NBA Thread 2026: There will be ballin'

Yeah I don't get why they make him do 3s on the outside. Granted he's making some of them, but still.

LOL. I didnt see any post game comments by Chuck and crew. Must had been a doozy. Maybe I'll find a clip on YT.

Wemby wasnt even hitting 3's well tonight. The final stats show he was 2/8.

Fox should have dribbled that steal out and forced the Knicks to foul. Spurs with some really dumb basketball down the stretch.
I've never seen anything like it. My wife is a Spurs fan and it's been brutal.

Just insanity and the dumbest decisions I've ever seen all across the board. Their inexperience is showing badly.

I don't think I've ever seen more pass thrown to recipients not looking for the ball. It's cost them two games now and you'd think losing one game because of it would get you to lock in. The inexperience is one thing, but Fox has had some brutal moments and he's your vet getting the most playing time. Mitch hasn't been great either (I'd pull Bryant from the rotation and let Barnes soak up those limited minutes to prevent all of Bryant's blunders). Spurs future is bright with Castle/Harper and if Wemby gets a Dirk-like post game, that will make them a juggernaut. I kind of thought they'd need to upgrade Fox going into the playoffs which is a tough task with his contract and I've wished he'd calm the team down during their doldrum periods during games, but his decision making down the stretch...geez.

Looks like it won't be this go around, but no doubt SA will be a force over the next fees years.
 
Congrats Knicks. I didnt watch the game except I knew Knicks were up by 10 or 15 early on. Then I saw Maestro's post above and clicked the game to see the score. Another NY comeback!
 
This Spurs team might be the most unclutch finals team ever. Harper picked a terrible time to hit the rookie wall, but the rest of his team weren't any better. Fox sucks and Castle was almost a complete no-show.
 
Since I barely watched the game, did Spurs do like last game?..... airing out tons of rushed 3 pt shots?

That really killed them last game. Up a ton but instead of taking a more controlled approach eating up time, they were launching long bombs like crazy giving NY the ball back fast.

congrats to NYers for this win. I know it'll make you guys even more insufferable than you already are, but you guys deserve this one.
I love my Knicks, and am beyond thrilled that they won it all... but my gf is now telling me she wants to go to the parade and it just put a damper on my night lol. There's probably no place on earth I'd rather be less than surrounded by a million Knicks fans.

yeah. I would advise against that too. way too many people there. just go to a local bar and have the same vibe without the potential trouble. the traffic along will be a nightmare I'm sure.
 
Big Body Brunson finishing with 45 points and the Finals MVP..

Perfection.

I still can't believe Brunson won a championship before Luka, lol

There's been 8 different NBA champions in the last 8 years.
Crazy.

Since when did parity come to the NBA? 😆

Lebron and Curry's GSW team aging out of their dominant periods helps and sprinkle in some Achilles injuries. There is potential for a 9th next year, but I wouldn't bet on that. I wonder who snaps the streak.

I can't believe KAT has a ring. What a travesty.
 
In-season cup and NBA cup, impressive. Magic in a bottle or are they onto something more .. Spurs lead every game by big amounts, inexperience and maybe lack of desire. New York City is going to self implode over night. Size isn't everything, but that man is going to be angry next year.

Yeah, the Knicks won everything they could get their hands on this year. Amazing.

Hopefully, this will validate the NBA Cup.

Fuck Knicks but credit where it's due. They wanted it more than Spurs so fair play to them

The Knicks were just the better team, period.
They funny thing is, the Knicks won this series 4-1 without even playing their best as a team.
It's uncanny.

What happened there? I see for days Knicks and the other guys beating up eatch other and destorying everything on social media.
Aye, there were some unstable Knick fans attacking people with Spurs jerseys and setting things on fire, unfortunately.

When you have a city as big as New York, there's bound to be a few assholes doing dumb shit.

Heck, even some OKC fans were acting crazy after they won it last year.

Sports fanaticism and alcohol are never a good mix.
