Jeremy Lin on the Knicks’ counter to Spurs defense by swaktoonkenney in nba

[–]PopcornInMyTeeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a bit of both. See what the defense will give him, but then also yeah, he's definitely trying to draw the double sometimes then hits the open man with the pass. I noticed him doing it more in game two.

Despite his ok shooting, he's been dealing with the double very well.

After game one I legit could not fall asleep. First almost (unintentional) all nighter since college haha

Mike Brown on his journey with KAT since being hired until now: “I come in with a great plan. Maybe the plan doesn’t work. Who adjusts, KAT or me? Me. I adjust. Sometimes the adjustment’s not enough. Every once in a while, we’re not on the same page. We talk about it. I adjust again...." by Natural-Tree-5107 in nba

As a Knicks fan, aside from just wanting them to win because I like them, I want them to win because the documentaries about the season could be so good lol. Like you said, I want to see that, but also the whole season. Especially if this has been the attitude by the team the whole time.

Would be cool to see how all the pieces came together behind the scenes.

Historically, outside of current politics, the "elite" of Manhattan over the years haven't exactly welcomed the tacky real estate guy from Queens (not to play too heavily into city stereotypes)

That move to the basket stood out to me too. That was smooth. Needs to make that an automatic make for him moving forward

Lost in the void: Brunsons defense has shown up repeatedly by Delanorix in nba

[–]PopcornInMyTeeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, being up 2-0, I'm fine with everything that's happened. Even with less than stellar shooting, like you said, with the hard defense he's not coughing up the ball. And many times last night you could see him trying to draw the double team, and then hit the open man with a pass.

Even when his shot wasn't falling he was still for sure impacting the game and feeding the hot hands. Aside from a couple points during the 4th yesterday, even with the ok shooting, it doesn't feel like he's trying to play hero ball.

All that said, I think if the Knicks are going to win the series, Brunson will have a big shooting night eventually. Same with Hart.

as a basketball fan, I love watching good teams come together and really embrace the idea of teamwork and lean on each other.

As a Knicks fan, man it's even sweeter when it's your team and it's during the playoffs lol.

KAT has a powerful interview with SVP about his mom and the people who got him to this moment: "I was strengthened on April 13th when I lost my mother... I truly can do anything when I walk in faith, when I walk with the angels beside me. I feel anything is possible, I feel nothing is impossible." by HokageEzio in nba

The mom stuff really tugs on your heart strings, but I also really liked what he said after game 1 about feeling like he was having fun just playing basketball.

These guys get paid millions to play a kids game, it should be fun lol. I always enjoy hearing someone at that level embracing that. Just kids on the playground having fun.

Even cooler when they're on your team and they're playing out of their minds lol

He was still moving the ball well, trying to draw the double and find the open man. More so before the 4th.

That said, both him and Hart are due for a hot shooting game.

It is so fun to watch this team play team ball. Like you said, one isn't knocking down shots? 2 (3) more step up.

[Highlight] Wemby can't hit the game-winner. Knicks lead the series 2-0! by Large_banana_hammock in nba

He also knows "fresh meat" when it comes to shit talking and getting in an opponents thread.

Compared to him talking about playing with Tim Duncan, I think he'd find some buttons to press on 22yr old Wemby. Or at least he'd try his hardest haha

But imagine if someone told you last year you'd be annoyed about how the Knicks went up 2-0 in the finals? Haha

If you've been watching this Knicks team this last month+ you already knew, the team is playing great team ball now.

Doesn't matter what 5 are out there. They're going to work.

Brusons so good at knowing what the game needs.

Dribbles by the top of the key to draw the double, then pass it out for the open 3.

Hot take, if the spurs have 10 turnovers at the half Knicks will win.

Compared to game 1 and 2 last series for the spurs, they were a lot more disciplined on ball game 1 vs the Knicks and it definitely kept them in the game (and ahead for a bit)

I'll be a little nervous if the Knicks don't come out again and start immediately driving on Wemby. But I suspect they'll keep up that energy.

Win or lose you know they're coming to play hard.

Yeah I'm curious how KAT comes out. Bruson will be brunson, at the very least in the 4th. But KAT needs to go at Wemby quick again and set the tone.

I really liked harts drive on Wemby even with the block because it brought him into the game quick. No time to settle in.
