    To be fair, the Knicks didn't shoot great. If they shot their average percentages from these playoffs, it's a blow out too...

    Game 1 looked like one of those mid to late 2000 slug fests. Tough defending, lots of missed shots. In the end, Brunson sealed the deal for the Knicks. What a clutch player.

    Spurs gotta figure out a better offensive game plan. You can't let Wemby chuck like 9 threes (KAT did a great job today) and bench Harper when he was playing well.

    Fun start to the series and nice to watch something other than OKC basketball.

    I don't think this is over yet, not by a long shot. Wemby is going to give it his all this series. What it does show is how young and undeveloped the rest of the guys are. Castle, Harper and Vassell are good, but in 1-2 more years of experience, they're going to be just too tough.

    Also Spurs aren't as deep as everyone said. They're mainly running 6 guys with spot minutes for Kornet and Keldon Johnson.

    Wemby can’t stay with Towns.


    this is the kind of loss that will make Wemby come to the Los Angeles Lakers to play with Luka.

    Luka can win this game for Wemby we’ll have Adou Thiero and Reaves and Hachiumura. Wait for Wemby

    just like Shaq all over again with Orlando. Dylan Harper is Penny.

    The spurs have good players they don’t have great players. We have a great player.

    Jalen Brunson is cold.

    Jalen Brunson is a clutch champion player. You gotta have clutch champion players. I see it. The Knicks have it.

    I don’t know about the other guys but the Knicks have Brunson and he’s thier Curry.

    Knicks got this. They got Brunson. This is Knicks. Like yall say Basketball is matchups. And the Knicks are a bad Matchup.

    The Spurs had an answer for Shai for some reason they just don’t have an answer for Brunson.

    wemby didn't get punked - he had a terrific 4th quarter. Too bad for SAS no other Spur showed up.

    Typical Finals game between two good teams - a lot of sphincters got tight and people started bricking open shots, I mean did anyone think Barnes of all people would finally hit a critical 3 in the finals??. When wemby got going going NY, including Brunson, couldn't score till they got Brunson an open look, ironically off him tapping an offensive rebound to a teammate.

    should be a fun series but the Knicks are basically like kyrpotonite for the spurs even with Wemby finishing strong Knicks between OG, Robinson, and KAT have a team that can counter him with a lot of different looks

    I’d be shopping Fox.

    Fox for Durant

    or Fox for Baine.

    San Antonio needs a shooter.

    But Fox will be the reason Wemby leaves San Antonio.

    They have no perimeter shooting. It’s a reason we could’ve beat them.

    No perimeter shooting.

    They are going to have to lean on Harper and Champagne.

    You wanna win a championship with Harper or do you want to lose a championship making Fox happy. Johnson is going to be the reason San Antonio loses. The coaches decisions.

    Not comparing them disclaimer not comparing him.

    but it’s a Kobe Dylan Harper

    Fox Nick Van Excel

    you gotta be a Jerry West and trade Fox.

    they over did it brining Fox in I know they didn’t have Harper but now that you have Harper your stunting his growth with Fox.

    would make sense trading him.

    You have to let Harper be the star that he is. This is the series to do it.

    Wembys a guy you gotta force feed to me. The spurs best lineups involve Harper you gotta use that guy.

    His game is so polished. It’s gotta be Harper and Wemby to take you to the podium for that championship.
