PG: Saved By The KAT

[mpharris36]

I also was watching on my phone without much sound. Did they acknowledge the horrible whistle?

Like I wasn't as locked in with the phone.

But the Delon wright foul the KAT travel. The Brunson and KAT fouls late looked completely bogus!

Is it crazy to say Deuce is becoming one of our better shooters? He played with such purpose tonight. The dunk attempt got blocked but the fact he went so hard he drew the foul. Loved that energy.

Payne should not play another second in this series, Wright / Shamet being able to switch onto all of their guards is so much more important than whatever Cam brings to the table.

We have controlled the pace in all 3 games, if we can stop some of their transition and clean up our turnovers we're going to blow them out.

I'm giving props to Thibs he made the adjustment to start Mitch. Yes it's late as a motherf@#er. but he made it.

To be fair, we got blown out in the first half.

Good point but having a 9 man rotation helped win this game. I don't know if we win with the 7 man rotation. Shoutout to Delon Wright as well.

Brunson comes back and KAT didn’t shoot again

Whatever lol

This is freaking unacceptable.

I’ve been very critical of Josh Hart this series but he had some vintage Josh Hart moments in the 2nd half. I love his effort and it’s been hard to play him with how he’s performed these playoffs, but he was huge down the stretch

I think he needs to be fresh...

Mrs. MP is gonna make that basement your permanent residence watching the game on your phone at a wedding... but worth it!

She actually wasn't there. Was with my brothers it was a cousins weddings like 4 hours away and no kids we allowed so they are young and we didn't feel comfortable leaving with a sitter that far away.

But it's hilarious she texted me during the wedding not how the wedding was going. She texted me how the Knicks were doing.

She knows me too well lol

She is locked in!

Not that it needs to be said but you're a better man than me cause I wouldn't have went.

The only way im missing a ECF knicks game for a wedding is if my wife makes me go and even then it depends on who's wedding it is. Ive got a decent couch and am well practiced on begging for forgiveness.

I couldn't miss it. 1st cousin. And I accepted before we even knew the ECF schedule.

They just knew the deal. My dad and brothers were just huddled at a table watching like nut jobs.

Brunson is from a scoring aspect having a good series but from a distributor part of his game he is having a really bad series.

Completely off topic but they got to get a older PG to come in and help Brunson improve that part of his game

Also great game for KAT but the fact that defensively he and Brunson have to be staggered either by the coaches or by fouls says a lot and should be the biggest question about this roster. Like the offensive talent is definitely there but there is a glaring defensive hole on the roster as well.

I love that this team gutted it out. I think that might be maybe a core aspect of their team personality. Don’t quit!

he has been a bad distributor all season long

They kind of suggested the refs were not exceptional

they dont really play well with each other

Guess who was playing center when the Knicks played lockdown defense, made the improbable comeback, and gained the lead to snatch this win.....

You may have been right in saying to start Deuce instead of Mitch over Josh.

The problem really in the starting five though boils down to JB’s unwillingness to share the scoring load with KAT.

[K_ick_God]

and stop saying you like him. you don't. just own up to it. and he just had 2 great games in this series. this one was just ok.

I do like him. You can’t read my mind. I’m honest, but he’s a one way player and I don’t think his defense is as good as you do

Listen we don’t agree but I think you’re a smart, good guy. Just be happy your team won a big one

you don't like him. and i don't like kat. who was great in the 4th quarter. but we don't have to pretend. and it has nothing to do with you and me. don't be silly.

I think he's pretty great chasing the perimeter. That puts fear in the other team and is disruptive. I don't see him as all that good at recognizing cutters or drivers. In fact I think he's not great there. He did have a huge, huge block tonight.

Not sure what to tell you. I can like Mitch without thinking we should take KAT out of the 5. I think KAT needs to play 5 on offense.

My favorite player of all time is John Starks. Doesn't mean I think he was better than MJ.

I think Mitch is maybe expensive for what you get but if our silly coach would use him right, he'd be helpful.

To a large degree, he has proven me wrong with how he played against Boston. But he also was really bad in G1 at the end and OT, and didn't seem focused. But unlike with Thibs, I don't dislike him. I do dislike Thibs. And Mikal.

OG was good tonight. That's ultimately all I care about.

You are willing to sacrifice KAT at 5 for Mitch. It's a scoring league and we desperately need KAT.

Two guys with immense talent playing two positions that are supposed to compliment each other very well. This is a coaching issue.

He’s had games, but there is a reason Hart is the equivalent of Draymond to Curry when it comes to Brunson running the offense.

He looked out of it. He did have the big score though. I'm not trying to be "right" but I do think I'm right that KAT is the key and the fact that JB going out led to KAT igniting the whole team is really very noteworthy.

I also think KAT is a better defender in spots than JB, due to size and some aggression. He is a poor help defender, that's true. I would disagree that Mitch is a great help defender though. I do not see that at all, he gets caught napping.

Brunson drew the charge argue with your mother.

Take notes Mikal!!!
