White is a guy I will always root for and that play shows why. He was like this even at the Spurs, dudes always been awesome.

Brunson takes too long to get the offensive possession going.

This is a dude who shot 38/26 splits in the finals and they still won.

And people are shocked when he isn't mentioned amongst the top players.

Knicks should challenge that call, White is not in the position to call a time-out should be a jumpball.

Oh, I did not realize the Knicks have the player with the highest playoff winning percentage of the last six seasons on their roster... the anti-Ben Simmons, if you will. I would've picked Boston in five if I'd known NYK had P.J. Tucker.

Can't remember if it was six seasons or ten, actually. It was in the trivia on the Saturday Slam 'n' Jam.

Knicks.

One chance.

One opportunity.

They need the C's to advance

White had control and the coach was screaming for timeout before Celtics managed to get their hands on it.

Step back 3 in a tie game is insane.
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.
