The Official 2026 NBA Finals Discussion Thread

[Cwalker]

Don't remind me

What if I told you losing especially in the Conference Finals or Finals itself is a tradition over here.

4-2 to the Trailblazers in 77
4-2 to the Lakers in 80
4-3 in Game 7 to the Celtics during the Conference Finals in 81
4-2 to the Lakers again in 82
and 4-1 to the Celtics in the Conference Finals in 85. Thank God for Doctor J and Company getting in done in 83 I could only imagine the talk about the Team if they didn't sweep the Lakers after the losses that piled up over the Years.

That Game 7 loss to the Toronto Kawhis in 2019 is probably the closest their getting to a Championship for quite a while

Yeah Game 5 is in San Antonio 6 would be back in NY Than 7 in San Antonio They’ve gotta win Game 3 if they want to bring it back home. I fully believe if they go down 0-3, the brooms are coming out

Here's hoping for a sweep. a 15 game win streak in a single postseason. Barkley on Inside the NBA said this is one of the best runs in playoff history. If they sweep this series take "one of" out of the equation it'd be unquestionably the best run in a single postseason ever.

Kawhi's Game Winner still haunts my dreams for real to end that Series. If they kept Butler instead of Tobias and giving him a big deal I have a feeling they reach a Finals by now especially if still had Maxey and VJ coming to them as well in the coming years. The Harden trade probably doesn't happen but surely Ben Simmons gets trade eventually.

The president is supposed to be at the basketball game tonight. He’s been a Spurs fan since Vietnam.

 

[R-Troop]

It's 8:30 PM. They gonna announce the starting lineups soon and maybe the ref will toss the basketball up and the game starts in like 20 minutes.

The Garden crowd booed Orange Man. Unsurprising. Even if you love the guy he made the event damn near impossible to get into and put major restrictions on the city for the event.

 

[R-Troop]

Knicks intro's coming now

But he painted his face in support of the Knickerbockers

 

[R-Troop]

last time Knicks won a Championship in 1973 the Tickets were $10.

 

[R-Troop]

average ticket sales now were 7K.... Inflation calculators put $10 in 1973 to $75 in 2026.

 

[R-Troop]

hey look commentary said the refs missed a flagrant on the Spurs. Sounds familiar.

 

[R-Troop]

Josh Hart gets a technical because he got barreled into by the Spurs big man, and Wemby doesn't get called for shit when he grabs Brunson by the neck and throws him to the ground. Yeah the refs are in the Spurs pockets

 

[R-Troop]

Knicks have woken up. Down by 2 half way through the 2nd quarter.

 

[R-Troop]

Knicks really came alive. Knicks up 7 at the half.

 

[R-Troop]

literally 2 hand shoving a player is not a foul but that shit was a flagrant?
