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



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...

Line: LAC -6.5 O/U: 228.5

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.

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

Good to have PG back. Bones is out.

Let’s keep it going.

Zu ended that man’s life. Sheesh.

Damn that was sweet. Zu came to play

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

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

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.

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

Kawhi, Zu, Harden, and Westbrook locked in.

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.

I was hoping PG would be out for some time.

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!!

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.

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!!

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.
