Now let’s finish them

Mitch is close to 12 straight minutes of game time. Thrilled his conditioning is coming back, but dude is going to be gassed if we don't get him some rest soon.

Was a relief to see we didn't fall back on the "get the starters back in with 5 min to go" given the game flow.

If he hits a miracle 3 so be it, you kill some time, and at worst, it is tied. And punk Hali doesn't have the time to shoot that broken play BS luck shot.

Also, is it really all OG's fault if he gets a tight pass on the floor instead of an alley-oop, when JB knows about his hands? Earlier, they overthrew him on a breakaway dunk. Either wins this game, not to mention missed FTs. Lastly, I believe KAT was 3 on 2 when he just stopped and waited to be fouled. JB should have been shooting clutch FTs. But, KAT had an open player to pass to, to kill more time, or an easy lay-up or dunk. Don't play to hold on, play to kill. See it in football all the time. Call it prevent-win defense. Low IQ end to this game, on the players and the coach. Where was Deuce when things got out of hand? He led us to a 16pt lead. Deuce over Hart would have made sense; he can defend and score. Hart kept making poor defensive decisions on Obi and is not the guy you want when you need a score.

This is a must-win. However, I'm not sure it matters, as NO ONE is beating OKC.

WHAT?

I was just reacting to your blatant violation of UltimateKnicks boldface guidelines.

It’s all good. I’m just being a wiseass.

I suffered with migraines for 30 years. Quit Diet Coke and replaced it with water. No more migraines.

You hydrated?

he thought he had Deuce open and then the pass got closed off... he can easily take over the game in the 4th.
