@ESPNNBA Knicks played 3 teams in a row that had 7 games series and they had extra days of rest.
Then they played a team with no experience in their starters and a newbie, scared head coach.
It's highly unlikely this will happen again next year.
@awfulannouncing The Knicks were trailing 72% of the time and won bc the Spurs youth, inexperience, and horrible coaching.
They barely led. They never blew out the Spurs. That didn't dominate. They just didn't suck under 2 mins left like the Spurs did
@ButchCalloway@FTFonFS1@getnickwright LeBron went out waaay worse in his 1st finals. Wemby had decent numbers but everyone expected him to dominate every game.
If LeBron played half way decent they could have won.
Also Nick has to ๐ฉ on Wemby. This is what Klutch teaches to do on any threat to LeBron.
@PatMcAfeeShow@RichPaul4 Rich Paul is a liar. Klutch is a liar. LeBron is a narcissist. It's game 5 of NBA finals and LeBron and his media has spent the whole playoffs talking about him.
10 teams do not want LeBron. He's old, cost too much and a defensive liability and ruins team chemistry. GTFOH
@eggert_charles@lifeisjustvices Shaq literally swung at Charles Barkley and Brad Miller and had many moments of retaliation. You must either be blind or just speak out without thinking.
@FTFonFS1@getnickwright He performed just like LeBron, missed game winner and blunder at the end.
Only difference is Wemby didn't blame his teammates and say he "always makes the right decision".
@coinr2014@thenotorious617 He's a legit player. Comes up big. And is shifty and very smart with his body position and shot creativity.
And he's got an 8 footer protecting the paint and many taller guards hounding him.
His % will struggle this series. Let's see what he can do...
@MandoVice@thenotorious617 Brunson will have low fg % the whole series. He can't rely on layups with Wemby.
Far less likely Wemby struggles again being 8ft tall and knowing he's gotta start in the paint and at the top of the key 1st.
Defense leads to offense. It's simple
@TeutonSF@FTFonFS1@getnickwright Gotta make the public believe these are 2 heavy weights about to go 7 games.
In reality we all know the WCF was the championship and this is just a formality.
@Gabriel979911@FTFonFS1@getnickwright@knicks I've seen the Knicks players as a team of 2nd options.
All there previous teams they were 2nd or 3rd options and now come together to form the 2026 Knicks
