That is a BIG-time finish by Lively over Holmgren
 
Mavs did it, send Thunder fishing

both teams scrapped hard
 
Josh Haet, Alexander-Walker, Derrick Jones Jr. just players we threw away
 
Doncic gave Lively some props
"pretty amazing what D-Live has done for us in his rookie season"

among last year's draft class, Lively ranks 1st in FG%; 2nd in reb/game; 1st in winshares; 3rd in winshares/48; 5th in BPM. The downside is he only shot 50.6% from the FT line

Lively won a "played against men" award. Out of the 8 rookies in Portland, i would say Camara was the only player to consistantly achieve "not a normal rookie" status.
 
At this point Denver has shot the 3 ball worse, in the playoffs, than all the teams left @ 34%.
Dallas, Boston, Minn, Indy, NY, have all shot 37plus %.

Scoot just need to watch how McConnell play. He could be our TJ of the future
 
Save us Alec Burks is not working. Pacers up 15 at halftime.
 
I know some people love Brunson on this board, but I can't stand his game. He's a ball hog. I hate short ball hog point guards.
 
Thibs is such an enthusiastic dude. Always spitting “oh come on man”

The fundamental flaw of the Knicks is not even remotely enough star power.

I disagree. I honestly think they're contenders when healthy. Stars like Brunson, Randal and OG with the depth of support is enough. The fact is that if Thibs is going to play the style of ball he's been playing (hard nosed) then he has to limit his top guys to around 30 minutes instead of 40+... especially with that depth they have and likely will have next season.

I don't see OG as a star at all. He's a high performing role player.

Randle is a fringe star. You need two All-NBA caliber players to really contend. And honestly I'm really not a fan of Brunson.

They were never in contention to win the title even if healthy. Boston, Denver, and apparently Minnesota are all on a different level
 
I’m glad the Knicks lost. Thibs playing his guys 45 mpg is just nuts

Knicks were like 23-5 when OG played. Randle is All NBA and Brunson was 5th in MVP voting. Knicks have the talent but they all got hurt.
