So True

That can't compare to this and that was special

What's different is not just going to the finals, but the way we're playing

Only those of us who were alive to see the original Knicks championship teams have witnessed this kind of harmonious basketball

This is rare

You can go whole seasons without a single team executing like this

I mentioned the GS Warriors teams because they played in true sync like this during their championship era

Savor this, because it only happens in the NBA a few times a decade at most

/S

He has gotten used to sitting on his couch petting his dog while watching the game

They were hugging each other and obviously like each other from their time together in Utah

DM probably at least happy for his mate even if he's disappointed for himself

When they changed the offense to go thru KAT

It wasn't just give the ball to KAT

It was also run action off ball

Moving Brunson around…
Moving OG…
Mikal…
Josh…

They love it

They. Love. It.

So that engages them on D…

So now when they get a rebound…

They're tearing off to the other end…

Because they wanna get down there

Because they know

They're gonna be involved…

So…why does it take 90% of the season for that to happen?

IDK why…

But it happened.

Not only has it unlocked their talent

It's unlocked their chemistry…

Now you watch them play

And it's one giant party"

I did notice that they did not run the offense through KAT last night as much as in prior series. Wonder why? Was it an adjustment to a Cav's adjustment or personnel?

He can't leave, he just can't!

But I don't see how he didn't just earn himself a bag. 3&D and big playoff performances.

Knicks can offer him up to $15.6mil with early bird rights. But don't know if they would be willing to do that unless they are willing to part with both Deuce & Mitch.

In these playoffs, his TS% (72.6%) and 3-point percentage (54.8%) are hyper-elite, driven by his blistering 17-for-21 stretch from deep over his last six games.
Finally a shooter I can compare to Steve Novak off the bench, only Shamet plays good defense!
Such a good feel good story is Shamet, I'm so happy for him. Enjoy the moment, young man!!!
