  1. I was at the Garden when Harden dropped 61 on the Knicks. Pure joy watching him get roasted last nite . LETS GO KNICKS πŸŸ πŸ”΅

  2. Oh well….Now they saying that the Cavs will lose the series!!…but remember the one thing that's a fact!!..is that Kenny is very good with making adjustments!!.. Yes he messed up by not calling timeout to slow the run but when they redeem themselves and win the series,.. Every sports writer will like always change their tone πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’―

  3. Was Kenny A. paid off? How else could he be so inept? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. KA was insane. Put Tyson on Brunson or someone who could keep up with him. How many times do you have to see a coverage fail before you change it? Why is Harden bringing the ball up when he constantly kills the clock or turns it over? What happened to feeding Allen and Mobley underneath?

  4. I am a Knick fan, suffered thriugh the years….love this win, but htey came from behind, and to defend atkisn, yes he did not make subs, taking harden out, but, this is the ifrst game, NYC is the one with the pressure, Id say to my team, look at what we did, almost steal first game, tired as they are, come on, they can state they did good, save for that part, granted you should take all the opps you get but hero ball, not sustainable for NYC

  5. Why would they call timeout or stop the bleeding if the higher ups called and said let NY win? If the mob calls you do exactly what they say

  6. 4:36 Hey Kenny πŸŽΆβ€You've got to know when to hold 'em
    Know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away
    And know when to run” 🎡 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Salute Recruit πŸ«‘πŸ˜‚ LETS GO KNICKS πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™β€ΌοΈπŸ’―

  7. Blaming Mitchell? How about Harden jacking up 3's and missing? How can you possibly be so unself aware to think "Ok guys, this team needs a hero. Time for Harden Ball. I am the system!" and then proceed to play like playoff James Harden, one of the most worthless, net negative post season players of all time?

  8. I won’t shut off a Knick’s game again this season. I threw in the towel when they were down by 20 and Brunson was missing free throws. Lesson learned

  9. That's the difference between Anthony edwards and Jalen Brunson. Ant gave up with 8 minutes left, but Brunson kept fighting back to win the game.
