Well said WP had we lost Free Throws would've been the #1 deciding factor.
Not only did we shoot poorly from the FT line (11/17) but we didn't shoot nearly enough.
Miami made 30 Free Throws but actually shot 32 (feels like can't touch those guys).
Zebras didn't give us any type of home court advantage @ Miami Tonight.
But I agree 11/17 @ 64% almost wasn't good enough.

-1.0 says hello.
😎
Atlanta = ✓ Hawked down (-5.0 games behind us).
Miami = ✓ passed (now -4.5 behind us).
Brooklyn = ✓ rearview mirror (-2.0 behind us + tiebreaker too).
Let's rest Julius and Brunson next game. Start Obi and IQ and repeat last season final weeks with IQ and Obi playing all world. IQ, Grimes, RJ, Obi, Mitch bench Deuce, Hart, I Heart, Simms and Evan for one Sunday

This game allowed me to finally and completely get over the Dallas loss. Think of the movie Titanic when Rose dropped the necklace into the ocean...

I hated that movie I do recall seeing it on a date with a beautiful older woman and making out with her. I was 22 she was 34. Good times.

I'll be 52 this month 25 was a whole lot better, except now I have a good job and then, not so much. If I had my looks and health of youth with my salary today, I'd be killing it. But my wife likely wouldn't like that oh well youth is wasted on the young

Let Evan get some time and see what happens 😜
"No, no, no! WTF are you doing!!! YEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
That was me on Randle's game winner lol. Brought me back to 1999 with Allan Houston! There is something extra special about winning in Miami! 50% of that arena were Knicks fans! Some things never change! And even sweeter to know Riley and Mourning were there! So wished the camera showed their faces afterwards!
Holy shit Julius! Are you kidding me?! 43 points on 8 threes! What he is doing is nothing short of incredible! Not only is he doing this wearing he heaviest jersey in the league but he's doing it following a season in which everyone wanted him gone. It's one of the best redemption stories in sports! Last night he was just on fire! And he was doing it against one of the best defenders in the game in Bam. Randle's three point shot is on an elite level right now. He deserves all the kudos and credit. He's earning it.
So freaking proud of Brunson too! I thought he was out for the game when he went out with that ankle but he came back as the warrior as he is and sparked that 4th quarter and hit some big shots! Charles Barkley usually exaggerates but he is right. Brunson is one of the best FA signings in NBA history!
I'm an RJ support and he wasn't bad last night but IQ has surpassed him on the ladder as the 3rd best player on the team. Another big game off the bench doing everything! I keep asking, why doesn't IQ have a hive? He's everything you wanted Frank to be! He plays with a motor every single second, he contributes at both ends and he's such a likeable fun player to root for! I love him!
Such a great night and win! Definitely enjoying this win streak!

Well as someone said to me once - you won’t be 52 forever! Enjoy 🙂

I suppose that's true too. 52 is better then 75, and the beat goes on. Have a great weekend. Visiting my elderly mom at a rehab now. I swear beating the Heat is like a Superbowl victory.
RJ mistakes are magnified. LIke we used to groan when Frank wilted. Last night IQ had a bad turnover, and Randles TO leading to Herro’s go ahead bucket was bloody awful. But Jules made it all go away in glorious fashion! Few weeks ago fan reaction would be different.
Lets be real, this is our second helter skelter ending with Miami. This is what they do teams. I said this before the game and they did it again. We were lucky, no, fortunate to get out with the win again. That Kobe like shit he did last night only happens about 33% of the time. I used that stat as Kobe was a clutch killer and that was his game ending shot % which I read was tops.
But how fun was that in Miami with the crowd going nuts at games end. Knicks get a lot of love on the east coast! League has to be happy as it helps on the road gate prices and TV viewership better with them. It will take a while but fans love to hate NY so rival intensity on the road will increase! Super fun! Winning is nice.

Bless your mom. We get to return a very small percentage of the favor in their later years. And yeah last night was like a huge playoff win!

The sour patch kids, Kemet and MS are quiet these days. 8 game streaks are to be enjoyed. Hard to hate on even RJ when things are going well!!!
All good and fun.

No because no one has.
The only question here is if you're intentionally lying or genuinely don't understand what you're reading.
Im going to give you credit and speculate the latter.
