If Miami lets Spo go then Dolan has to spare no expense to get him here.

Going to need Deuce to show up this game. He's having a horrible postseason so far.

My only concern is Jalen Brunson. His ankle has not fully healed. Hopefully they can manage it so he can be productive. If not - we could be looking at the same situation as we were with Indy last year.

There ain't no way they're letting Spo go after signing that contract (last year, I believe, right?).

Knicks close this out tommorrow. Brunson won't put up a 16 again, and let Josh bring the ball over half, Brunson getting mugged 94 feet and has to be gassed just from getting to the front court...Pistons shot they waaad at MSG..back to back games like that..not happenin!

it was time last night. they've been working from behind all series. pause.

they won't be quiet until they're put down. is this team up to it?


These guys have talked all series long. Where is the pride?

This is what kills me. It's not even Cade talking sh*t, it's their ham and egger roleplayers!!!! Where is your pride??? Where is your rage!!!!? :banghead:

NOW I miss Donte. He would have been in these dudes faces telling them to shut their asses up. The only one who actually fought back physically so far this series was KAT!!!

Sorry for the exclamation points, GA I assure you I am not taking your calling card, I'm just pissed :lol:


Beasley is a liability to them.

I do agree about Donte though. He was a sparkplug that the team rallied around.

I'll have to re-read his quotes. I didn't get that impression. He bleeds Miami. Hard to imagine he'll go anywhere but up.

When is this team gonna come out with some urgency and actually start shooting with a purpose? I feel like they take 20 of the 24 just trying to set things up. You got too many shooters on the team to keep trying to get the best shot. Just put them up! There's a reason the Celtics and other teams are taking a record number of threes per game.

Donte was a spark plug but his postseason numbers were also kinda bad for us. It’s just that he hit big shots.

Bridges needs to hear this. He's so unwilling to put one up against Tim Hardaway early in the shot clock. Most times that's great, but it's Tim F'in Hardaway. Loosen up and keep Tim honest.

Never. Things don't click out the freaking blue. Thibs did do some things to adjust and get KAT the ball, but it's a loose and half-assed operation, so they reverted back, as we basically knew they would.

Again, if he's sitting there forgetting to call timeout, and the assistance coaches are not managing it either, at least enough to get his attention, then what do you think is going on behind closed doors or in the overall management of the team?

It doesn't work like that. If you see obvious bad things that nobody is supposed to be able to see, but then we do, there are a lot of other bad things you can't see.

For obvious reasons this is as good as a must win. Hope that Magic can extend their series.We want a beat up Boston.

would be nice if they can build an early lead and actually maintain it - and win a semi blowout.

but who am i kidding it's going to be another stressful game that comes down to the wire.

They were asking why Thibs doesn't do this more on the Bill Simmons podcast today with Kirk Goldsberry, which seems like a question we should all be asking.

Brunson and Towns have to lead the way.

Please feature Towns and Bridges in the post. Please do it. Why wouldn’t you?
