2024 NBA Season

[Maasdamer]

How bad is this Knicks team?
In 22 min the starting 5 getting outscored again by own bench 12:29 , just pathetic.

Why doesnt take coach take ANY action here?
Randle 15min on the court, made 2 free throws and missed all his shots.

13/43 for the whole team.

Thats a clear sweep right there.

I can't believe the Clippers are still choking. I thought they are an improved team this season but it looks like they are even worst than last season.

There are only a few teams who had won the series after getting down 2-0... can the Clippers be one of them?

I think Clippers still think highly of themselves than what they really are. They have two amazing perimeter all star defenders and can't hardly use them on Luka because they choose to switch on every pick and roll. In crunch time, all Clippers do is jack up threes or isolation tough mid rangers. Most of the time they don't get easy shots underneath the basket.

In the other side, the Mavs are just really hot from three on Game 2. The way Luka can orchestrate play and dissect Clipper's defense is mesmerizing. Clippers ducked the Lakers and it's blowing off to their faces right now it's really embarrassing. There is really a great chance Mavs will pull off this upset. Clippers are also an abomination on sports betting, it's so frustrating.

Right now with the current status, it will be the Clippers with the chance to upset the Mavs, if that would happen, I'm sure bettors will be happy as their money is in the Clippers. We still have game 3 though, although Mavs has a high percent of winning now but I would like them to focus as giving Clippers a chance to come back might ruin their party.

And they are down currently, we don't know what happens to the Knicks after a great regular season and Randle winning the MIP. He keeps on passing the ball and seems to be gun shy, let's hope they will make it as close as possible against the Hawks.

Atlanta seems to be relaxed in this game, not affected by the Madison crowd, they are focus and it could be 0-2 for the Knicks going to Atlanta's homecourt.

Fortunately, for Knicks fan or at least who has a beat on the Knicks, they have completely turn around around in the 3rd quarter. Randle got his touch after shooting 0-out of-6. And now they are in the driver sit. You can't really discount the fact that they are at home and won't let Atlanta go to a 2-0 lead at home next game.

Still a tight game though, but Knicks has a higher chance to win, just saying. So let's continue to watch the game in the 4th.

Jordan Clarkson wins KIA Sixth Man of the Year. Awesome! He deserve it.
Watch the fun and surprising awarding of him here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIn1TNcLhPU
That made me tear a bit, I'm so proud of him. First Utah Jazz player to be awarded by such a great award. There's no question, he really worked hard for it and showcased his skills while their stars are not around due to injuries.

It's just so satisfying to see when the trash talking backfires.
I don't understand why the fans were mad with Trae Young. I mean he's still a very young talented player, he doesn't deserve this hate. He still have a long way to be on the path of the villain like LeBron and Durant did. So, I guess the hate is pure nonsense, just because he's a threat for the Knicks that gives the dumb*ss fans the authority to talk sh*t and chanting like an uneducated dumb*sses.
Trae Young's playoffs debut is an unforgettable one lol.

I appreciate Trae for being professional as usual, fueled with motivation from the trash talking fans.

I confess that it was also gratifying for me to see Trae Young "shutting down" Madison Square Garden.
He is proving that he is an excellent player and has a bright future ahead of him.
I bet he will come "on fire" in the next games !!

By continuing what he's doing now and makes more big time shots,

He's going to earned more respect than hate after, now those fans are very upsets since it's the first time Knicks went to the playoffs after that long years of missing this opportunities, it's just a loving fans emotions and for sure Young knew about it and use that hate as inspirations to keep fuelling the team and feel the completions to the its next level.

Yes, I totally agree with you!

Well, Trae Young is playing very well in these playoffs, even losing that last game, Young played very well, he is standing out and showing his value!

Another player who played well and I'm very happy for his performance in that last Atlanta vs NY game, was DRose.
Even with several injuries he is standing out and showing his potential !!

[harizen]

MSG's crowd throwing boos and chants "F*CK Trae Young" when the game is already decided. Trashtalks are commons and no doubt, we are entertained by it. And the best part of this is, "fans are now back!" but I think it's too much if they throw that line to a young Trae who is just giving his all.

Trae wants the same energy from their fans as they host the game on Game 3. Their fans should act wild as the last playoffs game held in the Atlanta Hawks home was way back year 2017. It's been a while since their beloved home stadium feel the playoffs experience.

I have nothing wrong with the chants of the crowd in MSG but what is disgusting is there is a person there who just spitted Trae Young. Luckily it didn't hit him but it hit the person below the one who spitted.
Aside from that, who saw what did the 76er fan did to Westbrook?? He is going to their locker room because of the injury he got when there is a fan that threw popcorn to him. I have nothing to say but a complete disrespect. These are just 2 of the many more things that might happen in the future and I hope that the NBA management will take actions into this.

Now the Knicks tied the series 1-1 against the Hawks. The Hawks got a double digit lead going to the halftime but the Knicks fight back in the 2nd half. 5 players in double digits and I just want to commend how DRose is playing right now. Vintage DRose .
Wizards and 76ers. It was all 76ers from the start to the finish. Its just sad to see Westbrook getting an injury.
Utah and Grizzlies. Utah managed to tied the series 1-1. Its good to see Mitchell playing again because he is frustrated that he didn't play on Game 1. Looks like Morant has the guts to end Gobert's career in his dunk attempt but he forgot that Gobert is a DPOY candidate . Huge block coming from Gobert.

[Natalim]

Looks like Derrick Rose MVP is back in the playoffs, he already took over, and expect he will earn more minutes the rest of the series. Randle's inexperience is very evident here, still has not learned in game 1, he doesn't make a good decision and if not because of Derrick Rose stepping up, they should be in the hole already.

It's a battle of spurts, But in the end, Knicks prevail, and it was because of DRose, you can see his experience in this game, and then Knicks hitting their 3's in the fourth quarter was the key. Although Randle has a bad first half that allow the Hawks to take the lead, he bounce back in the 2nd and started to hit his shots.

Here is the video of the fan throwing popcorn at Westbrook, this is disrespectful in my opinion.

[Distinctin]

@Yaunfitda.. I didn't see that but now I can watch that the game was intense.

People say that it's adding insult to injury, and literally, Westbrook was already injured that time and he is heading to the locker, and that happens.
Good thing there's security and we did not see a scenario like Artest going on to the fans, (a long time ago).

Looks like Derrick Rose MVP is back in the playoffs, ....

He turns back the time. 

[Jating]

^^ That fan is lucky that there are security personnel around Westbrook, if there is one player that fans don't want to messed with is an injured Westbrook. Damn, he could have killed that fans, Lol. Not sure what happen to the fans though, I do hope that they throw him out of the arena.

Hopefully Westbrook can play in game 3, it's crucial that they avoid sweep.

Knicks vs Hawks turns out to be a good series 1-1 now. I thought that the Hawks are going to make it 2-0 with that lead in the second quarter.

He's quietly taking over and with the help of Bullock's 3's they managed to take this game and tied the series.

I love how mature he is letting everyone involve and make sure that the support from him is there, Look how Randle managed to help the

rally at the last quarter even he got a bad 1st half in the end he still there to help and play he's part. Very nice to see that this young squad compete so much not to disappoint their fans.

Charles Barkley on the Westbrook Popcorn incident:

"What NBA rule I would change? I think we should be able to go up in the stands and beat the hell of one person per game."

He's one of the bad boys, no questions. Whoever did it was just disrespectful. WB already hurt himself and who the hell is in the proper mind to throw popcorn on someone who is feeling devastated already. Ban him from all the basketball court of NBA. Now that he deserves and not WB being thrown with popcorns.

Fans just came back and they can enjoy themselves but not that much to the extent of cursing and throwing something to the players.

Right, I also said that this is disrespectful to Westbrook. As fans there should be boundaries as well, who will forgot the "Malice in the Palace", this could turn out to be the next one, if not for those security that try to keep WB at bay and not give him the chance to chase that fans who did this to him.

Of course, we owe it to the fans, but I don't think they have every right to throw popcorn not just to Russ but to any basketball player.

They don't have that privilege, I agree with your opinion this kind of fan should not  allowed in any stadium
after what he did with WB, not a kind of hate for another person who already suffering.

That statement with Sir Charles' he meant it he's era is so different from how the NBA turned now, fans is far disrespectful
before but they knew how players will react  

Hope WB will recover right away the series still far they'll be playing now at home they should take a game or tied it to extend it.

Rose need to assert himself to lead the team, on all other players he's one of the most playoff experience I think, battle LeBron, so he knows what it feels like to be down in a series, the team is well balanced, the only person they need to stop in the hawks is Young, while Hunter is showing is also a star, but if they clamp down Young its a series for the knicks.

He needs to because Randle has been struggling in the playoffs.

His average is too low compared in the regular season, you see that the Knicks were not really dominating the game, the Hawks lead double-digit early and they should not let that happen again, they might not be lucky that time.

It's already 2 games, we can't expect more on Randle but D Rose could still give more.

No matter how much they hate the players or the team, they should not do such filthy acts which will to the players physical and mental health issues. Such kind of act should be punish whoever done that earlier. They should really give that guy a lesson or someone might do it again because they find it funny to themselves when they do such things to the players.
