National televised game (ESPN)
Bam Adebayo (hip) has been upgraded to probable for tonight’s game against the Knicks
Its one of those games everyone gets up for.
Knicks lose and they are eliminated from the in season tournament.
someone suggested it might be modeled on soccer but it's not really. Soccer does have competitions that take place during the regular league season, but they're entirely separate competitions from the league. (For example, most countries, including the US, have a domestic "cup" that's open to teams from every level, even though it's usually a top-level team that wins.) This. NBA idea that regular season games count in both the regular season standings and also some kind of tournament is a new idea to me, and not a great one. Kind of silly IMO.
If the Knicks win this one they have a great chance of advancing to the final 8 as at least a WC. They only have Charlotte left at home. They can run up a big point differential.
He's too careless with the ball and they're like vultures around a carcass. The 2nd unit showed you how to do it vs then moving themselves and the ball.
This really screwed them with that awful challenge in the 3rd qtr. They needed a challenge on that out of bounds play late. Great gutty win. I hope Thibs learned something there on how to play the Heat. Keep Randle away from the ball.
I don't see it as selfish, he's careless. The ball has to move vs the Heat. Iso is death vs them.

He is not passing out of the double until he has too. Than he forces a bad pass.
It's like the 2 team's timelines passed eachother celestially when Pat the Rat left in '95 and we've been doomed since. It's never gonna end.
7 pts 6 rebounds 2 assists per game on 41/29/71 shooting splits
Shitty third quarters and the Knicks go together like PB & J.
Thibs is so bad in big games, I don't get why tonight he does to change the rotation
Close this thing out now.
Bench brought them back and they absolutely feed off the crowd..Quickley was incredible
Or not.
yeah - didn't see it coming
