Memphis played the Ws much tougher without Ja than with him in the playoffs last year

51 3rd quarter points

Knicks have the 2nd best road record in NBA..

2nd to the Celtics. Who the Knicks have now beatin 3/4 this year..

And there are “people who know the game” still believe the Knicks have a challenged roster, owned by the worst owner in all major sports have no shot whatsoever.

KL looks like an absolute shell of his former self and Westbrook allows defenses to collapse the the driving lanes and slow the offense to a grinding halt.

The instant I post something the clippers go on a 17-0 run. Gotta love my kiss of death.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

There were 18 games today with at least 1 30+ point scorer.
The most in NBA history.

Jalen Williams went for 32, 5, 5 with 2 steals and 2 blocks. I hope that is cartoon worthy!

Out of Santa Clara Univ.

Scratch that ^
I misread that stat on espn a bit ago after the Clips/Griz game...

It's actually 18 players scoring 30+ pts in 1 day of games...which is the most in NBA history.
There were 10 games today, and each game had at least 1 30+ pt scorer.

Tatum is an superstar in this league

Tatums proven to play under extreme pressure to win big games

Tatum is clutch

Horford is no Tatum !

And did horford hit the open uncontested shot?

No

You are stuck in the past.

Even Kobe and Jordan, known for stepping up and taking those shots, passed out of double teams to open shooters in the biggest moments of the biggest games.

It is the star’s job to create a good shot, not necessarily to take the shot.

Tatum did his job. Horford needs to make the shot.

Spot on ^
I hope you realize ( and I trust you do ) that pasta, is basically merely just an outlier in comparison to the vast majority of knowledgeable NY Knicks fans...and also with regard to all other savvy fans of basketball as well, either in here or elsewhere.

That said....I'm glad Horford missed....but I'm also glad Tatum didn't take that shot...because he has a knack for making tough shots and for getting to the FT line.

I'm happy the Knicks won...they were lucky to escape with the W in a hostile place and in double OT no less.

The Clipps had won 10 out of 14 before adding Russ.

1-5 since.

The Russ effect.

 

[bksballer89]

In 4 of his 6 games, he had the 2nd highest +/- amongst the starting lineup which is why the blame russ for everything narrative certain people on here run with is lazy and stupid. Watch these games and ask yourself is russ the reason they aren't winning these games?

He's getting too much flack for sure.

Dont get me wrong, he doesn't have much impact on winning as well but to act like the clips are losing because of him is a bit ridiculous

I'd not start him but that's just me.

25 mins off the bench

Yep but seems like the Clippers made him that promise for some reason. Probably knew that was the way to get him
