@BrettSiegelNBA @CeeDraco4 The team that was up 14 midway through the fourth should have lost. Hilarious.

@CeeDraco4 If they don't turn it over in Game 2, they win, but okay.

I don't understand this lmaooo, like I really don't
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
@slashbrofc They realistically should be up 3-1 right now, and they had a real chance to win Game 1 but collapsed late.
English
@Andrewjbe @SiteNYK No it’s stupid turnovers and threes early in the shot clock
English
U have straight amnesia. Spurs were never in real control Game 1 and Game 2
Knicks are a slower/older team that relies on slower tempo and saving energy to start a game. They play a physical, grind it out style that wears teams down as the game goes on
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
I won't believe it until I see it... But the Spurs have truly controlled every game of this series so far. We will know within the first 5 minutes of tomorrow night's game if they've put Game 4 behind them, but the Spurs are still very capable of winning this thing.

@arhooptalk Dude shoots a volume of 3s that KAT should be taking, and KAT shoots 3s like wemby should be.
English
Wemby shot 34.9% from three this year & 34.2% for his career. In each of his three seasons, he has shot below the league average. He’s at 29.6% in The Finals. Nobody talks about him being an inefficient three-point shooter. Well except for me. And that’s just a basketball truth.
English
@FTFonFS1 @DannyParkins lol it was 91% somehow with only a 13 point lead midway through the third quarter game one, and Knicks were at 91% with 6 mins left..game 2 Knicks were 97% with 6 mins to go, 77% at half of game 3, what are we even talking about? Most importantly 100% after game 1,2,4.
English
“[The Spurs] were a 94% chance to win game 1. 83% in game 2. Game 4 99.6%. I’m wondering if they are being told, ‘We are the only reason we’re down 3-1.”

@djwhitegold @Crcalcat12Chris @Chris_D_Brewer I’m at the point I actually miss poker go. Set schedules, you know what’s being streamed, delays were what, an hour hour and a half?
English
@Crcalcat12Chris @Chris_D_Brewer They send the footage to Korea and it takes thatong to do whatever to send it back for stream. Wish it was an hour delay max as well.

That was a fun 30 minutes of updates I got to read. Would be fun to sweat the 100k but oh well

@Andrewjbe @MarzTalksSports @CFC_Enthusiast You know what, my bad. I apologize
I misread it
Sounded like you were talking about game 1
I gotta apologize when I’m in the wrong

he gets called a front runner and hes here saying they know theyre gonna come back. He talks his stuff regardless

@chukamorka @MarzTalksSports @CFC_Enthusiast When the fuck did I say anything about Minnesota. Dude I replied to said game 5 of wcf.. which he didn’t show up to and got a warning.He also got off showing up in Minnesota cause he elbowed a dude in a throat.
English
@Andrewjbe @MarzTalksSports @CFC_Enthusiast He got a warning in the Minnesota series to show up??
Because I’m pretty sure he showed up when they was down
What are you talking about??
English
@BrettSiegelNBA @slashbrofc How should they realistically be up 3-1? The Knicks had a 14 point 4th quarter lead game 2. If the Knicks lost that would you say well realistically they should have won that one?

“Everybody knows we're gonna do it.” - Victor Wembanyama on the Spurs potentially completing a 3-1 comeback
English
@Sandygroveboy @viscount96 100% agree. We watched what happened game 3 when they started the game with Brunson off ball.. these dudes were throwing it in the stands and picking up their dribble after 2 dribbles. Worst start of a game I’ve ever seen.
English
@Andrewjbe @viscount96 Nah dats true but ima saying overall Brunson more efficient last 4 seasons and plus Luka had another true ball handler in Kyrie Brunson don’t really have dat so it’s kind easier for spurs to get Brunson tired and press him up the court all dat reason Mikal got benched for Jose
English
No shade to brunson but luka is way more efficient
Basketball Forever@bballforever_
After his 36-point night in Game 4, Jalen Brunson is averaging 29.5 PPG in the Finals - HIGHER than Luka Doncic in 2024 🔥👀
English
@Nolimitslay Brunson is the most valuable player strictly because no one would be getting these insanely open catch and shoot threes without his gravity on the court. I have no issues with OG winning it, I think Brunsons the most valuable. These dudes can’t even dribble the ball without him.
English
@Andrewjbe It goes to the player who is having the best/biggest impact, one may be drawing more attention, but who’s playing better Brunson or OG, stats was an example, one is playing better on offense, one is playing better tremendously on defense, and imo getting cleared on offense to
English
We are not giving FMVP based off hypotheticals, fmvp is based on production, who is giving the better production, that’s who wins, just because he’s the focal point of the defense shooting below averages we don’t reward aura
AB@Andrewjbe
@glen_sather @Sheridanblog If you want to give OG mvp, no argument here. But to pretend that the spurs don’t throw the gauntlet at Brunson, which creates these open shots for guys like OG, is insane. I can’t imagine the spurs ever had a game plan revolving around shutting down OG.
English
The Knicks are 5-2 against the Spurs this year.
Jason Maples@jjmaples55
Spurs the better team but boy being Young and Dumb has kicked them in the ass this entire series yeeeesh
English
@SwipaCam @Tariq8442 He has total 11 assists, and has 5 4th quarter points in 4 games. Maybe the last few series he’s been the hub, but this series he’s a bystander.
English
Jalen Brunson has been better as of late but he’s been the 3rd best player on the Knicks during the NBA Finals wire-to-wire.
We cannot let 4th quarters turn our eyes off from the rest of the series.
The Knicks are a +48 with KAT ON the floor and a -40 when he’s OFF this series.
Their offense and defense literally CANNOT function without him.
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
Carmelo Anthony thinks Jalen Brunson deserves Finals MVP over OG Anunoby 👀 “Let’s just be honest about this. If OG win it, it be like Andre Iguodala’s at Golden State.” (via @7PMinBrooklyn / h/t @ClutchPoints )
English
@BKSecretsports They don’t even need to give credit, but like you said “we can play better. One game at a time. We still feel like we have an extra great” are only better than guaranteeing a series win down 3-1. Never gonna catch Brunson OG and KAT talking like that.
English
“We believe we can do it” would’ve been a better response. Between this & the lack of humbleness with the Spurs you can put that on the list of reasons they’re down 3-1, the arrogance is showing every interview
And I am not one of those guys who comments on stuff like this, but the Knicks deserve credit and the Spurs have yet to give that to them that’s a problem

Wemby on if the Spurs believe they can come back and win the Finals: "Everybody knows we're gonna do it."
English
@Sandygroveboy @viscount96 In the finals Luka averaged slightly over 29 points and shot a 53% TS, while going 24% from 3 and 58% from the line. It’s actually pretty damn comparable to Brunsons.
English
@viscount96 How is Luka more efficient I hope saying in the finals he wa I give u dat but overall he hasn’t been more efficient then Brunson these last 4 years
English
@NYcWhitey94 @SIChrisMannix 16% chance of coming back pretty much awesome they win 3 50/50 games, with a little extra added probability for being home in 2 of them. They’re not the better team, and Vegas has gotten the odds on this series every step of the way.
English
@Andrewjbe @SIChrisMannix Depends on your definition of "come back" ...But up 3-1 if you're only -500 Vegas is still saying The Spurs are the better team. Not that it matters nor are they right
English
So wild. And Vegas agrees with them: Spurs 5.5 point favorites going into Game 5. A reminder that three of these games have been decided by four points or less and two by a point.

@Andrewjbe @CFC_Enthusiast Why would u congratulate him for that
English
@MarzTalksSports @CFC_Enthusiast Uh, ya.. he got a warning and it’s mandated that he shows up. Congrats on him doing the bare minimum after not doing it when he lost.
English
@CFC_Enthusiast he did his media duties after game 5 of the wcf did he not? He did his media duties after every game this series did he not? he did his media duties after game 1 against the wolves did he not?
English
@NYcWhitey94 @SIChrisMannix Vegas agrees with the spurs comments that they’re gonna come back and win it and yet the Knicks are -500 to win the series. How is his point correct?
English
@Andrewjbe @SIChrisMannix A team who has lost 1 game in like 50 days is only -500 to win 1 of the next 3? His point is correct
English
@CourtsideClique @sny_knicks Just imagine a dude like Brunson saying this. Would never happen
English
@sny_knicks Arrogant little prick. He can say we all believe we can do it, but sure guarantee it. I don’t care if it means the Thunder, Lakers, or Celtics win in years to come, this prick doesn’t deserve to win anything. Dirty, cocky, and a choker
English
After his comments following the Spurs' Game 4 collapse, Victor Wembanyama was asked if he has a better sense of whether or not the Spurs believe they can pull off a 3-1 comeback in the NBA Finals:
"Yeah, absolutely. Everybody knows we're going to do it. I feel like we need to isolate that one game and take it one game at a time. I think it'd be a mistake to waste our energy on multiple games. It's one game at a time."
