By the way Crowder in the end backed up and wanted no part of Payton.  Not that it matters much.

Uh, that didn't happen.
Crowder got up, went after Payton hard, the ref quickly got in the middle and blocked Crowder, who still struggled to get at Payton and then thought better of getting ejected and fined when a whole herd of people arrived.  Crowder should have gotten one tech for going after Payton and been allowed to stay in and shoot the FT's.
Clyde & Breen also thought his ejection was nonsense.

I've said before that folks probably don't want to mess with NYK with Randle and Morris.  But Crowder and Valanciunas are big and tough.

And btw it was the combination of the steal and the 3 that got the Knix all huffy and hurt feelings.  Again, play better and smarter and it doesn't happen.  But I prefer Crowder's actions on that play than Randle or Payton's.

The Kamster is probably happy with this because Ntilikina ain’t playing.

Wrong.

So sorry you ain’t happy.

Enes is sorry too. 😐

Clyde and Breen missed the Morris ejection entirely - which is why they couldn't figure the awarded free throws properly

By doing what you described Crowder was guilty of escalation. 

Elf nailed him good, making Crowder a national disgrace today

I also think players should play to the end of the game.  I like a guy like Crowder who is and remains competitive.  Keep your instincts sharp, stay focused.  Crowder did, Randle didn't.  Knix allowed themselves to be embarrassed.

You're focused on the steal.  Who cares about that?  What Elfrid and others had a problem with is the Crowder 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock, up a million.
Why should that be a problem?

Because it's bush league.  Paul Pierce said he'd shove him too.

I think getting offended by something like that is bush league and losing, at home, by a "million" to a team like the Memphis is bush league.

Shaq, Charles, and Kenny all said they agreed with Payton's hard foul there.

Paul George, Karl Towns, Bradley Beal, Devon Booker. ...Enes Kanter.
First time since 1997 there are no San Antonio spurs.

Wow - Beal and Booker are rough

And? None of them ever played for an embarrassing organization like the Knicks. Win some games then you can be offended.

Booker, who has never made an All-Star team, is averaging 27.1 points per game, fifth-most in the West, and 6.4 assists per game on 51% shooting this season.

The only other players in NBA history to average 27 points and six assists on 50% shooting in a season are LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Stephen Curry and Oscar Robertson.

Beal is better - but too many guards. 

Happy to see BAM on the team.
