2026 NBA Season

[MK-74]

Game 3 of the Finals will be played tonight. New York Knicks lead the series 2–0 and have a very good chance of extending that lead to 3–0.
With a victory in front of their home fans, they would move extremely close to winning the championship.
I think the Knicks will avoid any major mistakes and win the game.

For San Antonio Spurs, everything could be decided tonight. If they lose, they could effectively lose their championship hopes and would then need something close to a miracle to come back in the series.
We will also see tonight whether Victor Wembanyama can make up for the mistakes he made in Game 2.

We know that it's hard to do a come back and straight win in the finals. So if the Knicks win tonight and makes it 3-0 for them.
The Spurs are unlikely to win the next games or if they do, maybe only one of it.
It's a numbers game and their fatigue of how they've lost with the consecutive games factor a lot for the championship.
But we see that many ships to see them win this game 3.

LeBron is the only person to ever come back from 3-1 in the Finals. I don’t think Wemby has any chance of coming back from 3-0. I think he will have a rough time trying to come back from 2-0, but now that they’ve gotten some rest and the mistake from last game is behind them, I think we’ll see what the series is really all about tonight.

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.

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.

I am still not sure about that or it's the fans that are heating the situation between the two. AFAIK, these legends are having no beef to each other when they're already done with the professional careers they did. While Carmelo Anthony never had a ring but he's got a lot of individual achievements. What's good with Lin is that he's got a ring before he completely retires from the NBA. Although that's not with the Knicks but he's also teamed up with Kobe at some point and his interaction with him also became viral.

It's a win or burst game for the San Antonio Spurs tonight, without how both games went, I don't think there is any doubt that they can get a win, but they'll have to play a 48 minutes basketball regardless of how well they start the game, the Knicks aren't going to go away like OKC Thunder in a couple of their blowout wins, so they need to keep that mentality and not start feeling like the job is done because of good early start, they had that in the first 2 games and couldn't sustain it.

I agree, it needs the whole 48 minutes, otherwise it's going to be very hard to come back from 0-3 deficit and win the title. They have a good chance to tie it in game 2, but I guess their inexperience finally shows up in the bad time.

But let's see how it goes, as fans, we are hoping that they can extend the series and we don't want to see a sweep. They could still make adjustments and Wemby and the rest of the gang will have to bring their A-game in MSG.

In each of the 3 matches so far in this series (tonight inclusive), the San Antonio Spurs have always had a decent early lead which I think they just need to keep playing the same way and not go out of character, of course, it is expected for the Knicks to always make their run and throw punches as well, but the Spurs don't need to make the run an easy job for them, either by bailout fouls or cheap live ball turnovers especially when Wemby is on the bench.

Facts, they are always gas out on 2nd quarter onwards then do a rally on the last quarter that always fall short. I admit that Knicks bench is doing a good job to give a good rest for the Knicks starters.

I hope Spurs will bounce back again on the 2nd half since Knicks demolished them on 2nd quarter alone.

Spurs is leading 10+ when I’m watching the first quarter. I just stop watching for a while to cook breakfast and then boom, Knicks is leading. TF.

The San Antonio Spurs stepped up and got their biggest win of the year at Madison Square Garden in front of President Trump. Wemby had a good game but not the monster night I wanted to see. They’ve been getting better each game… The Knicks have a little something to be worried about now. Their first loss in 15 games I think…

[mrquackquack]

Dude they beat the Knicks in front of Donna... What a bunch of trash..

It’s so exhilarating to witness an epic comeback from the Spurs. This is what I’m talking about for them during game 1 and 2 that they have a good late game performance but this time they managed to finish successfully.

Knicks bench is not productive this time especially Shamet which is the big factor for Knicks win the past.

Reverse sweep upcoming. 🧹

I think it just played out the same way it could have actually played out in the first two games it the San Antonio Spurs didn’t beat themselves down the stretch in those games, they were pretty close to doing the same tonight as well, that’s not to underplay the Knicks performance in both games btw.

The bench unit for the Knicks didn’t do too well today and they’ve been one of the reasons for the Knicks success in the first two games too, the none-Brunson minutes were much more of a struggle today that it was over the the first two games, anyways the series is back back to being an open one, and which is a good one for the neutrals that wants as many games as possible in this series.

I guess that streak will have to end as some point, so good to see that the Spurs are back in this series with that classic win. But still not over yet, they need to steal another game at the garden to even if up and give them a chance to win the title.

Not that much, but still a win is a win for the young Spurs. And they are improving game by game. I think the Knicks is still not going to worry though, they still are one game up but the next game will be a decider.

Yes, and I thought that if this game goes into OT, the Spurs might be tired already so it's important not to get into that. OG's 3's from the corner give some glimpse of a comeback for the Knicks. But it was not enough though, still a lot of things to improved for the Spurs specially in the dying minutes.

I'm seeing that Fox should really be the polarizer in this game, he needs to step up even more to help Wemby and the young team. But with this win, it's enough for them to have the confidence back in the series.

Spurs aren't giving up. Wemby and Brunson were the top scorers in this game. New York has been winning games because of their excellent scoring distribution and the good scoring contributions from their bench players. This game was no different, but this time Wemby also received good scoring support from the Spurs, and they won 111-115, taking a 2-1 lead in the series.

The game in two days is crucial for the Spurs. If they lose, the series will be 3-1, making a comeback difficult. I think the Knicks will win the next game.

Alien Sighted in the Maddison Square Garden.

San Antonio Spurs gave a tremendous performance, I was impressed with the young players, they’re just a team full of talented young players, and now I understand why Wemby said he was born for this type of Challenge.

Spurs aren’t giving up just yet, this playoffs finals is going to go to the wire, I have been expecting something special from Spurs.

Wemby is a genius and an Alien, he put in a show with that performance, 32 PTS, 8 REB, 6 AST, that is a spectacular performance from Wemby, and he hit a dagger on New York Knicks.

Stephon Castle was also excellent with his Performance in the Fourth Quarter, I was really impressed with his performance as well.

Now it’s time for a comeback and to win the series, Spurs have to comeback to 2-2 in the next game, Spurs and Wemby are ready for the Challenge.

Go Spurs !!!

Can we say now that the outcome of the Spurs in each game will depend on the performance of Wemby?

Games 1 & 2? Atrocious performance, and even though he scored more than 20 points, he shot poorly though. In Game 3, he scored 32 points, but he also shot 11/18 from the field, and he's more active now in the paint than in the 3-pt area which he supposed to be doing in their first 2 games. Let's not forget the other 5 Spurs players as well who contributed on offense scoring double digits.

On the other hand, Brunson had an awful shooting yet again just like in the first 2 games, and now let's criticize the dude for shooting more than a quarter of their total shots. Yes, he's their superstar, but in this game, Anunoby shot better and KAT? He's missing in action scoring only 11 points in 10 attempts. Bridges? Scoring only 2 points after the heroic Game 2 performance. Shamet only scored 3 points as well. The offense is nowhere for the Knicks in this game.

Imagine paying more than $3000 to see your team playing, and they ended up losing. Well, the Spurs are still alive, and like what I said, this could be the start of the momentum shift. The Spurs are capable of winning on the road, so it isn't surprising that they won this time. They need one more to tie the series.

Spurs managed to hang on as they win the game in front of NYK's homecrowd, same with what you observe, Wemby and Brunson are the highest score in each respective team, both shows up and help their team in terms of their offensive capabilities, and just like what you said, Wemby get that extra lift from hi teammates to keep that distance and win the game.

Game 4 is again another crucial game for both teams, Spurs will try to tie the series while for NYK, they need to win the game to keep the homecourt advantage and possible to have that extra edge as we know that having a 3-1 advantage do have a better chance to win the title.

i was pulling for the New York Knicks to win but I was wrong. personally, i think the Knicks is making a mistake by building their entire system around Brunson. Spurs could have put the game away much earlier if they had been more accurate from beyond the arc. on the bright side, it made the series more competitive, which is great.

They were able to hold their ground against the knicks this is what im talking about they needed to have a go to player in the last few minutes of the game, because the knicks are like wolves they will keep on coming, Fox, Castle make a crucial shot of the game, but they still young when it come to the moments, they seems to be in a hurry even though they have the lead, experience players will try to hold the ball or dribble it out, they needed someone to teach them more, if they still do this in game 4 they might lose the game, the knicks are easily being able to blow by them in crucial plays.
