This has an argument to be the biggest choke in a playoff game ever. Up 22 with 8 minutes left and losing is unheard of.

(~~)I mean the warrior came back down 20 with 4:30 to go in 2015 against the pelicans which I think is more impressive. (~~)

(~~)It didn’t even feel impossible for them to do, it just felt like you blinked your eyes a couple of times and Steph is hitting the corner three for the win while being fouled by 3 guys(~~).

Edit: you should all ignore my poor memory lmao

They were down 20 with 8 and half minute to go and down 17 with 5 minute remaining. It was for the tie and win for overtime.

Harden went cold, Brunson turned into a beast. I think it’s got to be a modern record of most ECF points in the shortest stretch of time. Every basket was sinking in in the late 4th, and he was doing a 2-3 crazy backboard shots too.

sire59damos | Hawks

They were literally hunting him. Brunson cooked him like 5 possessions in a row during the 4th quarter. Couldn’t close out when him and Brunson were on the perimeter, and he kept getting blown by on drives.

There was 1 possession where Dean Wade I believe was tryna come over to trap Brunson and Harden waived him off trying to take the assignment solo only to get his shi fried clean off and let Brunson deliver I think his 4th straight bucket on Harden’s head

vincoug | Knicks

Definitely not Houston who was healthy for like two seasons after Ewing left. The only other guys who could even be worth a mention are Marbury, Tyson Chandler, Randle who’s extremely divisive, and I guess Porzingus.

73 | 2 months ago

I will not stand for this Prigioni erasure

Jimm120 | Knicks

51 | 2 months ago

to Melo’s defense, those teams sucked. Melo outplayed gallinari/mozgov/wilson. but Amare’s body breaking down for FOUR out of the Five years was crucial to the knicks futility.

Having ¹⁄₃ of the cap on Amare and him not being able to produce (because of injury) was not something easy to overcome unless management did a good job…and they did a HORRIBLE job lol.

that said, Brunson has been spectacular and is 4th easily on the knicks totem pole behind Ewing, Reed, and Clyde.

For the record I’m pretty sure Lin has said Melo was super supportive of him. And Melo was furious when the Knicks front office didn’t match Lin’s contract. I think the Melo was mad about Linsanity thing is a rumor that’s been taken as fact that’s actually more fiction.

suahoi

Not even like he didnt have options!

You have Mitchell - put the ball in his hands on offense! Swap out Harden for Strus or Wade or Schroeder - at least make Brunson’s life a little more difficult.

Just get Harden out of the fucking game when he is getting targeted and cooked on, literally, every single possession.

JasonWaterfaII | Pistons

And he made Brunson look like a decent defender. That’s impressive. Harden hunted Brunson but couldn’t really get by him off the dribble.

Kenny Atkinson waited until it was 18-1 to call a timeout.

Mike Brown benched Hart for Shamet who hit multiple clutch 3s during the comeback.

Genuinely embarrassing lmao, has to be the most deflating loss I’ve ever seen. 22 points with 8min is insane.

Also, why did the Cavs keep rushing shots despite being comfortably up? Like wtf man

A lot of coaches are moving towards the ‘let the players figure it out’ mentality when it comes to timeout

But at what point in an 18-1 run do you say that’s enough

22 points down with 7 minutes to go. Utterly baffled by what I’ve just seen.

I can’t believe there are real life people that do not rate Brunson bro

I’m so glad he went to NY. I’ve never seen my dad this happy in his life as a basketball fan. Brunson got him to buy a jersey for the first time since Melo and Lin cause he didn’t wanna be burned and disappointed by some bums. I can 100% say Brunson reignited my dad’s passion and love for basketball. That’s my big headed fucking captain. He needs that big ass head to store all his clutch genes.

Watching your team get decimated in the fourth because you want to save…4 (four) timeouts?? Some of the most boneheaded coaching I’ve seen.

Dont let Atkinson on the plane. That was the worst coaching job I can remember.

Imagine having one of the 5 worst defensice players IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE and not going at him even once on that run. Unbelievably moronic. Brunson has to be targeted if you want to beat these guys. Hes going to kill you on one end, use him on the other.

The lack of a TO in the 25 point run is fucking crazy. AND HE ENDED REGULATION WITH ONE.

Sometimes you gotta wonder how these guys get and keep their jobs with performances like that.

Harden deserves to get flamed no doubt, and Donovan is equally to blame for that collapse as well. Bro basically disappeared in the 4th quarter and overtime.

Like, imagine a marching band, right? A marching band, and it’s got like 200 people. Now imagine a chainsaw. Now imagine on each one of the edges of that chainsaw, has a DICK of one of those fucking people in that marching band. A chainsaw with 200 FUCKING DICKS on it. Every single one of those FUCKING dicks represents the glimmer of hope I had going into the 4th quarter. Now imagine every single one of those FUCKING dicks ejaculating at the exact same moment that’s the FUCKING taste in my mouth right now. FUCK this game.

If Brunson has a million fans, then I am one of them.

If Brunson has ten fans, then I am one of them.

If Brunson has only one fan then that is me.

If Brunson has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Brunson, then I am against the world.

Mike Brown sat Josh Hart, who was playing sloppy as hell, and put in Shamet, who went on to drain a couple of massive threes and shut down Donovan Mitchell. Spida didn’t even touch the ball at the end lmao.

And special shoutout to Kenny Atkinson for letting Harden guard Brunson for so long. JB absolutely cooked him.

The New York Knicks (1-0) survive Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers (0-1) in overtime, 115-104, behind Jalen Brunson’s 38 point performance
