I know only a minuscule percent of the .net population has any interest in the NBA, and I hardly follow it myself, but I did turn the TV on for a moment to see how the Spurs-Knicks game was going. It happened to be around the time the Spurs had that huge 29-point cushion. I quickly turned the TV off thinking OK, the series is clearly going to even up at 2-2. But before retiring for the night I was stunned to learn that the Knicks somehow escaped with a win by one point.
Spurs points scored per quarter: 41-35-14-16
What the heck happened? Cocky and overconfident? Exposed? Overrated? Injury? Gave the game away on purpose? Just plain suck at winning big games? Last possibility seems most likely, and would be consistent with how they also lost Games 1 and 2. Or... maybe it's all rigged like many say it is.
Biggest contributors to the loss last night include: Six missed 3-point attempts in 3Q. Several brain-fart missplays in 4Q. And in the final seconds, Fox clumsily attempts to score an awkward lay-up under pressure with just a 1-point lead and basically gives the ball away.
I did watch about 10 minutes of the third game, and honestly, neither team seemed particularly impressive to me. Several teams of, say, the 80s/90s would have handled either team with ease. Such as Celtics and Lakers of the 80s, Pistons of late 80s/early 90s, and Bulls, Trailblazers, or Sonics of the 90s, among others.
