After reviewing Game 3 with my crew and three experts, Spurs in 6 was the call.
The officiating in MSG was a disgrace. Game in New York, President Trump courtside, refs did everything in their power to hand the Knicks the win. Good thing the Spurs fought through the evil and won anyway.
I said don’t let the Spurs steal one. They stole one. This series is over. Prepare for next season. The Spurs know exactly who they’re dealing with. Fake contenders.
I told you the Knicks would lose Game 3 because choking is in their DNA. 50 years without a ring is not a coincidence, it’s a condition. They are chokers.
Funny how that fluky cute 13 game run ended the exact moment they faced a real team.
The Spurs didn’t let two fluke losses shake them. That’s called a real contender.
The real Mikal Bridges is back. That fake superstar run was fun for Knicks fans. It’s over now. Back to default settings.
Brunson’s body language told the whole story. He knows he’s about to choke a 2-0 lead. KAT was staring at him with disgust, like he was looking at the most overrated player in the league.
Meanwhile the Spurs looked confident, relaxed and locked in from the moment they arrived. That’s what a real contender looks like.
One more year without a championship. At some point Knicks fans have to accept this is just who they are. It’s okay to know your place among the big boys.
Put your savings on the Spurs. Series is over.
Spurs in 6.
Victor Wembanyama after finding out a Spurs fan was attacked by Knicks fans in New York after Game 3:
“I didn’t know that. My thoughts, of course, is that, I mean, we can’t forget it’s a game. We’re just playing a game out there. And I am all for passion, but to the respect of each other. It’s unacceptable.”

@Mayor_GOJ “Harassed”?
Harassed is hearing somebody yell “Ah-ha, your Spurs stink!” at you.
This is a wee bit more than harassed you’re seeing here.
You really need to tell your constituents that nothing is worth the risk of entering New York City. And to definitely avoid the MSG area.
"Get your people in check."
Senator Rolando Gutierrez @RolandForTexas sends a message to New York Mayor @ZohranKMamdani after watching videos of Spurs fans getting attacked.
"Knicks fans received nothing but respect and hospitality in San Antonio."
BREAKING: As Donald Trump was being booed in New York, James Talarico was out at the bars in Texas having an amazing time with Spurs fans and supporters. This is the difference between Trump and Democrats like Talarico. People actually like us.
History will be made tonight if the Spurs win. Never in history has the road team won the first four games of any NBA Finals.
Knicks should be concerned since Mike Brown still hasn’t found an answer for the three Slash Brothers.
Ever since Mitch Johnson unleashed De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle together late in Game 2 to help erase that big Knicks lead in the closing minutes, the Knicks have struggled to contain the constant downhill pressure.
When one sits, the other two keep attacking. When all three share the floor, the defense is forced into impossible choices.
Johnson has essentially thrown 107 combined minutes of Fox, Harper, and Castle at New York over the last two games, and the cumulative effect is obvious.
The Knicks can complain about whistles all they want, but aggressive slashers tend to draw fouls when they’re constantly living in the paint. Duh!
What’s most impressive is the versatility. Take away one and the other two attack. Help on the drive and someone else gets downhill. There isn’t an obvious adjustment.
The formula we first identified as the key to unlocking this series has played out almost exactly as expected.
Now the question is whether Mike Brown has a counter tonight 'cause finding one in 48 hours against this trio is a lot easier said than done.
