The power of Wu Tang.

Wow what a choke job. Is that the worst choke job in finals history? 

[Rex Buckingham]

Wow, that was insane

[Old Style]

Unbelievable

I believe the Lakers one against the Celtics in 2008 was a 24 point lead.

Would be hilarious if the Knicks win G5, meaning the only game they lost was the one that bozo in chief attended

Can't get the Sacramento Kings stink off Fox.

[Soul]

What a game.  Holy moly.

[17 Seconds]

people will do the "they'll be back, this is just the beginning" thing with the Spurs, but the stink of this series could follow them for a while

[NorthsideAvenger]

I don't want the Knicks to win but man San Antonio has no business in the NBA Finals. This game falls on Wemby. 

Just crowned the Knicks already, no chance San Antonio recovers from this ATL Falcons level choke job.

It's a split second decision but he made the wrong choice. If you have the open layup, you take it so you don't risk missing a FT. But once the defender is right there, you dribble it out.

Damn how much would i have made if I threw 10 bucks on the Knicks at halftime?

[Old Style]

Did that really happen?

I was this close to turning it off then, the Knicks went on little run to cut the deficit to 11-13.  I thought if they can get within single digits in next few minutes this could be something so, I kept watching...

Went to go sprinkle some money on the Spurs to win the series and realized they're 'only' +380. Think there's a good chance this isn't over yet.

$220 based on what my buddy who threw $1 at it told me. 😂

Friend of mine said it was 36-1 at one point.

Well we know the NBA will have Scott “The Extender” Foster on tap for Game 5 so this thing will go at least 6.

If it goes to Game 6, any Spurs fan going to MSG is taking their life into their own hands.

If it goes 6, you know who will need to be in attendance so then we get a winner take all game 7 in San Antonio.

[NorthsideAvenger]

I just saw the contract for Fox and oh boy good luck with that Spurs.

The Knicks need to give Senator Rafael Cruz tickets to Game 5. That’s sure to end the series. He’s a well known jinx in Texas. Always shows up in gear of whatever Texas team is playing inevitably to watch them lose.

I think wasting more time on the clock (especially with his speed) when it’s not an uncontested dunk is the right move.

But I was also referring to more than just that play. His foul on Alvarado (after blowing the layup) before the Knicks took their timeout was stupid clock management. . 

And he had 2-3 unforced, careless turnovers on errant passes.
