You should’ve punched him Nerlens.

You hate to see it

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Old mad yelling at cloud coming through but I miss the on-court NBA Playoffs logo and I am moderately irritated to see that a presumably superimposed on-court advertisement for the Fast & the Furious 9 has taken its place.

Especially since they do digital logos now, there's 0 reason not to include it IMO

First 2 games when Rose came from the bench were much closer.

The worst part as a Knicks fan but best part as a tanking advocate is the reward for doing things the right way is the opportunity to max Randle and the 19th pick [emoji23].

So putting Trae in the PnR constantly isn't in NY's playbook or did I just miss it?

Randle should prepare for a rough night on Wednesday if he plays like he has been.

This is straight up embarrassing. I’m sorry New York.

Nope. They leave Trae on Bullock who just stands in the corners allowing Trae (who started the half with 3 fouls BTW) to rest up.

That might be a ejection

That was a “F*** you!” foul.

Yes this makes no sense why NY doesn’t make him work on defense. I assumed going into the series that would be goal #1. Instead it’s just like the regular season where he just gets to stand there on defense against the worst offensive player.

Game 1: Knicks bench outscores the Hawks bench 64 - 31 (+33).
Game 2: Knicks bench outscores the Hawks bench 55 -22 (+33).
Game 3: Knicks bench gets outscored 31-28 (-3).
Game 4 (so far): Knicks bench gets outscored 35-21 (-14).

I say let Rose come in with the 2nd unit.
