My honest assessment is that the Knicks can win it due to Spurs youth and how tired they are. Sure its young bodies but its more mental than physical at this time of the year. Them youngins never had to play so many important games back to back. Its got to mentally exhausted them.

That said Spurs are still the favorites, and rightfully so.

Wemby ain't my worry. He gonna get his numbers but we also match up well with him. KAT on the perimeter hitting shots will force Wemby out.

My worry is the Spurs wings. Spurs got mad size and our best player is small.

It will come down to Bridges and OG being the best version of themselves. They gonna make Brunson and KAT work hard for all their points. Mikail and OG got to take the load off.

And Hart needs to be on a short leash. Idc if he misses the shot, he just needs to take the open one. If the does that thing where he got a wide open shot but puts the ball down dribbles inside and then steps back to make a horrible pass, he needs to sit early for a shooter. We need Josh though. He need to give us 2-3 good shooting games.
 
Not looking forward to the generational glazing that’s gonna happen with wemby

I never seen so many close ups of somebody face multiple times during FTs as I did last series

Bettors heavily invested in Knicks to win NBA Finals​

New York has a lot riding on the underdog Knicks.

At DraftKings Sportsbook in New York, the Knicks have attracted nearly half of all money wagered on the NBA Finals winner this season -- almost as much as every other team combined.

Now, Victor Wembanyama and the favored San Antonio Spurs are all that stand in the way. On Saturday night, the Spurs opened as high as -220 favorites to win the Finals, with the Knicks installed as approximately +180 underdogs. The price quickly gravitated toward the rested Knicks, and as of Sunday morning, the Spurs were down to -200 favorites.

"Knicks are unsurprisingly very heavily bet on in New York, more so than any other state, both per game and in the futures," Caesars Sportsbook lead NBA trader David Lieberman told ESPN, adding that both the Knicks and Spurs are liabilities for the house in the book's futures market.

 
While I don’t REALLY have a dog in the fight

I’m pulling for the Knicks more than the Spurs

I want this for Towns so bad
Knicks are really good. Brown has them playing great and the match-up is kinda bad for us.

I know you are going to say I've been saying that too much this playoffs. LMAO.

We really need to try and find a legit bigger forward that can play next to Victor in the off-season. Not to mention we need more real shooters.

lol man you in the finals

You lost the right to say yall need anything
 
First of congrats my bro. Shit bout to be a movie.

How much them tickets run over there? I'm trying to decide if 4k×2 worth it.
I'm happy for you and @Ironman and all the Knicks fans. Once again I gotta admit I was wrong about the Thibs firing. I'm super happy for Mike Brown as he has SPURS ties and has some family still living out here.

Resale folks are selling nose bleed seats out here for over 1K a Pop on official SPURS partners like ticketmaster. folks aren't making money like that in San Antonio, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a ton of Knicks fans out here like they've been to every other place in the playoffs. Not to mention the large military transplants from New York that already live out here.

I think the prices will eventually come down because they have each series a day or two before the game. If you are a season ticket holder the seats were more reasonable (I just looked and the area I have for 1 seat is 4 times as much as I paid for 2 seats) to get.
 
You know I'm similar to you and @southsil4lil when it comes to the team building/improving part of this.

I'm not as hardcore as you 2 though. LMAO
Nah just get Harper, Bryant, snd castle to work on their 3 point shooting in the offseason

Barnes and champagnie enough next to Vic

This ain’t no fluke run to the finals

Get out my face wanting more

You gonna cross into Celtics territory with me getting more lol

And you don’t want me hating yall lol
