Anthony Davis must drive Lakers crazy —- didn’t watch all,of game tonight but while he was solid defensively & boards - think he went 5-17 after highly efficient 40 game 1. He’s so talented but yet leaves you wanting more.

Strangely whether he demands out or stays in i think the Knicks will benefit in certain ways. Obviously if he leaves for us or elsewhere the Celts will suffer by losing a key piece. But even if he stays, Jason and Jaylen's super max contracts will severely limit their flexibility

they'll be victims of their own success

I don’t know that Knicks have any shot at the younger top/elite players in the league like Brown.

If made available wouldn’t teams loaded with mega-picks like OKC/Utah go get a young star wing? How do we compete with those cats?

Seems like we need to go for the used car stars.

Largely agree. I think the one thing the KNicks can offer is real opportunity. The OKC of the world are a lot farther away from truly contending

Knicks might be one bona fide star away. A guy can come in as alpha, win a championship and be a legend

That said, i don’t see Jaylen in our sights as much as someone like Dame

Colin Cowherd made a great point about him last year. AD will go down as one of the biggest what if’s because he has never been great at conditioning. A similar thing happened with Rasheed Wallace. These guys have insane talent and could have both been up there with Tim Duncan and Hakeem Olajuwon but they were never dedicated to conditioning hence AD’s long track record of injuries

Like another banner?
8 time all star, 75th anniversary team, and 4 all NBA teams, and a ring.
He is an HOF player.
He is just no longer at that top tier.
The Cowherd take was pretty good. Rashweed had a very good long career and made a ton of money, just did not ever reach that level. That Davis got to. I get the comps though.

We - I at least - can take pleasure in the Fakers being down 2 to zip. Appreciated Denver’s Coach calling out the media on their Laker nut hugging “narrative.” Conspiracy theories aside, clearly the NBA and their ESPN etc. yes boys and Pom Pom wavers are invested in success for LeBron and company, Wemby going to San Antonio, super friend liaisons - and clowning the Knicks. Now that the latter is fading I wonder if a scrappy Dolan owned team can ever be “cool.” I kind of hope not.

did anyone see the game when Lebron tried to hot dog it with the reverse jam and fumbled the ball away. They could have used that bucket. hehehe

Aside from the foul baiting I respect Jimmy for what he does on the court.

Heat up 54-50 at the half in Boston. If Miami takes 2 games from Celtics in Boston, Thibs getting a 5 year extension.

I love the playoff intensity but what is Grant thinking. Don't poke Jimmy like that. There are some players you just don't want to get angry. Jimmy and Lebron take it up a notch when they get angry.

I remember a week or so ago I was talking about how easy it was to exploit teams who switch everything. Look how easy the Heat get the matchup they want. They did not even need the Bam special illegal screen. Just a lazy walk by was enough to get the switch they wanted.

This is hilarious. Boston up by 9 in the 4th, a game down and can't close it.

So some guy named Caleb Martin scores 25 for the Heat while Donovan Mitchell, Emblid and Harden, et al play golf or go to strip clubs or whatever. Crazy.

Don't do it for the money? The reason he pushed himself out 'Sota and went to Miami was for the money. 🤣

Be Good Riddance! Celtics
down 0-2

Grant Williams? who is he ? just born the other day , firing up Jimmy Butler to rake over his butt some more on way to Game #2 win
HEAT 2 CELTs 0

Grant Williams a star ? what's going on here you have not done BIG things yet in NBA, and you going rip Butler in his face.
GOOD Luck ! Celts you need 4 of next 5 games to advance
I dont think so!
