@_k_3424 IN SHAMBLEES

Nice to know it's not just Knicks fans who are insecure and thinking about the Nets - ITS THE PLAYERS ALSO

@MJBJAX0723 @SbondyNBA It's one game, relax.

@SbondyNBA They are being dominated in every aspect of the game. Spurs are so much better than the Knicks it’s a miracle it’s 3-1

Refs are letting them play through all marginal contact and the Knicks aren't responding well. They are shooting. ...16% Spurs 28, Knicks 13.

@DylanBackerESM Actually a lot worse than last game.

This is about as stunning of a start I’ve ever seen the Knicks have.

@DylanBackerESM Awful defensively as well. The Spurs just didn't hit open 3s. Need to be a lot better going forward.

The Knicks are EXTREMELY fortunate to only be down 8. Awful awful offensive quarter.

@smoothington @hiimrye_ @nomynameisjus @7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook McBride wasn't a regular rotational player when he signed that deal.

@hiimrye_ @nomynameisjus @7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook The one who comes off as selfish is Lin. He admits he needed this payday. McBride took 4/$16mil in today’s NBA cause he wanted to be a Knick

Melo wanted Jeremy Lin to stay ... but the contract the Rockets offered would've hurt the Knicks 😳 @FDSportsbook Melo: "Did he deserve the match, yes ... what was ridiculous was the jump." Lin: "My exit from the New York Knicks crushed me ... I would've done anything to stay."

@hiimrye_ @smoothington @keepwalkingfast @7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook Felton and Lin literally averaged very similar numbers in that 12-13 season.

@smoothington @keepwalkingfast @7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook Nah you just retarded. JLin, JR Smith, Melo, Amare, Tyson Chandler, JKidd, Raymond Felton, Iman, Steve Novak.. doesn’t sound like a bad team in 2013. Maybe if they would’ve kept him they wouldn’t have lost to the Pacers since Melo clearly can’t carry it by himself

@TheViewUpHere26 @7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook Lin's streak was over way before Woodson took over.

@7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook As soon as Mike Woodson took over for D'Antoni, and switched the Knicks from a PG-based offense to a mel-ISO ball offense, Linsanity was over, in New York. Woodson was gonna make sure Linsanity was dead. They got Fatso Felton, instead, and the rest is history....

@didntlai @7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook What? They actually did bring in quality vets that offseason and went to have their best season in 13 years. Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd, Ronnie Brewer, Kenyon Martin, Rasheed Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby, Chris Copeland. All of them were brought in, plus Novak and MLE

@7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook Everyone here acting like the Rocket’s contract was a super max. Knicks could easily pay it the entire contract the first year. Melo acting like the contract would hurt the team because they couldn’t sign anyone in the future. Who did the Knicks bring in after Lin? Nobody

@Kwaylasoul @eeanalmonte @TheDunkCentral Not really. Potentially kills the spacing and the defense in other ways besides guarding Victor. Who is KAT supposed to guard in that scenario?

@eeanalmonte @TheDunkCentral Lowkey the double big line up is a major xfactor

“Everybody knows we're gonna do it.” - Victor Wembanyama on the Spurs potentially completing a 3-1 comeback

@DeenG797916 @jma025_ @danruiz09 @_alba__ Why exactly didn't they have business winning game 1? Because Spurs had a 14-point lead in 3rd quarter? You do know how insignificant 'teens leads are in today's NBA, especially with that much time left?

@jma025_ @danruiz09 @_alba__ "At worst should be 3-1" which means knicks win gm 2. They had no business winning any of the other games.

Through four games, I can confidently say two things: First, the Spurs are technically a better basketball team by a small margin. Second, the Spurs are the dumber team by an astronomical margin.

@ISAAC4O8 @DragonflyJonez "Just win 5" lol... as if they won't have any pressure to win it.

@DragonflyJonez I think so too lol. Just win 5 and shift all the pressure to the Knicks. And hope Jalen tries to chase the FMVP and messes up their offense lol.

I still think there’s a path for SA here tho. Game 5 at home is extremely winnable and I think they win it. Then they’re in a spot where they know that if they win at MSG they’re back home for one game for all the marbles. I really don’t think they’re dead yet.

@Huz207 @DragonflyJonez Having 14-15 point leads in instances isn't being in control of the game. They controlled G3 and G4.

@DragonflyJonez Path is there however they need to take it one at a time and reduce De Aaron fox minutes, they’ve been in control every game and threw it away every time

@EviljSrk @JONDOEONLY1 @DragonflyJonez They didn't choke game 2. If anything, Knicks almost choked game 2.

@JONDOEONLY1 @DragonflyJonez Or they choke game 5 like they choked game 4 like they choked game 2.

@QuanB_QB @thenicestMC @DragonflyJonez Knicks shot 55% from the 3pt line, with Brunson hitting shots over a 7'4 guy. That is NOT called "capitalizing off of the bad mistakes".

@thenicestMC @DragonflyJonez Well tbh it’s not like the Knicks have constructed a crazy defensive or offensive scheme that has rattled the Spurs. It’s really them just capitalizing off of the bad mistakes by SAS. A lot of the dumb stuff SAS did was unforced

@_lm277 @gamboujeee @TylerMassey2K @DragonflyJonez Did you seriously just disregard Magic actually losing a key player when Pistons started winning lol

@gamboujeee @TylerMassey2K @DragonflyJonez Not saying it’s easy at all but I’m saying the spurs have what most teams down 3-1 don’t have. Two games at home and the belief that they’re aren’t a much worse team than their opponent. I felt the exact same way about the pistons 3-1 comeback vs magic in the first round.

@drewbaccaFL23 @DragonflyJonez So was for the Knicks lol

@DragonflyJonez It’s all been winnable tho. Literally every game.

@stuffsports1 @DragonflyJonez Lol what team did talk like it's over, I'm genuinely curious?

@DragonflyJonez They aren’t talking like it’s over so that’s a good sign and honestly like they’ve said they had moments in every game so far where they had the Knicks on the ropes they just haven’t finished games. Young team and young coach having first time problems they have to solve

@jerrmiie @thatfiya19 @wstgoat7 @DragonflyJonez They've been dominant for one game (G4) and led wire-to-wire in G3. That's it. The double-digit leads in G1 and G2 literally mean nothing, since both the Knicks and Spurs had them and blew them.

@thatfiya19 @wstgoat7 @DragonflyJonez They ain't Spurs much more dominant in 3 out of the 4 games played

@jackcuz5 @wstgoat7 @DragonflyJonez You do know a 15-point-ish lead in today's NBA is literally nothing? Aaaah, but you root for Detroit, that explains everything.

@wstgoat7 @DragonflyJonez 2 of 3 at home, the Spurs have been the better team all series, they just blow leads. If they win game 5, just hold onto a lead on the road and you are back home for game 7

@_k_3424 Yeah, I didn't expect you'd mention them acknowledging the INC on Victor's defensive 3 seconds in L2MR as well.

I don't wanna hear it Knicks fans
