It's like in '04 when the media acted like the Lakers beat themselves because apparently the Pistons had nothing to do with it. I get it, it's hard to give credit to the guy after how strongly everyone came out against him in the pre-season. He's no All-Star but he's been just what this team needed and a big part of why they're here. We shouldn't be able to compare his numbers and impact to the All-NBA player he's matched up against in this series, but that's actually what we're able to do and it says a lot about both players.

Class act.

People are talking about KAT being ineffective, but few on here are giving any credit to Tobias. Nationally they are, as they should be. Even though KAT's bigger, Tobias has been battling him non-stop and doing a nice job making him feel it. You do that enough and KAT wilts because he doesn't want to go the post and fight for position all game. He wants to shoot from outside and Tobias is quick enough to guard him out there. I'll also point out that in 2 games Tobias has 19 rebounds while shooting 14-24 and 5-9 from three. Everyone knocked this signing because he's not an All-Star, but he's been one of our most important high level role players on and off the court. However, as Del said earlier, you have to look at your starting Center when you're required to hide him on Hart since he can't guard in space. How much do you want to pay that guy? If Tibbs wasn't so stubborn he'd play McBride instead and then what? In fact, I'd be surprised if that isn't the main adjustment (along with more Cade traps) we'll see from the next game. Hopefully Stew will be back to provide the answer to that adjustment.

I love that they showed the Paul Pierce clip wheelchair incident afterwards.

Wow. That LAC vs Denver game was nuts.

Kawhi is insane right now. Torching the Nuggets.

Playoff drought snapped! Winning this game on the road when the three ball completely abandoned you is huge. Also wonder if JB discovered something here. Nobody is stopping Brunson’s flopping, but maybe more minutes with Schroeder harassing him so Ausar can work his off-ball roaming, stealing, and disruptive help defense without fouling out. Worth trying.

Brunson was so open. KAT tripped Schroeder on the screen but Tobias has to switch and cover Brunson. Survived though, so I’ll take it.

I foul here.

This game is costing me years.

Please just make 1 free throw.

OG holding Cade the whole time.

You’re kidding me right? That’s an offensive foul.

Holy hell that posession was trash. Of course Brunson gets to hang on Cade.

How many free throws will the Knicks shoot from here to the end?

Another wide open three missed. A Knick fell down so must be a foul. Give them free throws.

Uphill battle against the knicks plus the refs but if you make some threes it won’t be an issue. Time to step up.

Here come the refs. You’re not getting a call for the rest of the game.

Wow. KAT and Brunson manhandling Duren and Ausar on that play and no calls.

How is that a foul when Hart falls? That’s why you don’t give up your challenge so early. Refs are about to step in and tighten this up.

He’s putting in some solid minutes for sure. He’s quick on the help defense and is good with deflections.

That’s not a foul.

Brunson hooks and then gets the foul call.

Gotta hit some threes in the 4th. Time for one of these vets to step up because they’re going to attack Cade.

Yup.
