@SlamDunkSlugger Nah, Knicks are the most overrated team of recent memory. You should thank your lucky star you got away with one. You won’t even make it to ECF next year lol

@Generalshanks1 You did nothing but put letters together.
Whatever the reasons were that they lost was the reasons they weren’t as good as Knicks.
Knicks have made other teams crumble too! Those teams turned over and missed shots down stretch. Why?? Pressure and crunch time poise. Execution.
English
That narrative is annoying. NOOOOOWWW after the Knicks gentleman swept them, you say “It’s youth and inexperience of the Spurs.” That’s not giving credit to the Knicks. Don’t say, credit to the Knicks, but… BS
So why did you pick the Spurs?!?!
English
@brhodes It’s crazy how people forget how terribly inefficient Brunson was the first 4 games, like KAT and OG absolutely carried that series.
English
There's literally no one I'd rather have at the beginning of a playoff run than Brunson. Which makes him the best player in the NBA. Isn't winning the goal?
BRS@Bryce_Estelle
Jalen Brunson isn’t even a top 5 player in the league RIGHT NOW but you want me to believe he’s better than prime James harden😭 he’s great but yall are tripping

Inflation is up. Gas prices are up. Grocery costs are up.
But Jon Husted says Ohioans should simply earn more and learn to budget.
Ohioans deserve a leader who will work to bring down the cost of living and take on the rigged system.
English
@DynastyMaroon @CollinReidPS Use your eyes bro, the Knicks are a lot less discipled defensively, they probably get away with more fouls. Also another stat for you, the Spurs were the number 1 team in the league in allowing the least FTs all season. That’s literally their brand of basketball.
English
In the regular season, Spurs were 8th in free throw rate and the Knicks were 24th. So we have two options from here:
A) the league has been rigging things for the Spurs and against the Knicks all season
B) its stylistic and the Finals are playing out in kind

@DukeSchindlerTV @TheCornerThrees @buckets 2nd year Castle is already better than 2nd year Kwahi overall.
English
@TheCornerThrees @buckets Finals MVP with 3 HOF’s in front of him. There’s levels to this lol
English
@Mega25833 @WriterJesse @spurs_muse Who the fuck is that? lol you comparing Atlanta bums to the guy who just shut down the league MVP? Absolutely delusional ya’ll are.
English
@PaulHeadleyNBA He wanted to go to LA lol made a bunch of excuses to leave. It says a lot more about Kwahi’s lack of character than Spurs implacable care for their players.
English
The last superstar the Spurs had, before Wemby, left because he blamed the franchise for mismanaging his injury
Basketball BlaBlaBla@BBB8421
@PaulHeadleyNBA When have the Spurs had any major injuries in their history. You do realize Wemby takes care of himself better than almost anyone in the NBA? He's just getting started. This is the worst version you'll ever see of Wemby in the playoffs. Zero experience Wemby is nothing Long Term
English
@DevInTheLab Nah he’ll get 12 blocks on you and you just lose the will to play lol
English
I think Brunson is going to attack Wemby. I think okc didn’t attack him nearly enough and allowed Wemby to completely control the paint. In 48 mins he will eventually get in foul trouble if u fearlessly attack
English
@WriterJesse @spurs_muse Who on those rosters is as good a defender as Castle? lol little man is about to get exposed.
English
@spurs_muse Said every single fan of the Hawks, 76ers and Cavs with their "Brunson stopper"
English
@KornblumKorner Unless Hart goes full Curoso the Knicks are cooked.
English
I posted this the last time the Spurs played the Knicks.
San Antonio had Wemby guarding Josh Hart, which basically allowed Wemby to roam near the basket while daring Hart to shoot.
If the Spurs use that same matchup in the Finals, it’ll be crucial for Hart to knock down some of those open looks and force Wemby away from the rim.
Ben Kornblum@KornblumKorner
Hart has been open on so many threes already and he is so reluctant to shoot. If the Knicks want to make any noise in the playoffs he will need to start shooting those with confidence.
English
@iMdarnell_J You haven’t won shit in over 50 years and you’re not winning shit this year lol
English
@Brick_Pitino Wishful thinking lol the Knicks haven’t seen anything like the Spurs defense. They are lucky of they win one game.
English
Finals prediction
G1 knicks Start sluggish, 3Q push, spurs hold on
G2 Knicks win. it’s close but ultimately Knicks dominate 4th quarter
G3 Knicks wall to wall victory in game 3 led by OG clamping Wemby and scoring 25, leading all
G4: knicks win. tight game
G5: Knicks dominate
English
@SpikeEskin They beat mediocre Eatern Conference teams … I can’t wait for Spurs BTA to bring these delusional Knicks fans to reality
English
Knicks are just +170 to win the series. They're not some Cinderella plucky underdog. They can't just be happy to be there.
If they don't win the title the season is a failure.
English
@KevinF3394 The Knicks are a much worse team than the Thunder and they have a lot less depth and no home court advantage. It’s honestly insane how the Knicks fans believe they are this marginally great team when they didn’t even have to play the best 2 teams from the East to get here lol
English
@_leeescobedo The Knicks fans are so delusional beating a couple of teams that wouldn’t even get past 1st round in Western Conference. They are in for a rude awakening.
English
It took the Spurs 7 games to beat the Thunder, who were missing their second and fourth best players.
What do you think the Knicks are going to do to them?!?!?
English
@BrettSiegelNBA I mean they have so many FTA despite of not driving in the lane dumbass lol this surface level bullshit is why most people can’t figure out shit in life.
English
The funny thing about all the FT discourse with SGA and the Thunder is that entering Game 6 tonight, the Spurs lead the series in FT attempted:
Spurs: 121-143 from FT line
Thunder: 112-132 from FT line
Let's not act like the Thunder are up 3-2 because of fouls.
English
@JesseCrittenden Don’t believe our lying eyes? That’s a classic.
English
It’s crazy how much this narrative has grown. There is essentially ZERO analytical evidence to back up any of the negative discourse around the Thunder.
This is basically the clearest example of how much social media can amplify a toxic, untrue narrative very quickly.
ESPN Radio@ESPNRadio
"This is an officiating problem more than it is a Thunder problem." @DavidDTSS on if OKC plays unethical basketball
English
@SamHumphreys34 Their 2nd best player after Curoso was Tony Brothers tonight. They have a plenty of depth.
English
If OKC goes on to win this series, tonight will go down as one of the greatest wins in franchise history.
I don’t think “NBA Twitter” can comprehend what they just watched…
OKC, without their 2nd & 3rd options, just dominated the mighty Spurs in a crucial Game 5!
English
@RealSkipBayless This pattern is too predictable, as LeBron is out the door you need to hate on the next best player in the NBA. You’re a pathetic old man lol

SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER: BEST PLAYER ON THE PLANET. NOBODY MORE CLUTCH.
