4th seed is ours with a win!
Boston is resting everyone
Tatum, Fournier, Smart, Thompson, Kemba, and Williams.
Thibs will have them ready and understand what they are playing for.
No injuries and lets celebrate a great season on our home court today!!!
Hey NY WE HERE!
#LFGK
LeBron definitely didn’t look as explosive as usual, his lift wasn’t there. But he still played a hell of a game and hit yet another clutch shot in a career full of them.
Hopefully injuries don’t ruin these playoffs because they should be really fun with all these talented teams.
That little bastard Carusso made 2 of the biggest defensive plays. That steal off a scramble when the warriors were plus 12 that turned into a 3 pointer for the Lakers and forcing Steph into that turnover with the Warriors up 3 and 2 and a half minutes left.
I think there’s a real chance you guys get Towns. The spacing would be unfair and Draymond could cover for Towns’ D to an extent. It would be a crazy talented offensive team but I wouldn’t hate you guys.
I would absolutely hate your team again if Kawhi goes there lol.

They forced so many sloppy turnovers from the Warriors. Steph is incredible, might be the most impactful offensive player ever. Just insane. Draymond was also incredible defensively, he shut down Anthony Davis. Really hope Klay comes back healthy so they can compete for titles again, but they’ll be a tough out against Utah if they get past Memphis.

Caruso honestly looked like their 3rd most important player. Dude is such a smart player and pretty athletic too. I know Knicks fans mentioned Schroder above but I think it was very telling that with the season kinda on the line, that Vogel benched Schroder for Caruso/Matthews. Schroder better rethink the kind of contract he’s going to get. He’ll have his moments during these playoffs but he is pretty damn average overall.
He is a fantastic interview... about as composed and thoughtful in his answers as Joe Judge. Check them out.

That the Warriors are going to trade Wiseman, a guy like Oubre or Wiggins, and a few picks (including one they acquired from the Twolves) for a star player, and everyone is gonna be pissed.

I think that would require too many assets from GS, unless Towns pulls an AD and just refuses to play in Minnesota.
I am thinking maybe a Bam Adebayo-caliber player. Not him specifically, but something along those lines.
Schedule is out for the series. Wed. Game 2. Shocked that Sunday is 7pm TNT. I thought for sure they'd be ABC earlier at either 3 or 5:30, but then again I though ABC would have a doubleheader but they only have 1 game and it makes sense that it is the Lakers.
Will you be able to catch the game?
I'm going to be in a sea of Celts fans. The attic-where I = crash when flying solo-is like an altar to the Bird era Cs.

be in fucking Costa Rica for half of this series lol. What timing.

I think so. We'll be at the hotel in the evenings so I imagine they'll be on TV or I can just stream them.
I wish we had Jordan and Bird's full career numbers on this list, I'm sure they'd be up there. But it's pretty wild how much LeBron stands out from the others. I'm also kind of shocked that Robert Horry only has 3 of these, although this doesn't include his Rockets career where he was also clutch.
Absolutely. Tier 1 marketer though.
He was atrocious in Game 7 of the '10 Finals. Atrocious.
Love me some Costa Rica. Brought my daughter to Papagayo not long ago - the Andaz right on Culebra Bay. Hot as hell, but awesome. Got attacked at the pool by some monkeys too. That was interesting.

No shit? Flying into Liberia it's about a 30-40 minute drive to the resort. Get ready to walk up and down some steep pathways at the resort. They will shuttle you around in a golf cart too. Try to get a room near the pool so you don't have to walk in the heat. It can be rough. Also, suggest grabbing dinner or drinks at the Four Seasons right up the road.
Nice. Make some fucking noise!
Truth be told, I think 76ers roll either Wiz or Pacers.

No doubt. I hope Fuck Trae Young chants are in store, Haha.
+1. And I expect it to be bonkers. If I was a Hawks fan, I sure as hell wouldn't want this to go 7 because imagine a Game 7 @ MSG? Good Lord.
He's 80 now and is retiring.

Del, loved Marv growing up in '80s & '90s, but he lost his fastball awhile ago. Helluva career though.
I miss the NBA on NBC with Marv...those were the days.
Knicks have to get off to a fast start, Hawks are a young team, first time playing in front of a crowd like that, it might rattle them a little bit
Yeah, that's a no. Marv was really good, but John was a bit of a curmudgeon at times. Clyde is a Fucking riot.
I hear ya. All four are solid. That said, it's interesting to witness announcers change their tact when the team is suddenly winning.
Totally disagree. I enjoy prime Marv don’t get me wrong but Breen is my favorite BBall play by play guy, and I could literally listen to Clyde call an egg painting contest and I’d enjoy it .
How can two 6th man candidates be from the Jazz?? By definition, one of those guys can't be 6th!

For purposes of the award, the definition of an eligible player is one who comes off the bench in more games than he starts.
Doesn't even matter if the player actually plays starter-level minutes. Jason Terry won the award in 2008-09 playing 34 minutes a game.
So there's nothing in the definition to prohibit multiple nominees from the same team.
Of course, there could be a rule that any one team could only have one nominee, but how you would limit nominees to one per team in terms of a "sixth man" concept itself isn't obvious.

Before I had cable tv growing up I used to listen to Marv on the radio, and even Marty Glickman and Bob Wolf would occassionally fill in. They were great as was Johnny Hoops but Breen and Clyde are unmatched for me. Breen gives you so much more description and knowledge. He's reffed at the youth/HS level so he has knowledge there. Clyde is simply my favorite color guy in any sport ever. He actually makes the game more enjoyable for me, his adjectives are so much fun, not to mention he represents the only truly great Knicks era ever. He may be a true old timer but he's so good at bringing the game back to its basics that are timeless.
The 3-point shooting is why I think the Knicks beat Atlanta: If Atlanta single-teams Randle, he will devour them. If they double-team him a lot, the Knicks have 5 ultra-high-quality 3-point shooters Julius can pass to: Barrett, Burks, Bullock, Rose and Quickly, and of course, they have shown a high capacity for quick hockey assists--two rapid passes along the circle to find the open shooter. Can Atlanta handle this? I do not think so.
