    sorry, i had to pull the data . The San Antonio Spurs hold a postseason record of 15-12 (.556) in games started by De'Aaron Fox. During the 2026 NBA Playoffs, Fox has led the team to the NBA Finals, while also boasting a 7-1 record in the clutch minutes of his postseason appearances. ............
    The Los Angeles Lakers have an 11-21 playoff record in the games Austin Reaves has played.

    The Knicks won 15 out of their last 16 playoffs games. Finished with a + 283 pt differential. The Spurs simply lost to the better TEAM.

    that data doesn’t seem correct?

    fox was just hilariously bad this series. God knows why Mitch Johnson kept letting him jack shots and run the offense.

    • ⁠Game 1: 3/13
    • ⁠Game 3: 4/14
    • ⁠Game 4: 6/16
    • ⁠Game 5: 3/15

    I highly doubt reaves would be as bad as Fox. In fact I think the Knicks should give Fox a ring!

    Brunson gets a ring and a Finals MVP before Luka. Who saw that one coming?

    A team dont go to the finals beat the champs if they dont have some level of success. only one team can win. A team can have a match up problem. NY has two bigs to body up Wemby and they also have guards to throw at fox.

    first off Fox did something Austin never did, Its not a question if Austin would be bad as fox he would have. He would have with how physical the games were. This season he already did. Game 1: 8 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists (3-of-16 shooting) In the 2026 Western Conference Semifinals, Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves averaged 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder swept the Lakers in four games, with Reaves' scoring highlighted by an 8-point dud in Game 1 and a 27-point, 6-assist effort in Game

    So Astin gt a pass for his toe and abs but Fox dont. see what i am saying?

    That you aren't fond of Austin Reaves? I think we get it.

    The old argument. I don't believe anything you say but will defend your right to say it. Of course, I am personally going to ignore you but hey, none of us get everything we want. LOL

    They choked, zero experience, they got extremely tired and tight at the end of every single game. One they survived. They will learn something from this and I think they will be tougher next year.

    spurs led by double digits in every game and still lost. that's not something you get over quickly. but even then, i expect them to be perennial title contenders for as long as wemby's healthy. harper, vassell, and castle are all still young. need to do something about fox and their moronic coaching staff if they want to actually win one though

    but what a run by the knicks. they weren't the best regular season team, but they sure got hot at the right time

    Hahaha, it’s a bit of that, and a bit of, do I have blind spots and biases that people with completely different takes unearth.

    In this instance I think I’m safe.

    San Antonio played like a team trying to get through a game after a tough loss. The New York Knicks played like a team trying to win a championship. That’s the difference. For the 4th game the Knicks straight took the game from the San Antonio Spurs. You can’t do that in the playoffs. You can’t play like that in the playoffs.

    Seeing Josh Hart who was our guy. Knicks but Lakers had him. We had a culture just like the Knicks growing. Ball Russell Ingram Randle Zubac. You just gotta ride with those guys.

    let your team gell. That’s how you win.

    So I hope we’re taking notes.


    Luka Reaves Thiero Foundational pieces.

    Ayton Hachimura a Pick. And of course Lebron.


    You gotta be patient. So I’ll be patient. My lesson is when you can get guys like Towns you get them.

    so here we are

    Luka Reaves James Thiero Bronny Hayes Ayton there might not be on the market. Thybelles and our pick.

    The Knicks have best of both bigs. Skill finesse post Karl Anthony Towns. Athletic rim runner inside defense in rebounding. Mitchell Robinson.

    Can’t believe Arod gifted the Knicks money and Karl Anthony towns. Just because Minnesota didn’t want to pay towns. Towns should still be a Timberwolf.
