Episode Notes
The Knicks went to San Antonio and didn't steal one, they stole both. New York is up 2-0 in the NBA Finals and Mo is calling the series over. Coach Brendan Suhr isn't ready to go that far.
Listen or watch as a two-time NBA champion coach breaks down why he thinks the Spurs handed this game away in the final 40 seconds, why Wembanyama looked rattled for the first time all postseason, and how Karl-Anthony Towns turned himself into the best player on the floor through two games.
We get into the Spurs' five-out offence and why Brendan doesn't believe you can win a championship playing it, the late-game possession that decided the night, the butterfly effect that put Landry Shamet in the Finals, and the front-office work that quietly built this Knicks roster. Plus an OG Anunoby story from the UK that says everything about how this country treats its NBA stars.
Two more wins and New York lifts the trophy. Can the Spurs steal one back at home, or is this already done?
In this episode:
- Knicks take a 2-0 Finals lead in San Antonio
- Why Wembanyama looked shook in his first two Finals games
- Karl-Anthony Towns as the early Finals MVP
- The case against the Spurs' five-out, no-set-plays offence

- The Malcolm Brogdon retirement that changed the Knicks' season
- Scott Perry's fingerprints all over this New York roster
- OG Anunoby, KAT's defensive turnaround, and the Game 3 prediction
