Wowowowowowow we need to win the east



ORLANDO MAGIC JUST MISSED 23 SHOTS IN A ROW, AS THEY CHOKED AWAY GAME 6 AT HOME 😳❌ 14 straight minutes of game time without a single field goal made… Thoughts? 🤔

I did the math. At the start of the 4th quarter, the Knicks lead 117-64. The Knicks could take a 24 second violation on every possession, let the Hawks dunk (assume 5 seconds of inbounding + transition time) and they would still win the game unless the Hawks fouled or shot and made a ton of 3s. 12:00 = 720 seconds Each cycle: 24s burn + 5s dunk = 29s 720 / 29 ≈ 24 cycles Possessions: 24 + 1 opening = 25 Max points: 25 × 2 = 50 Comeback cap = 50 → need 51 Lead here = 53 Game over.


Jayson Tatum suffered a calf injury in tonight‘s game. Potentially very concerning as the series turns to a pivotal Game 7. Depending on the specifics of the injury, there is a chance he misses this game.
