The Knicks better not win this.

I don't think they will unless SA is just so spent from the OKC series that they can't get back to their top level. Last night was a weird game, it felt like SA was the better team for most of it but they had a few lapses and Brunson got hot.

If rest isn't an issue I think they'll win somewhat easily, even if it takes 7.
 
Who the hell put that music to it though? :doh

Before the Finals started I was interested in seeing how much intensity the Spurs would bring to the table vs the Knicks. Mainly because it's well known that Wemby absolutely hates Chet Holmgren. It's easy to stay locked in and play with fire when you're fueled by hate for your opponent. But the 'hate' element is absent in this series and we're seeing the results....Wemby's going large chunks of the games looking disengaged.

Plus it also matters that the Spurs are finally playing a healthy opponent. Both the Timberwolves and Thunder had significant injuries to multiple starters and star players. And even with the health advantage the Spurs still allowed OKC to push them to the final 2 minutes of Game 7. That told me that the Knicks were going to give them more trouble than people thought they could.

It was such a weird series between the Thunder and Spurs. At one point, OKC had won 3 of 4 and I thought they had it.
