Mitch made enough FTs when it mattered. Hack a Mitch didn't work

Except they never call it that way. Breen is always on about it, you can step on a guy's head in that scenario and they don't call it. Except tonight.


Refs had their orders.

I've seen 5th graders play with more poise in the clutch, but I'll take it.

I don't usually bang on about the refs, and the other game we won, we had some very favorable calls (like the shot clock violation that clearly hit the rim), but some of these games have been called flat out weird.

Obi has a great 2nd quarter. He got a lot of boards and helped us go one that run.

Knicks always good for a boneheaded turnover when it matters, but they also figure it out more often than not this year!

Thanks. I'm just watching the box scores. Will Brunson and Grimes be able to walk or run tomorrow? Saw Josh Hart with limited minutes ..

I crapped on him the past few days so I should give him his due now.

If Hart breathed they called a foul on him. Ref vendetta. He couldn't get the mins bc of the fouls

Quentin Grimes ultimate grit though. He was hobbling and made that steal. Just an unreal play.

Knicks aren’t a pretty boy team. No super friends, no cool factor, and when they win it’s nasty ugly. But here they are, still playing.

If that's the case, let's put Deuce in for a few minutes to set hard, bone-crunching moving screens on Lowry or Vincent, just like Bam, just to get the refs attention.

Jalen Brunson just big-time. The numbers don't even begin to tell the story. I always feel like we're in the game when he's on the court.

We all love Hart but in all honesty it was not one of his better games.

We won without IQ and Hart playing meaningful minutes. Good sign. The guys should feel more confident. We beat Jimmy, Ben, and the refs

He's no Trace Davis Jackson, but I guess he's alright.

Julius survived Bam's claws and he turned his game around in the 2nd quarter. Bhe played smart and hard.

Brunson with a superstar performance. Robbed of all star/all NBA, but he is one of the leagues best guys. 38/9/7 only 1 turnover in an elimination game? Bravo superstar

Would you trade Evan for Duncan Robinson ?

Thibs would run Hart and Grimes until their feet are ground down to the ankles before Duncan Robinson would see the court.
