Stewie is always getting disrespected when these rankings come out

this is such a loser mentality... f you lose the same way four times in five games, that's not bad luck sa tried to land a knockout blow in Q1 of each game, and ended up losing Q2, Q3, and Q4

The New York Knicks took down the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the 2026 NBA Finals, and Orlando Magic head coach Sean Sweeney thinks the series could have panned out differently if the former team hadn't been unlucky. Sweeney, who was the Spurs' associate head coach for the 2025-26 season, was asked what went wrong in the Finals during an appearance on The Ryen Russilo Show.

"I think a few things," Sweeney said. "One, I think there's a little attrition, having to go through the previous series. Two, bad luck. You know, they told me if the games were like 46 minutes or whatever, we would have won 4-1. Jalen [Brunson] obviously had a monster game in that last one. You know, coached him in Dallas, like, happy for him, kind of. But I think there's some of that.

"And I think we just made more mistakes than we had made in the previous series," Sweeney stated. "And you could maybe say some youth to that, but you don't do what you did, and just all of a sudden become young. The one thing I think that's a little different in the Finals than the other rounds is when you have to do media in the Finals, you have to answer questions even when you've played poorly or struggled, and you don't have to do that in the previous rounds.

"You know, those guys like all year, if they have a longer media session, it's because they've done something good," Sweeney added. "You don't have 15 minutes of answering like, why didn't you make this play? Are you too young? Are you guys on the same page? What do you think about coach's decision? So I think that's like a different deal and can obviously contribute to it."

A tattoo on a forearm depicting a mashup of the Peanuts character Snoopy and NBA player Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks. In the tattoo, a mid-air Snoopy releases a left-handed floater of an orange basketball. He is styled with Brunson's distinct hairstyle, a royal blue and orange basketball uniform, and teal sneakers. Black motion lines surround the ball and his hand to emphasize the high-arcing shot.

This is just absurd

On the right, Jalen Brunson in a blue New York Knicks jersey mirrors the exact same prayer gesture with his eyes closed. White text across the bottom reads: "And thus the lord said to his people... BING BONG".
