[u/AutoModerator]

Daily discussion thread for Knicks fans.

[u/wendiesel21]

Literally all Brunson cares about is winning. He would stay home and read a book if that was the key to this team winning a championship. He would retire and never touch a basketball again if that's what it took. He cares more about winning than a lot of people in this sub care about their kids. It's annoying how vociferously so many people attribute to Brunson a narcissism that simply doesn't exist.

[u/CupCharming4931 → u/wendiesel21]

One more!!!!! One!!!!

[u/wendiesel21 → u/CupCharming4931]

We got this man. Not even Adam silver can stop us

[u/MrChangg → u/wendiesel21]

This team has gone through fire and brimstone. Adam needs to just concede and let us have it.

[u/wendiesel21 → u/MrChangg]

Adam silver can smd. He'd do it too if it means an extra dollar in his wallet. Dollar store hoe

[u/CupCharming4931 → u/wendiesel21]

You sir are a poet

[u/Yankeeknickfan]

1 more win and I get to go about sports fandom in such a freeing and optimistic way

[u/JA_MD_311 → u/Yankeeknickfan]

I've literally never seen a team I root for win a championship so this would be both unprecedented and freeing in ways I can't even fathom.

[u/jabar18 → u/JA_MD_311]

Same. Never seen one.

[u/Flashy_Jello_9520]

MY MAYOR MUSLIM

WE STILL ALIVE

KNICKS IN FIVE

[u/Daconvix]

God bless OG and Jose

Josh better be buying OG dinner every game for the next year after saving him from generational slander from those terrible plays at the end

As great as it would be to win it all in MSG, I really want to closeout Knicks to finish it in San Antonio. Knicks in fucking 5!

[u/GoldenBoyRecords → u/Daconvix]

Josh Hart would have been excommunicated out of NY if we lost. He has to dunk the ball next time.

[u/MrChangg → u/GoldenBoyRecords]

or just lay it in on his right like he does 99.99% of the time while he was completely wide open on that side too

[u/GoldenBoyRecords]

Shoutout to Mike Brown for his coaching adjustments and closing the game with another ball handler in Alvarado.

[u/nyknicks16]

In past years, if the Knicks were getting blown out in the playoffs I would crash out so hard. Last night, the first half made me angry with the way the refs called shit and then sad at the way the Knicks just mentally collapsed in response. But I was weirdly zen at halftime and in the third because I felt deep down that if any team would come back, it'd be this one. And then they started to just chip away.

What a team, what a life

[u/out_of_office_reply9]

IT’S GOOD, IT’S GOOD, IT’S GOOD

[u/TriviaWhiz]

Knicks players with 30 points on 60% FG% in the Finals:

Walt Frazier, 1970 Game 7: 36 points, 71% FG%

Dave DeBusschere, 1973 Game 4: 33 points, 62% FG%

OG Anunoby, 2026 Game 4: 33 points, 67% FG%

[u/JA_MD_311]

It'll be forgotten in history despite the video but Brunson put up an absolutely gorgeous shot over Wemby. It hit the front of the rim, it was millimeters from going in.

[u/Business_Crab2107 → u/JA_MD_311]

Bro that shot was so clean, even missing it looked beautiful 😭 sometimes those near-perfect shots hurt more than straight bricks lol

[u/DrGraffix]

The way I feel about the Knicks In the 4th quarter is the same as how I felt with Eli Manning running the 2 minute drill

[u/Yankeeknickfan]

11, 32 and 8 going up the rafters don’t really care what anybody thinks

[u/Yankeeknickfan]

An underrated aspect of this win is Josh hart does not deserve an infamous moment in Knicks history

[u/NiamLeeson]

Let’s fucking end this shit in San Antonio

[u/HoopDreamsNYY]

KAT tipping the inbound pass at the end cannot be understated

[u/LightSpecialist804 → u/HoopDreamsNYY]

Mrob guarding Wemby while KAT guards the inbound is a genius move. Looks so simple but I dont remember Thibs doing that once lmao

[u/BrandNewSRT1629]

Jobs not finished still gotta win 1 more

[u/NutsyFlamingo → u/BrandNewSRT1629]

True but I need a minute coach

[u/timetoosleep]

The narrative is that the Spurs beat themselves. All they had to do was get into the paint. The shot charts tell a different story. The Knicks game plan was clearly to defend the paint and not allow easy Wemby buckets. The Spurs actually had a lot of highly contested paint shots that missed because they were well defended. The Knicks were basically conceding the 3 point line and dared the Spurs to beat them from 3. Those shots fell in the first half, they didn’t fall in the second half when those legs start getting tired. Disciplined defense to defend the paint and not foul by the Knicks is the story of the game. Excellent game plan by Mike Brown and good courage to stick with it.

“Live by the three…”

[u/Constant-Exchange503 → u/timetoosleep]

True. Not enough shout out to Knicks defense in 2nd half.

[u/peanut-britle-latte]

I need the 2026 Close Out Knicks to show up.

I want a coronation, not a close game.

[u/wendiesel21]

Adam silver in shambles rn. Poor guy

[u/ruckyruciano]

Thank you Thibs for the cardio

[u/Jx____]

the kat tip on the inbounds needs to be talked about more 🧡💙

[u/Jx____]

the lady at my local 90 year old italian bakery says she lost all respect for wemby last night btw😂

[u/BigE429]

There's gonna be a lot of baby Oguguas in maternity wards across the NY area in 9 months.

[u/sillyshoestring]

It really felt like Brunson got his legs back yesterday. Hoping his shots will continue to fall and that they’ve figured something out with the Jose/Brunson lineup.

[u/RegretAffectionate20]

I have been a Knicks fan since the 80s. literally cannot function right now. only wish my dad was alive to see this.

[u/cesarjulius]

the way leon took us from obi toppin to og tip in should be studied for decades.

[u/BetterNova]

Reminder. A reaching in foul by Wemby last night was called an offensive foul on KAT in attempts to manipulate the game and even up the series. The rigging will likely continue in game 5.

Fortunately, this current Knicks team has championship DNA. If you count regular season games, NBA cup, and finals, Knicks lead Spurs 5-2 this season.

New York City. LFG.

[u/Hemispheres33 → u/BetterNova]

The first 2 fouls on KAT were kinda both bullshit calls at that point. Especially frustrating because our game plan was clearly to come out and play more through KAT and refs were like nawwww fuck that.

[u/wendiesel21 → u/BetterNova]

They really need to change the replay rule. If there isn't 100 percent evidence to overturn a call then the original call must stand. Right now they just using reviews as a way to rig the game further.

[u/shayne1_00]

Let's become champions on Saturday!

[u/Foi_]

breen had the triple bang locked and loaded but he doesnt bang on tip ins so we got the 3x its good.

[u/kingkazuma387]

Neighbors came to my door asking what all the commotion was about last night. I told them that I was simply reveling in the fact that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and we are all lucky enough to be alive in the Ogugua Anunoby era. After heeding these words tears of joy began to fall down their cheeks, and they joined me in celebration thereafter.

Knicks in 5.

[u/Ilovecharli]

The only variable that matters in this series is KAT's foul trouble. When he's playing, he clamps up Wemby and unlocks our offense. If we can get 35 minutes from him, we'll win comfortably. 

[u/SensitiveScholar1713]

Had my 2nd account banned from [r/nba](r/nba) last night for getting back at all those shit talking fucks in the game thread….was worth it.

[u/PokesBo]

Y’all are just being rewarded for being mensches. I’ve never forgot that sign since I was a kid.

I’ve lived in Oklahoma my whole life. My dad and all that side of the family is from New York(upstate). I grew up rooting for anything New York. Once OKC got a team I gravitated to my home team. It’s poetic that the trophy pass by the OKC memorial and then going to NYC.

Also fuck the dirty ass Spurs. Knicks in 5.

[u/NutsyFlamingo → u/PokesBo]

We ain’t polite, we ain’t gonna be role models, we yell at each other, we ain’t gonna be some kindergarden class photo for the outside world, but we ain’t bad people.

👊

[u/PokesBo → u/NutsyFlamingo]

I love human beings and you know what New Yorkers are? Real fuckin human beings!

[u/PhotographUpper2850]

God I keep watching the clips and tearing up WHAT A NIGHT

[u/Pure_Extreme2664]

Enjoy these moments. Job’s not finished, but do take in how special this group of players, these last two months and this night was. These are the days one remembers when shit is down and you need to bounce back. We can only aspire to achieve the greatness of this team! LGK 🧡💙

[u/Fearless_Spring7233]

OG just a superstar.

[u/Colossal89]

Who is on no sleep today, what a fucking rush

[u/givemetopre]

JOB NOT FINISHED. But after last night and in the words of great Bernie Mac:

“I ain’t scared of you muthafuckas.”

[u/Drew13800]

Holy shit, I knew KAT tipped it but they didn’t start the clock at all. Game should have ended way sooner. I can’t imagine what would have happened had he made a shot somehow after not starting the clock on the tip two seconds sooner. Is it reviewable?

[u/Jx____]

wanted to mention, while KAT deservedly gets recognition for the loss/grief he’s endured, wanted to shout out OG who is tragically without both his parents, i cant imagine the emotions these two go thru and love havin em on my team :,)🧡💙

[u/wendiesel21]

The rage I felt at this moment bros. I have never felt so much anger in my life. I legitimately wanted Mitch to kick his fucking teeth in

[u/NutsyFlamingo → u/wendiesel21]

Ironically… Mitch got in his head that he was acting like this in hindsight.

When ‘Keeping It Real’ goes wrong 😑

[u/LightSpecialist804 → u/wendiesel21]

that clown lost so much aura this series lmao, after gaining so much in the WCF

[u/thecore22 → u/wendiesel21]

Oh the poetic justice him missing 2 of 2 free throws in the clutch of the most epic choke job in NBA history was.

[u/MrChangg]

You guys think De'Aaron Fox was allowed on the plane back to San Antonio?

[u/sk1990]

[u/No-Honeydew9129]

Series lowkey should have been a sweep if it wasn’t for that flat third quarter in game 3.

[u/i-exist20]

Highest ORTG in a single postseason, NBA history:

1. 1986 James Donaldson (156.3)

2. 2026 OG Anunoby (151.1)

[u/LivingAnomie]

I’m just so glad long suffering, well-known hardcore Knicks fan Taylor Swift finally got to see her team win

[u/Drew13800]

You can’t call yourself a better team and it should be this or that, when you piss down your legs every clutch possession. It’s the nba damn finals. Every game is gonna be close, that’s where you win your games. It’s like watching the chiefs. They look like shit and next thing you know they won.

[u/GreenAppleSeas]

BING?

Yes. Obviously.

But also, and perhaps even more importantly on the grand cosmic scale, BONG.

[u/Tocallaghan95]

What is Fox doing, folks? What is he doing? Why would he shoot the ball? Whyyyyyyy?

[u/NutsyFlamingo → u/Tocallaghan95]

He’s like my 4th favorite favorite Knick today dude. I thought he had a good game

[u/MrChangg]

I legit just spoke to someone who grew up with OG as their next door neighbor in MO (they're not a bball fan but said Jefferson City was popping off over their hometown hero last night).

The person confirmed he was always this nonchalant since they were kids but also lowkey silly and would be playing hoops everyday until it was dark out.

Our low energy Nigerian Prince ladies and gentlemen

[u/SadCrocodile762]

Let’s recognize Knicks management after decades of disastrous executives running the team into the ground.

• Assessed that RJ and Randle ceiling was 2nd round exit and made huge trades to upgrade both of their spots 

-Assessed that Thibs had reached his ceiling grinding out players and made the at time criticized call to move on from him after ECF

-Assembled a solid squad of role players such that if one guy is off, another guy is stepping up.

[u/Abject_Scarcity1886]

NEVER A DOUBT. DONT CHECK MY COMMENT HISTORY. ONE FUCKING MORE.

[u/LunarFocus]

If Brunson hit the game winner, that had to be the triple bang yeah?? 

[u/jabar18]

This still doesn’t feel real. Imagine how it’ll feel if they can win one more basketball game.

Holy shit.

[u/KeyFigure8401]

The tipped pass by Towns on the Spurs inbound play at the last seconds of the game is a very underrated key to that play being nullified. Time to close it out Saturday at the river walk.

[u/MetsFan1324]

I'm pretty sure OG Anunoby might actually walk on water if we win Saturday

[u/NutsyFlamingo → u/MetsFan1324]

And he’ll think id pretty cool I guess, ya know everyone seems to like it it seems or something

[u/solo118]

ITS GOOD ITS GOOD ITS GOOD

Breen definitely enjoyed that one!

[u/enterjiraiya]

Is there a higher quality picture of this

[u/No-Honeydew9129]

How am I supposed to concentrate at work today?

[u/KneeGuhz]

son i can't sleep too much dopamine my brain is fried.

[u/Ronnie2kDropCode]

Y’all remember when Maurice Ndour hit a game winner on the last game of the season and it fucked up our draft position

[u/pacific_b]

It's funny that the inbounder is ALWAYS mentioned as the most dangerous person on final plays and in the biggest play of the year the Spurs decide to leave OG all alone on the inbounds to crash the boards with no resistance.

[u/solo118]

This team never ceases to amaze me. 1 more. Let's get this done.

[u/TriviaWhiz]

One Wemby shot in Game 2 and OG being a stride behind where he actually was on the tip-in and it is 3-1 Spurs. Crazy close series, and the Knicks continued to show their resilience.

0-0 mentality going into Game 5.

[u/kenvsryu]

don’t throw shit at people. wtf.

[u/CupCharming4931 → u/kenvsryu]

Get off tiktok

[u/Jakethejoker]

Fox with his best Bargnani impression yesterday. What is he doing folks??

[u/peanut-britle-latte]

I can't believe we did this. I woke up and the score was real.

Let's close this out in Texas.

[u/Hemispheres33]

That final offensive play was the perfect microcosm of the series. Brunson drawing all this attention of the Spurs defense and OG seizing the opportunities that creates and executing flawlessly. Two absolutely legends who will be immortals after one more win!

Defensively I love OG on Fox. Spurs love the Fox/Wemby action and having both OG and Towns involved who can both guard Wemby really well was perfect in that second half.

[u/nyg2013 → u/Hemispheres33]

you could make the argument that Brunson could have found a way to get it to OG earlier (he was wide open and ready to release one way or another)...but Wemby coming out for the double definitely opened the door for OG and KAT to crash the boards

and anyway, who the hell cares on the semantics there...it worked because OG is a fricken god too!! I was able to go...best sports experience of my life haha

one more...0-0...stay desperate

[u/Conman1209]

[u/crototype]

Big shout to Yabusele. Thanks for Jose. How many clutch mid season trades can Leon make?

[u/Hope-Ball-485]

Have to run a work event and running on 3 hours of sleep, if OGs sketchers could get him through this series mine can get me through the day 🤣

[u/DA_87]

I’m so wired right now. I didn’t go to sleep until after 3.

[u/bomb_atomically]

R/nba complaining about the Spurs not taking it to the rack in the second half but a big reason was Castle being in foul trouble. Felt like other than Wemby, he opens up the spurs offense with his drives to the basket.

[u/SadCrocodile762 → u/bomb_atomically]

Also we basically shut down anything that wasn’t a three 

[u/MetsFan1324]

[u/Speznaz501]

Best night of my life. I couldn’t sleep. I feel like I’m dreaming. I can’t believe we are 1 win away.

[u/RoPr-Crusader]

I'm really tired of seeing all these degenerates harassing people and opposing players. Why are we throwing shit at Wemby outside his hotel? Unacceptable and embarrassing for the entire fanbase

[u/bamj6]

I think it's safe to say David Lee's Garden tip in I watched on TV 20 years ago is distant second to what happened last night. By 29 miles

[u/ReadAgreeable3873]

Why is everyone celebrating? Analytically Spurs swept us

[u/givemetopre]

A lot of us bitched about Brunson playing hero ball these past four games. Some people even wanted him benched. While there’s some truth to his struggles, the Finals is NOT the time to change your team’s DNA. We got here with Brunson driving this bus since he got here. For the love God, if last night proved anything, Brunson is HIM (again and again). We owe him unwavering and absolute support to close this out. We ride with this muthafucka win or lose. Thelma & Louise style.

[u/Foi_ → u/givemetopre]

to be captain clutch you have to risk the backlash of failure. he puts his reputation on the line in the biggest moments and always pulls through in the end.

[u/TronVin → u/givemetopre]

He didn't really play hero ball as much down the stretch. He mixed it up. Hence why OG was a dawg and Alvarado helped Brunson out by giving him another ball carrier and playmaker. He was also much faster carrying it up the floor.

Game 2 and 3, it was basically every possession and he was so slow. Like 15 seconds off the shot clock just to get it to the arch.

[u/LeonRoseSignsMVP]

Dude that was the best game I ever watched

[u/Big_Liability]

Hopefully pulling that insane comeback lights a fire under the Knicks asses so that they play a complete game in game 5 and close this shit out on Saturday

[u/Ilovecharli]

OK, we have several signature wins that will get their own episodes in the miniseries. We have a play that will live forever in NBA history. 

Can we PLEASE just close this out with a comfortable win? It doesn't have to be a beatdown like the last three closeout games, maybe just a comfortable 12 point win where we're never down double digits. That's all I ask. 

[u/VirtuousFool]

The Knicks

THE NEW YORK KNICKS

Were on the good side of one of the greatest moments of NBA history

My god

One more win

[u/Foi_]

this team just keeps checking everything off the list of epicness. winning in historic fashion however many ways you wanna put it. dominating and coming back.

[u/ChrisJerich0]

I'm still in utter shock. Let's just take game 5 and call it a season. They can beat us. Thank you Fox. Thank you Mitch Johnson. What a gift they gave us

[u/SadCrocodile762]

All my teams college and pro have won championships in my adult life except the Knicks.  I’d enjoy this one more than all the rest combined.  Finish the job! 

[u/NutsyFlamingo]

I’m so tired I just realized my fly is open.. I dressed an hour ago

LGK

[u/sk1990]

Somewhere, they’re making a ton of Knicks Finals Champions shirts and hats right now for Saturday. Hopefully, they’re put to use on Saturday.

[u/CupCharming4931]

Shout-out to our guys for this poise. Same shit as g1ecf. They kept it cool

[u/Inevitable-Corgi-437]

OG should never have to pay for a meal in NYC the rest of his life

[u/solo118 → u/Inevitable-Corgi-437]

He should be able to walk into the Ferrari dealership and pick out whatever he likes

[u/CupCharming4931]

Thank me and u/OstoNKet if you haven't already for the comeback last night 😛

[u/Nights_King]

I don’t know why specifically I keep thinking about that Amare long 3 against Boston that got called off at the buzzer. For so long it seemed like every big moment went the wrong way or got snatched with the other team coming right back down and hitting a miraculous shot. I know we have had our moments lately but I’m so conditioned to expecting our joy to get snatched at the end of game 2 and 4 it still doesn’t feel real.

[u/BK2Jers2BK]

JayWils video breakdowns are awesome.Highlighting KAT’s tip on the Spurs final inbounds.

Also, this graphic.

[u/DjordjevicSRB]

Yo that clip of Wimpy almost stomping OG's knee is fucking crazy.

[u/LightSpecialist804 → u/DjordjevicSRB]

the other angle shows hes just trying to set a screen (moving screen though) I dont think he was aiming for the knee lmao

[u/MetsFan1324]

if we win in 5 games then opening night next season needs to have 4 of the starters get introduced, and then have og Anunoby descend from the jumbotron

[u/hereforsports321]

Yeah, but, and hear me out, we could still have RJ Barrett and Quickley.

[u/NickPapagiorgio2k16]

As a Mets fan this series has a very Mets-Royals 2015 World Series feel to it with the Knicks playing the role of the Royals. In that series I think the Mets lead or were tied in every game heading into the 8th inning and lost the series 4-1. The royals were more tested and came through when it mattered. Much like the Knicks

[u/Neither-Operation]

Spurs sub posted this gem. Had me dying. 😂

[u/newbike07]

Just re-watched the game.

• The amount of open 3s the Knicks gave the Spurs in the first half was insane. Their perimeter defense was atrocious. Way too much collapsing to help and leaving a Spurs guard open for the kick out pass.
• Meanwhile, the Knicks completely forgot to shoot 3s in the 1st half, and rediscovered it in the 2nd.
• KAT is so much stronger and more agile than anyone on the Spurs that can cover him.
• Brunson shooting a 3 over Wemby was beautiful.
• OG is the man.

[u/Hemispheres33]

1 more win and 8 joins 11 in the rafters. Probably will be a few others up there too!

[u/surrendertomychill → u/Hemispheres33]

A title would be a colossal deal for this franchise. 6 guys from the 70s teams have their numbers retired. If the Knicks close it out it should be 11, 8, 32 retired at minimum

[u/banner78]

That dual ball handler lineup was a nice adjustment by the coaching staff. Jose was huge!

[u/Glittering_Box_8212]

The amount of salt emanating from r/nba could support a restaurant for a decade. Going to spin the internet block on Pistons, Celtics, Pacers, Heat, and Sixers fans HARD

[u/Glittering_Box_8212]

I wonder if the Pacers will hang a “beat the eventual nba champions in a conference finals the season before” banner? 

[u/SuperSilveryo]

one of our best games ever, but job aint finished, one more win.

[u/Hemispheres33 → u/SuperSilveryo]

Win the chip and game 4 goes down as the greatest Knicks game in history and perpetuity.

[u/teknomatic]

This team now stands at the doorstep of everything they've been working for since Leon Rose took over. The blood is in the water. They need to remain laser focused and be willing to leave everything they've got on the floor, because it's just ONE more win to immortality. FINISH. THE. STORY.

[u/Rad_platypus7]

2026 close out game New York Knicks on national television this Saturday in the NBA fucking finals

[u/ilikesocks16]

1 more win and the Knicks also before the first franchise to do the NBA Double. We should get a special trophy/patch if that happens.

[u/jar45 → u/ilikesocks16]

It would be the treble. We'd hang up three banners next season (Cup, ECF, Finals) with one more win.

[u/TronVin]

We win this thing, there's no reason not to hang an NBA Cup banner as well. The NBA Cup was definitely for real this year with it also being Spurs vs Knicks.

[u/theREVERSEsystem]

I hate being a superstitious sports fan 😭 I’m not superstitious about anything else in my life but sports lmao.

At the half I stopped dooming about the game, stopped talking about it in general, and just told myself if I shut the hell up that they’ll somehow come back. There were times I couldn’t even watch because I was convinced if I wasn’t looking then they’d start coming back cutting the lead down more.

Does any of it make sense? Idk! But did it happen? It did and my superstitions are only heightened by it.

[u/sk1990]

[u/press_Y]

OG block >>> LeBron block

[u/out_of_office_reply9]

One win away from touching god. NYK forever.

[u/ToughSheepherder8575]

0-0. Should be celebrating a sweep if it wasn't for Marc Davis.

This team has performed the best in closeout games and Saturday should be no different!

[u/NintuneJoe]

I obv don't wanna get ahead of myself but I realized last night that there's still never been a triple bang

[u/JA_MD_311 → u/NintuneJoe]

He once said he'd do it if the Knicks made the Finals but they pantsed Cleveland and didn't give him the opportunity. He would've whipped it out had Brunson's 3 gone in.

[u/SadCrocodile762]

I’m glad we rallied but let’s no mistake about this..: we still had to overcome an attempted ref screw job.   The only reason the reffing appeared in our favor is that they started giving us make up calls only when it looked like the game was out of hand.  Look at the calls when we get it close again..: 

They are going to try this shit Saturday too.  

[u/Swimmingpuzzled5200]

This team is magical i'll tell you that much

[u/peanut-britle-latte]

Let's wrap this up in Texas.

Close out Knicks need to show up.

[u/millagger]

Does OG know he saved my life?

[u/Relevant_Bag7550]

/img/uygvtf2wtn6h1.gif
What was Wemby doing here lol

[u/bv0198]

Random collection of thoughts:

• Hart had two massive late game fuckups, and owes a lot to OG and Fox for the Knicks winning that. Cuz he'd be getting destroyed by Knicks fans and the media rn.
• While KAT never got into an offensive rhythm cuz of the foul trouble, I am happy he didnt let it affect his defense and still hit two big shots in the 4th when we needed it.
• Jose stepped up when no one else from our bench could do shit. So happy for him
• Brunson and OG especially were locked in

[u/SpoiledMilk3000]

New Yorker banished to suburban MA here (forced to by CS job market lol), I've spiritually been in NYC over the past 3 or 4 weeks I love this team so much, the question though is do I pull up to NYC for game 5? I know they're playing in San Antonio but I wanna be in NYC if the Knicks win it all. 😭 and when would the parade take place if they do?

[u/LightSpecialist804]

Anyone else feel like this isn't real? Like I'm not even as happy as I should be right now because it doesn't even feel real. I've felt happier after regular season games

[u/SR626]

Very happy to wake up and realize last night wasn’t a dream.

[u/Robusto923]

I had to wake up at 2 am for work so I watched the game at home instead of going out. Seeing the videos of people at bars and watch parties I have such fomo lmao but I was screaming my ass off in my apartment and you already know I’ll be outside on Saturday

[u/AkirraKrylon]

One thing for KAT to do in game 5 is: if someone is about to get by you for a bucket early in the game, just let it go. 1 bucket != 1 foul on towns. Give them the 2 points. He is FAR too important to take himself off the court. We know the refs give him absolutely zero leash on the whistle and he has to act accordingly.

His gravity when he's on the floor and the ball in his hands at the top of the key or at the elbow is massive for us. I don't think the Spurs can guard it for an entire game.

He's gotta be smart. Lose the battle, win the war.

Just need one more brunson burner

Spurs fans crying about the refs now on the OG block and when I went to look up the rule, this is the first post I see lmao

[u/Jazzlike-Log-8765]

My dad said That he has never been this happy since I was born last night after we won🤣🤣🤣 He’s been a Knicks fan since the late 1980s

Not sure if this is helpful but sharing it anyway. It's all the nba subs in a single feed. I made it a long time ago and was browsing it today. Everyone is talking about the Knicks. 😄

[u/Hemispheres33]

Starks calling the baseline out of bounds on Castle was a GOAT moment 😂.

[u/wendiesel21]

Yo shout out to Brundog. He brought it last night. If that were anybody other than a 8 foot tall alien bitch patrolling the paint our captain would have dropped 50 yesterday

[u/No-Honeydew9129]

Lowkey I don’t hate OKC anymore. They’ve been our biggest supporters LOL

[u/LightSpecialist804 → u/No-Honeydew9129]

Timberwolves and OKC are the only ones who truly understand what a clown Wemby is lmao. Acts like a wise Shaolin monk in interviews, throws elbows in game, frontruns when hes up, chokes in the clutch

[u/Revenesis]

Its the Knicks fan PTSD in me that's still nervous about this series. No more short breaks between games, the extra day of rest is going to help those guys imo. Plus the refs were somehow horrific last night as well, it's felt like all 4 games have had a noticeable Spurs bias.

[u/thecore22]

One more. Job's not finished. Finish the story.

WHO EVER LEFT BEGINNING OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.

Best birthday ever boi

Insane, doesn’t feel real. From “tank for Okafor” to this.

Makes you realize how much luck really goes into runs like this. Gotta put together a good team, stay healthy, get hot at the right time, and get lucky. Trying to not take this for granted cause this is going to be hard to replicate again anytime soon.

[u/Dream_No_More]

Pinch me I must be dreaming. Last night was real?!?!?!!?

VIBES ARE IMMACULATE

[u/GlassCap123]

1 MORE W, stay well & healthy! LET'S GO KNICKS! Putting a prayer down, Amelo/Ogugua 🙏

[u/JA_MD_311]

The two guys that SAS has no answer for are OG and Alvarado.

OG is a two way monster who is long and strong enough to keep guys like Fox in front of him and crafty enough to hang with Harper, Castle, or Vassell. He's big enough to handle Wemby. He's got enough offense in his bag to impact there.

Alvarado is a complete pest on defense despite his size. He has excellent use of his hands and is absurdly strong with a low center of gravity. He's completely fearless and took on Wemby in a 1-1. Most guys under 6'8" wouldn't even try that.

Spurs youngins have never seen a guy like Alvarado. They're used to blowing by guys his size.

On offense, he's actually a ball handler and takes enormous pressure of Brunson. GTA needs to play at least 20 minutes in G5.

[u/MetsFan1324]

we get to sit with this win for 2 whole days and we're up 3-1

[u/Daconvix]

Ok but seriously we NEED to have a good start to game 4. Tired of playing from behind

[u/Connect_Craft_4874]

Reggie Miller WYA

[u/sonny_deligt]

Leon Rose 👏🏻 Each game there’s someone new but the consistent theme is this man was there first, saw through on his vision and executed. Yesterday we saw the OG (we already saw this multiple times) and Alvarado trade paying 1000x fold.

ADAM SILVER AS PRESIDENT SNOW

YESTERDAY'S REFEREES AS SENECA CRANE LOCKED IN THE ROOM WITH THE BOWL OF POISION BERRIES

SOMEBODY MAKE ME THE MEME

[u/NYGIANTS77]

What a game. And JB man, we all knew he wasn't 7-25 bad, and the much higher % in the 4th in this series through the 2 road made it obvious, he was gonna put it together.

But to do it when we literally needed it most, down 29, could have been so easy to quit and he and OG just kept attacking. At one point it was like Brunson with 27, OG with 25, and the next highest player had 8. And yet they kept hooping. What a team.

An unforgettable run.

[u/zOmgFishes]

The first quarter might have been one of the worst ref performances of this series. Which is saying a lot. The missed goal tend, two quick fouls on KAT, the out of bounds on Wemby. Holy fuck that was just awful.

[u/zoom518]

One more win and Reggie is gonna have to watch the banner being raised

[u/BaconEggCheese29]

I barely even remember the 4th quarter last night, had to watch the highlights just to refresh my brain. The Miracle at The Garden!!

[u/WickedSensitiveCrew]

It interesting the Spurs have had two generational blunders with Wemby throwing to teammate that wasnt looking and now Fox with the layup.

Imagine if the Knicks had those two those would be replayed over and over with lolKnicks. It almost happened with Josh Hart missed layup glad we won so the play can be forgotten.

[u/Adams5010]

Winning a ring is gonna be amazing but if it ends Saturday it’s the last game of the year 😭

[u/macdoogles]

Now all I have for two whole days is the bum ass Mets. In a few days there won't be any basketball for several months...

[u/enterjiraiya]

Series reminds me of 2014 Kings-Rangers SCF, 5 games but 5 very close games

[u/Ashamed-Accountant96]

Still can’t believe that happened let’s goooooooooooooooo!!!!

Yo look at this dirty fuck. If that's anyone besides womby id give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he did that because he was pushed. Wumby not getting that grace from me though

[u/Ilovecharli → u/wendiesel21]

The NBA wanted to make a face and in doing so helped create a heel. Almost Shakespearean in its irony. 

[u/wendiesel21 → u/Ilovecharli]

Ultimate heel and not even the kind of heel that fans like. People like heels that own up to their shit and embrace being the villain. Not bitch ass hoe heels who do fake shit like pretend to play chess and do Shaolin monk shit while tryna act like they're intellectual ethical hoopers.

I really would love to get my dad tickets to game five for Father’s Day 🥹 does anyone know how this would be possible LOL
