Honestly I do Miss the days when the NBA had Dominant Teams that went back to back or when you saw certain Stars in the Finals Consecutive years. League was Peaking back then. The problem with a new champion every year is that people won’t recognize or care for who’s playing. And viewership will drop unless it’s a big market team. The NBA is a league that peaks when teams dominate. Bulls, Lakers, Heat, Warriors Etc….

Wemby Spurs are looking like that

They're all young and has room to improve a lot. But even with all that room to improve, they're already beating the best teams.

Their only issue will be injuries

It's Brunson's time to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy...
 
Spurs Vs Knicks
Texas Vs New York
France will be watching in support of Wemby, This should be the Highest Viewership since 2016 NBA Finals. Now The Matchup:

Experience will be on New York’s side, However Spurs were able to Shut Down SGA, who’s a much more talented version of Jalen Brunson imo. Wolves & Thunder Series should have prepared the Spurs for what New York has. I think the Spurs are more Athletic Too. Athleticism is what gave Knicks trouble against the Hawks. Both Teams play hard I’m expecting a good series but it feels like Knicks could Get Their Asses whooped Ngl…..

SPURS In 6 But I Wouldn’t be surprised if it was Spurs in 4.

Knicks in 6 😤

Also SGA and Brunson are completely different players...

Yea but the Spurs aren’t new to foul baiting and SGA is a better scorer than Jalen Brunson. And their shooting percentages are comparable too. They have the Athleticism that gave Knicks trouble against the Hawks, the difference is Spurs Can actually shoot the ball unlike the Atlanta Hawks and their defense is 10x better. Karl Anthony Towns is The difference in this series . Jalen Brunson will get shut down, but I think Kat could cause problems for Wemby. Which is why I say Spurs in 6

convenient how you leave out everyone else on the Knicks (OG, Mikal, Hart, McBride, Robinson), our success this year has been due to team basketball/ball movement and that won't change against the Spurs. Hawks were the hottest shooting team heading into the playoffs, and before G4, gave us a ton of trouble before Mike Brown changed his offense/defense centered around KAT

Brunson knows better than to get shut down at *this* point of the season (his career high of 61 was against the Spurs btw). SGA is better at drawing fouls but I am more than happy trusting Brunson in the clutch when it matters. Knicks will be ready for the Spursm from 1 to 15.

And like I have said above, keep sleeping on the Knicks as always (especially with the western conference bias that always seems to be rampant here)
