2026 NBA Season

[stadus]

Honestly, I’m really disappointed on how San Antonio Spurs have been playing in this Playoffs Finals, they shouldn’t have allowed Knicks to have two game advantage over them, now I’m just wondering how they’re possibly going to turn this game around, the problem with Spurs is that they always depend on Wemby, and it’s obvious that Wemby is their talisman.

Anyways I’m expecting something different from game 3, and I’m expecting Wemby to show something different in that game, I wish this Spurs team is going to come up with a different game entirely, that shakes the Knicks team and eventually makes them scared of the Spurs team, Spurs have to find a way to tie the game.

It is not yet over, being down 0-2 is still doable as it has happened with other teams before, but going down 0-3 would likely end the series since no team has come back from that deficit.

With that said, I believe the Spurs will surprise the Knicks in Game 3 because it is necessary to extend the series. If they win Game 3 and the Knicks win Game 4, it is still not over because the Spurs can still win at home and maybe push the series to at least 6 games, or possibly even Game 7.

So Knicks fans, let us not celebrate early.

It's just a possibility that they'll be sweeping the Spurs but just as how Spurs made a good fight against the OKC, there will be some wins and hopefully that happens. But yes, this advantage of having 2-0 for the Knicks gives them the confidence and that momentum that will push them more on the next 2 games in their home court.

Having 0 - 2 on Spurs home is great advantage for Knicks.

Now that they are playing on their home there's a chance that they can able to score a sweep if they continue to play like that and try to limit the core players of Spurs.

But for sure that Spurs will not gonna allow it and they don't want to be an easy prey for Knicks. So let's see if Spurs could able to revive their chance and steal the game 3 on Knicks home.

Yes, we're expecting that the Spurs won't allow to get swept by the Knicks. But with the looks of Knicks, they've proven to be stronger as of now than the Spurs. They're unstoppable but as a Spurs fan, I'm looking forward to see Spurs still have their epic come back.

Jalen Brunson... The same shot again and bringing the win to his team!    He is really doing the best he can to carry Knicks to the championship after 50+ years.

Making it 2-0 in San Antonio is just a top work by them. I can only say that they really deserve to win the title after these results. I don't expect a total defeat for Spurs like 4-0.

But I've started seeing their chance to make a comeback much less now...

They are performing good in the finals its just that they are making mistakes in the last minute of the game, if they have executed things or the plays they are the one who are up 2-0 or the series are tied, maybe because they are too young but for sure this will be different in game three, the question is, can they manage not to collapse in the last few minutes of the quarter because they are leading with big margin so it means they can manage a win if they are focus, let us all see what will happen in game 3.

No, no, let us just base it on the final score because if we only look at the part where they could have won the game, then that is being biased.

The Knicks also made some mistakes by allowing the Spurs to come back in the 4th quarter, it is just that the Spurs were not too clutch, especially Wemby, who made a crucial turnover in the last seconds when the game was already tied, then fouled Brunson.

That was the biggest mistake, but even if they did not commit that, there was still no guarantee that they would win the game.

Knicks consist of much more experienced and mature players...
still Spurs roster is built to dominate the upcoming era. Once Wemby puts on some muscle and improves his decision making, as long as he stays healthy, they could easily win at least 3 4 rings with this squad. Honestly, just eliminating OKC was a massive achievement in itself especially considering they played exceptionally well in 2 3 of those games.

Anything is possible in life, but I don't expect the Spurs to make a comeback.
The Spurs' bench players aren't contributing as much as the Knicks' bench players.
The Spurs can only win if Wembenyama is top-notch and Champagnie and Castle contribute well alongside him.
I watched the last game; Champagnie started well but couldn't contribute to the score afterwards.
If Wemby had scored that last shot, we would be talking about something completely different now, but I think the Knicks will win the championship 4-0.

Donna Trump is supposedly going to game 3 in New York, do you think this will be good or bad for the Knicks?

[jakdanyel]

I was thinking like it wasn't the end of the world as it was only 1-0 at first. But now it's 2-0... Not only that. The next 2 games are at Madison Square Garden also!

Can Knicks turn this into even 4-0 and shock people? They have already been surprisingly good. Spurs just look desperate against a good defending so far. If they lose the 3rd game too then there wouldn't be much of a motivation left in them.

Doesn't matter, Knicks wanted to go for a 3-0 so they will have to go and show it to their fans.

On the other hand, this is a must win for the Spurs, as if they lose then slim chance for them to win this championship. Trump watching might be a boost for the Knicks as he said that he was a fan of them.

Nevertheless, it won't have any influence of the game.

In their last series against the Cavs, the Knicks swept them. So I don't think that we shouldn't be surprised if they did it again. However, just looking the Spurs right now, yes they are in a must win situation, and usually a team that in this kind of predicament will have to do everything to avoid a sweep.

So let's see how it goes for them, I still think that the Spurs can win at least one game in this series and this could be this game. And they should be taking it just one game at a  time. Who knows, maybe they can also steal back to back in Madison Square Garden to tie the series.

I wish Amazon Prime would have gotten the rights to the Finals. I’m not a fan of watching the games on my bunny ears. Sometimes I even watch on twitch and have some guy talking about the game in the corner so I don’t have to deal with the over the air stuff. Cable is no more. They should stop catering to it.

Knicks have reached Lakers' record on the longest win streak after regular season which is 8 wins. But will this fairytale of them end up with a championship as well?

That's the actual question now. Having an advantage like 2 games in a row at home can't be overlooked. They can benefit from their fans' huge support to finish the job. But I'm still not sure whether it would be 4-0.

Disney has it though, I'm not sure if rights can be applied to many of these streaming services. But I would love to see it with prime since it's cheaper in my place.

That will be historical if they beat Spurs in 5.

Exactly, NYK have that decent edge during 4th quarter but Spurs did a good run and able to tie the score and that last sequence it's a matter of doing the right decision to take the win, though we've seen the outcome and Spurs lose that opportunities, but similar to what you said, the outcome after the final buzzer is what matter most, and NYK manage to win and take game 2 in front of the home crowd of Spurs, moving forward, it's now Spurs needs that same intensity to snatch 2 games in order for them to keep this series up and still have the chance in winning the title.

I've seen post about Jeremy Lin going back to the MSG to watch the game 4 and 5 as a fan. Can someone walk me through about the issue of Linsanity and Melo? it's all over my feed and I can't remember that it had happened before when they were on the same thing in the Knicks. I wasn't just aware of that issue because that seem to be heated up on this finals by the internet fans because Melo tries to invite Lin to his podcast as well. I'm not sure if that's a good thing that the fans are bringing that up since the game 4 and 5 is on the Knicks house.

So we have lost another legend:



https://x.com/chicagobulls/status/2063670198343799000/

Part of the Chicago Jordan era, tough enforcer for them but a very solid player and won 3 rings during that time. Also, has been a member of the Bull's broadcast crew since 2006.

RIP champ.

It's a must win for either of the team. I know that every game is a must-win for both teams, but this time it's more important.
1. If the Knicks win, it will be 3-0 and we know the history already. No need to say it here.
2. If the Spurs win, they'll have a chance to make a comeback since that could give them a momentum in Game 4 to steal the game once again.

Knicks wanted to the series to be 3-0, and the Knicks' fans are one of the best when it comes to supporting their team. So great that they'll do everything, pay everything, and show everything that they're supporting their team. After all, it's been nearly 3 decades since the Knicks went to the NBA Finals so yeah it's understandable why they're like this.

I can't way for the Knicks fans to say "F*ck you WEMBY!!!!!" during the game. They did it with Trae, they also did it with CJ, and they'll do it again for Wemby. As for Trump watching, I don't see any influence of him during the game aside from the fact that maybe he just wants to have fun while his people are over there fighting with another country without any reason at all.

Stacey King, a three-time NBA champion, passed away at the age of 59. I previously knew her from her statement about scoring 70 points with Jordan. Jordan scored 69 points and King scored 1. She was a three-time champion with the Chicago Bulls, but I knew her from that quote. May she rest in peace.

As far as I can remember, it looks like Carmelo Anthony doesn't like Jeremy Lin because there were games that Carmelo was out and then Jeremy Lin takes over the Knicks, hence, the term Linsanity.

But I'm not sure if that really was the case, that Carmelo hated Lin or jealous of him as he was becoming the face of the Knicks that time. Sure fans are going to bring that kind of memories, like also in the case of Spurs comparing this team against Tim Duncan as well.

They don’t beef to each other. The problem is people keep comparing the effects when Lin was leading the Knicks offense while Melo return put the team on struggle.

This is a normal reaction for Melo since he is the face of Knicks by the time Jeremy Lin takes over due to his absence.

Even will feel a bit jealous or bad when the fans already backstabbing him after all he did.
