Y’all need to pipe down on the dirty ****. Bam is not dirty and never has been, if he was everyone in the league would hate him but he’s one of the most beloved players in the league. You all are crying to cry, this is how y’all act after a win?

Not mad at bam for what he's doing, he's doing it because it works!! The refs need to call a fair game. These screens are clearly wrong and the guy is clearly wreckless. He's has to get fouls called on him like everyone else. That's not crying, that's just wanting a good faith effort to call a fair game. Nobody denies that the heat are a very good team. Why cloud victory with questionable calls or non calls. The refs should be a non story.

Another big game tomorrow gentlemen. Can New York win 2 in a row to take it to 7 games where they'd have to win 3 consecutive to take the series. It's a tough ask. If you can force this to go the distance & take it back home there's a possibility.

Taking 3 in a row vs this tough Heat squad is no easy feat. I initially had this in 6 & believe this should end tomorrow.

Either way have a great game Knicks fans. Nothing Easy, Everything Earned.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

cgf wrote:The next day and this still tastes bittersweet. Sweet because this run has been fun even if it ends here; especially after how much s*** people were talking about the Knicks heading into the cleveland series. But it's bitter because, just like game 1, that was a winnable game...we were just way too sloppy all night and we could not get the stops we needed in the 4th...despite how resilient and well coached Miami is.

Glad the mid-3 played well...but we've yet to get a monster game from Julius or Jalen, and now we need one from each just to get to a game 7. Was good to see Grimes looking more like himself again, wasn't as dynamic at the rim as usual and was only solid from deep, but he seems to be starting to find his playoff footing...which, like RJ elevating his game ever since game 2 of that Cavs series, should be big for us moving forward.

I know that the common wisdom is that depth doesn't matter, but we've really been missing that effective 2nd unit that we had throughout the regular season with IQ, Obi, and our two Harts that beat as one. I love Deuce's energy defensively but he can't provide the spark that we need from Quickley; which he just has not delivered this postseason...and it's those second unit minutes, when Jimmy, Bam, JuJu, and Jalen are resting, that are winning this series for Miami.


Well, we got a monster game from Jalen to extend this. Can Ju come through with a monster game of his own to send this thing back to the garden for game 7?

Would be a nice time for Randle to hit 8-9 3s on 12-14 attempts en route to a 40+ pt game. He hasn't had one of those yet this postseason...

I'd say about 1/3rd of those are moving screens. There were quite a few screens in there that I thought were not up for debate.

In general, I think moving screens are a lot like foul calls generally and/or traveling calls: if you called them all, we'd end up with the coaching staffs playing one another.
