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.

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.

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.
I don't know

If this has received much press outside the Bay Area but the whole Juan Toscano-Anderson thing is an awesome story. He made some great plays against LeBron... must have felt like he was dreaming.

He is a fantastic interview... about as composed and thoughtful in his answers as Joe Judge. Check them out.

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.

The complete list of players who have made at least 3 shots in the playoffs to take the lead with a minute or less remaining in the 4th quarter or OT since 1997 (first year PbP data became available). This is according to Tommy Beer's twitter.



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.

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.

I know he had some perv issues, but his longevity is amazing. I was listening to him call Rangers and Knicks games on the radio in the '60s - and he's doing the featured game on TNT tonight (Wiz-Indy). Probably starting listening to him in, say, '66 - that's like 55 years of listening to Marv.

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

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.

Noah's arc, indeed.

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.
