Wow, high scoring first quarter.

Mitchell masterclass fourth quarter but Brunson decided to match it. Valuable Dean Wade minutes?

Cedi is an alright team defender, but my god I cringe sometimes when he’s on-ball against shifty guys

[ijspeelman]

Jalen Brunson is currently unstoppable. We do need to do better with these open threes. They are making nearly all of them

I forgot there was a game tonight, so I turn it on and immediately, the Knicks go on a 12-0 run.

Yeah nah, I'm good.

Yikes. I didn't like that one

I actually thought Dean Wade (or even Neto) had a case for playing down the stretch over Stevens as Stevens was playing pretty eh (I don't want to blame him for some of Brunson's insane shots) and Wade I thought was doing more for our spacing (only hit 1, but they were respecting him) and held his ground.

Gives me a little bit of pause in a 7 game series but hopefully getting healthy will change things.

I'm telling myself that in addition to missing Allen and Okoro defensively, JBB was holding back on strategy/rotations for the postseason, but I'm not sure I believe it.

Wade went to the bench as soon as he made that 3 and he never came back in.
