Trump couldn’t leave well enough alone and after being booed during our national anthem…the San Antonio Spurs pulled themselves together enough and by far played their best 48 minutes in a game in these NBA Finals.
The series now stands 2-1 in favor of the Knicks and from my vantage point Game 4 pressure should be squarely on the backs of the NY Knicks because if they lose this game the Spurs not only have momentum…they have home court for two of the remaining three games.
But alas, a home team hasn’t won a game to date in this series.
Perhaps….if the crowd and the Knicks hadn’t been distracted by the convicted felon Trump things might have evolved differently in Game 3. We’ll never know. But for certain this was a first with a convicted felon currently occupying the White House being given some sway in a national sporting event.
I mean…the hypocrisy. Adam Silver and his NBA Governors know damn well they don’t want the architect of January th ever owning an NBA franchise. So why treat him in this regard. Would thay have done this for Nixon after Watergate?
So my question is….why give this guy the world stage so to speak?
I thought it was a horrible look all around. But the glass half full take is no one got shot, injured, or killed during a staged assasination attempt, and with the Spurs winning we now have a series.
None of us now know who Kendrick Perkins is now picking in this series, but from my view only again…that’s what I find charming about Perk. MJ loves Perk for certain.
My Four Stars of the Game went this way…1 Wemby, 2 Castle, 3 Dylon Harper, and 4 De’Aaron Fox.
I thought this by far was the best Fox has played in the final four minutes of any of the first three games. Fox closing is one of the red circled keys to the Series moving forward.
Coach Mike Brown of the NY Knicks…WTF? Karl Anthony-Townes only got 10 shots in this game and scored but 10 points. That in no way is the path forward for the Knicks to win their first NBA championship since ’73.
I wonder how Vegas would treat Game 4 spread-wise if they knew Trump is going to attend?
Anyway…kindness, love, and mercy are the path. Not hate.
