@Balldontlie@YahooSports Thunder won the game (anyway), are in first, and are the reigning champs. Everyone that acts like he’s first to get to the line and push the lines on creating space are just butthurt about the previous sentence.
NBC CALLED OUT OKC for HACKING on defense:
"We talk about it all the time with OKC, they grab, they scratch, they claw, they foul, they do it EVERY SINGLE play. When you do it like that, how do you call it all?
Huerter has claw marks all across his arm. Looks like wolverine was guarding him."
KAT: “I don’t think we’ve seen [our best] yet…
We still have these games…
We’re still learning what we’re trying to accomplish in the system
…
We’ve got time
Not a lot
We’ve got time”

I want the Knicks so bad in the second round. I want it. I need it. I deserve it. I had to watch that fanbase celebrate Tatum’s injury & victory lap over a second round win over a hospital team.
It won’t be sweet this year.
"If I'm Toronto or Atlanta and I'm looking at the standings, I want the Knicks..." 👀 🤨

"I'm still trying to figure out where I could impact our team and winning the most."
@MikeyBThatsMe@Hero_OfThe_Day Also a fair point but the fact that I can think of 4-5 terrible missed foul calls off the top of my head is pretty insane. That game was not called the same both ways there’s no tip toeing around it
@Smittycaleb19@Hero_OfThe_Day Maybe your team should drive to the hoop more instead of shooting 35 3s. I'd understand if they were losing by double digits the entire game but it was close throughout. You're not going to get a ton of fouls called when shooting all those 3 pointers.
@Acehardlight98@firelvrd@NYK_Mentality85 Whahaha that is not what that means. That means that the Knicks were outplayed by the Thunder by 11 points total and 13 with Brunson on the floor. It’s an absolutely meaningless stat that randomly shines on different players depending on the night
@firelvrd@Smittycaleb19@NYK_Mentality85 you clearly dont understand what it means. it means that Brunson basically gave back all the points he scored (and more)
