thatdude2 Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago He predicted the Spurs in 6 due to the NBA not wanting a short series (which he believes the Spurs would have swept the Knicks). Experience matters in the NBA playoffs (when facing a healthy team). 2 Quote
Alex Butler Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago You never go full Aggie. I believe he was right the Spurs judt blew the $hit outta their diaper in G4 and got in their heads for G5. Quote

hookem1014 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Youth played a role for sure, but I think Mike Brown deserves a lot of credit making adjustments throughout the series. Plenty of teams would have folded especially in game 4. Quote

Mitch was rough this series for sure, but Knicks more than earned it. Jalen Brunson has mastered basketball as a 6-1'ish guard that isn't a high-end vertical athlete. Total maximization of a player. Huge fan of him. Spurs have to hand ball to Harper next season. Harper/Wemby have to be the faces of the franchise. if Castle doesn't like that, get him out while he's young and his value is high. Mitch coached like he was making players comfortable ... Castle and Fox. Always a losing coaching maneuver. If I was the Spurs, I would ship out Castle this summer, and add more perimeter shooting. He plays hard, credit for sure. But he's a low end NBA three-point shooter, and he's not a PG/team runner/lead guard. He simply doesn't have the instincts for the game to lead in that type of role. He's needs to play off the ball as hustle, attacker and opportune scorer as a 3rd/4th option long term if the Spurs will maximize. But is he willing? If they square peg/round hole this deal they are in danger of wasting Wemby's most healthy years. Maybe Harper/Wemby can get them there with Castle, but he has to be accepting of who he is as a player 1 Quote
