Knicks · NBA FINALS Game 5: Knicks @ Spurs 6/13 @ 8:30pm: Dr. Seuss - "Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one." (page 3)

Is everyone still convinced the 0 - 0 mindset is the way to go? Obviously these folks know far more than I ever will about the game, but in my low BB IQ head, it seems a shift to do or die would dial up the desperation that they keep saying is the key. To that, treating each remaining game like a Game 7 might heighten that perspective of being desperate. What's more desperate than win or go home?

I'm still blown away that the Knicks haven't even played a great full half of a game in this series. If they get into one of modes where everything is firing on all cylinders, it would awesome to behold.

I think this team basically takes it one quarter at a time. That's why they can come back like they do. They're not thinking games ahead. They stay present enough in the short-term to reset when things are not working.

This is not a quality the Spurs have yet.

The zero zero mindset has gotten them to this run of 13 straight wins in the playoffs, at 14 wins out of 15 games in the playoffs. If you play with game 7 desperation and you loose then your deflated and exhausted mentally. Can't be successful under that extra stress level of having 7 games 7s potentially. If you adopt a zero zero mindset and you loose you forget the loss and start fresh. If you win you don't have any over-confidence and start fresh in preparation and eagerness. Mikael and the Villanova boys were a College Dynasty, they know how to win. I trust their viewpoint over yours.

Win This for Clyde

So is tonight the night?

I see the Spurs are canceling without notice any game tickets purchased by people outside of a 150 mile radius of SA. I don't see how that is even legal. People have already paid for flights and hotels.

If true they have really turned into a classless organization. From the cartoon music intros to this. They have taken a very far fall from grace.
