Spurs vs. Knicks Game 3 Picks 6/8/26 (Ep. 1133)

Well, well, well.

The New York Knicks are up two games to none in the series.

They are back home in Madison Square Garden for games three and four.

Game three, the Knicks are laying two and a half here.

216 is the total now.

216 is the total.

So I think everybody knows where I'm going with this, so I will defer it over to Lonse first because we've seen game one and game two.

We've seen the Spurs try to make a valiant comeback in the fourth quarter, um, only for the Knicks to hold on.

And we've seen some of the players of the Spurs, young as they may be, kind of not show up in the biggest moments for them.

So what adjustments, if any, do the Spurs make in game three? And can they steal a game three out of Madison Square Garden in what's gonna be a very emotional environment for sure?

Um, yeah, they, they can.

[clears throat] Um, it, it's kind of-- The pressure's kinda shifted to the Knicks.

I mean, I know they're two- they're up 2-0, but the pressure to close it out with two games on your home floor when you haven't had, had a finals game there, you know, in over 20 years.

So like it's a lot of pressure on the Knicks to kinda close it out.

So I do think that it's kinda shifted because everybody's, you know, pretty much saying that the series is over.

So the Spurs are playing with house money.

They going out there playing freely.

That could be an advantage.

It could be a disadvantage.

Um, my counter to that would be the Knicks just kinda haven't really played well for a full game.

It kinda reminds me of the Cleveland series where they stole that one game.

I mean, I know the Spurs went up 20, but, and they didn't come back within, you know, six, seven minutes on, on like a 17, 18-point lead.

But it happened twice where I think the Knicks stole both of those games.

Uh, Spurs were in control of it early on.

They were up late in the game.
