Yikes, borderline flagrant by Towns.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

Towns is one of the few players who has a funny personality off the court and he has a funny on-court game too.

Bridges is so useless lol they gave up so much for him to just park in the corner. He needs to step it up.

Yeah the guy scoring 31 ppg on 61% ts in the playoffs can’t hit the side of the barn. Your takes are trash


No sir because IN THIS GAME...he's bricking.


I mean he was 4-10 at the half which is okay. You’re acting like he was 2-15 with the way you’re crying and complaining

This is exactly why Minny gave Kat away. Guys will see him shoot deep 3s and think he's an elite big man. He's Channing Frye and that's it. 0 game

I'm not sure what the Knicks can do. Brunson is so elite on offense, but his defense is just atrocious. Detroit just didn't know how to attach him on that end with their inexperience. Can a time win with such an elite offensive player who is a major defensive sieve like Brunson? They've tried with adding elite defenders on the wings, but it is clearly not enough.

Anyone else infuriated by this Google Gemini commercial? Not only is it dumb, there's this abrasive "ding ding ding" at the end two beats after the commercial is over, just to fill space?

6’4” Derrick White just straight-up stuffed KAT on a dunk attempt.

I love that guy

From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Knicks are finding out what the Wolves found out last year. They were better off with Randle over KAT. Sometimes the bigger star isn’t the better fit.
