@NBA_NewYork No KAT, no ring. Like someone else, it felt like Brunson was trying to take over the game to solidify him getting the Finals MVP trophy. Just play team basketball, man! NBA Championship is the primary objective
Spurs players quotes this NBA Finals:
- “We gave them those games”
- “It's almost not like I have anything to figure out. It's almost like I have to play normal, not even good”
- “We’re the better team”
- “First off I’m trying to win for myself”
Knicks players quotes this NBA Finals:
- “We’re gonna fight until the end, they’re a really good team, they made a run but we’re gonna fight until the end”
- "Hope has been brought back to the city. But the word success hasn't been seen. We have to fight to bring that word back to fruition”
- "We can't just be satisfied with that. We have a long way to go. We have a lot of things we can do to be better”
- "We don't care too much about the winning streak. All that's in the past. To us, it's 0-0. Take it one game at a time. Our most important game is the next game”
The difference between mindsets is night and day.
@zebraonice@AJ_SMG@LegionHoops Where do you think all those people go once they leave the streets where the watch party is taking place? The bars. Those people are staying home and watching on tv now. Bars are def losing some income here
DEJA VU 🤯
▪️ Game 1: Puts New York up 6 with 37.8 left
▪️ Game 2: Ties the game at 104 with 39.3 left
Jalen Brunson delivers nearly identical clutch buckets as the Knicks go up 2-0 in the NBA Finals!
I still can't believe the Knicks won a Finals game on the road in which they only shot 5 free throws in the second half and they had to use a challenge just to get 3 of them.
