Weird how the Knicks suddenly went from "can't win with this core" to NBA Champions…and the Celtics went out in round 1. Indeed, time wounds all heels.

Hey Jimmy….they won without you. Time wounds all heels.

How does Wemby not foul Robinson on that rebound. Insane.

I’m not sure I’d want Robinson on the Bulls w/ a minimum deal. Such a massive anchor when a player on your team shoots FTs like that. Oh by the way, Mara shoots 58% from the FT line. #HardPass

Eh…I’d want more than a few 2nds to take Randle on, especially if he is going to take PT away from Wilson.

Indeed. In the history of the league, there has never been a player with more gravity than MJ. Curry is the only other close 2nd. Jud Buchler had a career because his man would immediately leave to double MJ, & he managed to hit a few wide open shots w/ no one in his area code.

Knicks in 6.

@cbefred has been saying this, and Clyde agrees

June 12, 1991: 35 Years ago today, In Game 5 of The NBA Finals, The Bulls defeat The Lakers 108-101 to win their first ever NBA Championship. #ChicagoHistory 🏀

The new team is conducting the evaluations. Why would we consider evaluations from the previous FO, the worst front office in Bulls history? That group used the 4th overall pick on PWill & a mid-round first on Dalen Terry. They missed more often than they hit. Take solace that they’re no longer making basketball decisions. I hope Bryson Graham can clean up the mess they left behind. #BullsNation #ChicagoBulls

A 🚨 New Big Red Bus Podcast 🚨@Doug_Thonus & I pay tribute to Bulls legend Stacey King, break down the Bulls’ final four coaching candidates, and dive into NBA Draft prospect evaluations of Kingston Flemings, Brayden Burries, and Mikel Brown Jr. ⏰ Timestamps: 1:00 – Stacey King Tribute 10:57 – Bulls Coaching Search 18:00 – Kingston Flemings 23:00 – Brayden Burries 32:00 – Mikel Brown Jr. #BullsNation #ChicagoBulls #NBADraft open.spotify.com/episode/1va…

Coaching changes matter. Last year with OG & Mikal, Knicks were middle of the pack in corner 3 attempts, one of the best shots in basketball. This year they led the league at 12.9% of all shots from the corner. That number is 17% in the playoffs. Same roster, different scheme, massive results. #NBA

"Spacing is discipline and respect. Discipline because you're getting yourself to the spot that you're supposed to be in, and respect because you're giving your teammate with the basketball the space to play." - Steve Kerr x.com/nbacrazystats/status/2…

The Knicks are now 1 win away from their first NBA title since 1973. Whose reputation has improved the most during this playoff run? 🏀 Karl-Anthony Towns 🏀 Jalen Brunson 🏀 Mike Brown 🏀 James Dolan

Have to have it to Brown…Alvarado was a 11. I can’t believe it worked with the two small guards Other coaches wouldn’t have even played him.

“All created by the fact that Karl-Anthony Towns had Wemby lifted, looking for that 3-point shot” - NBA Insider Tim Legler. KAT’s 245 in these 2026 playoffs is the largest - total in NBA History.

I stand corrected. Props to Jefferson: For an over-and-back violation, the ball itself must gain frontcourt status first. The ball is considered in the frontcourt when: The ball and the player controlling it both have frontcourt status. For a dribbler, the ball gets frontcourt status when both feet and the ball have crossed the division line. If a player is dribbling and: Crosses midcourt with his body, But the ball never actually gains frontcourt status (for example, the dribble remains bouncing on or in the backcourt), Then steps back into the backcourt, there is no over-and-back violation because the ball never established frontcourt status.

I wonder what Big Mouth Coffee is thinking right now. Hey @JCowleyHoops why not put a call into him for his thoughts? I’d love the insider info on all this winning without him.

OG Anunoby tonight: 33 points 10-15 FG 7-9 from three 1 assist

What the heck was Alvarado doing? He catches the ball, stands there for what felt like two full seconds while the clock is running, then appears to dribble back into the backcourt and gets bailed out by a foul call. Just an absolutely awful possession.
