I don't think Jamal is going 7-22 tonight.

Weird! The broadcast graphic said they had one and Eagle mentioned it multiple times.

Was the broadcast graphic wrong or did the Knicks not know they had a timeout left?

Almost an impressive two-way implosion from the Knicks. I think the offense was worse than the defense but I'm not 1000% sure.

McCollum is such a Professional Scorer.

Seems like every time the Hawks generate a switch, they're hitting a three off the dribble.

Knicks got away with the non-Brunson/Towns lineup in Game 1. Not so much so far here. Still feels like tempting fate to me.

Phenomenal first four minutes from Josh Hart. Everywhere.

Peacock is like a full minute behind live game action, still. How have they not fixed this all year long?

Feel like he might win some more of these in the future.

Scottie Reynolds is still at Villanova, right?

I probably should have gone with this Castle lob for the Spurs one but Wemby draining five threes, and getting them all in different ways, was too good to pass up.

Rule wasn't in effect yet bc I was not alive.

Devin Vassell the rare exception to the nearly fool-proof don't draft Florida State guys rule.

I promise you we know it.

I think Victor is ready for the playoffs.

This "9 PM" playoff game tipped off at 9:18. I don't care how awesome the fiesta shirts look, that is a travesty.

Early post-ups for Paolo paying dividends. He's been great.

J-Dub has been phenomenal on both ends. If this is the version of him we're getting in the playoffs, sheesh.

Cason stealing that pass to Booker on the curl and then beating everyone down the court for the lob was an insane sequence of events.

Gonna go out on a limb and say the Suns can't win if they are gonna turn it over this much.

SGA, Mitchell, Wallace, Caruso on the court together is so tiny and Phoenix still probably won't score.

I don't think Jay Bilas knows that Luka and Cade are both eligible for awards, given how sure he seems to be that Jaylen Brown is gonna be First Team All-NBA.
