Game Thread Spurs (18-7) vs Knicks (18-7) (Tue 12/16/25) [7:30PM CDT]

Why are the Knicks favoured by Vegas? Maybe it’s the wemby restriction minutes
Knicks have the 4th best net rating in the league vs. Spurs sitting at 8th. Knicks are 3rd in SRS which includes strength of schedule while the Spurs are 8th there as well.

Obviously you can blame injuries and say that the Spurs would be doing better if they were healthy, but I don’t think it’s crazy for NY to be favored by 2.5 points.
 
For the sake of our team, I will NOT be betting on this game
 
This game is the 1st of a 3 games in 4 days grind. This just happened 2 weeks ago and the Spurs ran out of gas in the 3rd game against the Cavs. This time the third game is against the Hawks. Hopefully the Spurs can endure this time around.

yeah agreed. i think beating okc is making some of us here overlook the knicks
 
Knicks being favoured makes sense being we've played one game full strength. I think it will be a dogfight and hope the Knicks think they got this licked. Maybe they should go out drinking and gambling tonight!?

I wonder if the Spurs intend to sit Wemby out for 1 of the b2b games. Maybe they will get cheeky and sit him for the Wizards game to have him available for the extra important Hawks game.
 
Knicks are kind of quietly having an awesome season, we should understandably be a slight underdog. They haven't had the injury issues to their main guys like we have. Their offense is awesome and their defense ranking is better than most expected as well.
 
That's my MVP! :st-shocked::st-cry:

1999 NBA Finals Rematch
Maybe Drob, AJ, Mario Elie, Latrell sprewell Alan Houston will all be at the game. And Jeff van gundy too
If Latrell is there, doubt P.J. Carlissimo and Jerome Kersey probably will be. Sean and Larry Johnson, maybe. Wasn't that Ewing's last (injured) season, too.
 
Pumped up fan checking in! … I’m blown away by how this team has rallied despite some situations (such as coach Pop’s health last season, the injury bug, the atrocious schedule). The 'experts' didn’t have us doing anything this year, yet here we are competing. We survived the rebuild years for this! Let’s keep this momentum going tonight. GSG!
 
I think us keeping SGA FT to a minimum bodes well for us defending Brunson tbh.

Kat is a problem, much better offensively than any of OKC’s bigs. Bridges always plays us well too. Need spurs to win but not the end of the world as this doesn’t count at all for team record
 
Another big game for Castle. I’m rooting for Harper to get a better game than the last. Vic, Vassell, Fox will continue to hum like a well-oiled machine. I know this is not historically what the Big 3 would gun for (if this exists then) but for the real Championship, idk. But it would mean a lot for this young team to win this Emirates Cup as step competition for what lies ahead
 
OG will be on Wemby?

Need two early fouls on that man. Dude is the x-factor for the Knicks.
