That and give the ball to KAT so he can trip all over himself going to the rim

Who the hell hard hedges in 2025, especially against of the best 3 point shooting teams in the league? Tatum just getting warm up 3 pointers from this coverage.

In fact, why are they letting Tatum shoot open 3s? I haven't seen this guy score inside the 3 point line outside of wide open transition layups.

Knicks are garbage on both ends of the floor. Enjoy the backdoor sweep

Guys plays offense so finesse and fragile. loves always fading away from the basket

A) Just gotta get to the 4th in Brunson-range
B) We're a road team this postseason, so giving back HCA helps us :lol:

The Knicks stopped hedging with Brunson and got stops.

It's natural for a shooter to make a little bit of a forward kick motion. Most great shooters do it.

Am I missing something? Brunson kicked his foot forward and he’s the one that caused his landing on Brown’s foot. brown didn’t put his foot under Brunson.

Brunson is such a bad defender...his off-ball defense is really bad
