything they wanted at the basket for most of the night, and Robinson especially was a liability where he should be at his best.

One thing the Knicks did really well was encouraging the worst shooting Spurs to take jumpers. Devin Vassell was cooking early, then he didn't touch the ball again for a long time while Fox and Harper bricked 3 after 3. The Knicks are just so good at dictating opponents' offence, and the Spurs inexperience played into that as well. Ultimately, it didn't matter.

Did y'all notice the Spurs closed out the game with Fox-Castle-Harper-Vassell-Wemby? That's actually a smaller lineup than the Suns with one minor exception.
