If the Knicks come back to NYC up 2-0, Zohran should declare a city holiday. It would be mayhem.

Also, they would put some real doubt in the Spurs’ heads.

1. Wemby gets tired. That’s a secret weapon to exploit.

2. I’m not sure how much of our subpar offense was their defense vs. rust vs randomness, but I think we can play better.

3. Alvarado was an unsung hero off the bench.

4. KAT blowing by Wemby was a surprise. Wemby even guarding KAT was a bit of a surprise. They may change that.

5. It’s time I get greedy and go all out for game 2. No let ups.

6. Brunson had a terrible game until he had a great few minutes.

7. OG hit some huge shots.

8. Hart was the best version of himself.

9. Shamet still shooting well.

10. Mitch looks fine (thank God)

11. MIkal was quiet but good.

12. Deuce was fine.

Just got back to my San Antonio home (my second home away from queens). There were about 7 thousand knicks fans in house tonight. We were loud pregame, loud early game. Then a lot of quiet. We know how to act when the team is losing or struggling. Then the Knicks made the late 3rd quarter charge and eventually put it over the top late 4th quarter. Back breaking Brunson 3. Cap struggled all game. Seemingly injured twice. Missed shots he normally makes. But always coming through when it counts. The Knicks did not play their best basketball. They were sloppy and the offense seemed to slow down with less ball movement. Yeah, and they trailed most of the game. Yet they still pulled it through. Very encouraging. My prediction of knicks in five stands. This was a top-tier sports experience because I was there with my 11-year-old son. I plan on going to game 2. Flying back to NYC on Saturday with my kids for the summer. They usually hang with my parents in Queens. I’m gonna either attend a watch party for game three in Manhattan. Or maybe try to get into game three somehow. Let’s see what happens. Let’s go Knicks. Ecstasy.

This KAT video during the game is amazing: https://x.com/NBA_NewYork/status/2062352598405906616

This guy will have a completely different reputation after this run.

Jose Alvarado was massive in the stretch when we didn’t know if Brunson was truly hurt. They were discombobulated before he came in, and he quickly stabilized things and got them back on track.

KAT outplayed Wemby and I’m tired of the media pretending he didn’t.

Was blowing past him at will.

Apart from the game itself, how the Knicks solved a few things in the second half, etc – Mitch looked mostly like himself, which is a major win for the series.
