Knicks & Spurs Sounds Off After Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals!

Nobody briefed him.

😭Bro tryna figure out what these words mean

These reporters don’t even know OG already won a championship with Toronto

These reporters. Hey dummy, the Knicks are healthy. And the Knicks are gritty. Boston had them down 20 point twice last year and the Knicks still won. That was before Tatum got injured. Wake up

​Stephon Castle explicitly stating that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a tougher cover than Jalen Brunson is a massive quote.

It shows a few things about where San Antonio's head is at:

​Battle-Tested Confidence: Coming out of the Western Conference gauntlet, Castle is essentially saying they've already faced the ultimate perimeter test in SGA.

​Tactical Shade: While Brunson is elite at using angles, deceleration, and footwork, SGA's combination of length, pace, and foul-drawing is a different animal.
Castle minimizing Brunson's difficulty level is the exact kind of swagger you want from your lead point-of-attack defender, even if it provides instant bulletin-board material for the Knicks.

​The collective sentiment that the Spurs believe they are outright the better team is just as important.
They clearly don't view the 105-95 loss as the Knicks overpowering them; they view it as a self-inflicted collapse.

​When a team attributes a Finals loss strictly to 4th-quarter execution rather than a talent gap, they usually come out in Game 2 playing highly aggressive, desperate basketball.

They know they just need to clean up the late-game turnovers and defensive lapses rather than completely overhauling their game plan.

From a fan of a team not in the finals, I'm cheering on the knicks. Im not a fan of the Knicks or their fanbase I'm not a fan of the spurs or their fanbase. But I honestly believe the spurs fanbase is the absolute worst in the nba. I can't stand wemby, he is an arrogant Frenchman that plays dirty along with the rest of the spurs team. So I have no choice but to cheer on the Knicks. I dont have a problem with any of the Knicks players but some of their fans are nasty, but not near as bad as spurs fans. So go Knicks sweep these little boys and take home the chip.

G1.

Sure looked like refs (and NBA?) want S.A. to win.

Several times Spurs committed obvious fouls: charges, pushes, clutching jerseys, oh, and Wemby reaching out and grabbing on every illegal pick he set.

No calls.

Toss in a few traveling violations.

No calls.

No biggie.

Knicks in 6? 5? 4?
