Bridges getting points with his feet.

This! He was the Difference maker!!

Feel the important games are going to depend on OG’s and Mikal’s three point shooting!
If not for Bridges making up for OG’s bad shooting last night, we lose that game.

Never doubted them. Nice to have several guys who can hit clutch shots

After Brunson found Towns under the basket for the layup to give us the go ahead basket, we took Brunson out of the game for defense with about 36 seconds left. McBride came in. Obviously OG makes the block on RJ and we get the ball, but then its OG dribbling around the top of the key without really knowing what to do with the ball and we look extremely organized. This is obviously due to Brunson being off the floor and no one really organizing the offense. I can't recall whether we had a timeout or not to use here.

Now, the big thing that happens here is that KAT sets up outside, and given his so dangerous with his first step is given a few feet of room behind the 3 point line to camp out. He spaces to the elbow to give OG some room to operate, and then he totally sets himself with a look straight at the basket. He gets the pass from OG and is immediately ready to let it fly, with no hesitation and its a perfect shot. Great recognition by KAT and phenomenal confidence to shoot it there. Really saved what could have been a catastrophic possession there after a great stop.

KAT is a supremely confident offensive player. I feel like for whatever the reason, the narrative was the he dissappears or floats through games. We have seen players like that who have offensive talent, but lose focus, or fear the moment. I don't see that with him. I feel like his issue has always been not being on the floor enough because of stupid foul trouble that he gets himself into. We have seen strides even over the course of 25 games to have him reduce those foul trouble issues.

Are you sure Brunson was out then? I recall vividly after the KAT miss Brunson being shown with his arms outstretched celebrating. Was that him walking onto court?

IN any event agree we looked disorganized and i was wondering why the ball was in OG's hand at that moment and was thinking he wanted to put the dagger in against his old team (not that the Knicks think that way)

BTW he still can only really finish left. For some reason, despite knowing him his game better than any other organization, he we did a terrible job of forcing him right. Of course he is gonna try to get left and his success in the NBA is as a result of him being able to get left, but we seemed to force him left at times as if we didn't know. Even on the last possession where Towns did a good job of staying with him, he gave him the left. Fortunately he kept in front and OG came to help. Frustrating to watch at times though! When he goes right he sometimes misses the rim entirely!

Classic. I own that movie in almost every format except the PSP UMD.

Rick Moranus tried to pick up my ex wife at Nuts About You, a health food store on the upper West side back in the day. Come to think of it, he could have done me a huge favor if he had a stronger rap. He should have probably led with I am the key master

Pre Honey I Shrunk the kids? If not, it might've been a wrap.
