In season three, episode 35 of the Swishlist Podcast, Moses reacts to the NBA Finals at the midpoint with the Knicks up 2-0 and the series trending toward a sweep, breaking down Game 2, what went wrong for San Antonio late (including Wembanyama’s costly turnover), and why New York is winning with balanced scoring despite Jalen Brunson’s inefficiency. He highlights strong Knicks performances from Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and bench minutes from Landry Shamet, while criticizing the Spurs’ supporting cast—especially Keldon Johnson—and Mitch Johnson’s rotations and late-game decision-making. Moses still sticks with his preseason Spurs pick, outlines adjustments like attacking Brunson defensively and using Wemby in the dunker spot, and predicts a close Spurs win in Game 3 at Madison Square Garden.
