Im starting lowry at the second half. He runs the offense better, clearly having our best quarter with him at the point.

Effort was fine first quarter. We missed some shots and they made some than those weird calls started happening and it allowed them so much momentum. Effort and energy is there.

Why does Butler look much worse in the last couple of games than he did prior? Cortisone shot wearing off or what? Reminds me of D Wade’s bone bruises in the playoffs in 2013 and 2014 where he’d randomly alternate between looking fine and extremely injured

ESPN can save money and just run Knicks local broadcasters.

Brunson literally keeping them in it. Need to slow his roll and we’ll get the dub.

They aren't? If you weren't watching the game you wouldn't know who the Knicks were playing based off that halftime show.

I'm guessing Butler aggravated his ankle more during game 4. I remember with Wade he'd have to get his knee drained from the swelling of rubbing bone on bone, and then it'd be weak for a game, then he'd seem good for 1 or 2 until it built up again then rinse repeat.

We have to attack Brunson and RJ, both have 3. Put the pressure on the refs

Those early calls really got NY going. We were fighting an uphill battle. We've done well to grind it out. Foster is a piece of work. Hopefully he's on our side the rest of the way.

Would feel better with Lowry in the game early to do this. He’s a vet, and has crafty moves to draw a whistle.

Gabe…yeah…

Man we need to find a way to target him when we're on offense and run him around and maybe even get him to foul a few more times and this game is ours.

Jimmy's been strange since gm5. He just doesn't look right at all. Nothing like that monster vs Bucks & first several games in this series.

If somehow he can overcome what ever he's going through this 2nd half Knicks are in trouble.

Jimmy a little slower but gotta give the Knicks credit they're playing him well. Jimmy getting the best of them at times is just a credit to how good of a player he is but the defense is tough.

Yep! Spo hates to make adjustments like that, but Lowry needs to start this 2nd half imo. It's time, Gabe ain't it in this matchup.
