Ok - I missed this one completely and let me guess we had used & lost our 1 challenge and couldn’t dispute —- WOW….now that is awful missing that one and calling the flop

Also this play, which I think lead to a layup?

There’s a zero percent chance refs will exist in the future. Hopefully replaced by AI while we’re still alive.

Jesus - that really is just unbelievable because they watch shooters so closely and if you breath too close they blow a foul yet here in clutch moment they miss the flagrant and call a flop on us ——-can’t make this crap up.

Watching live - I heard Breen mention the Brunson flop but think I was disgusted and didn’t realize the flop was on Jalen’s own shot attempt —- imagine that was playoff game

Jaylen Brown just signed the biggest contract in NBA history and clearly looked like the 5the worst player on the Celtics.

I think IQ coming off the bench is more tactical than anything else. He does need more minutes.

I'm still waiting for DDV to show something positive. I feel like?he's 0-20 including preseason.

Knicks showed a lot of heart to get back in this one. Maybe Thibs giving the team the preseason off was a bad decision. They looked really rusty.

I was surprised KP was such a force inside. Mavs have been training guys to shoot 3's a few feet beyond the arc for years as those shots are generally more open. It looks like it really paid off for KP.

Randle played awesome for exactly 1 minute in the 3Rd and Knicks went on a 10-0 run.

Regular season is all about maintaining focus. Knicks have to put it behind them.

Classy.

Nice answer, classy is right. But...I still enjoyed the "F*** Porzingis" chants last night.

Kudos to him on being the bigger man.

A position of need with some risk. Team doesn't want to risk anything in a trade. So far what's the teams trade history... Riskiest move was the Reddish trade. Anyway we got Simms who improved so much per Thibs. Hope they figure it out and get a big who can shoot. Celtics traded their Mitch because they felt despite the defense and rebounding it wouldn't be enough. Our team is risk averse all in the name to land a star one day who becomes disgruntled. But what if we had made two trades to get KP and Holiday ? Don't know just frustrated. I don't think there is a huge star out there for us to trade for. If one comes available other teams have more to give up

The question was never about his ability. We knew everything he did last night was possible. Problem is staying healthy for a whole year.

stars miss games, KP was low risk/high reward. We had enough depth at C to afford KP missing 20-25 games. If all he would have cost was Obi and a 1st we really blew it.

This isnt us building around KP, this would have been KP here as an X factor on a team that is built with workhorses and could have absorbed any missed games better than just about any other team.

a team that badly needed shooting and spacing and a guy that could score in the playoffs and play WITH Brunson, KP fit all that. We missed the boat big time here sorry. I think the FO has done a great job for the most part but that was a huge miss and not only did we miss but he went to our rival instead.

You never know with Thibs. He sees the game from a different set of lenses (right or wrong). Plus the FO sees Mitch and his defense more important than a 3 pt shooting big. Just look at EF on the sideline. Clearly shooting 3s is not the only criteria for Thibs so who knows.

But as a fan I see your point with KP. I never liked how he left and always felt like we should bring him back. But again it’s fans vs Thibs /FO. And our FO is never available to talk so we don’t know what they are thinking.

Alpha hit the nail on the head earlier when he said this FO is risk averse. They've done a great job overall but they have played it a bit too safe at times IMO.

the kicker is you can see how much Brunson and KP get along and they played great off each other in DAL. Randle is more of a "take turns" guy with Brunson as opposed to playing WITH him.
