Yeah he’s a brat, and an arrogant douche bag. also he’s overrated because he’s a freak of nature with his hight if this guy was 6’9” he probably wouldn’t even be in the league . The reality is he’s a taller KP. He’s too skinny, and even though he recovers well because of his length. We all saw what towns and big country Mitch did to him when he was on offense. It wasn’t like he was just missing shots he normally makes . They gave him hell physically, and he’s too inconsistent because he hasn’t reached his physical peak. In my opinion he’s still 3 to 5 years away from that … unless injuries take a hold, which is very possible for a guy with his stature . The guy looks like skin and bones, He looks like he could crumble with one wrong move. Honestly I’m surprised he hasn’t blown out his knees with how he tries and moves .

He puts the ball on the floor way too much for a guy his size and he’s sloppy with his handle. He’s not a consistent 3 point threat because of his lack of strength and it’s easy to get physical and push him to shoot uncomfortable and difficult shots that are low percentage shots.

Again the media fails to say what a great job we did on defense, instead it’s labeled as he had an off night …

The way I see it is if we continue to play him the way we played him last night he will have 3 more off nights, it will be because of our tenacious defense… we match up probably the best out of any team in the league vs Wemby . Towns not only held his own defensively he over powered him on offense, blowing by him multiple times .. in the playoffs towns has become the best center in the playoffs … this staff and team have tapped his full potential. And it’s unstoppable.

Knicks in 4, not even a 7’5” skinny alien is getting in our way . KNICKS IN 4 !!! This team is on a historic mission and even on a night we are rusty we still win by 10. The rust is off, tomorrow this team takes another step in the mission. I fully believe we will win in 4 .

If I may summarize your sentiments succinctly:

Wemby is getting exposed on both ends. (Pause)
And I don’t see a solution for him, outside of just more experience.
His knees and tendons are accustomed to his weight.
His agility is high because of his weight.
He’s injury free because of his……you get the point.

If he gains weight and continues to play the same way, he will be an injury risk. Just ask KP.
At this weight he’s too light on the block. Has no post up game.
And when he steps out the paint to contest 3s spurs have zero rim protection.

I believe the spurs lost after their celebration against OKC. Now they are getting a dose of reality. The reality is we are destined to win a chip this year. It’s our best chance and best opportunity. And I love how our leaders are all business. No smiles until the job is done!

LETS GO

I don’t know why but when I see stats like this I wonder what Thibs is thinking. I’m not a thibs hater and think he gave it his all but when he sees stats like this does he look at the Knicks and find areas where he can learn or does he just shrug it off.

The fact that we now look forward to KAT and JB being on the floor together is the mother-of-all 180s

tonight will probably be the toughest W to pull out these entire playoffs. Because SA going into MSG down 0-2 is a death sentence and they know it. I cannot even begin to imagine what MSG will be like for game 3. So if we can somehow pull this out tonight then wow, we may just sweep.

It’s funny to hear that the spurs will adjust. But what they aren’t saying is we figured them out in the 3rd and we are going to adjust as well. we will not be rusty, like in game one, Knicks win big go up 2-0 going back to the garden. KNICKS IN 4

I’d be shocked if Wemby was trying to play point forward again the entire game. That was just asinine.

The way they use him in general is mind blowing . Watching a 7’5” freak try and put the ball on the floor is fantastic… I hope he continues to think he’s a guard . We will end up with multiple steals leading to easy buckets.

They gave effort game one all the same. The issue is that Knicks aren't going to just let them do as they please. Public has been disillusioned all playoffs that all these teams that the Knicks faced have had a choice in the matter.

Knicks are the better *team* with veteran experienced players. Without ref help they're "gonna get this work". Spurs had a 14pt lead with 6 mins left in the 3rd and proceeded to get walked down and outscored 54-30 the rest of the game. When Knicks were up 14-7 early Spurs got 4 fouls to kill Knicks momentum and going into the half Spurs had 12 FT attempts to the Knicks 1.

you're right to an extent, good points. And wow 54-30 against that team on their own floor is a helluva run.

we need to do a better job of boxing out their guards

also I might be wrong but I think our situation is much simpler. Either Wemby will be guarding KAT tight in high post to try and disrupt passing, or he will guarding Josh and sagging to help. That seems to be it. I'd like to think we have tricks up our sleeve for each

KAT being able to guard Wemby was huge as it allows OG to guard someone more dynamic

I actually feel good about tonight as long as we don't have Tony Brothers as a zebra. Got to clean up some stuff and just keep it close cause we are a 4th quarter team and have the best closer in the league. So surviving the initial first punch by San Antonio will be key. Wemby should be better but need to address Harper and Champagie. And we need to keep them off the offensive glass.
