I firmly believe it ends tonight, and we get going on the next steps in our build.
But by all means, surprise me Knicks.

Make my day!

Got a chance to exhale.

I'll take it!

The funny thing about our Julius. When he's playing well, I'm so happy for the guy.

remarkably, they made my day without any participation by Julius in the end game! He began his final stint with a full fledged BEN SIMMONS and then spent the next 6 minutes FULLON ZOMBIE before waking up for that final flush

We avoid the gentlemans sweep. These are priceless minutes.

Brunson did something interesting with the Duncan Robinson switch late. He gave him a chance to switch back and then used Duncan trying to recover to another Knick as an unwitting pick to trip up the primary defender.

Fouls played a key role in this game. Keeping things moving and pushing ahead more than usual helped us there.

We can play better. We will have to to force game seven.

Love the way RJ has been playing. Great to see.

And he was clutch with his foul shots in the last two minutes.

That said, I was holding my breath at the end and would still use the final 5-minute RJ rule. As I've said throughout the year (and feel free to point to evidence that refutes this observation), he's proven himself unreliable in the last few minutes of a game. When the defense raises its level to an urgent pitch, he often dribbles poorly, passes poorly, makes bonehead mistakes. 

Why? Dunno.

But if we're in another close game with 3 minutes left, I'd prefer Hart.

lmao, what game did you watch? Please remove head from between cheeks and go back to the videotape.

Julius returns to the game at 8:30 and does virtually nothing til 17.8, at least nothing good.

7:40 The Ben Simmons Moment lol, rather than put it up point blank he shovels it to Mitch who is fouled and has to shoot free throws. The announcers are flat out incredulous.

Randle had an open look around the rim
Yes, You put it up, You miss, Guess who is right there in position for an offensive rebound, Mitchell Robinson.
There is no way Robinson expected a pass there
At all. He was looking at trying to get in position in case the shot came out

It does not get better.

Some plays he hides from the ball.
Other plays, with a keen sense of reality, JB wisely looks him off rather then put the ball into his halfhearted hands.

Julius wanders around the court, fails to block out, fails to get loose balls, basically does NADA til 17.8 left. Like I say, a miracle we pulled it out and live to play another day.

It bleeds the energy and focus from the Heat to keep Randle in check. I agree at the moment he focuses way too much on all the wrong things. I think it is possible he could refine his understanding of his role this off-season, but for this run this is the Randle we got.

Our being more effective at stymying Love than they were at containing Randle along with hanging ten fouls on their point guards made the difference in game 5.

Surely a lot there. Despite his equally subpar performance against the Cavs, he kept the attention of Evan Mobley fully occupied helping all kinds of good things to happen. And better taking no shots than taking bad shots or fumbling away the ball.

Still think he could help a bunch more tho'...say by blocking out 6'5 players, or storming back on transition D, a speciality of mentally healthy players.

Nice game knicks should be 5-10 points better on measurable talent. Fantastic job by heat coach.

Yeah. Basically all the stuff Butler prioritizes before his scoring and never takes his focus off of.
