A few things that have to happen:

1) Brunson, Randle, RJ trifecta have to keep the 20+ pace up. How much more can you ask from Brunson?
2) Josh Hart needs to figure out a way to stay on the floor and not get caught up in Lowry nonsense. He has been getting out Villanova'd
3) Turnovers have to come down - we dominated last game except on turnovers
4) Need to continue to control the boards. One thing about shooting 40-50 3's is a lot of long rebounds. We are not getting the long rebounds from their misses. That's where Josh Hart has been so valuable if he can stay on the floor.
5) The beginning of the 2nd quarter second unit shift. The game has been won and lost on this shift. I think a lot of his is how Obi Toppin is playing too. If he can make an impact and not toss up some UFO's, then we can outperform on this shift.

I hope their bus doesn’t break down on the interstate. That would be a shame.

The secondary ball handlers have to prepared to initiate the offense. You know Miami is gonna double Brunson to wear him out. No more flubs inbounding the ball and make the free throws. We also gotts hit the 3s at a high clip and not get out rebounded. Other than that, see you in New Yawk.

No Quickley? His defense and rebounding are just as important as his shooting

Also need him to prevent JB from collapsing on the court. I'm confident McBride will chip in his 30 seconds to 1 minutes, but we need more minutes eaters

Bench will be Hart, Obi and iHart with guys playing big minutes. Expect another 45 from Brunson and Grimes

Did I read somewhere that both JJ Reddick and Richard Jefferson are on the broadcast. That’s annoying squared

Randle's game settled down after he took that shot. Before that he had trouble playing at the right pace.

Like with Melo, nothing wrong with ISO if you dont overdribble. Thats the change in RJ's game, that allowed him to level up.

I hope Deuce gets some minutes to help Brunson with the final puah. Job one for the Heat wil be wearing JB out.

Grimes will have a career night game 6. He must be super confident from his defense when he got hurt in game 5

Let's do this. We have been able to apply some pressure on them to close us out. This is the game to win. I see it as a must win for both teams. As close as it gets to game seven pressure. Except it's game six :)

If they have to fly coach class and they all have wrenched backs from uncomfortable seats would stink

Knicks advance to the second round of the playoffs, playing on ESPN while Breen's in the payroll and working...and we get ****ing Richard Jefferson.

I don't want to hear **** about the NBA catering to the NY market.
