[esqtvd]

Knicks on a back-to-back flying in from PHX on a buzz
17-point win going away

Code: Select all

NYK   31   32   34   42   139
PHX   30   38   31   23   122

42-23 4thQ
and Brunson put up 50

If I'm a Knick, I'm going to double down on effort against the rising Clippers
beating 4 HOFers on their HOME COURT would make it REAL...

Usually , we worry about Clippers mindset coming into games - are they going to be too casual or will they be locked in.

They have been showing that they are locked in.
Zubac said a few games ago that they show up with more confidence knowing that their stars will be playing.

[Scoundreldays]

Would a win today make this the longest win streak of the 213 era? The highest I remember is 6 in 2020 right before Covid when the team finally figured themselves out

[KL2]

Good to have PG back. Bones is out.

Let’s keep it going.

[KL2]

Zu ended that man’s life. Sheesh.

[HardenGoat]

Damn that was sweet. Zu came to play

[KL2]

Mann needs to wake up offensively. He’s killing us missing all those open looks.

[HardenGoat]

Need to stay glued to these shooters. I imagine that is the discussion right now in time out. Divincenzo especially

[nickhx2]

i don't know what he did, but zu has really figured out a few things over the last several games. he's smarter around the rim on both sides, anticipates better, times his moves better, and while i wanna say a lot of it is just getting more experience, i do kinda think he's improved his athleticism/movement a bit, too.

Y'd think it's impossible he won't come around. His mind is clearly blown starting with 3 HOFers. He's got to start rising toward his 37% career avg from 3. [21.6% at the moment.]

But you're right--Ty just brought Amir in, a reward for a helluva game vs the Dubs after DNPing for a month--and T-Mann's disgraceful minus-22 in a relatively easy win.

A little tap on T-Mann's shoulder. Snap out of it, kid.

It's Beard, I think. Beard gets Zu and makes the game easy for him. Passes just where Zu can turn them into points.

I like Russ a lot, but Harden's BB IQ is off the charts. Beard sees ALL.

[KL2]

PG, Mann, and Coffey with a whole lot of nothing so far.

Kawhi, Zu, Harden, and Westbrook locked in.

[esqtvd]

All credit to the Knicks, who came in on high--see first post of this game thread.

But they're only in it because they hit 5-9 from three [55%] and that shouldn't hold. Clippers look fine.

[NickP]

I was hoping PG would be out for some time.

[KL2]

Please get Leonard back in there.

PG looks awful. Should have sat another game perhaps.

Clippers finally did it!

That is their first ejection of an opponent in the Leonard-George era. Wow!

Alf gets his omen!!

[HardenGoat]

Good way to close the half with some grit. Kawhi is the two way leader and Harden has bought in defensively. Never seen him this good on that end.

[esqtvd]

Knicks came in on a high
playing inspired basketball
shooting 51/47/83 tonight?

and the Clips are still up by 11 at the half?


said not to worry, bros
our boys are playing right

only 2 TOs!!

[PeteyPablo]

Clippers playing with effort. Knicks playing rugged out there but Clippers responding.

Kawhi came to play. George might have a big second half or maybe he is just hurt.

Great game so far.
