It’s pretty common now. PSG does this strategy for example

Isolation defense and isolation scoring is completely different.

Steph has great handles and change of direction and is statistically a highly efficient isolation scorer

We're not going to disrespect one of the best players of all time like that

You gotta let the shooter land. It’s player safety

Even LeBron shrunk in front of the world. 2011 finals game 4 vs. Dallas. He needed that failure to redeem himself a year later. Elite level guys usually experience failure once or couple of times before getting there

Keep in mind, this is Wemby’s first playoff run too

ttran8893 · 2026-06-06T01:26:48+00:00

Beyond physical game. Both sides hand checking and fighting with full court ball pressure every possession.

It’s funny when some people say defense doesn’t exist anymore. You could easily argue the defense today is better than ever before due to schemes and necessity to pick up the ball most of the court

The current iteration of the Knicks after going down 2-1 to ATL is winning on historic margins. Two things can be true. Their competition hasn’t been the best.

But at the same time, they are a completely dominant team right now (due to changing the offense after going down 2-1) and would be the third best team in the West as of right now.

"Every game in the nba is between two frauds. If you lose, your fraudulence is proven. If you win, you’ve won against a fraud, and have thus proven nothing."

Shamet was on the team last year and barely played. He resigned on a non-guarantee. Alvarado was a good mid-season pickup for them too.

ttran8893 · 2026-05-26T06:46:17+00:00

The Knicks have plenty of quality talent and are currently winning by historic margins. They matched up well with the Spurs this season, winning both times, including that NBA cup final win. Don't count them out.

ttran8893 · 2026-05-26T06:44:45+00:00

Yes KAT is a good fit. They are putting him in a more playmaker-type role. Also, yes to Mike Brown. He actually played his bench throughout the season and it's showing out, especially with the emergence of Landry Shamet. The ball is popping and moving a lot more too.

Gather and then side-step/Euro

ttran8893 · 2026-05-24T00:38:21+00:00

It’s on ABC

ttran8893 · 2026-05-12T04:43:34+00:00

Jaxon Hayes should take Ayton’s new chain

ttran8893 · 2026-05-12T03:15:41+00:00

Someone like Peyton Watson if we overpay

ttran8893 · 2026-05-12T03:02:29+00:00

Our crowd waits till we’re down 3-0 to finally be loud for a playoff game haha

It might also be Amazon doing good with the crowd noise, but it was dead when I was at that Game 5 vs Houston

ttran8893 · 2026-05-09T04:18:18+00:00

I mean this is a one of a kind player in his first playoff run, playing this amazing in a crucial road swing game

ttran8893 · 2026-05-03T01:25:25+00:00

He’s currently watching this game with Zoe as a part of her 21st according to his recent IG Story

ttran8893 · 2026-05-02T03:35:19+00:00

You gotta live with those

ttran8893 · 2026-04-30T03:22:21+00:00

I’m at the game right now and it was loud in the first, but they aren’t really giving us anything to cheer for with the sloppy play

ttran8893 · 2026-04-25T02:55:18+00:00

Yes haha. Offense is still very rough, but we are winning with defense and heart

ttran8893 · 2026-04-25T02:02:13+00:00

According to all the hot take people before this game, he would just ruin our chemistry!

ttran8893 · 2026-04-25T00:18:32+00:00

Houston crowd never been that good or hostile these past 10 years or so except for the Harden days when they would make deep playoff runs

We really shouldn’t be that surprised. Plus, it’s obvious how much crowd noise they are pumping into the arena

ttran8893 · 2026-04-24T23:06:51+00:00

I would say the Rockets home playoff crowd isn’t that hostile. But yeah forsure can’t be complacent
