I’ve learned to always bet on the Knicks when the spurs go up 10+.

I just put a live bet on the Knicks to cover +7.5. I’m sure the Spurs will win by 8 now.

This is the most ridiculous choke of a series I’ve ever seen. That last rebound on the free throw is a perfect example. Wemby/Spurs don’t want it enough.

The issue with the Spurs is two front. First, the 3 best players on that team are all 22 or younger. I felt going into the series even though the Knicks didn’t have finals experience, that their overall experience because they’re an older team than the Spurs would help them on this stage.

Secondly, the head coach for the Spurs was awful in this series. Besides misusing timeouts all series, the fact that Fox was still playing as many minutes in this game as he was in this game 5 was ridiculous. he was the worst player on the court. Spurs HC along with inexperience caught up with them.

When the Knicks went up 3-0 on Cleveland, I put $100 on them to win the title because they were getting +265. Imo were ridiculous odds considering spurs/Okc were beating each other up. Add on spurs youth and OKC wasn’t healthy. Albeit i do think if OKC is healthy they are a worse matchup for the Knicks

I absolutely hate the spurs and can slightly stomach the knicks because of the villinova boys

Yeah the Nova trio makes it ok for one year

Big W which secures a .500 roadtrip and now with our Ace up to make it 4-2.

Any time they get a split on Nola/Painter starts, they are in really good shape.

Especially on the road and even more so against a good team like the Brewers.

Id be good with Suzuki but I'm not sure what the Cubs would want compared to what the Phils have to offer.

Something tells me that he won’t be getting traded since the Cubs are still in it for the wild card

He has some health issues. Plus cubs in the race i don’t see them trading him to a team in the same race they are competing with.

I would go after Adell and Reid Demer. I mentioned Detmer about a month ago as a guy who has controllable years, young and has good stuff. Has also been a reliever so he can transition there in the playoffs if you don’t want to use him as a starter.

I feel like Jackson chourio always kills us.

Great throw by Marchan

Turner being awful fielding the ball cost the Phillies another run. How that was ruled a hit is pretty embarrassing.

Sanchez has looked shaky all game. That homer pitch was right over the plate. Either he doesn’t have his best stuff or brewers picked up something. Seems like the latter as even the crap brewers hitters are making contact along with not his best

Also point out don’t have Marchan catch Sanchez. Marchan has been notoriously bad with everyone this year. Every starter has a noticeable increase in era with him

Oh well, guess Sanchez was due for a less than stellar outing

They’re just not gonna beat quality teams consistently

Yeah i counted it already as a loss

If Stott wasn’t a LH hitter I’d make the argument Stott should move up to where Turner is hitting and Turner down to where Stott is. Since beginning of May, Stott is slashing .248/.302/.463/.765 whereas Turner is slashing .192/.229/.293/.522

Turner is Fn terrible. Amazing he was NL batting leader last year now hitting 220 almost halfway through the season. As mentioned its affecting the whole lineup including Schwarber.
