NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!

OKC played well enough to win on defense I'd say. Their ball pressure and forcing turnovers is what got them back in the game and had them on the cusp of winning. From like 5 minute mark of the 4th to maybe a few minutes into OT when it seemed they ran out of gas, their defense was dominating and even when the Spurs were scoring it was pretty ugly.

It was an offensive loss, SGA was horrible, Dort/Ajay/Hartenstein all looked like guys who may not be able to play much in this series. All important players to varying degrees. Chet looked like he couldn't do anything but hit an open 3. When Wemby is on the floor, not sure how much of that doesn't mostly continue.

Thought J Dub looked great really but no idea if his body is gonna hold up with the intensity of this series.

I don't see OKC winning the series, but I don't see them losing the next game neither, imho...

Just like Lex Luthor said on Smallville in episode Jinx:

“I don’t bet against Clark Kent.”

McMuffin doesn’t bet against Wemby.

Neither does he count him out. If any team can beat OKC in game 2, it’s the one with an alien on it!

Jason Kidd out

surprising IMO, albeit I thought what he did with Flagg was a little weird...particularly early in the season

Spurs have lost 3 times in their last 41 games when Wemby plays more than 15 mins....ie isn't injured or ejected.

gonna be a helluvan effort to beat them 4 times in their next 6. they need to give dort 1 job & 1 job only...to bait Wemby into something crazy

Lmao that is an insane stat.

These Knicks need to wake up and POUND THE BALL.

OG Anybody didn't sit on the sidelines during the 2019 legendary Raptors title only to have his pussy ass NYK teammates fumble the entire season.

Guess I'll go play golf again tomorrow so I don't have to listen to wall to wall Mavs coverage from the talking heads in DFW.

Never cared much for Kidd as a player or a coach, but in his defense I don't think it mattered who was the coach last year, the team was just bad.

Knicks are ****ed.

lol knackz

update: lol cavs

Someone tell Towns now IS NOT the time for the blatantly cheap shyte.

What a wild comeback.

Knicks would have gotten all the way home in regulation but for that absolutely moronic offensive foul by KAT.

OG CAN HANDLE THE PRESSURE

epic choke, gotta be one of the best ever

See James Harden can't win games without my fandom.

Knicks closed the game on a 44 to 11 run. Truly a collapse for the ages by the Cavs.

Brunson obviously isn't the best player in the NBA, but he may be the grittiest.

even he should've been the MVP over LOLSGA

reverse jinx worked like a charm

i texted my friend when they were down 16, "imagine they win this". I BELIEVED

lol cavs

I reckon it'll be 4-0 to the Knicks now. The active team must win the first game against the team who has been resting to have any chance IMO

So gritty he has his dad there to change his diapers

Yeah. I'm sure he would be an emotional wreck without his dad there to support him. 🙄

Harden obviously wasn't good, but Mitchell really disappeared down the stretch.
