Taj Gibson: "Go down the line:
Cleveland?
Got swept
Need some toughness
I don't see them matching up
Philly?
Could be
But it's a whole new team
Boston?
Did they really get better
to beat the Knicks?
I don't think so
I see the Knicks getting back
They're proven, tough
That group went thru so much
And now you got a taste
Of champagne & winning?
Oh it's over"
Wemby was mocking the Knicks while San Antonio was up 29.
OG Anunoby took this personally.
He proceeded to put up 33 points, 4 boards, 1 block, 1 steal, on 66/77/100 shooting splits. Plus a chase-down block on Fox in the final 15 seconds.
Then the tip-in with 1.2 left that completed the largest comeback in Finals history.
Every other team in the league cowered away from Wemby. OG went right at him.
“You celebrate the Olympics like everyday”
“With a broken freakin’ neck”
“YOU ARE DONE”

Knicks Twitter every summer:
2024: What! We traded Julius Randle for Karl Anthony Towns?! He too soft for New York! How will we ever replace “Big Ju”?! We’re cooked!!!
2025: What!? It’s been 2 days since we fired Thibs & still don’t have a new head coach!?!? This FO is clueless! We’re cooked!!!
2026: What!? Mitchell Robinson might leave in free agency & prime Wilt Chamberlain isn’t an option to replace him??? We’re cooked!!!!
I swear to god I’ll never forget you @23savage____
Your willingness to sacrifice
Your ability to overcome adversity
Your tenacity on the boards
Your intensity on defense
Your value beyond the box score
Your loyalty
I’m forever grateful
"Let's play basketball now. Be smart. Stick together. We've come back from worse. Chip away"
