To be honest, it's a miracle the Spurs even came back in this game.

The team ball the Knicks are playing is outstanding.

Reminds me a little of the 2011 Mavs

Beyond the 4th quarter of game one, JB hasn't even played all that well. Knicks team ball is amazing when you can have a guy like Landry Shamet killing you. Consistency and experience are beating out the Spurs youth. MSG is going to be nuts.

He's been banged up, but I try not to use that excuse.
The Spurs have been pounded too - going that full 7 game series with OKC.

The job is far from done, but wow, getting two road victories to start the Finals for the Knicks is huge.

I just give JB a hard time since I sports hate him for justifiably leaving the Mavs. Luka and JB in the same draft and we turned them into air. Mark Cuban is was the worst owner in Dallas sports. I think the series over. Wemby, Castle and Harper just aren't ready yet, but they have a bright future. If Wemby is smart, he gets with Dirk and works on a post game. He doesn't even need the kickstand because of his size, but he often looks as ineffectual as Porzingis on the block.

KAT, the self proclaimed "best shooting big ever" being finals MVP is going to be a hard pill to swallow.

The Mavs have a bright future too, with ROTY Coop, new management, and some solid draft potential.

Everything you said about Wemby is on point, plus I think he needs to add on a little more muscle.

We spent so much draft capital putting that team around Luka and then Nico "basketball terrorist" didn't recuperate any of it with the worst trade in sports history. We don't control picks until the 2030s. They have to hit on #9 this year. Flagg is going to be good, looks a bit like a baby dear on ice on offense but is effective. I was expecting more on defense, but the team was atrocious and he is a rookie. They have a long road to hoe before they'll be in contention, but maybe the Spurs/Thunder will age/contract out by then.

Spurs are going to be fun. I really like Castle and Harper. Dogs on defense and offense. Can't believe I'm cheering for a Spurs team. I need a shower.
