2 to tie, 3 to win. Went for it, or at least that was the shot they got.

Is it still necessary to interview players from 20 feet away in an Arena at this point? Lol

Wow.... Miami had that game. A great penultimate possession for them, getting the extra pass to the open three in the corner. They just couldn’t get the last shot. I thought Duncan Robinson’s defense on Middleton was very good. He just made a tough, bad (in my opinion) shot.

Good job Bucks, I guess.

I can’t get over forever doomed. The Knicks have been crap for 20 years if you haven’t noticed. And they are still the draw over the “cool brand” with all the talent.

That's what I mean tho. NY still embracing that team in spite of all the on court and off court nonsense, and probably against their better judgement sometimes. They would rather suffer - with the occasional blip season or two of decent quality here and there, like this year - than think of embracing a new team in town.

Great shot by Middleton.

Well that was a hell of a game 1. Weird one too. Seemed like outside of Duncan, everyone was struggling on the offensive end. A lot of missed open 3’s, layups, tip ins, etc.

It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that the Heat took 50 3pt shots in that game.

That’s the thing. It’s not a new team in town.

They’re the same team (that had success BTW) across the water in the swamps of NJ.

If no one liked them back then, a new arena, new merch or new players isn’t going to change anything.

Clippers moving to Inglewood won’t gain them any diehard Lakers fans. Same thing.

I've rooted for the Knicks for nearly 50 years....can't jump ship when times get rough (and I've seen plenty of rough times). I'm not going to be a fraud and jump on the Nets bandwagon. They're not in my blood like the Knicks are.

I haven't rooted for the Nets since their ABA days, when I lived a mile from the Nassau Coliseum. That was mostly because of The Doctor.

I respect that. I have a good friend in Long Island and he’s a long time Knicks fan, going back to the 90’s Ewing/Starks/Oakley era. He refuses to switch to the Nets and he in fact roots against them very strongly.

It’s the same way I am with the Blazers. I’m a fan through good and bad, and God knows there’s been a lot of bad.
