And for what it's worth, the Knicks didn't play a single start to finish great came in the Finals like they did in the playoffs. This was not because the Spurs were so great either...
-- shots just weren't falling, even for Kal and Bridges who were lights out for three rounds
-- the refs (league) were not letting them play their game...still seems they didn't want the Knicks to embarrass and break to the newly anointed and his teammates
But the Knicks, these Knicks, were not to be stopped. Yes, the Spurs lost as well as being beaten, but mostly because the Knicks would NOT quit. Their mentality and game plan were to get stops and sink shots. They fought like hell to make that happen against all odds. It's not just a maturity issue, it's a constitutional issue. The Knicks are made of sterner stuff than the Spurs. Underrated, underestimated, even dismissed by assumptions and entitlement. I wouldn't be surprised in the Spurs implode. There's a blueprint on stopping Wemby, and he pissed off the top opponents in the west...they won't go easy on him next season. Might it be better for Harper's career to not be partnered with Frenchy McFuchface?
Anyway, still obsessed with this team and them bringing a chip back to NY.
