Odds are it will be a lot more than that. They might enter next year as the favorites, but there are too many things that can happen for me to give them a 50% chance of getting back here next year.
Congrats to the @nyknicks on winning the NBA Finals! Coach Mike Brown, Finals MVP Jalen Brunson (an absolute beast!), and a tough, experienced group of players right in their prime got the job done. 👏👏
"One thing I learned is the margin of error is very, very thin. Our errors, our mistakes, are punished so hard." - Wemby on what he learned about the Finals
Wemby:
"I don't think we could have learned more and gained more experience in one playoff run and in one season. Personally, in 18 months, it's been, it's been hard and full of lessons."
Mitch Johnson: "We weren't ready to win an NBA championship. Better team won, we did a lot of good things, and we didn't finish the job, and that's what it is"
"In the Finals, with everything amplified, one mistake can cost you a game, and we had several of those." - Vassell on the difference between the Finals and regular season, where in the regular season, you can afford to make some mistakes. Not in the Finals
Mike Brown broke into the NBA as a video coordinator for the Denver Nuggets in, I believe, 1992. A scant 34 years later, he wins his first NBA title as a head coach. That man can sing whatever Baha Men song he wants. He earned it.
95% of the people on this app think managing NBA teams is like fantasy basketball. No, the Spurs are not gonna tell Fox to eff off in the middle of the series. Especially after he sucked it up on a bad ankle to help them make the Finals. They seem to believe in the guy.

500-IQ intentional loss by Coach Mitch Johnson 🧠
-Knew Wemby would be suspended for game 6 in New York and decided to lose tonight to stop them from winning in front of their home crowd
-Prevents NY residents from further attempting murder on Spurs fans
-Saves multiple lives knowing we will win 5 consecutive championships starting next year
