Knicks about to win this with a buzzer beater all because the Celts think live by the 3 die by the 3 is a great idea when all you need is a layup.. for like the last six minutes of the game.

Jayson Tatum has the least "it" factor of a top 5 player I've ever seen. Or maybe he's just not top 5, I dunno.

Always disliked Tatum's shot selection
I know Kobe's his favorite player but you don't have to always go out of your way to take bad shots

Tatum is so good outside of these moments. Give it to Jaylen Brown.

+1 you've been saying it all playoffs


It was a complaint I got from my late father. He was a baseball nut and he used to say allowing a timeout while you're lying on the court is like allowing a hitter to step out of the box with pitch in air.

If a knick made that play, they wouldve called a jumpball
