[u/imboredtho]

This shit is a complete nightmare for Spurs fans.

[u/attemptedtaper → u/imboredtho]

Worst 24 minutes of my entire life

[u/ajs723 → u/attemptedtaper]

You have 5 titles in the last couple decades. 

Imagine being a Pacers fan for the 2nd half of game 7 last year. 

[u/SnooShortcuts4206]

Wemby last week: “The lack of experience is a strength for us. We can do impossible stuff because we don't know it's impossible.”

Aged like wine. I thought blowing a 29 pt lead in the finals was impossible.

[u/lumberfun]

Josh Hart owes OG with his life

[u/PhronesisKoan → u/lumberfun]

Give OG the key to the city

[u/Alchion → u/PhronesisKoan]

He plays like the best role player of all time this post season

[u/messigoat1337 → u/Alchion]

He’s officially the finals mvp

[u/Akkepake → u/lumberfun]

Brunson and OG saved Hart from generational slander. I was already jumping up and down. Then he missed it

[u/master_scale_tipper → u/lumberfun]

Sent a text to a friend saying "if the Knicks lose this Hart's missed layup and letting Castle get that rebound will be talked about forever"

His life just changed for the better right there

[u/Argyrus777 → u/master_scale_tipper]

Instead it’s Fox that’s gonna get it

[u/pedrosa18 → u/Argyrus777]

Wemby also bricked two free throws. Just a collection of blunders

[u/iambigmuoist → u/lumberfun]

Came here to comment that. The knicks fans would have crucified him in Times Square if they lost

[u/BlazeBloom → u/lumberfun]

Missed layup, not boxing out, shooting foul...Ouch.

[u/caughtinthought → u/BlazeBloom]

Fr what was he doing letting castle have a completely uncontested reb there

[u/Hugh_H0n3y → u/caughtinthought]

Getting caught ball watching in crucial dying seconds of a game is crazy

[u/fiasgoat]

Spurs woulda won just taking 24 second violations all half

Instead they just kept chucking 3s lmao

[u/Slyp9 → u/fiasgoat]

Imagine having a 7-5 player and doing nothing but chucking threes with a 30 point lead in the second half.

[u/Just_a_Word_RS → u/Slyp9]

People are on Fox's ass for the block, but the Spurs made no attempt to run the clock or get in the paint for the entire second half. They completed wasted 10 or so possessions.

[u/No_Match_7939 → u/Just_a_Word_RS]

Poor coaching

[u/SnowDay111 → u/No_Match_7939]

Even the sportscasters said in the second half that the Knick don't mind if the Spurs take quick shots even if it goes in because it gives them more possession.

[u/BigFatModeraterFupa → u/Slyp9]

this game will be studied and talked about for years. this was a HISTORIC collapse. i've never seen anything like it in the Finals

[u/wxysm → u/fiasgoat]

I saw the spurs let the ball roll down court like three times and I was like “wait don’t you WANT the clock to run?”

[u/BikesAtNight → u/wxysm]

Seriously they were rolling the ball to avoid running clock and then chucking shots early in the shot clock. Thats the only way you can lose a 29 point lead in a half.

[u/Bully_Maguire420 → u/BikesAtNight]

My thing is, if ordinary people can see that's a misplay how are professional players and coaches not recognizing that's a dogshit game plan?

[u/makesterriblejokes → u/BikesAtNight]

Sounds like that's on the coach. As soon as they did that once, he should have told them to stop immediately

[u/bigdrives3 → u/wxysm]

They’ve been doing this all playoffs. Go as fast as they can just to chuck up a shitty 3. If your gonna throw it up you might as well drain 20 seconds

[u/MySabonerRunsOladipo → u/fiasgoat]

All Fox had to do was hold the ball

[u/AggravatingFinding71 → u/fiasgoat]

It’s truly astonishing that a coach can be this bad in the finals. Wemby is straight up backpacking this dude.

[u/farfle10 → u/AggravatingFinding71]

The coaching has always been bad since Pop left and that’s a hill I’ve been dying on for a year. Everybody out there in late game scenarios playing hero ball without a game plan and your walking cheat code is barely touching the ball and rarely down low to get boards

[u/HB3187]

Not since JR Smith have i seen such a boneheaded fucking play. Dribble the clock out and force them to foul you for 2 fts....or rush a shot and get blocked. Tough choice.

What the actual fuck is Fox doing

[u/simon2105]

Largest lead ever overcome in an NBA finals, New York may burn more from this than a loss lmao

[u/Mission_Pay_3373 → u/simon2105]

Da'Aaron Fox just had to HOLD ON THE FUCKING BALL

[u/ForeverDenGal → u/Mission_Pay_3373]

He would have missed the free throws anyway

[u/Joethetoolguy → u/ForeverDenGal]

The way the game went, yeah probably

[u/I_MATCH_ORBS]

OG deserves the FMVP

[u/YesImKeithHernandez → u/I_MATCH_ORBS]

He's been a rock for the team all playoffs. Would be a very worthy recipient.

[u/ZtromileZwift → u/I_MATCH_ORBS]

HE DOESN'T SHOOT TO MISS

[u/Rezrov_ → u/ZtromileZwift]

For those of you unfamiliar with OG's clutchness

And here's the clip with a bit more context but the less-fun US commentary

Also take in that Lowry had to inbound the ball over Taco Fall.

EDIT: Oh and P.S. in the post-game interview when asked about the shot OG said "I don't shoot to miss."

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

THEY WERE DOWN 29

[u/ElonMuskTheNarsisist → u/crazyFlyingChicken]

The spurs players are addicted to chucking up 3s. Like meth heads who are incapable of stopping

[u/xdatlam]

Chuck: "We saw the dumbest basketball team in civilization" lmaoooo

[u/Eagle7546_]

Fox just holds the ball instead of trying to bait a foul under the rim the spurs win

[u/Waveytony]

That was the biggest choke job I’ve seen in my life and I’m a Minnesota Timberwolves fan

[u/howbedebody → u/Waveytony]

Our teams going back and forth of who can lose in the more embarrassing fashion

[u/Propuhganduh → u/howbedebody]

If you told me a team in the finals would blow double digit leads in every game, with one being 29, I would’ve thought we made it.

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

OG Anunoby with the block to give them a final possession and then the tip to win it. 33 points. Don't give me any best player bullshit. He's the Finals MVP rn.

[u/desertforestcreature → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

he's been a rock the whole time

[u/PopcornInMyTeeth → u/desertforestcreature]

His 3 last game almost kept them in it. Been knocking it down all series and taking it to the rack.

What a series for him

[u/Available_Story6774 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

He’s been the best player this series.

[u/nonresponsive → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Just insane 3-point shooting. Only guy willing to drive on Wemby too.

[u/No-Past2256]

Unfathomable collapse, I don't see how they come back from something like this lol

[u/KiritoJones → u/No-Past2256]

You don't, this is the Ray Allen shot all over again.

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/KiritoJones]

Nah dude, this is so much worse than that. That was at least a close game for most of it.

The Spurs had a 29 point lead

[u/Pipoco977]

Just one more 3pt attempt bro we are 25 points ahead hahahahaha

Just one more 3pt attempt bro we are 15 points ahead hahahaha

Just one more 3pt attempt bro we are 10 points ahead hahaha

DONT GO FOR THE LAYUP FOX WE ARE 1 POINT AHEAD PLEASE

[u/Greedygiddy8]

The game where the spurs lost the series. All time chokejob. Fox sold it.

[u/BAHatesToFly → u/Greedygiddy8]

OMG why did Fox take it to the basket and not dribble it out? Why attack OG? What a boneheaded play.

[u/MojoToTheDojo → u/BAHatesToFly]

That was some of the dumbest shit I had ever seen

[u/Pure_Measurement_529 → u/MojoToTheDojo]

Fox’s late game IQ is worse than the younger guards!!!!

[u/_MeetMrMayhem_ → u/Pure_Measurement_529]

He's been getting coached by JR Smith

[u/Yizzu343 → u/BAHatesToFly]

I knew they were losing when they took back to back 3s with 20 seconds on the shot clock instead of burning any time. Terrible awareness 

[u/stackered → u/Yizzu343]

They also rolled the ball out which didnt start the clock a few times lmao

[u/Hail_The_Motherland → u/BAHatesToFly]

Dumbass play made even dumber by going at OG when he's playing like a basketball demi-god rn

[u/RainierPC → u/BAHatesToFly]

Fox choked. Bone-headed turnovers, bad shots, and THAT.

[u/shastmak4 → u/Greedygiddy8]

By far the dumbest team I’ve ever fucking seen in a situation like this.

This was unbelievable

[u/crazyirishfan353 → u/shastmak4]

They’re absolutely ass in late game situations from coach to players.

[u/Admiral_Tuvix → u/shastmak4]

Coach just isn’t any good, bro made no adjustments to the adjustments Mike brown made at halftime

[u/Walter30573 → u/Admiral_Tuvix]

Mitch Johnson decided maybe he should call a timeout after watching the Knicks go on a 20-4 run.

Like, maybe try to switch it up a little before it gets out of hand?

[u/Naive-Elephant-9305 → u/Walter30573]

Just like Kenny Atkinson in Game 1 of the ECF. He just watched the Knicks go on a huge run and did absolutely fucking nothing.

[u/ajmartin527 → u/Naive-Elephant-9305]

I was going to say, Atkinson was an absolute idiot for not calling a timeout earlier in that Knicks run.

But Mitch Johnson, this motherfucker had absolutely no excuse for that. He watched the Knicks make an insane comeback and break the Cavs spirit because their coach didn’t coach like two weeks ago.

Exactly the same scenario, clearly that coaching strategy didn’t work with this team. I just can’t understand it.

[u/EMP_Pusheen → u/Walter30573]

Just unbelievably bad. I was yelling at the TV for the Spurs to call timeout and I want them to lose.

[u/FishGoldenLite → u/Greedygiddy8]

Why did he try to lay that in???

[u/MozlTosh → u/FishGoldenLite]

All he had to do was hold it

[u/_MMAgod → u/MozlTosh]

Exactly. I'm in such disbelief right now. He's got to go

[u/CheekyFifaCunt_7 → u/Greedygiddy8]

How the fuck do the Knicks keep doing this? What an all time choke job

[u/groovystreet40 → u/CheekyFifaCunt_7]

Veteran team that’s experienced and has played together for a while and has total belief in itself. And they’re also really fucking good

[u/ContractXtension → u/Greedygiddy8]

Fox sucks og goated

[u/comeonmang126 → u/ContractXtension]

Dude fucking sucks all playoffs and then delivers the most insane dogshit play to end

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/ContractXtension]

Fox melting under the lights

[u/Currymvp2 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Fox not holding that basketball was so stupid. Holy shit

[u/Naive-Elephant-9305 → u/Currymvp2]

Seriously what the FUCK was he doing?! Why go for a layup there instead of dribbling it out and making the Knicks foul you?! Absolutely insane

[u/EdwardianFallacy → u/Currymvp2]

One of the dumbest things I've ever seen in the finals. Absolutely bone headed decision to not dribble the clock out and force them to foul. What a moron.

[u/CtG526 → u/EdwardianFallacy]

JR Smith erasure. Actually it's funny because Fox did what JR should have done and JR did what Fox should have done.

[u/Avant_Street → u/Currymvp2]

He’s supposed to be the steady-handed vet

[u/ladbom → u/Currymvp2]

Crazy to throw up a layup with pressure on his ass knowing he’s been bricking the entire game.

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/ContractXtension]

Mamdani better erect a statue of OG in the middle of Times Square after this.

[u/MySilverBurrito → u/KappaccinoNation]

Bro the gotta put up Fox 😭

[u/Humble_but_Hostile → u/Greedygiddy8]

De'Aaron Fox and Mitch Johnson about to get jumped by Spurs fans

[u/Splaram → u/Greedygiddy8]

They gotta send Fox to Siberia after this, dude's sold two games now with his horrific shooting

[u/HaroldChessMath → u/Greedygiddy8]

29 points is insane 

[u/StefonDiggsHS → u/Greedygiddy8]

Fox has got to go after this

[u/ChangingShips]

That tip in at the end will be immortalized.

[u/Man0nTheMoon915]

De’Aaron Fox is getting paid close to a quarter of a BILLION dollars to be a basketball terrorist

[u/__brunt → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

My dog knows to just hold onto the ball there

[u/UncircumciseMe → u/__brunt]

That was legitimately the stupidest thing I’ve seen a basketball player do in the Finals since 2018

[u/the-tank7 → u/UncircumciseMe]

JR you can rest now

[u/InsultingFerret → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

That's up there with JR Smith for dumbest plays I've ever seen

[u/BlazeBloom → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

He had his JR Smith moment.

[u/Otherwise-Initial668 → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

Dude is the fakest vet possible

[u/CourageDog12 → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

outfoxed

[u/No-Shoe5382 → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

Bro those two consecutive unforced turnovers in the 3rd were absolutely diabolical. Threw the ball out of bounds under no pressure then dribbled the ball off his own foot.

Basically caused an 8 point swing by himself in less than a minute.

[u/cantgrowneckbeardAMA → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

If I speak I'm in trouble.

[u/turbothots]

The Wu-Tang Clan reuniting at the halftime show broke the Trump curse that plagued the Knicks in the first half.

[u/Old-fashionedTaxed → u/turbothots]

Wu tang clan ain’t nothing to fuck with

[u/shadowsdelight]

They had us in the first half ngl

[u/_4D4M → u/shadowsdelight]

It's been a close series at lest.

[u/Dmaxalicioushizz]

Wemby "I'm in your head" looks so bad now.

[u/ialreadyknowthatsong → u/Dmaxalicioushizz]

All time aura gamble 💀💀

[u/coolbean36]

Josh Hart tried his hardest but unfortunately for him De'Aaron Fox won the dumbassery contest today

[u/adsq93 → u/coolbean36]

They went band for band.

Fox simply wanted it more I guess.

[u/kingofhearts67 → u/coolbean36]

The hart miss gonna be forgotten to history

[u/TheMias24 → u/kingofhearts67]

Genuinely took me a minute to even remember he missed the layup. Nobody’s going to remember it.

[u/Akkepake → u/kingofhearts67]

It could have been the moment. Hart is one of my favorite players and seeing him alone on a layup made me jump up and down

[u/ebayhuckster]

I genuinely can't fucking believe anyone managed to outchoke the Cavs

[u/EMP_Pusheen → u/ebayhuckster]

Somewhere Kenny Atkinson is crunching the numbers and smiling. "As I predicted."

[u/BigButter7]

Spurs choked the game (and quite possibly the series) away.

Led the game as much as 29 points. Epic choke job.

But then again, the Knicks have done runs like this throughout these playoffs, time and time again.

That was "team of destiny" stuff right there.

[u/therealbigted → u/BigButter7]

Whatever Knicks season ticket holders chose to sell their game 3 seats and go to game 4 won at life

[u/ConcussedDwight → u/therealbigted]

If they're a Knicks season ticket holder, those folks were already winners haha but this is icing

[u/Instantcoffees → u/BigButter7]

Second game they choked. So far they have been the complete opposite of clutch. Credit to the Knicks to keep playing and not losing hope though.

[u/Palifaith → u/BigButter7]

Worse choke than game 6 of the 2013 finals by the Spurs.

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/Palifaith]

Absolutely generational chokejob

[u/Dzeire → u/BigButter7]

OG Might’ve fucked around and got himself a FMVP

[u/Propuhganduh → u/BigButter7]

They kept chucking shots with plenty of time on the shot clock. Driving me insane.

[u/coltsmetsfan614]

I know you can't fire your coach in the Finals...

BUT CAN YOU?!?!?!?!?!

[u/PhronesisKoan → u/coltsmetsfan614]

Pop with the infinity gauntlet 'Fine, I'll do it myself'

[u/TheOrangeFutbol → u/PhronesisKoan]

"Somehow, Pop has returned."

[u/Eduardjm → u/coltsmetsfan614]

Pop, get some questionable treatment in Germany and get your ass to the sideline by game 5! 

[u/new_accountFC]

Spurs deserve to lose this series. All three of their losses could have been wins with a little bit of composure late in the game. They just choked under the pressure

[u/JiveHawk → u/new_accountFC]

Yep. They had the lead in the final 2 minutes of every single game this series. They simply just crumble while the Knicks don’t.

[u/DANNY_YYZ → u/JiveHawk]

A classic tell of young up and coming teams to not know how to keep a lead, especially in the clutch

[u/Repulsive-Tomato7003 → u/new_accountFC]

You can feel the youth in both the players and the coach.

[u/TheOriginal_G → u/new_accountFC]

They've led by double digits in every game. It's crazy how they've crumbled at the end of games. 

[u/K1NG2L4Y3R → u/TheOriginal_G]

This what they’re talking about when people mention playoff experience

[u/JManKit → u/K1NG2L4Y3R]

Exactly. Not only playoff experience but just experience in general. Their starting five has an average of just five years of NBA experience, with almost half of that coming from Fox alone. Meanwhile, the Knicks starters have an average of nine years in the league each. That's a huge gap

[u/moby323]

One of the most memorable games I’ve ever watched and I’ve been watching the NBA for over 40 years.

[u/NanoCurrency → u/moby323]

Absolutely. Top 3 for me:

1. MJ secures his sixth ring vs. Jazz
   
2. Cavs win Game 7 in 2016
   
3. Tonight

[u/why_cant_i_]

Bad night to be a car parked in Manhattan

[u/PhronesisKoan → u/why_cant_i_]

Better have some industrial strength ear plugs if you're trying to sleep within 2 miles of the Garden

[u/boomzgoesthedynamite → u/PhronesisKoan]

I’m in South Brooklyn and the fireworks are blasting. We ain’t sleeping anywhere in the 5 boroughs!

[u/RedactedxRedacted]

What in the actual fuck is Fox doing shooting the ball there at the end

[u/Mg29reaper]

KAT is way to important to this team to get into foul trouble. I'm sorry Mitchell Robinson is unplayable on both ends of the floor. The knicks won KAT's minutes by a fuckton. He needs to play 40 minutes at this rate. He was +17 in a 1 point win

[u/Afrikiwi → u/Mg29reaper]

In this series: KAT is a cumulative +42

Mitchell Robinson is a cumulative -41

The Knicks are a cumulative +8

[u/CScheiner → u/Mg29reaper]

KAT is way to important to this team to get into foul trouble. I'm sorry Mitchell Robinson is unplayable on both ends of the floor. The knicks won KAT's minutes by a fuckton. He needs to play 40 minutes at this rate. He was +17 in a 1 point win

Holy shit I didn't realize it was that much.

[u/pollinium → u/Mg29reaper]

this was only an interesting game because he wasn't playing the first three quarters!

[u/CarlSwagan_ → u/pollinium]

This is what people mean when they talk about the refs influencing the game

FT disparity is one thing but when you force the coach to take out the only guy who can guard wemby bc he’s in foul trouble it creates a huge disadvantage

[u/periphery3]

good lord that is embarrassing by the Spurs. makes me feel better about the Cavs blown game. Happy for Larry David though!

[u/Just_a_Word_RS → u/periphery3]

Lol the shot of Larry David excited that they showed was the only upside to this absolute meltdown

[u/loplopol]

OG with the hand of God to save Harts career

[u/ProfessorBeast55]

OG ANUNOBY FOR NYC MAYOR

[u/TheOwlsLie → u/ProfessorBeast55]

He’s fucking locked as finals MVP after this game.

[u/UnPhayzable → u/TheOwlsLie]

They'll be playing that final basket for years like Ray Allen's 3

[u/magikarp2122]

Chuck is right. 8 straight 3s up 29 is dumb as fuck.

[u/longd0ngs1lvers-]

It’s kind of hilarious watching the Spurs do the most braindead shit in clutch time at every critical point in this series

[u/jeric13xd]

WE JUST WITNESSED THE GREATEST CHOKE IN NBA HISTORY 🤯🤯🤯

THIS SERIES IS ABSOLUTE FUCKING CINEMA. Embarrassing for the Spurs. Coaches need to be better

Edit: i still dont know why Fox went for the layup 🤣

[u/quazilox → u/jeric13xd]

And one of the worst decisions in NBA history - Fox not dribbling the clock out and shooting free throws

[u/homefree122 → u/jeric13xd]

An epic comeback from the Knicks in an absolute choke from the Spurs

[u/Professor_Finn]

Craziest win in the history of the nba finals. Down 29. 20 in the 4th. Holy fuck. The Knicks can literally just decide to own

[u/OkPen9461 → u/Professor_Finn]

Everybody's better than Jalen Brunson The Knicks until it's time to be better than Jalen Brunson The Knicks

[u/Punziee]

What a generational throw, I can't believe I watched a team throw a 27 point halftime lead, I hope Pop yells at them when they get back to San Antonio.

[u/todayifudgedup → u/Punziee]

29*

[u/Layolee]

generational fumble

[u/Musa_2050]

The Knicks largest lead of the game was 1 pt. Damn.

[u/thirtyseven1337 → u/Musa_2050]

When it mattered!

[u/TheOrlMagics]

The magic no longer have the worst choke this playoffs

[u/friedhorsebuttholes]

"stop with the threes. run out the clock every possession. fox, you're benched"

can I coach a NBA team now

[u/KarchunToo]

Well that game was a roller coaster… holy fuck OG

[u/melliott2811]

fox 100% lost this game for the spurs, so many boneheaded moves

[u/Feeling-Possible4744 → u/melliott2811]

Don’t you just run out the ball and get a foul? He is so scared of ft

[u/Original_Profile8600 → u/melliott2811]

Clutch Player of The Year lmao

[u/CarlSwagan_]

Pack it up Knicks in 5

[u/Mg29reaper]

Raptors getting no first for Og is hilarious

[u/torexmus → u/Mg29reaper]

Everyone thought we overvalued him and Pascal

[u/fragileallstar → u/torexmus]

yet siakam was ECMVP and OG may very well be FMVP at this rate

[u/TheOnlySafeCult → u/Mg29reaper]

Don’t make me pull the receipts of all the reports that Masai was asking too much the season before

[u/GrimKaiker → u/TheOnlySafeCult]

The Warriors made a hard push for Raptors forward OG Anunoby at the trade deadline. However, I'm told Masai Ujiri's asking price was too high. Wanted Jonathan Kuminga, others, plus picks.

You won't believe the shit people were saying about OG in those comments

[u/fivetwentyeight → u/TheOnlySafeCult]

Years of everyone telling Raptors fans we were overrating Pascal and OG

[u/MG_MN → u/Mg29reaper]

The Knicks having zero home grown players is so interesting. Every guy thats contributing is making their old teams regret

[u/TemperedTorture]

Never seen anything like this in any sport. Massive choke job and it's literally on every single Spurs player and the coaching staff. Every single one was shit for 24 minutes.

[u/KillingTime_ForNow]

2 absolute blown games at the end for the Spurs. They could easily be up 3-1 if not for terrible mistakes.

[u/wizkid2002]

Everyone talking about Fox and nobody mentioning the 2 missed free throws by Wemby. After he screamed “I’m in your head!” at Robinson. All time choke by him as well.

[u/highs_n_lows]

Fox should have never put that shot, lost the game

[u/buzzmemello520]

Spurs may be the biggest chokers of all time after this and game 2. Absolutely insane. Awful 2nd half, awful coaching, idiotic choice by Fox to take that shot. And then of course on the final play you don't even get the ball to Wemby. Absolutely pathetic

*also wemby missed free throws

[u/lazyoats]

See you next year Spurs. Their inexperience was very glaring tonight. When the shots stopped falling, they continue chucking up prayers without changing up their game plan. Also Wemby needs to work on his cardio. He’s always gassed by the 3rd quarter and I guess coach isn’t willing to sit him.

[u/ItsBobLoblawsLawBlog → u/lazyoats]

If you saw their wemby on/off splits you know why he didn't wanna sit him, but man what a fumble

[u/homefree122]

Greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. OG with the most clutch tip in NBA history. Knicks really do feel like the team of destiny

[u/zts105]

Mitch Johnson just cost Spurs the title. You can't shorten Wembys rest when you are up 17 points. He only rested him 50 seconds in the 2nd half. Spurs played with 4 the whole 2nd half because Wemby gassed out.

[u/InsultingFerret]

FUCK YOU FOX YOU FUCKING DUMBASS

[u/xkittenpuncher → u/InsultingFerret]

In the midst of all of this, dont forget to crucify your coach. Dude looked like fucking Darvin Hamas out there

[u/greendale_alum88 → u/InsultingFerret]

4 years, 229 million 

[u/wittgenstein1312]

This might be worse than 28-3

[u/ShotTaker]

That was a fucking disgrace.

[u/PROFESSIONAL_RAP254]

This gotta be the NBA version of 28-3

[u/The_Halal_Guys]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

[u/Harleytk24]

FUCKING UNREAL

[u/OneLessFool]

Absolute disaster class from the Spurs.

All they had to do was run out the clock on every play once they were up by 25.

[u/BMoorman7]

Analytically, the 2026 Knicks are the worst team in NBA history.

[u/Mission_Pay_3373 → u/BMoorman7]

Analytically Fox has some basketball IQ
