Well, the Spurs did what they needed to do. Desperate times, desperate measures. They played that way, and they eke out the win, 115-111, 32 for Victor Wimbenyama.
And in case you're wondering, I was curious. The Spurs were only a 2.5-point underdog last night, and the Spurs are 2.5-point underdogs tomorrow night. The series is far from over, in my opinion. I didn't think the Spurs would get swept. Still might be a six-game series, but now you have a little bit of doubt. And I said yesterday to start this show, the pressure was going to be on the Knicks.
Everybody showed up. The president's there. You got all your celebrities. This is a mere formality. The Spurs are broken. We're going to win. We're at home. We're in the garden. And then all of a sudden, you forgot to deliver. You had everything there. It's like all the ingredients to make a great meal. They just didn't have a chef because the Spurs took it to the Knicks last night.
And yes, there are going to be complaints about the disparity in fouls called. They were very similar in the number of fouls that were called. It was just what fouls were and weren't called. I think that was the big question mark that I would have. Were the Spurs physical? Absolutely. Did Wemby get away with a push on Jalen Brunson? Absolutely. It's going to be this way in Game 4.
Now it's the Knicks' turn. It's a game of chess. It's not checkers. Now the Spurs know what the Knicks are going to do. They're going to be physical right from the beginning. Here's the trend that would concern me if I'm a Knicks fan. Game one, the Knicks were down by 14. Game two, down by 12. Game three, the Knicks down by 12.

Chapter 3: How did the Spurs manage to win at Madison Square Garden?
It's not a big park. And he went in there, and he was painting. Did he have a beret on? An easel? Easy easel. He's going to be doing nudes there. Yes, Marvin.
And I think a really important thing for the Spurs was getting off to a hot start and completely taking the crowd out because they were pumped the entire pregame, two hours before the game started, and they took them out of the game ASAP.
Yeah, and I wondered about that because the crowd, you want that crowd on your side. You don't want that crowd against you at the Garden because they came there to watch the coronation. Like, we're winning. Like, this is Christmas Eve. We're opening up presents. Then all of a sudden, you realize you don't get to open up the present. You've got to wait the next day.
And now you have to win this next game. There's the pressure again. Because San Antonio gets to go back home. Guaranteed, they get to go back home. And do you think the Knicks are going to win again in San Antonio? Has any NBA team, I'm just wondering out loud, won three road games in the NBA Finals? Yes, Marvin?
Man, don't quote me.
But I'm going to.
Okay, I think maybe the 93 finals. That was one of the crazier ones. I think the first three games were won by the road team.
Okay. But did the eventual champion win three road games? Yeah, Paulie. I had the 93 Bulls winning games one, two, and five at Phoenix. And I got the 90 Pistons. Can I quote you, Marvin, now? You can now. Okay. Wow, that's a great bloop. Yeah, so you're trying to win three games on the road? Okay. Yeah. Yes, Dylan. I don't know, though.
The Knicks looked pretty comfortable in San Antonio the first two games, especially compared to last night. Well, I don't think in game two they looked comfortable. Okay, not comfortable, but hey, they won. Yes, they did. Yes, they did. Well, I look at San Antonio lost that game. Game one, give that to the Knicks.

Chapter 4: How did Victor Wembanyama perform in the game?
The pressure cooker that was the garden last night, there's no doubt it was palpable. The expectation level for the home team and being on the precipice of this and how badly this fan base wants it. and the environment in there last night. Yeah, and we talked about that. It's going to be wild. People think, wow, you're going into some sort of a wood chipper here if you're an opponent, right?
You feel that as a home team too, and they felt that, no doubt. But I don't even know that that was really what did it last night. For me, it was the San Antonio Spurs at the start of that game got something from their two best players that I think settled their entire team.
When Victor Wimbinyama, Stephon Castle come out and their intent is to play in the paint, get high percentage shots, show you that they're in control, it calms your entire team down. Your head coach, your roster, the role players, everybody's like, hey, man, our two best guys are here tonight and they're operating well. We're in a good place.
Now, they got hit with the left hook in the second quarter. And I said on SGP last night... Sometimes your best friend is halftime because if that quarter had continued another four minutes the way the Knicks were playing, they might be down 15. So the best thing was to look up and see zeros on the clock. You're only down seven if you're the Spurs.
Now, they still had to come out for the third quarter, and that first six minutes was going to be very telling for me. What happens here? Does this go out to 15-18, and now it's 3-0, and this series is over, or can San Antonio – almost recalibrate their offense again, get back to playing in the paint, get back to the way they played at the start of the game. And that's exactly what they did.
At the same time, I thought the Knicks offense was very predictable last night in the second half of that game. I thought it hurt them.
Talking to Tim Legler from the Mothership, their lead NBA analyst. Here's another concerning trend here. Game one, Knicks down by 14. Game two, Knicks trailed by 12. Game three, they trailed by 12. Great teams. I mean, it's hard to keep getting down and then coming back, and this is a good San Antonio team. Now I wonder, and the pressure's back on the Knicks.
Like, you have to win this game tomorrow night.
Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm not going to sit here and say they can't win the series if they lose tomorrow night. My goodness, because if they lose tomorrow night, we're four games in. No home team has won a game. So, you know, I think only one other time, if I saw the graphic right this morning, my eyes were blurry. I kind of grabbed the remote and put it on SportsCenter.

Chapter 5: What impact did officiating have on the game?
I just thought that you have to give them all the credit in the world. I know there's going to be a lot of talk about the officiating today, and that's fine. Maybe people think it's too physical. I would probably agree. Overall, the physicality of what's being allowed is too much. I would agree with that. But we can't get away from how well the Spurs played last night. They outplayed the Knicks.
and the Knicks now have to figure out a way to get back to their normal rhythm offensively because that's just three games in a row that the San Antonio Spurs have limited some of that efficiency.
Yeah, I thought the ball should have gone through Carl Anthony Towns more. It's almost like they got off script. And I've been saying for Wemby, I need you inside to then come outside. I don't need threes. It feels like when he needs a breather, he pulls up for a three instead of, I mean, it takes a lot of energy to get inside, get banged around.
But, you know, you throw it up high enough, nobody's going to get it but him.
And Dan, a couple things I want to point out. If you're a Knicks fan today, let's also go back and watch the game again and look at some of the mistakes the Knicks made in the first six, seven minutes of the game defensively.
They were overextended, trapping on the ball at half court, and then Wemby twice was left in the middle of the lane as an outlet pass for the guy that was trapped with nobody there. His first four touches were right at the rim. That hasn't been the case in the first two games. And that wasn't because of officiating.
That was because of mistakes or intent on the part of Victor Wembanyama, intent on the part of the San Antonio Spurs. And you don't know if you're going to make jump shots necessarily. That's a fickle thing in the NBA.
so that's why getting higher percentage shots and playing more to your strengths was key and then they got you know this uh dylan harper i can't say enough about like how good this guy is going to be particularly if he figures out the deep shot um his his Physical presence, his speed, his power, his rebounding, and ability to then push it out of that is special.
And he's 20, and he got into that environment last night, and he looked, like, very comfortable. Like, he could have had his pajamas on. He was very comfortable last night in that environment for a 20-year-old. Very unusual. to not be rattled at all. And he didn't look like he was, other than the fact he couldn't make a three, but that's still the weakness in his game. That'll come down the road.

We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it, and... Well, we were thinking of originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas.
