This post struck a nerve. Let me explain. I love seeing Wemby’s emotion. It’s good for basketball. It’s a legitimate reaction. He is the face of the league for the next 20 years. But I don’t think Jalen Brunson and the Knicks would get so emotional after winning a conference final Game 7, even against the defending champs in a close game. The Knicks are fully locked in, laser focused, battle tested and on a mission. The Spurs are younger and less emotionally mature. That difference is ok, and it’s one of the storylines that makes this an intriguing Finals matchup. And one of many factors that may play a deciding role in these Finals. Keep an eye on this. If the Knicks can somehow beat Wemby, it will be in part because of their mentality. They never took their foot off the gas, never got too comfortable, never got too high or too low at any point in this playoff run. One more thing: I don’t think its a coincidence that the same Wemby who got so emotional winning the WCF also got himself suspended for elbowing Naz Reid in the throat. Brunson wants to win as badly as he does, but he has ice water in his veins.

With Wemby in the paint, I think there is a legit chance the Knicks win but Brunson won’t be Finals MVP. Could be KAT, if he can neutralize Wemby. Or a roleplayer like OG or Bridges, if they can hit their 3s and play lockdown defense.

@OG_Anunoby_Muse @_selfmade_papi Say more, I wanna know why. I love Wemby, and I totally get his emotion. But its just a fact that the Knicks are the more emotionally mature and focused team, going into these Finals. And I think that will be a huge difference maker.

@MSG_Rocking @_selfmade_papi as a knicks fan this is lame of you

How the Knicks celebrated vs. how the Spurs celebrated One team is crying like LeBron in 2016. The other knows the job ain’t finished.

Wemby had 5 fouls when this happened.

Ping Pong vs. Bing Bong

@DeputySoandSo23 @_selfmade_papi Again. Totally agree. People think I’m saying it’s unacceptable for Wemby to cry. It’s not. But you give an edge to the Knicks on focus and emotional maturity. For a team that already beat the Spurs 2/3 times this season, that means something.

@MSG_Rocking @_selfmade_papi Knicks always, but he’s 22 first playoff and made the finals what you expect? Brunson is battle tested so it a bit different

@_selfmade_papi Totally agree. But would Brunson be crying if they did that in the Conference Finals?

@MSG_Rocking Knicks fan here but they beat the thunder and the refs lol

This is gonna a metaphor for Wemby vs the Knicks

I know its not the most important thing. But I really hope the Knicks don’t wear their black unis during the Finals.

“And what a thrilling rematch this will be of this year’s NBA Cup,” said no one ever.

@KnicksMuse Totally agree. Spurs acted like they don’t need to win more. I’d be pissed if we behaved this way.

Wemby has years ahead of him and San Antonio has won enough. A series loss would be the worst sports moment of my life.

Mike Terico: “A new era has dawned: it’s Wemby’s West. The Spurs are going to the NBA Finals!” Reggie Miller: “And look at the emotion from Wemby. Unbelievable.”

Spurs with the Fuck You Slam instead of running out the clock. Terrible sportsmanship. But no team deserves it more than OKC and their flopping asses.

Goddamnit now Knicks fans gotta root against Wemby and this Spurs team

OKC fans whining about these terrible foul calls is the perfect way for the Spurs to close out this series.

OKC fans whining about all these terrible foul calls

“WE WANT WEMBY” “WE WANT BRUNSON” No one wants SGA or his floppin ass. Knicks/Spurs is the Finals we deserve.
