If he hits a miracle 3 so be it, you kill some time, and at worst, it is tied. And punk Hali doesn't have the time to shoot that broken play BS luck shot.

Also, is it really all OG's fault if he gets a tight pass on the floor instead of an alley-oop, when JB knows about his hands? Earlier, they overthrew him on a breakaway dunk. Either wins this game, not to mention missed FTs. Lastly, I believe KAT was 3 on 2 when he just stopped and waited to be fouled. JB should have been shooting clutch FTs. But, KAT had an open player to pass to, to kill more time, or an easy lay-up or dunk. Don't play to hold on, play to kill. See it in football all the time. Call it prevent-win defense. Low IQ end to this game, on the players and the coach. Where was Deuce when things got out of hand? He led us to a 16pt lead. Deuce over Hart would have made sense; he can defend and score. Hart kept making poor defensive decisions on Obi and is not the guy you want when you need a score.

This is a must-win. However, I'm not sure it matters, as NO ONE is beating OKC.

WHAT?

The last game I just checked out the score until about 2 and a half minutes to go and then I thought it was safe to turn on the game and all hell broke loose. When ever I turn on the game we are ahead and then they start loosing. Maybe I should not turn on the game tonight.

Why even start with Jalen - get him off the ball +70% of the time but I guess than you have to find a way to get to him after crossing 1/2 court

Payne and Shamet were an effective tandem at times during the season. Not being so predictable, when it comes to the rotation might be what we need. We'll see.

If we lose this game, lets not try to take it out on each other. We all want to see our Knicks succeed.

You and 5M other Knick fans hoping for blowout

Haha - you must get so much enjoyment from this club.

Let's not take it out on each other. Just take it out on Gustav!

Gustav’s mamma is so stupid, she stopped her car at a stop sign and is still waiting for it to turn green.

This is beneath you Bot. Your 'Yo Mama' jokes suck. Now get back to work and start posting some cheerleader pics.

Did someone say cheerleader pics?
