The Pacers are creative. Thry just ran an play where they were inbounding under there own basket. Obi Toppin started about 40 feet from the basket and sprinted at the hoop while getting brush screen and wound up with a dunk. They got these guy playing like wide receivers

The GS Valkyries is a terrible team name. I think going the other direction would make more sense. The GS Rainbows rocks. They could have a reformed Murky and Lurky as mascots.

If you did a movie 10 years ago about people who had a long ago shoplifting charge ago being chased by robot dogs and masked goons with shock gloves it would have seemed a bit heavy handed on the dystopia front. And the hero would have definitely been the person who takes down that oppression.

My whole life i’ve seen and heard suburban home owners (dems and reps) flip out about how“outsiders” moving in would destroy their property value. Conservatives now blame outsiders for houses and rent being too expansive. Trump retweeted Cat Turd or something and they pulled an immediate 180

Fred is the best reporter i’ve seen cover the Knicks. I am sure this will be a good read

ANNOUNCEMENT: Under The Bright Lights, my upcoming book about how the Knicks built a champion, is now AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER! I've spent years working on the book, which will chronicle never-before-told stories with a heavy focus on the title run. Link: www.simonandschuster.com/books/Under-...

Towns out played Wemby for the first 6 quarters of this series and the refs took him out of the series. Draw your own conclusions but that is what happened

Wemby is a prick. He has his PR team working overtime selling his emotionally mature stick but he’s a cheap shot artist

Replay is the worst thing in the NBA. If Castle extended his forearm and pushed instead lowering his shoulder and plowing a dude they would called a flagrant and they think they are making the right call bc they go by a powerpoint some loser made

Game 2 was wild bc the Knicks left the door open. Jalen Brunson doesn’t miss layups, wide open 3s, or foul shots under those conditions.

Jalen Brunson was a littos rough last night but he still a couple massive buckets and they still were the kind of bucket no one who isnt a gym rat ever makes

Charles Barkley: “Wemby is in shock right now. Been a long time since he’s got his ass kicked like this. He’s going to own the league soon, but right now he’s being owned. KAT is taking him to the woodshed.” #NBA

When the refs stopped calling as many offense player initiated fouls Brunson and Trey Young were targeted. Brunson’s whistle has been worse then any NBA star since. He adjusted, the refs haven’t though

When the Knicks win the NBA title will the fake news media admit Jalen Brunson is the best American born basketball player in the world?

I like the Spurs for my Knicks and i like seeing OKC struggle to score in the half court. I think they Knicks will need to take care of the ball and have the better 1/2 court offense to potentially topple OKC

Don’t understand why the are trapping so much all of a sudden. Their defense had been fine. Gambling all over the place on D wont help you hit jump shots

Good morning. Today’s reminder is simple: life doesn’t pause for our hard moments. We grow by stepping forward anyway — tender, unsure, or even a little sad. Healing doesn’t always arrive first; sometimes it follows our willingness to keep going, to keep living our lives. #Jaye’sMorningLight

I wouldnt have predicted it but Randle and Naz are turning in some very solid defensive possessions when checking shifty guards on the perimeter. I think Dubious forced 2 TOs in the 4th already.

Through 3 quarters, I have the Knicks at 121 points on 70 possessions, a rate of 172.9 per 100. The most efficient game (regular season, Play-In or playoffs) for any team in the 30 years of pbp data is 161.7 per 100.

The Knicks had a 176 offensive rating in the first half of this game, with per @cleantheglass. For perspective, that’s the equivalent of Reggie Miller going to the line for two free throws.

The NBA has to start calling techs on stars like Joel, Luka, LeBron. They know if they keep making a scene eventually they will get a make up call or a ok chill out everyone call. Its embarrassing
