NBA Reaction: Rockets STUN Celtics, Thompson SHINES again, Knicks BLOW OUT Grizzlies | Hoops Tonight

Later, Jason reacts to Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the New York Knicks’ dominant 143-106 win over Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.

    The fact you still refer to Quinton grimes as a Knick is crazy. And it definitely showed in your analysis of the Knicks.

  2. @dishdash73

    The Kings just beat the Rockets last week and the Knicks just ran the Kings and Grizzlies out of the building. The Knicks will be a tough out come playoffs

    mazulla said it was his fault bc jb n luke recognized that itd be better if they switched matchups right b4 the play started so amen got to attack jb as he was closing out. it wouldve been amen v kornet if they hadnt switched late. joe shouldve made their position clear in the time out.

    joe is also to blame for a defensive scheme that allowed dylan brooks to get clean looks early. he doesnt end up w 10 3s w/o help from our scheme. joe couldve switched up the offensive process when we got stagnant too. agree tatum wasnt involved enough. i think tatum out of the post wouldve allowed tatum to hurt the doubles more on the initial pass out. all the high pnr in 4th allowed hou to trap 40 ft from the hoop n make some1 else playmake v a hou team that rotates fast asl.

    In the last 13 days the Celtics have played 8 games, 5 of them being away games they just look absolutely gassed. I think something a lot of people didn’t realize at the time was how impressive it was with those warriors teams to win in the regular season the way they did. It’s hard being the best team in the league, everyone you play is going to give you their best punch every night. If you don’t come ready to play every game even bad teams can punch you in the mouth (not saying the rockets are a bad team I’m just talking in general) but man was I impressed by the rockets last night. That run they went on at the end of the game was very impressive to take control of that game again. I’m happy for Rockets fans, it looks like they have a great young group of players with tons of potential and Udoka is an excellent coach

    Weird Knicks hate. And to compare them to the lakers is a complete joke. I can’t wait until playoff time so everyone can see the Cavs are not for real

  12. @ryanbrown3582

    @mailbox would the Cavs be better if they traded garland Allen niang and picks for Kevin Durant? Would the suns do it/be better???

  13. @lokigr

    Imagine that when you don’t shoot well… You don’t score as much and you lose. Brilliant analysis.

  14. @bigwoovie

    Was gonna Subscribe but at 22:40 you said Quentin Grimes played. Good defense on Desmond bane !!! We Traded Grimes Last year . Other than that pretty decent content…. Go Knicks ‼️💪🏾

  15. @jonathanelijo

    Great and fair take on the Knicks. I think you/people forget that the defensive identity they had last year was developed exactly that way, in the back half of the season they developed that identity. I think these are clear signs of them finding the 2025 version of that and, if so, they may not be ready to beat Boston but they will wash the Cavs.

  18. @fabo0913

    I don't understand what you mean by the Cavs are more talented than the Knicks? Genuinely confused by that…

  22. @Maxx-w9b

    Celtics have lost to half the league, there's no stunning them. I don't write the tites is a cop out, your show dude

    🚨MAILBAG: Hey Jason, I believe Giannis is a capable and good defender, he even won DPOY if I’m not mistaken. But it seems he never actually defends and guards players with the ball. I watched Clippers and Blazers beat bucks and he never took on the challenge of guarding Zubac or Ayton who both had great games. We have seen in the past Jimmy Butler and Jayson Tatum kill his smaller guards, but he won’t guard them and he says, “just doing what Coach thinks is best”

    Is there any particular reason Giannis is labeled such a great defender but never takes on challenges of actually guarding the ball on players I believe he’s fully capable of defending? Shoutout Sahuaro!! Beardown

    Ja Morant is top 5 in drives in the paint and HAD 0 FREE THROW ATTEMPTS the whole game. Yeah 👍🏾 nice game called by the refs
