this would never have happened with Pop. I've watched Pop deal with Steph flurries over the years. The moment Steph hits one, he calls a time out. Resets the team. Mitch Johnson was paralysed. No game awareness at all! De'Aaron Fox, dude, you're the vet, the point guard, the game manager...:facepalm:
Some days, I wish Pop would have announced a farewell tour and coached one last season (before handing over the team to Mitch Johnson). Pop would have went out on a high with a team like this, and most likely beats the Knicks to go out with a 6th Championship.

DeAaron Fox and the Spurs coach needs to be investigated. Both are functioning at the AAU level of basketball

DeAaron will be let go regardless, he is getting paid too much money and Harper does everything so much better including leadership.

This game mismanagement is almost as egregious as Russell Wilson throwing a pass late in the game while being on the 1 yard line with Beastmode on the team who should have ran the ball. THE FIX was in all night.. the wiseguys of Vegas made some money last night if you know what I mean.

tell me about it! Did Dylan Harper bang his daughter or something?? What the hell? He was just about the best Spurs player. Time and again he's not giving him the minutes he should get. This is the sort of nonsense Kerr sometimes does in the regular season, although in his defence the guy always nails it in the post-season

To be honest.. Pop would not be playing all those rookies.. Johnson did a great job in the regular season and in the playoffs until the Finals. He is coaching like again an AAU coach.

Nothing smells about it, some players are good/great in the regular season going against teams that play little to no defense and then just can’t handle the playoffs, much less the finals.

Glad the Knicks won and they clearly were a lot better when it mattered most. That was solid bball for today’s awful standards. Not enough to make me want to watch more than a couple playoff games here and there. Wake me up when Wembanyama plays like he’s 7’5 instead of 6’5 and maybe then I will watch more of this shit…alright, rant over :)

Agreed the better team won and the Knicks wanted it more than the Spurs. It was a team of veterans against a more athletic but undisciplined team. It’s good for basketball ..it shows a 6 feet tall person can be a champion instead of being a 7’5 alien ..I think everybody is going to have to redesign their rosters..I got to deal with all these starving azz Knicks fans. Good Grief

Brunson is the BEST pound for pound inch for inch toughest basketball player in the world. I hope he gets chosen to be on the Olympic basketball team for the USA.

Biggest choke job ever DeAaron will get run out of town..Mike Brown got his revenge because he got him fired in Sacramento
nah... that's not true. In fact their letting go of Mike Brown is what precipitated the Fox request for a trade. I think people saw the film of Brown chatting with Fox in training shortly before he was sacked an came up with nonsense.

I simply can't understand why Mitch Johnson decided to die on the "De'Aaron Fox must have the ball in his hand" hill. Even a blind man could see that Dylon Harper already is way way superior. I don't know what was worse, giving Fox vital minutes in the fourth quarter or trying to get the ball in Wemby's hands at the top of the key. Get your ass in the post! But clearly OG bullied him away from there. Wemby needs to pipe down, take the L and learn from this. It's remarkable when you look at his career he's becoming a perpetual runners up. He's 22, so he has time, but good lord! He needs to get some muscle. It's a crime that his 7ft 5 ass is almost getting out rebounded by more than one fella on the Knicks. He should have twice as many as the next person! His trainer should put a shock device in his groin area, if he tries to move away from the post, if he shoots a 3 shock is ass! He needs to spend hours shooting middies IMMEDIATELY! None of this hesitation nonsense. Ball in your hands ELEVATE! Hell with the monks, get back on court and WORK!
