Yup. Let Brown get his and shut this goofy fooker off.

I don't think they have enough to win without White scoring 20-30pts. If we can hold him to pedestrian numbers we got this.

Need to bring better intensity. That’s what Thibs is supposed to do. Get the most out of these guys.

Thibs has a large macro problem when it comes to the offense, and the starting lineup getting cooked for months.

That said, we are undefeated after a loss in the post season and some of those losses were very ugly. He's made adjustments game to game and we've bounced back every time. That's a plus in his favor, I expect the trend to continue tonight.

I don't feel this is must win territory because I do think we can beat this Boston team in a game 7 on the road. But we really don't want to go there and have to try and do that. That would be a 50/50 game or less. NYC deserves this one at home.

he kneed Brunson's nuts too

and no I don't think Brown got hit for real by Brunson. Brown is there rolling around on floor and as soon as refs say nothing to it, he's all better and stops acting

times like this I would like someone like I.Stewart on this team to help enforce things.

Brown should be arrested on the spot for sexual assault and contributing to the indecency in front of minors.

Jail this ahole.

Yeah but he was the on-ball defender so...?
poor Josh. Has a great night shooting the three and in return gets his face cracked open and groped on national TV
Going to have to call Captain Olivia Benson to investigate

We can agree on the offense. But that's not changing before tipoff. Maybe Brunson uses his skills to get OG, Bridges and Hart moving downhill toward the basket. Maybe they run a play for KAT - 4 out with him on the low block.

But I know the intensity this team brings can. I like that 'undefeated after a loss comment'. The defensive coverages are wild here. You have Holiday guarding Kat out to 27 feet. You have Brown giving Brunson a hard time, but Brunson not taking the free pass. I dunno. We let them small ball the heck out of us when we have a monstrous size advantage without Tatum and whatever is up with KP.

You know I gonna spin wit it
