re: NBA Finals game 1: tbirdspur’s Spurs vs jerrydonggobbler’s Knicks 7:30 ABC

Looked like they moved the 2 Big Boob ladies down the row out of the camera view when they zoom in on the coach.

Karl Anthony Towns wasn’t fuvking around early, while Brunson & OG got their shite together. Once that happened Spurs was fuvked,

NBA coaches are ridiculous sometimes, Champpagine had 15 points in 1st half, he got how many looks in second half? And Harper should start and never come of the floor.

Wemby still has a ways to go on offense

I went from being calm and cool for most of the playoffs to arse clenched now. I think I didn’t expect them to get by OKC, and once they did, I felt great. This whole year was house money…until now.

If I’ve learned one thing from following the NBA, it’s much easier to just be a college basketball fan.

In the tourney you’re lucky if it’s stressful for two games. In the NBA it’s two months! It’s a damn mental grind.

It's still house money regardless. Spurs aren't even supposed to be here. WAY ahead of schedule. Just feels massive because the stakes are higher.

Correct. Far from a finished product. Most aren't at 22, even the basketball prodigies. Still needs a few signature moves against different defensive looks.

What’s does this even mean? WTF, if the team believes this, they’re toast.

So you think Knicks are “supposed” to be here?

There has only been one team in NBA history to win a title as you.g as they are and that was 1977. And there's multiple reasons for that: Endurance, team makeup, understanding the game, etc. MJ, Lebron, Curry, etc. all took years after getting drafted before winning their first title. The only one that didn't was Duncan really and he had 3 years in college to polish up.

Spurs were expected to be anywhere from a 6 seed to a play in team based in preseason expectations. They really weren't supposed to be playing in the Finals. Even after the December games against OKC, no expected them in the Finals now. Not with 3 players under 23 playing significant minutes. Only Barnes and Olynk has ever been in a Finals before and neither play significant minutes.

Team obviously doesn't believe this as they've been saying at all preseason, but there's a reason why its only happened once.

If the Spurs lose game 2 the series is over. The season has been great for getting experience and next year should be ready for prime time after more corrections to the roster ( ie getting a true Power Forward either in the draft or in free agency).

Shout-out to the Knicks they came in and smoked us at home.
