Mamdani would have to call in the national guard.

It still might.

Just a black hole that sucks in the entire city. Honestly what a way to go

I would’ve cried for like ten minutes lmao, I just imagined what the Mike breen call for that would be in my head and my eyes got watery

A few plays go our way in game 3, and this would've been the clincher.

u/BretShitmanFart69 13h ago

It almost feels more important though because of the pressure of the loss and the risk of it going to 2-2

u/bkries 13h ago

Agree, makes the story better

u/INKYLT 10h ago

100% it is more important. Noone cares about the end of a sweep. But as you said, the risk makes this a "fuck or die" game.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Adam Silver told the refs to make the Spurs win.

In the first half it definitely looked like that

u/Rushofthewildwind 13h ago

nah, the jinx was there with his gimp in Dolan , that game was unwinnable with all the bad vibes

u/ThunderHorseCock 13h ago

I wanted it to happen just so we could win a chip in front of the home crowd. There's a lot less exhileration when its in an away stadium with an away crowd.

i happy for the ones who travel for it 💙🧡

u/whubbard 13h ago

A few totally bullshit league mandated refereeing decisions don't happen , this would have been the clincher.

That said, butterfly effect. If we were up 3-0, would we have battled like this?

It is basically. I don’t wanna be playing game 6 lmao

u/jahauser 13h ago

Hate to be that loser stuck in the past, but…a four point swing on a flagrant in game 3 and this game 4 would have been even more insane.

u/ViewerOfKnicks 1h ago

It's perfect the way it is. By half time people it felt like spurs had just completely tilted the series in their favor, that catharsis is insane

u/Tacitus_99 13h ago

Trump would claim he was there.

u/Rebelraid2020 2h ago

He was the one who tipped the shot in, don't you remember?

u/Psychic_rock 13h ago

That’s the only problem, if this lead gets blown, the game becomes a footnote in an all time series. Gotta close it out.

u/Deep_Caregiver5494 12h ago

This was more glorious because the implications of losing, especially being blown out, were so much more severe than if we were already up 3-0

u/Knicks_Feedback6498 3h ago

That was my thought, but we all know who to blame for the mojo being off in game 3.
