the knicks are purposely giving him those shots.


he's not Steph but he isn't jacking anything up..almsost all of his 3's were open
if the Knicks are gonna let Love, Vincent, Struss etc. "jack" open 3's, they will have a hard time winning the series

he rushed some of those for no reason, he needs to settle down and take those shots as long as he's given these shots


What works in our favor is that between how physical we are and how well we rotate/close-out, a lot of guys seem to rush their shots against us even when open...but yeah, we can't bank on those guys missing wide open 3s like we did Okoro, Mobley, & Rubio.

Wildest I’ve seen MSG in years. Even as a Celtics fan I’ll admit they deserve a winner. Too many years of bad basketball in that city.

That Robinson/Hartenstein rotation is a load man. You could see Allen wear down as the series progressed. JBB couldn't, but everyone else could.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Poor Milwaukee. Miami had an outlier series to who they really are.

With the way RJ's cooking so far, not sure having Herro out there would've helped. :lol:

Barrett has really hunted Herro in previous matchups

Yeah, i'm just shocked how bam looks like out there. He's suppose to be the 2nd star to Jimmy but looking like a role player out there.

I really don't think the Knicks miss a beat with Toppin out there instead of Randle

So the Heat might not be the greatest shooting team ever and the entire regular season was an anomaly. Time will tell.

That was less good obi, can't get lost like that.

Grimes getting comfortable in this postseason would be awesome.
