Series Thread: NBA Finals: 2) San Antonio Spurs vs 3) New York Knicks

[bksballer89]

As I said for weeks now, I love this matchup for the Knicks.

Knicks in 6

 

[DJ "I'm blessed" Fieri]

Knicks in 6. Maybe 7.

They have more postseason experience.

 

[bksballer89]

Postseason experience means very little at this time.

Spurs would have been eliminated by round 2 if experienced mattered

 

[Pastafazul]

Epic matchup


Lotsa similarities

With the exception of Gumby Dammit


If he could handle all the pressure, he’ll put on a show of a lifetime

Knicks do have the PS experience

Knicks good road team


Whoever wins deserves it!

New York has to be absolutely lit about the Knicks making the Finals.

Spurs in 6 if Wemby lasts that long … Knicks are smart enough to go for the fouls

 

[msgkings322]

Polymarket has the Spurs at 64% chance and the Vegas odds opened at 68%. I agree it’s in that range, Spurs in 6 (maybe 7) is my pick but rooting for the Knicks who can easily win 36% is not that unlikely

Spurs in 6.
Could go either way pretty easily
Just hoping for great games and performances.

Jalen Brunson won’t let you down

Jalen Brunson won’t let you down

He’s the reason I’m quietly rooting for the Knicks. Wouldn’t mind seeing Cuban’s nose rubbed into it a little more.

I think the Spurs will take it, but will be a competitive series.

KAT/Wemby matchup is likely to be the deciding factor. KAT has been the Knicks best player through their playoff run.

If KAT can go at Wemby and use his strength to get easy buckets and put fouls on Wemby, Knicks will have the upper hand.

If Wemby dominates the matchup, I expect the Spurs to do the same.

Are we going to be hearing about all the flopping both teams do?

Nope.

But if the Knicks win you can bet people will be talking about it next season!

It took some extenuating circumstances with the Thunder for it not to matter, plus an alien obviously.

Wemby won't guard Kat most likely

Even in the losses, i never looked at it as wow the spurs look like a team lacking playoffs experience.

The moment never felt too big for them

Maybe not.

Wemby on Hart?

 

[bksballer89]

Maybe not.

Wemby on Hart?

I would assume so which would be a mistake because Hart can do what Caruso did and a lot more off the ball
