The San Antonio Spurs screwed up the Knicks’ 13-game-winning streak, but that won’t really matter so long as the Knicks pull this one off tonight.
A 3-1 lead, with Game 6 back in the Garden as a backup? That would be such a back-breaker that I would truly expect for the Knicks to just take it in five if they break the Spurs’ back tonight.
Mike Brown fought for his team with the refs, and that will hopefully bring about a closer called game tonight. Heck, maybe the KNICKS can get the benefit of the call tonight, and maybe the SPURS can get into foul trouble for a change.
The Spurs did a nice job both A. adjusting to the Knicks, but, more importantly, B. going to the basket a lot more. Hopefully the young, dumb Spurs will forget to do that in Game 4, and the Knicks can start more fast breaks on the Spurs’ bricks, as the Spurs brick so many shots.
It would be nice if the Knicks don’t fall behind double digits in the first quarter again. The Spurs fall apart as the game goes on and their energy tails off, so not being down 10 when that happens would be a huge help. At the end of close games, the Spurs often look like no one knows what a set play is, so I would definitely feel good about the Knicks if it is a close game late, but I wouldn’t mind the Knicks blowing them out, too.
Let’s go, Knicks!
Just two more wins to go!
Fuck Wemby!
Let’s.
Fucking.
GO.
