Defense was fucking exquisite last night.

So much pleasure in this brand of basketball. So many stories.

And who would've thought Burks found his 2021-22 mojo.

Note that the league, in their infinite wisdom, has once again given a short turnaround for the series. Sunday's game is a matinee.

Gotta wrap it up Friday.

Seems to work on Safari.

It's funny how the Game 4 blow-out was, eventually anyhow, a lot less painful than losing a close one.

Just one of those things.

Meanwhile, Game 5 approaches. The challenge of the year.

Will Thibs adjust? Will the Knicks step up? Whatever happens, for Chrissakes, no wide up threes for Halliburton.

Yeah, that's a good way of saying it.

Shame that the contributions of Burks(!) and Devo didn't result in a win.

Deuce is due.

I am worried we are going to have a very hard time winning two of the next five with the guys we have available to play.

History says that role players have higher production at home than they do on the road in playoff series. I find that very worrying.

Excellent! You're so right!

Carlisle pretty rigid.

BTW....Toppin and McConnell have been playing great....

....but they're reserves, so you gotta take them out at crunch time?

Not complaining!

These games are incredible.

I don't even know what to say about Brunson anymore.

Just spectacular.

Before the 6th game, I wrote him with the sacred injunction:

No congrats until the final buzzer.

The final buzzer!

This squad does not do nuttin easy! But they won and advanced!

When the Knicks were up 22 my buddy started to fire up an Auerbach and I could have slapped the shit out of hm and sure enough.

So funny! In game 5, in the fourth I get a text from a friend saying "The Knicks are Back!" or some shit.

Immediately I felt the presence of a dark cloud....
