This was some fun shit. Hope Payne is okay.

[Split T]

Down 7 with 1 minute to go in the 3rd to a 23 point win

[LazarusLong]

Very satisfying win, given the amount of yapping by the Knicks before the game.
Randle is having a great year, but his chirping was silly ...

[LazarusLong]

Oh, and welcome back, Jae Crowder...

Ayton -10/14 FG, 6/6 FT, 15 rebounds, 26 points in 29 only minutes

[Flagrant Fowl]

Knicks couldn't walk the talk in the second half.

[Split T]

Ayton -10/14 FG, 6/6 FT, 15 rebounds, 26 points in 29 only minutes

He was awesome tonight, made up for a total no show by Book. Granted they trapped Book a lot and played him very tight, sending a lot of help. Ayton will need to play like this to keep teams from doing that in the playoffs.

Knicks couldn't walk the talk in the second half.

They promised us they were going to come in here and beat us.

[Superbone]

Circle that, Knicks!

[Superbone]

They dumped him in the river.

LOL, regarding Knox. Made me laugh.

[The Bobster]

Paul - 11 assists, 0 turnovers.

[Superbone]

Speaking of entertaining, Ann Meyers Drysdale just called Taj Gibson "Josh Gibson" ...

She's famous for calling Archie Goodwin "Archie Griffin" ...

Heh. I chose the Knicks broadcast tonight. Breen was out calling the game on ESPN but Walt Clyde Frazier was his normal entertaining self.

[Superbone]

25-6 run by the Knicks.

It was a game of runs. He who laughs last, laughs best.

[Superbone]

This is frustrating to watch. It's like they're out of ideas offensively.

It was until it wasn't.

[Superbone]

Everyone was pretty bad except Ayton and Mikal early. Craig has the energy but can't finish.

Derrick Rose has been the difference in the game.

Let's correct that to difference in the first half. He disappeared in the 2nd.

[Superbone]

Craig and Payne kick ass at end of the quarter ...

That was unbelievable. I was off my couch for the end of the third. We didn't look back from there.

[Superbone]

They better throw Taj out for that...bull shit move

You don't want to make Paul mad. You won't like him when he's angry.

They switched to a zone on him and he couldn’t crack it. He’s a fantastic 1 on 1 attacker, but never been much of an orchestrator type
