According to ESPN Analytics, in the 4 games the Spurs lost in the NBA Finals, they had a... — 91.6% chance of winning Game 1 up 13 points midway thru the 3rd — 72.8% chance of winning Game 2 up 2 points with 1 minute left in the 4th — 99.6% chance of winning Game 4 up 20 points with 9:33 left in the 4th — 95.4% chance of winning Game 5 up 10 points with 7:54 left in the 4th

That's a solid take and observation. Fans forget that in the last six NBA Finals (from 2021 to 2026), we have seen an incredible 11 different teams take the stage. Out of 12 possible finalist slots over these six years, the Boston Celtics are the only franchise to make a repeat appearance. It's very frustrating to see the opportunity for these guys slipped by, but especially due to some of the most fundamental Basketball 101 mistakes which happened repeatedly and were self-inflicted.

Touché. 🤦🏻

"What I'm pissed about is that there's probably 100 games before we can be back in the Finals..." Victor Wembanayama expressed anger and frustration after his fisrt NBA Finals elimination.

Wemby got tears in his eyes when he admitted those things in French and then expressed anger and frustration saying: "We made too many mistakes, I make too many mistakes. One of the many things I learned is that the margin of error is very, very thin..."

Mitch Johnson didn't want to get into what he told the guys in the locker room after the game, but he says he's really proud of Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant as rookies and for trusting the process and learning what it means to a San Antonio Spur.

"We've been blood sweat and tears for nine months and it's over." Spurs coach Mitch Johnson says his team was not ready to win an NBA championship, but he's proud of them.

"It doesn't compare with anything previously. This is the biggest lesson of my life.." Victor Wembanyama says he's having a hard time processing the meaning, but that he will learn from this experience. "It's been hard and full of lessons," he says while reflecting.

"He was upset with playing time and different roles that he was in, but he stepped up..." While acknowledging the Spurs' rookies, Devin Vassell leaked that Dylan Harper was upset with playing time at some point this past season.

"It's tough, it hurts a lot, it stings..." Devin Vassell they'll scratch and fight to get back into this position but right now it's tough. #Spurs #Knicks #NBAFinals

Congratulations to the New York Knicks. Clearly deserving of their first championship in 53 years. And congratulations to the San Antonio Spurs on an impressive run. The young ones will be back. They're just getting started!

KAT with his sneaky push gets caught during the review. Spurs ball.

Time out! Mitch Johnson doesn't like how the Knicks are not being defended very effectively in transition.

🚨Fox & Castle are a combined 2-of-15 FG at the half! They need to find cleaner looks inside the paint and mirror Dylan Harper's efficiency (4/6 FG). Finish the job or go home! 🏁 #GoSpursGo #NBAFinals
