The Knicks really should be up by 15 plus.

What a waste of Brunon master-class first quarter

He was too far under the basket and his momentum was carrying forward. He still should have made it but that's all I can think of :lol:

He ain't no hack. He's a director of one of the greatest shows ever put on television.


I remember when Ben Stiller showed up with his dad at
tiny Stadium theatre in Woonsocket RI for the premiere of Theres Something About Mary while Matt Dillon and Cameron Diaz stayed at some hotel and skipped the premiere. That was cool of Stiller to show up. Woody Harrelson showed up too. Fun night!

He's not on the injury report and the box score says DNP-CD but he hasn't seen the court ever since jamming his finger and going back to the locker room.

You don't need to defend Wright from 3 point line because he just isn't a good shooter.

They probably play really good defense that lead to fast break.

But that is basically a one man offensive lineup.

Pascal’s 85+ playoff games really pay off in these situations, he’s seen it all.
