it's the Jays. Dumb fouls, forced awful shots, turnovers, etc. Mental midgets. Nothing any coach can do when his star players aren't clutch. Just have to hope others around them hit their wide open threes this game unlike the previous two. If they blow a third 20 point lead their reputations will take a hit they'll never recover from.
Well they wouldn't be blowing a 20 point lead this time, it would be 30.
Progress?

You're still going to lose this series regardless of the outcome of this game, funny how you come out of the woodwork when you're winning but nowhere to be found when you lose

Why are you so confident the Knicks will win this series?

Not clutch… right. Don’t let 2 bad games ruin your narrative.

They seem inconsistently clutch. Sometimes they come through in big spots and sometimes they don't.

This was supposed to be a legacy game for Tatum, but everyone else but him is stepping up

Also, why does no one cut down the lane other than Holliday? The middle is wide open.

They come through more often than not which is why Tatum has more wins than anyone since he’s been in the league. It’s also the reason they were one of the best road teams in NBA history this year.
Oh and they’re the current NBA champions… it’s sounds incredibly dumb when people say they’re not clutch because of 2 games.
I mean look at Jokic. Been saved by Gordon 3 times these playoffs, is he not clutch? He’s missed 2 game winners

PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE Stop the "Tatum at the top of the key" one on one. He is forcing some terrible shots and possessions.

Jayson Tatum is the most robotic looking star player I've ever seen. I mean he's super athletic, but damn the way his moves are so telegraphed, he pushes off on everything, its just.. ew.

Might sound glib, may seem glitchy, but MSG is not going well for the Knickerbockers.
Now 5-0 on the road and 1-3 at home this postseason.
