Good for the Knicks winning this game too, and that's in part why it was just such a heartbreaker for the Spurs.
You get a chance to win the game on a night the officiating was in your favor, and you blow it at home after a 14-0 comeback in the fourth quarter when the Knicks collapsed.
Is there any reason to believe the Spurs are gonna come back in the series?
I don't think so.
I don't think the Spurs are gonna be able to win four out of the next five with the Knicks having three home games at Madison Square Garden, just to need to win two of them to hoist the Larry O'B.
I don't see it happening.
If there's any hope, you know, you lost just by 10 in game one, you lost just by one in game two.
You stopped pressuring Brunson down the stretch of the game during that 14-0 run.
That helped.
There's gonna be, I would think, rotation changes, perhaps lineup changes for San Antonio.
You gotta just try everything at this point.
You can't just do the same thing and expect it to be any different, 'cause by the way, Jalen Brunson could be due for a highly efficient banger of a performance too.
He very well could be due for one of those.
It might not just be KAT and Bridges and Alvarado and, and Deuce McBride and OGN and Obi and all these other guys on the Knicks.
There could be a Brunson game coming, and so I would fear that if I'm the San Antonio Spurs.
I think we might be seeing a sweep.
this feels like it very well could be '07 LeBron, where he get, he gets matched up with the San Antonio Spurs after a miraculous playoff run, beating the, the Pistons, the favorites on the way, just like Wemby beat the OKC Thunder.
It feels like that.
it just feels like that.
I just-- it just brings me right back to that time
