It’s loud as fuck at the Garden.

Yes, I’ve been waiting all game to say that

[ricky towel]

Tie game!

[ricky towel]

What the fuck is Sting doing there?

[justinandimcool]

+14 quarter

the inside defense was good but Atlanta continuing to wilt on completely open shots. Bullock and Randle were huge with better luck getting to their spots

by my count only one Trae Young pnr run in that quarter, gotta think they barrage is gonna come late

[justinandimcool]

Huerter/Williams minutes -17 by my count, in like 10 minutes

Toppin and Quickley making plays! Gallinari offense killing Atlanta

[justinandimcool]

Young didn’t even need screens to get the barrage of floaters but good job having Bullock meet him half court at 91-91

Rose!!! feels like a prize fight down there, Knicks working for every possible advantage on offense

[justinandimcool]

Bullock the MVP- his ability to funnel Young and get it out of his hands has been missing for 91 minutes this series

second MVP is Atlanta shooting. wide wide open misses

third MVP is McMillan. bailed out New York by going away from pnr

[justinandimcool]

Westbrook got food thrown at him by Philadelphia fans lol, New York fans gotta step it up

[Roose13]

Oh no, poor baby Russ got hit by a little popcorn. Look, throwing shit at players is uncalled for, but Russ acted like he was shot. What a fucking baby.

[justinandimcool]

^ i think he reacted like any of us would have tbh


Valanciunas in foul trouble, horrible turn of events for Utah lol

not impressed by Utah’s looks at all, Memphis defense looks very un-stressed out even with Mitchell

[justinandimcool]

guess i’m counting non-Brooks minutes now, game has completely changed without him. Mitchell has arrived, ruh roh

[justinandimcool]

Utah found their stroke! much needed for Conley and Ingles.

Memphis -8 without Brooks in the 1q

[Balor3012]

Almost had a stroke when they called a foul when Nerlens/Bullock tied up Young on the deep wing. Pressure forced tougher shots for unproven guys for the Hawks even if they were "open" looks in the 3rd and 4th.

[Balor3012]

Brooks is the most volatile player in the league

Lol what? This is a terrible take.

Ummmmmm.....fuck that fan. Big time.

[Balor3012]

I guess we know who threw the popcorn and will never be allowed back in the arena. Hope it was worth it roose

[Balor3012]

Hell of a comeback by the grizz

[justinandimcool]

freaking incredible. Memphis keeps it within distance, baiting midrangers and eventually the three point and free throw well ran dry. Favors/non-Gobert minutes continue to be brutal, but Memphis killed it with floatertown the whole 3q.

Valanciunas has been huge on the boards

[justinandimcool]

dang okay nvm this super small lineup isn’t working lol at least with Jackson. Gobert taking over on both ends.

[Balor3012]

Mitchell just left the game

[Balor3012]

JJJ probably isn't gonna be that guy. I have no idea how to profile him

[JRS1386]

fuck the fan who threw the popcorn.

[justinandimcool]

Jackson’s only been playing for a few weeks so i give him the benefit of the doubt. he does look like a baby deer sometimes and there’s not a ton of natural basketball instinct there at least on defense. he’s surviving mostly on talent but it’s a high unicorn level of talent.

reminds me Bosh as a faceup/roll man, just wildly inconsistent. on defense he ranges from Christian Wood to Bam Adebayo level impact but he’s only played a few games it’s hard to tell

[justinandimcool]

Morant reverse dunk was wow


Niang is so mood this year lol

[Balor3012]

He's not as tall as Bosh though right? He's almost like Atlanta Milsap with a little more athleticism but none of the defensive instincts. Anyway he's weird but good but they just have zero interior defense with him and Val and that's why there are so many good outside looks for the jazz

[Balor3012]

Gobert has the highest +/- for the Jazz. The Grizz can win the non Rudy minutes by a hair but Gobert just owns the floor

[Balor3012]

Ja Morant is incredible

[justinandimcool]

his +/- for the year is obscene. dpoy and it’s not really close


Morant going crazy but Conley has had a similar effect creating shots on these high pnr with Gobert. he has arrived!

[Balor3012]

Charges suck thats an and one for Brooks
