Had to revisit the Mccain trade just now. What a dumb move by Morey.

Oh, the thoughts running through my head last night. I can't even wish for Morey to be fired anymore and it's pointless to wish for him to be fired twice.Originally Posted by Mitri

We’ve gone from the Landry Shamet game to the Landry Shamet series.
Another team from the East broken by the Knicks. 5 more wins to go…
lol Cavs were lucky to get past Detroit. Knicks haven’t broken anything. They are just better.
What would you say.....ya do here?
I actually think the Cavs were genuinely better than the Pistons in the end, but the Knicks are on another level, plus game one pretty clearly changed the complexion of the series.
I think most people think the West will run away with it vs. the Knicks, but I don't know, they've been impressive these playoffs.

Most of the conference finals have been completely unwatchable.

I do think the Knicks have a chance, but their best chance is the SA/OKC series goes 7 games and they beat the absolute snot out of each other. They also probably shouldn't sweep the Cavs either tho, although you don't lose games on purpose either.
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor!
A well-rested Knicks team against a battered OKC/SA should be a hell of a series.

You were right - OKC was hanging on by a thread and got exposed in the last few games. I guess if you are trying to win a conference title you need more than one primary scorer. The Thunder really missed J Dubs, who was reduced to a decoy role for much of this series. Chet had an all-time pitiful game last night as well. Dort looked old. SGA's game becomes one-dimensional with minimal spacing and a lack of a transitional game.
Congrats to the Spurs, this team has a lot of grit. Fox looked good last night and the other vets - Johnson, Kornet - showed up in big moments. Wemby and Harper didn't blink - hard to believe they are 22 and 20, respectively.
A rematch of the 99 Finals, the last time the Knicks were there. Should be fun.

Looking forward to this series. I want the Knicks to keep rolling. If they shoot threes at a good percentage, they will. Please stem the tide of this Wemby worship that could inundate the NBA if not controlled.
De’Aaron Fox versus Mike Brown. Sacramento days will not be forgotten.
Stephon Castle matched up with OG. Is OG quick enough to cover guards?
Towns will need to guard Wemby and be physical in that assignment. And he needs to shoot more threes.
Who will Brunson cover - Champenie?

I think we’ll see an OG/Townes tag team on Wemby. No need to waste Anunoby on Vassel or Castle.
Plenty of options for Brown to mix in. Hopefully Robinson isn’t compromised. I think Shamet needs another good series. Townes will need to get his perimeter game going early in games, too.
Spurs are in the Finals! The king is dead. Long live the king! Congratulations to the Knicks and the Spurs fans out there.

My favorite NBA team to watch play was that Spurs team that dismantled Lebron and Wade in five games. Probably the best basketball I have ever seen played by a team was in that championship series. Just incredible basketball by Duncan , Ginobili , Parker & the boys. I LOVED that team. Hoping for a repeat against the Knicks.
