Play Nice The Bigfooty Official 2026 Spurs vs Knicks NBA FINALS thread (nee Playoffs)

[Jibroni]

Cavs choked that quarter. Need to stop giving Harden the ball.

 

[Nicho50]

Can't believe this game.

 

[srobbo]

Cavs stopped playing hard with about 7 mins left & the Knicks walked straight through the door

It’s not over yet big 3 from the Cavs there.

 

[stewie griffen]

This is the most Harden game of all time

 

[NSWCROW]

Yeah forget what i said about it going 7

Cleveland just fried itself

 

[NSWCROW]

Wemby v Knicks dream scenario for the networks

 

[Gift]

lol that was insane how Atkinson didnt make the adjustment when Knicks were targeting Harden non stop until the 20+ lead become nothing.

 

[Gift]

Neither of these teams have a chance anyways. Real final is the other series.

 

[Nicho50]

44-11 run since 7 mins left in the last.

CAPTAIN CLUTCH IS ALL

 

[carlton_99]

Jalen "Not 1A" Brunson! Bridges and Shamet awesome on both ends. Down 22 with 7.38 left in the game. This team is something else.

It was a smart play by the knicks tho... target Harden and then his ego will overplay and turn it over non stop in clutch time

Blue print is there. We let the Cavs get what they wanted in the 2nd and 3rd.
Limit Spida and put the heat on Harden and Mobley.

Took it away from them in the last and they couldn’t get a look.

 

[NSWCROW]

Inside the NBA did Cade dirty on " Gone Fishin' " lol

Come on, mannnn

 

[Gak Attack]

Lol wtf I turned it off.

 

[Nicho50]

Can't really complain with 2 OT games from 2 conference finals can we? Oddly they were both sent to OT at 101 -101.

 

[hamG]

44-11 run since 7 mins left in the last.

Every few days we have another contender for worst performance in playoff history.

 

[stewie griffen]

Jalen "Not 1A" Brunson! Bridges and Shamet also awesome on both ends. Down 22 with 7.38 left in the game. This team is something else.

Both ends?

Brunson was able to hide in the corner every play and the cavs refused to run any action to put him on ball

Both ends was in relation to Mikal and Shamet not Brunson. Probably just worded it badly

It very well could happen but this time last year people were saying Thunder are going to be unbeatable for 5 years plus etc and literally within 12 months there is 1 team that has already caught up to them and may very well go ahead of them.

There's a difference between being unbeatable as opposed to being very difficult to beat in a 7 game series. I think most people have been saying the latter.

So many things can happen in sport, if Wemby goes down for an entire season or a post season would the Spurs still be miles better off than a Denver or Timberwolves for example?

Of course injuries can happen, that applies to any team in the league. We're assuming reasonable health here.

And unless we're talking catastrophic, career-altering injury, neither team is going to have their rosy long-term outlook quashed, it'd be a short-term setback.

Draft picks don't always work out either.

No, but they are a very cost effective way of adding help and replacing lost talent if you have good scouting.

If Giannis landed at the Wolves with Ant Man they would be a massive shot at competing with Spurs/Thunder. Hell even on the East side Giannis or a big name could end up at a Atlanta or even Charlotte and all of a sudden they are right up there.

Sure. But that's not taking into account the opportunity cost it takes to land Giannis, nor does it factor in his age or health.

Teams that sacrifice their depth and future assets to land a star like Giannis are MORE susceptible to the injuries that you brought up. If Minny traded for Giannis, they'd be far more on the clock than the Thunder or Spurs.

Spurs and Thunder like you said might be set up to do this for a long time but can they sustain it. If OKC don't win this year are they really in dynasty talk?

I don't know what to make of these last two sentences, they don't make sense at all.

 

[Nicho50]

I don't know what to make of these last two sentences, they don't make sense at all.

Yeah sorry probably worded that wrong, I just don’t see it as doom and gloom for the rest of the West. I feel like it’s an overreaction at this stage.

[fidstar]

Spurs have lost 3 times in their last 41 games when Wemby plays more than 15 mins

 

[Richard Cranium]

At what point do guys like Starks and Marbury get booted for constantly going out onto the court during play? They were taking the piss down the stretch.

 

[Deliverance]

I loved the concept behind his shoes.
