I forgot Brunson was in Dallas. That’s good work by them not resigning him and also trading Luka*

Hard for me to forget. That Dallas team ended the suns short run from 20-22.

James Dolan does not deserve this but congrats to the rest of the Knicks*

Yeah, Brunson is a dude. Easy team to root for considering they are the knicks*

Though this is coming from someone who doesn't watch the NBA until the finals*

Illinois high school state title, 2 NCAA titles, 1 NBA title. Best player on all 5 teams*

His resume is insane. And seems like a solid good dude. *

Just a bunch of dudes coming up short all over the floor for SA*

Seemed like nobody wanted to be out there other than harper. weird*
Posted by gvibes

They are young but they need to evaluate the HC situation. He was terrible
Posted by bjl63
|
agreed. he looked totally overmatched.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Maybe. They had a bunch of dudes just missing shots, failing all around. Not sure how much
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Shot selection was horrendous. Played very stupid basketball*

lol at not calling that*

I would say amazing, but it’s not anymore.*

Man’s board to seal the deal *

Credit where it’s due, the Knicks starting five is tough as hell. *
Posted by illini
|
wemby has really spit the bit in this series.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
He needs strength. Too weak*
Posted by bjl63
|
lol that fucking dive to take KAT out of the game. Fucking joke.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Come on*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I thought the reverse angle showed it pretty well. Clearly I’m in the minority. I concede,*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
That was a foul*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
KAT had a handful of his jersey*
Posted by assassin
|
Wemby is great and will win titles. But it’s just different when your star player is a big.
Posted by OB25
|
And they need an effective 2nd player with size*
Posted by illini222
|
100%. They need castle or Harper to become the perimeter alpha
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Harper seems to be trending that way. I haven’t been very impressed with Castle*
Posted by illini21
|
Not tonight, but Castle has been great much of the post-season*
Posted by bjl63
|
Castle has been beyond useless tonight. *
Posted by assassin
|
For sure. They’re still young though. I don’t think I’d overreact*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
They don’t let him touch that ball. Hes their best player tonight*
Posted by bjl63
|
These Spurs shots are abhorrent. *
Posted by illini
|
Harper has been their best player and he doesn’t even get a touch*
Posted by bjl63
|
I can’t remember a team ever gagging game after g game in the NBA Finals quite like the Spurs.
Posted by Ron McDon
|
their coaching has been beyond bad.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Is Fox on the take?*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Just too dumb to understand he’s being given that shot because he sucks. *
Posted by assassin
|
Brunson getting the calls now*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Also, 43 of 86 is bonkers*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Deaaron Fox is absolutely brutal*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
yet they keep running everything through him. brutal.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
That Brunson move was so damn cool and crafty
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Idk how he does it. Dude is an absolute gamer*
Posted by illini21
|
Knicks are winning this game*
Posted by bjl63
|
Not with this outside shooting.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
They’re closers. SA are not*
Posted by bjl63
|
Knicks bench has been horrendous tonight.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
lol at no change in possession there.*
Posted by voiceofreason

The Knicks should send De’aron Fox a ring. So bad.*

Fran-Con meter rising for VOR*

(And to be clear, justified)*
Posted by OB25
|
VOR is on the move!*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
wtf is going on. This is terrible, complete loss of the game*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Great, the NBa is back again. Unbelievable.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
That’s a foul and then a travel? What?*
Posted by assassin
|
Would Wemby have been suspended for game 6 if they called that?*
Posted by OB25
|
Yes. He should be suspended for this one already.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
That’s a terrible missed call. Entire reason the rule exists*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Not for the NBA golden boy though.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
That exact play was a flagrant on the Knicks earlier this series. And by the guy who
Posted by voiceofreason
|
It is embarrassing that this game is on 720p.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Couldn’t agree more. And seemingly the worst possible 720p in the history of TV.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
OG’s bad close outs are giving them too many open 3s*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Eh, I know it looked similar to the last play, but Wemby acted a bit there*
Posted by gvibes
|
It’s what he does. That being said, Hart hardly got pushed either.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Fox sure plays like a guy who was raised by the Sacramento Kings organization*
Posted by OB25
|
He has questionable basketball IQ. Makes a lot of dumb plays*
Posted by ibdoc
|
Good luck with that albatross the next 4 years*
Posted by bjl63
|
This is ugly so far. Brawl ball.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Spurs D is killing em. Can they do it the whole game this time?*
Posted by assassin
|
Suffocating so far. Knicks are playing hero ball too.*

Pretty consistent with each of the first four games

I’ll throw in here too. Zero recollection.*

What a catastrophe for the Spurs. Who here knew DeAron Fox is a "clutch player of the year" award
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

On Get Up this morning they said in the second half there were 12 possessions

They couldn't miss in the first half. They're not a great shooting team so were destined to

On that last play the ball was going to loser Wemby and he was out muscled by Robinson.*

gullit strikes again*
Posted by illini21
|
no it wasn't*
Posted by VIV

wha? They engineered a wide open Oop to Castle
Posted by assassin

I believe deflected. Play design was top shelf.*
Posted by voiceofreason

congrats to you. that's an all timer. *
Posted by VIV
|
It’s been a wild ride. My other sports teams should take notes.*
Posted by voiceofreason

Yep, he was coming wide open*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
Brunson is just an ultimate player. *
Posted by harb
|
Fox cost SA the game.*
Posted by Toonces

No clue why he shot the ball. Dribble it out. Waste as much time as you can and get fouled*

Cost them two games.*

I gotta say, winning in NY has to be the best. The celebs sure but those people love ball

Nothing like having your 7’4” guy 30 feet from the hoop when you need to secure a miss
Posted by Mrap24

Didn't the loser coach have a time out to use?*

I get wanting Brunson to shoot that 38 foot 3 over that size *
Posted by RD

Then you have to have another big in there to patrol the glass
Posted by Mrap24

Wemby and Spurs coach are losers. He's got Fox running the offense at the end of every game.*
Posted by gullit
|
Insane*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss

No doubt biggest win for Knicks in 50 years right? What a fucking game*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Only way it’s not is if they win one more this series.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I kinda think no matter how you win it won’t top this. This is the game they’ll talk about
Posted by John Coctostan

It’s on par with the Willis Reed game, bigger if they finish it out*

Fox going up for that layup instead of just waiting to get fouled was disastrous*

Just a terrible basketball iq*

The whole second half was mind boggling dumb on their part

total meltdown.*

Completely inexcusable in that situation *

Shot selection very questionable*

I'd like to see Brunson fight through that first wave of attack and collapse the D. It's tough,.....
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
Hard with Wemby in there too. He recovers out so well.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
True dat*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
If these are the best officials the nba has, there’s a real problem.
Posted by Mrap24
|
Going into this series/playoffs, I didn’t realize Wemby was this much of a punk*
Posted by bjl63
|
I'm pulling for the Knicks but Wemby doesn't really bug me*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
I only casually follow the regular season
Posted by bjl63
|
I think his elbows are right about at everyone else's face for one thing so more likely to clock....
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
29 point lead. if only the refs called this one evenly…..*
Posted by bjl63
|
2 things can be true. Refs suck but knicks lost their damn minds and also sucked*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I actually like this Knicks team and Brunson in particular
Posted by bjl63
|
I mean Mitchell put an elbow in wemby’s face. Alvarado tried a single leg takedown
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Now let’s go over all of the things the Spurs have done this series without being called.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I’m not a bulls fan
Posted by John Coctostan It has nothing to do with giving up a million points and letting yourselves lose your composure.
|
Again, I never blamed tonight on the officiating. Even though it was terrible early in this game.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
The Knicks are a flagship franchise. Many would say the NBA is better when the Knicks are good*
Posted by bjl63
|
Dude, fuck off. The officiating has been criminal. Spurs win tonight no matter what, but
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Buddy the bulls are one of the worst franchises this century. It ain’t ever happening *
Posted by MC
|
LOFL. If the Bulls are ever down 29 it won’t be because of the officials
Posted by bjl63
|
Like I said, I’m here for you next time, cocksucker.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Go beat up more Spurs fans*
Posted by bjl63

Lol, lazy.*

Says the one who constantly blames officiating
Posted by bjl63

You’re like a worse meanjeans. Didn’t know that was possible*

Meh. If was I watching my team in the finals for a title they haven’t won in ages I’d be testy. Take
Posted by MC
|
I get the frustration but nothing is more irksome than blaming it all on officiating*
Posted by bjl63

This is why i try to avoid all Illinois bball game threads
Posted by illini21

Tonight is all about the Spurs shooting well
Posted by dk
|
You must have missed the part where I said the Spurs win tonight no matter what.
Posted by voiceofreason

No idea how you won two in SA when it was 8 on 5*
Posted by bjl63
|
I just told you how.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Delete.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Gotta focus your frustration at something. Refs are easy targets. Mostly bc they suck *
Posted by MC
|
Tonight the Knicks suck way more*
Posted by bjl63

Yeah I meant in general but definitely valid for tonight *
Posted by MC
|
I think you’ll both be dead by then *
Posted by assassin
|
Sad lulz*
Posted by illini21
|
Lol*
Posted by Stu
|
Just a guess but the Knicks are not down 22 because of the officials*
Posted by bjl63
|
Spurs are shooting out of their minds too*
Posted by OWWDig
|
They can't shoot and the Spurs are swinging the ball and getting wide open threes*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
Couldn't give a bleep about the Knicks but holy hell they got hosed by the refs that quarter*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
The whole series. Absurd at this point*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
The Knicks did win two road games*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
Go Wu!!*
Posted by Stu
|
Most obvious goaltend of all time. Fuck you. NBA. This is a fucking joke.*
Posted by voiceofreason

They definitely thought it was a pass *
Posted by VIV

Horrible no call*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
I don’t watch a ton of NBA these days and I certainly have no love for the knicks…
Posted by OWWDig
|
And now Wemby allowed to tip one in that is clearly on the rim. What is the point of even playing.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I 100% thought it was a pass real time. I was wrong *
Posted by gvibes

I’m so done with this rigged shit.*

Mike Brown will get fined, but good for him calling out the officiating discrepancies.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Officials lost control of the game early and never tried to regain control.
Posted by Mrap24
|
It wasn't great officiating but the players were allowed to decide the game in the 4th
Posted by RVA
|
24-8 FT discrepancy in the 2nd half isn’t just letting the players decide it.

|
Agreed*
Posted by illini21

Gotta get to 7 games... just accept that's how this is going to end up.*
Posted by uofi1998

Can’t risk Wemby getting suspended either. The golden goose.*

Careful otherwise Wemby will put one of those elbow daggers in your throat, Shaolin style.*

Or throw me down forcefully via back of the neck like he did Brunson last night.*

Awful in different ways but equally bad.*

I’d love to see the Knicks get blown out right in Fuckface’s fucking face*

Don’t give a shit about that. He doesn’t care about sports. *
Posted by VIV

Ok. I’d love to see them get blown out right in front of every other obnoxious Knicks fan’s face*
Posted by Stu
|
It’d be a real shame if they got blown out.

I mean, you guys won all of those.*

Except 94*

I hadn’t realized that the Knicks just give courtside seats to famous people.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
They pay dearly for it, but yes. You can include the filthy rich in that too.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Because they have to cheer for the Knicks?
Posted by Carl Spackler

Yeah that article isn’t correct. Quite a few of them have season tiks. The front rows are by

Mcafee ruins everything he goes to. Of course he’s there the same night trump is *

Love when an event that you don't want to go to gets cancelled. Thank you rain for no

Question for anyone that has heard or read about the schedule of events: do you know...

1. I like where Mrs. Wotcher’s head is at. 2. If it’s anything like his disaster trip to the US Open

I think what his attendance does to the fan experience for everyone else sucks.
Posted by illini
|
Even if I grant you his Knicks fandom, it’s an incredibly selfish decision.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Knicks are on a roll, don't know what could possibly throw them off at this point*
Posted by RVA
|
They've got a Grade-A distraction headed their way tonight.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Did I hear correctly that the knicks haven’t lost a game since April 23? They are extremely
Posted by Toonces
|
Arguably on the greatest heater in NBA playoff history. *
Posted by illini
|
So maybe don't foul for the hell of it just because you have one to give?
Posted by RVA
|
Yeah that made no sense at all. Both the Spurs players and head coach are probably 1-2 years away
Posted by OB25
|
That game was awesome, physical, incredibly frenetic.
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Absolutely hate that play.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
So bad*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
In the last 40 seconds, SA called 2 time outs. The resulting shots were
Posted by Mrap24
|
Yessssssssss. Keep on trying, NBA. Knicks better get some serious home cooking at MSG.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
lmao*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
You’re way overboard in this thread. It was physical both ways. Maybe more to help
Posted by John Coctostan
|
C’mon. Wemby gets treated like Jordan and the refs take KAT out of it with two horrendous
Posted by voiceofreason
|
And hart and bridges pushed wemby all over under the basket. And castle was allowed to really
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I’m with you on that wall - they took the best player out of the game (Towns)
Posted by RD
|
The idea that the NBA wouldn’t want the Knicks to win is delusional*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
The idea that they have to have a coronation for Wemby isn’t.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
You’re making a fool of yourself*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Oh no, Wemby pt2*
Posted by VIV
|
Never in basketball is that called a kick*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Yeah, Jefferson was trying too hard there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Dammit. Brunson has been off tonight.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Oh no Wemby *
Posted by illini21
|
That was on Castle to me*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Eh. He looked for the outlet immediately, wemby started dribbling, so castle started running
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Agreed. He has to be looking for the outlet there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I’m guessing Wemby has dribbled that up in similar situations this season*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Yeah, could be. I haven’t watched much of the Spurs this year.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Yep. *
Posted by VIV
|
He looks on the take*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Come on *
Posted by VIV
|
ZOMG*
Posted by VIV
|
Spurs call TO onset up a 25 footer from a 7 footer. Mercy*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Where is the foul there?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
What a 4th Q*
Posted by VIV
|
Thank god for challenges. C’mon, refs. You’ve fucked the Knicks all night.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Spurs look timid, tired and hurt. Knicks taking it to them*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
14-0 run. Now tied. *
Posted by Philo
|
Another phantom foul.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
the one where Hart rebounded Wemby's right arm? *
Posted by OrangeSox
|
No that was legit. The call on OG before that.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Ahh, yeah soft for sure*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Knicks have finally made the Spurs look young and like a team with an inexperienced coach*
Posted by OB25
|
This would be a 20 point game without the home cooking.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Spurs have no plan on offense and Wemby hasn’t been up for the fight on the other end.
Posted by OB25
|
It’s not lost on me that I’ve fallen into the hot take vortex that I just derided.*
Posted by OB25
|
Those final 4 minutes without KAT and Brunson … so impressive by NY *
Posted by RD
|
Yep, solid. Huge sequence there.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
And now a joke offensive foul on KAT. Fuck you, NBA.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
KAT leans backwards, gets a foul called. Jordan rules for Wemby.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
LETS GOOOOOOOOO!*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
In today’s embrace debate/social media hot take world, it’s funny to watch…
Posted by OB25
|
Great close to the half.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Don’t touch the hair! Embarrassing again, NBA.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Wemby walks on water, evidently. Embarrassing.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I can’t wait for this thing to get to MSG. Clown show officiating.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
The flagrant was 100% warranted*
Posted by bjl63
|
agreed. Hart knew it right away*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Call it both ways. They are fouling the shit out of the Knicks on every pressure.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Brunson should’ve drawn 3 techs by now … Harper followed him to his coaches huddle and pushed him
Posted by RD
|
The fucking officiating, my god. Let’s just keep the Spurs in this one like we did in game 1.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Who would be the modern reenactment of this?
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Ray Lewis.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Way bigger than Marshawn. Barkley or Michael Strahan come to mind when factoring in…
Posted by OB25
|
Shaq, Gronk*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Strahan is a good one*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
maybe Cena*
Posted by Sammich
|
Good call on those names*
Posted by illini21
|
I've seen very little NBA over the past few years, most of which has been recently. It seems to me..
Posted by Wotcher
|
I find it way more entertaining this way rather than just watching a shit ton of free throws*
Posted by illini21
|
The refs have been letting them play lately. I think it is in response to all the flopping
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I’m just glad they let the Knicks on the court*
Posted by snipes824
|
Won’t somebody please think of the poor disrespected New York team!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Brunson is a stone cold killer*
Posted by illini21
|
Yep. *
Posted by harb
|
He’s not Wemby but Hart’s defense and rebounding was game changing
Posted by RD
|
No doubt. Also super impressed with KAT tonight. Always thought he was kinda soft but man he battled
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Spurs in trouble.*
Posted by Toonces
|
WTF is this trash 720p feed?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
ESPN is the worst*
Posted by CWR10
|
Brunson is a dude. *
Posted by illini
|
Also this has been an excellent game. These guys are so damn good. The speed and skill
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Watching all these guys get near the paint and have 0 interest in putting the shot up is wild
