    Brian Windhorst: "He couldn’t move defensively that made it easier for the Knicks and offensively he was unable to get anything at one point he went 1 of 10 when he gets fatigued he starts flopping around.”

    If the Spurs lose the series, this will be a priceless photo.

    When guys don't respect their opponent, I want them to lose. The fact Victor plays for the Spurs makes it x10.

    I figured Victor would be obnoxious and greedy for wins but I did not peg him for stupid.....

    He commits stupid fouls, elbows opponents, tossing opponents around.

    Just thinking ... maybe Lebron was wrong about Mike Brown.

    De' Aaron Fox was instrumental, the crunch time of Q4, helping Spurs win game 3.

    But for game 4, it was a different story.

    https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/articl...urs-have-a-deaaron-fox-problem-061913278.html

    With 15 seconds left, with the Spurs up one,Wemby got the stop the Spurs desperately needed on the previously unflappable Jalen Brunson. But on the rebound, the ball squeaked out past half-court and Fox chased it down.
    Instead, Fox tried to lay it up over the bigger OG Anunoby and promptly got blocked by the two-time All-Defensive team wing. [​IMG]The Knicks recovered the loose ball.

    Rather than Fox, a career 75% free-throw shooter, standing at the line for two free throws to potentially go up three points, the Knicks suddenly had the ball with 5.7 seconds left and a chance to win it.​
    after a time out, w Anunoby inbounding the ball, Wemby was keying up on Brunson, 30 ft away from the basket
    after the ball was inbounded, instead of staying on his man, Fox jumped to double Brunson, which likely prompted Brunson to fire off a 3-pointer early, knowing he'd have two advantages on the chessboard, if he shot early,
    1. he'd have Wemby away from a potential game-winning rebound chance.
    2. would allow the un-guarded Anunoby to crash unimpeded to the rim now that Fox wasn't there to box him out.
    And that's exactly what happened; Brunson missed, the unboxed-out Anunoby crashed & tipped in​

    When Wemby and Castle both said that they were the better team after they lost two games at home, I thought these kids needed to learn not to publicly disrespect your opponent.

    Talking smack for fun is one thing. Sounding serious about how your opponent is not as good as you is just dumb, putting a target on your back.

    I don't know if the Spurs will turn into a dynasty. But the young guys need to eat some humble pie and pay their dues before crowning them the best.

    Probably deceiving themselves with their smack talking lmao....talking so much nonsense until it makes sense for them......

    But they are still dangerous, their firepower is unreal though, good for Knicks that they run out ammo real quickly as well.

    I have never seen something like these Spurs, they are so full of themselves that they actually win games convincing themselves that they are invincible......and they are really good team.

    Wemby just undercut Brunson on a 3 pointer. Put his foot right under Brunson as he landed. Should've easily been a flagrant but rigged ass refs didn't want to give him another flagrant which would suspend him.

    I heard people speculating about how Wemby was bound to be the best player in history…. Well we can put an end to that talk, no way Jordan would lose to this Knicks team…. Wemby sounded and acted like a sniveling Frenchie.

    Yeah man I don't think "bulletin board material" really applies in the NBA finals (and didn't they win the next game anyway?)
