No one wants to lose, but i think you’re taking his words too literal. He means that every team HAS to go through those hard lessons, and that’s exactly where SA is. SA has been losing leads all playoffs, but they endured. The Knicks are just on another level this year and have the type of offense that punishes teams for mistakes.

Great explanation 🙌 a lot of people in the media front is always taking things literally or out of context. This is good.

The Knicks should have the mindset of closing this series out in San Antonio. It’s not a winning mindset of
“well if we lose game five in San Antonio we can close it out in game six in New York”.
Remember the words of Apollo Creed to Rocky:
“THERE IS NO TOMORROW(game six)”
There’s only game five.

The Knicks players are scared they know the only change they have to win is game 5. The writing is on the wall about the Spurs ability/dominance, they came in as underdogs hungry for a win, they should keep that up, no hero ball.
When faced with a much more talented team, sacrificing your body to force them into foul trouble is the best tactic I’ve seen to even the odds.

100% right. Not many teams make it this far on their first playoff run. These are lessons SA has to learn.

The knicks aren’t winning this series, the spurs are losing it. Every knicks win requires them to come back and those comebacks dont happen without a TON of mistakes by the spurs. Add up the total points the knicks have won by in this series and that’s less than the lead spurs blew in any one of these games.

I know one thing after watching this series, San Antonio will be back multiple times but I’m sorry the Knicks will struggle for a long long time. The Spurs wont make it easy for the Knicks bc they know they’re the better team and have just made some dumb mistakes bc they’re young. Look at every game so far and see who has dominated, it’s the Spurs and have made it look easy. If they really thought they couldn’t beat the Knicks then they would just throw the towel in and say that team is just better than us and why even try. But this is different, they know they can beat this team and probably should be up 3-1 or have already swept them, maybe they’re young and just need to learn how to close out games. I know one thing the Knicks know the Spurs are the better team and it’s taking everything they have and a little help from the Spurs to win these games.

and thats why this man out here broadcasting and not playing. with that mindset, that gives you a collapse when you up 3-1. you close it out when you can!
