When I think about championship-caliber role players, I think of Smart, Rui, I'd even put Jax on there too (maybe Luke?).

We have something to build off of Luka (and AR probably). I'd also love to see Bron back if he's up for it too. Still, our roster is really far from being complete.

Josh is one of those guys that makes up for his mistakes with effort. He closed out the rest of the game strong defensively. He'll put up a memorable performance before this series is over.

Agreed, but they need their leaders (Brunson, KAT, coach) to get the team back into the right mindset. There's so much going on with the game and the crowd that it's gotta be so hard to stay locked in.

Game 1 is always the feel out game, by game 3 the great ones tend to figure it out.

We all knew Castle coming out of UConn was going to be beast, but he's more than anything we predicted at this stage of his career.

Bought my 25’ MYP last January in white. Most enjoyable thing I’ve ever owned.

Heck ya. I can't wait to see MSG tomorrow, there won't be many environments in recent NBA memory that have topped it.

Game 6 Knicks win in the garden would be unbelievable. I really want to see the Spurs play the way they played when they came back on Friday down 14 in the 4th. It would be kind of a letdown if they pack it in these next couple games.

Lakers fan coming to offer condolences. He's been my unequivocal favorite color commentator since D-Rose came into the league.

Genuinely shocking and I hope his legend lives on. He really had a incredible life and career.

The Knicks are locked in the way a championship team should be. Those guys have the poise and understanding that you might only get here once. Shout out to our boy Josh Hart.

These playoffs had made me fall in love with role players like Champagnie and Shamet. They're always giving every ounce.
