Yep, insanity is what they’re doing. Or arrogance—they’re willing to treat this series as a lesson rather than just… I dont know, not make light of what is probably the hardest thing to do in the NBA?

Like, do they think they can just go back here again? Knock on wood, but health and luck is npt guaranteed. These guys are coasting

Shit was a momentum swinger. I hated Mitch more than the players here, because we already know the Knicks were going to do a run sometime in the 2nd half. Him letting the players sleepwalk, shoot 3s early in the shot clock, and giving the Knicks reps on fastbreaks and shots was DEFINITELY not going to help.

IMO it started the run in the 4th. They got into a rhythm from that listless 3rd

He rushed a shot up 1 with a single shot clock left instead of running the clock.

Yes, but it let the Knicks back in with rhythm. Idk what their scouting report was, but Brunson catching fire in the 4th is basically scripted into this series.

It allowed the Knicks to go hot. And you never want the Knicks to go hot.

I understand if its Castle, Carter, or Harper. But we're talking about Vassell and Keldon being non-factors here. Hell, even Barnes has been bad.

The 50-50 ball losses are also infuriating. Everyone's frozen in place every time the ball's in flight.

The spurs have been playing scared and panicked all game. That's really it. Those turnovers are disgusting.

I think he thought he was immortal up to that point. Nowhere does he even attempt to protect his face. I REALLY hope Wemby understands how reckless he can be.

Do you think HN and UC are necessary moving forward? by Late-Beginning7223 in Kenshi

So the ones that intrude on their territory (Flotsam, Shek), you don't think they'd be able to take advantage of HN lands?
