NBA Season/Playoffs 2025-26

Truly bonkers how every time the Knicks go down 15+ they just go on a run. Happens every time. This isn't looking good for the Spurs, all that and only up 7 heading into the final quarter

Even though NY is up 3-1, this has been a brutal series to watch if you are rooting for NY. San Antonio clearly the better team. Build double digit leads every game.

A mix of NY getting very lucky late in games + San Antonio giving away the series.

This Championship should be San Antonio's. They are the better team.

They said Dylan Harper is 1 of 4 rookies with consecutive 20+pts Finals games. Did they say who the other 3 are?

I presume Magic is one.

Update: Magic is not one. He did not do it. The 42pts game in the closer in Gm 6. A 28pt game in Gm 3. In the teens for the other 4 games in the Finals.

I wonder if Bill Russell and Tommy Heinsohn did it.

Update: Bill Russell did not. Tommy Heinsohn did.

What other rookie scorers were in the Finals?

[Phantom255x]

Okay Keldon Johnson has actually played pretty solid this half so far

I agree. The Spurs coach is inept, though. Doesn?t get the right guys involved in the offense. Fox and Castle shouldn?t be allowed to shoot 3s. Castle should have the ball in his hands as little as possible. Wemby should be getting a lot of touches in the post. Barnes should be playing. Harper should be getting more minutes and shot attempts.  He is a terrible coach.

[Who]

D Vassell has been terrific. Big 3 point shots. Big defensive plays. Big rebounds. Timely plays.

[Phantom255x]

This is absolutely gonna come down to the final 2 minutes again

[Phantom255x]

Yeah Castle has been awful tonight too

[Goldstar88]

Another terrible play by castle. 

[Phantom255x]

No one in that building thinks the Spurs are winning this lol, Knicks have them shook with these constant blown leads/choking

[Who]

What a stupid foul by Towns.

After a stupid shot moments earlier on the other end. Forcing a step back 3 when you have had no joy offensively all night. Terrible.

[Goldstar88]

Brunson is single-handedly  keeping the Knicks in the game. Insane

[Who]

I have no idea how NYK are in this game.

San Antonio should be coasting to a win with how badly NY have played offensively. D Harper having a huge game for them. Wemby playing well. Champagnie and D Vassell are hitting shots. Fox and Castle have struggled offensively. They should have enough from those other guys to get the win especially with NY playing so badly.

[Phantom255x]

Wemby needs to assert himself in these moments. He fills up the stat sheet but some of these games he either disappears or makes a boneheaded play at the end.

[Who]

My god! Tie game! Brunson!
