Herro laid a HUGE egg.

They should have stripped him of being an All Star this year after that Game 4 performance.

Dray is incredible

He was a wall on that last possession. Impressive as hell

Nice to see Jimmy get his “joy” back. The same night his old team got utterly humiliated.

Also people love to gas up Ime... and that was the pkay he came up with. Go 1v1 in an iso against dray. Questionable life choice.

Ime forgot the only reason Sengun was able to put up all those points was because Dray was in foul trouble and had to sit.

But I don’t know what else who could come up with there. FVV was shooting well but he is no JB. Perhaps Ime should have trusted Jalen Green to deliver, but I hardly felt that guy’s presence this game.

Yeah, his hands were kinda tied on that one. Rockets really are missing the main piece. I think going with fvv would have been better than going at dray.

How much better would we be right now if we had sent Mikal for Butler at the trade deadline? Legit contender or no?

Jimmy is a certified Celtics killer but he is too banged up and terrible spot up 3-point shooter. So in a weird sense - yes and no. He helps us get pass Boston but against Cavs or the Western teams we are better off with Mikal, I believe

Pat Riley as team president has had zero desire to help the Knicks in the last 30 years. He would not have traded Jimmy to NY even if we offered him Brunson. Plus, did Miami ever express any willingness to trade him to an Eastern Conference team?

Horrible job by Erik Spoelstra failing to get his team prepared. Overrated coach, he should be fired ASAP.

Just don’t forget these things next time y’all take a dump on our players, guys.

Yeah exactly. I’ve also grown somewhat impatient with his shot making this series, but tbf he should actually be featured more in the post. He’s being reduced to a lot of bail-out threes and transition baskets. This coach should get more out of Bridges and I totally agree that other teams’ players shouldn’t be overrated all the time. Not that Butler is overrated, but he certainly cannot shoot. Look at Herro last night. JJJ did not make any difference for the outcome of their series against OKC. So there is something Bridges brings to the table, and y’all cannot always compare their best features and performances with our players’ worst.

Nice to see he’s doing what Amare did! Giannis is gonna be a cheat code in the low post next year on the Knicks!

I sincerely urge everyone here to learn a new language or to take up crocheting this off-season rather than spend 4 months posting about Giannis to Knicks trades. Your mental health will thank me later

Going to be amazing seeing Giannis on the Knicks next year with Brunson. Two 30 PPG players in the playoffs. Shaq and Kobe sht!

We're not getting him and you won't like it 8-)

You see this and think they're trading him for anything less than Sengun, Reed, Whitmore, Eason and the Suns picks?

The trade for him will be young star, plus picks from another doomed team.

[Marc Stein] NBA execs believe Knicks traded for KAT to flip him in bigger deal, potentially for Giannis

I believe that Shenseea and I should be shopping for homes later on today, just because I believe it doesn't mean it'll happen

Why would a team with no picks, no future and no young players want any star over 25?
