Win is on Thibs. 2-0. You gonna blame him for everything when things are down man up and credit him when we win.

2-0 ****

Also, Ihart.

Gotta come clean. I turned it off after the overturn when Lowry hacked OG and was awarded the ball. Saw how the refs were letting things slide. Saw JB take a Maxey charge/elbow to the face resulting in a terrible defensive foul call. Saw Batum body checking JB knocking him down as he was moving about.

So basically, I credit myself for the win.


Nobody could blame you, things did look pretty grim at that moment. We were all shocked with the next turn of events to say the least

He's wrong about the foul(s), but he's right about our need to free up Brunson. It's one thing to lose Randle but we can't continue to allow the Sixers to neutralize Brunson. We have to make an adjustment. The problem is that they are playing with a lot of length and using it on HIM.


Brunson has gotten his shots. He's just not making them like he usually does and his shot selection has been sub-par. They have not shut him down. He's just out of sync which Philly may have contributed to somewhat, but this is more of a Jalen Brunson adjustment than anything strategic.


They’re making him really work for those shots and a lot of them, as you discuss, have not been good shots. And then a lot of them, as you discuss, just didn't drop.

Ton of props to Thibs as well. All that prep paid off. He pushed all the right buttons. Great call to get Donte back in too

I love her!!!

That was crazy mph :D


she is one of us...and she is such a professional she didn't step on the play-by-play guy.

But her reactions and holding his arm...that is what sports is all about.


The guy in the white sleeve jacket in the background was locked in. No quit in him.

Can't believe this play. He has an open putbank dunk to tie the game, yet he chose the smart play instead.

I have to say it's really cool to see melo there with fan favorites from past eras. Like he isn't "jealous" of the current team's success and wants to be part of the celebration. He gets a bad rap for stuff like that.

I’m happy they’re still doubting the Knicks even after being a 2 seed and up 2-0 on Philly. Keep that chip on the shoulder.

I very much regret comparing iHart to Charles Smith when he first got here.

Donte is getting props for the game winning shot of course, but not enough love for what he did before Jalen’s three.

Jalen drove and lost the ball at the top of the key. Donte immediately rushed in from the corner to a pack of people to grab it. He then backs up, crosses over, drives, does a high gather to avoid swipes, sucks the defense in enough to kick it to Jalen for the trey.

That is not something a normal 3 pt gunner does. Donte isnt perfect of course, but he’s way more well rounded than some give him credit for. Played great defense in this one too. He wasn’t guarding Maxey much. When he’s rested his defense can be legit though.

It was looking like Donte wasnt even going to close the game but Deuce looked tired, and made a couple dubious plays/fouls down the stretch which kinda forced Thibs’ hand. So many things went right in the end.

Those final possessions was a team effort. Everyone made a big play. Brunson 3,Hart pressing up and Maxey and getting the steal, Shart grabbing that huge rebound in a sea of red and OG with the pass to Divo for 3. It was a beautiful thing….I'm still high on the moment.

Great anticipation, smarts, and hustle by IHart.

I’m trying to recall a bigger Knicks rebound in a playoff game.

Not just Villanova fans but fans that couldn’t afford MSG prices will be there heavy. I know at least 4 people that are going on Thursday all the way from Bk.
