  2. 6:08 Slight correction. Game 3 was the most watched "Game 3" of the NBA Finals since Game 3 of 1998. It wasn't the most watched NBA Finals game since then. Game 7 of 2016 had more eyeballs… I will say, the ratings from Game 4 could come close to that one though. And if this thing goes 6 or 7, we'll almost certainly see some ratings records broken.

  3. Come on dude you and no one else predicted that the spurs were capable of a melt down like this, I like how you say if I could lick a team that could blow a 29 pt lead I would have picked this spurs, no you didn’t , no one did, everyone thought this game was over and thinking 2-2 spurs will win series or the Knicks are in trouble now in series, it’s easy now to say in hindsight oh the spurs are young and I knew they were capable of doing something that never happened before ever

  5. At this . the team who got more to lose is NYK, SAS got the time at their side to make a dinasty from the next year on but Knicks? This could be their only window to win a title after 30y and possibly wait other 30y for another.

  9. Derrick White and Aaron Gordon to SAS. I am going to start pushing this agenda.

    Get rid of Fox, Barnes, Olynyk and Keldon Johnson and get Gordon and White and a couple of below 15 million value players… DFS? Naji Marshall? Kelly Oubre?

    The value of White now is low and Boston may be thinking of moving off him, and Gordon the same, with injuries and the impending doom of the Nuggets who just blew their last opportunity in the jokic championship window. (allegedly)..

    And maybe get Mike Malone to sub Mitch Johnson because… wow…

  12. The Knicks are the 2005 White Sox of the NBA. Nobody expected them to win the World Series. But they didn't just win they were dominant in the playoffs just lost 1 game. In their run.

  13. Give me a break! !n One of the greatest teams of all time? Hardly. If they win tonight, they may have one of the greatest playoff runs of all time. But to say they're one of the greatest teams of all time is way too early. First, they have to win consecutive titles, then, they would have to win least three out of four or five years. Plus, they would have to dominate in the regular season. I mean, the Bulls won 72 games, and then won 69 games the following season. No team has come close to matching that since then.

  15. 2:18 for the last possession, KAT gestured at two NY fans to get closer the Spurs guy making the inbound pass. The came closer and forward and they shut down a good portion of his potential passing lane. Great thinking by KAT and great execution by the 2 fans.

  16. The Ray Allen 3 hurts more than this one. This Spurs team is just a bunch of kids that aren’t ready for this moment. The coach too. He isn’t ready.

  17. Well the Lakers blown lead is still worse than the Spurs one. Cuz they: were at home, had a veteran/champion coach, veteran/chanpion star player (not a 3rd year star player and rookie head coach), and they were playing in an era where a 20+ point lead was supposed to be BLOUSES…GAME OVER, which isnt the case anymore.

  20. I don't think the Spurs are coming back at all. In all of these games the Knicks looked like the better team in almost all 4th quarters. Hate to see Wemby lose but I'm happy for the Knicks especially KAT.

  24. I love the Knicks. I can name you the entire 1999 roster, including the backups and reserves. But this isn’t an historic team like those others.

    This is a good team that peaked at exactly the right time and is going on an historic run. Closer to the 2011 Mavericks and 2004 Pistons than any of those dynastic squads.

    But if they win this year and then somehow manage to put another run together with this same group, then maybe we start talking GOAT status.

    Til then, I’m just gonna enjoy this ride!

  26. Whats not being talked about is that my knicks have inky lost by a total of like maybe 6-7 points in TOTAL throughout the ENTIRE playoff/finals run

  27. So far OG has for sure been the best player in this series. Those shooting numbers are crazy, and he does so much that doesn't get into the boxscore, and you almost never see him making bonehead plays or choking plays.

  28. The Knicks are Rocky Balboa.
    An entire team of mutts. Junkyard dogs.
    Theyre the USA hockey
    The Miracle Mets
    Joe Namath…
    Its a glorious run that i hope to replay every game from the start, beginning with the Atlanta Series.
    Storybook.

  29. This is what happens when someone feels they are entitled to greatness, rather than earning that greatness.

    Legends are not born, and they are not predestined, they are forged through effort.

  31. I don’t think there’s a single person that doesn’t except the spurs to win it all at some point and Wemby will become the best player in the NBA. They’re just kids. But This NY team is something special and I’m rlly rooting the city!
