I think we showed weakness tonight. It's OK to lose. It's not OK to get brutalized and not hit back hard.

We have guys on the bench who will never again see the light of day in these play-offs. Send them out to get payback on Wemby's crap.

This is the correct analysis !

Brunson hogged the ball. KAT was an afterthought.

I’ll also add we had like 5 ridiculously bad, out-of-character unforced turnovers. We need to put this in the past and refocus

They played like some bitches tonight they slugging you all night and no retaliation?? Bunch of pussies they calling fouls on you anyways so make em count

8ft to 24ft in the second half that’s the game right there .,. They got there wish to extend the series … freaking in the penalty with 10 min to go in the 3rd .
fitzfarm @ 6/8/2026 11:38 PM
Fuck these refs. Up seven at the half and we in the penalty with 10 min to go in the 3rd is fucking bs … nba for there wish to extend the series … we were up 7 at half time and we in the penalty with in 2 min. wtf

Fuck that, we were up 7 at half and the refs put us in the penalty with 10 min left 22+ ft to 8ft in the second half that’s the game and we still had a chance to win .!refs handed the spurs this game on a silver plater

Chandler @ 6/8/2026 11:41 PM
Refs definitely had a bad game. I don’t think it was corrupt as mush as a mess. Touch fouls one second. Mugging allowed the next

We need to regroup and we need to play through KAT. I know wemby is dpoy but he’s far better as a help defender than on ball. KAT and OG have been blowing by him and he can’t sag too much because they can shoot

The commish clearly decided the future face of the league couldn’t get swept in the finals.

I have no problem w/ NY winning the chip in TX.

Agreed to much Brunson pounding the ball like thibs was the coach ..,

We are at our best when the ball is moving .

What’s 22 ft to 8 ft mean? I agree we were hosed by refs in that stretch especially w all the mugging we were getting

DuckVader @ 6/8/2026 11:45 PM
Lots of possessions in offense ball got trapped near half court; opposing guards grinding into Brunson; other guards unable to put pressure individually on their defenders. Only OG did it. Bridges and Deuce disappeared. More bad shots than usual. And Shamet had his first bad shooting night.

Need a bit more creativity on offense.
