Game Thread: New York Knicks vs ATL Hawks 7:30p 3/11/2020 [Game #66]

15 second remaining and Trae layup ties the game at 118 LMAO

[Kiyaman]

Well, we know now Elfrid Payton is not a crunch-time player .. OVERTIME LMAO

[tiger0330]

JR with 2 big shots a 3 from the top and then a baseline 2 in crunch time but misses another contested baseline jumper in the closing seconds while Trae hits a 3 from the logo and makes a coast to coast layup to tie it and the game goes to OT. Knicks blew a 23 pt lead when I was going to post about a Knicks blowout. Trae scored 27 in the 4th.

I can’t believe we almost blew it... went to feed baby and see we in OT.

But RJ swishes a Trey and MRob ate Young alive.... we got this!

Free b-ball.

[tiger0330]

RJ with a big 3 after a Hawks trap almost forces a TO by JR. Then Payton makes a nice steal going way up in the air to make a steal and throws a lob to MRob which was a little high but he catches and flushes it. Knicks have a 5 pt lead 131-126 with 44 secs left.

Plenty of fans attending the game. Unreal the NCAA has decided they won't have fans attending March Madness, going to be weird watching the games on TV without the ctazy college crowds, cheer leaders without fans is going to look bizarre.

Gobert tested positive for the Corona virus. Just unreal the news that the NBA has suspended their season. Economic impact of this virus will be devastating with unprecedented actions like the NCAA and NBA. Saw pictures of Italy and no one is in the streets where they are usually mobbed.

Here in OR, Oregon St cancelled classes rest of semester... only online courses...

Trump announced a 30-day ban on travel.

This is crazy

Nice Knicks 136-131 OT WIN .. now its time to put up the BIG GAME THREAD "Corona-virus"

I would expect that the NCAA will soon be suspending the tourney instead of playing the games without fans as previously announced. Seems Tom Hanks and his wife were also diagnosed with corona, probably got it traveling since they’re in Australia now. That’s going to curtail travel big time, you would think long trips in confined places like cruise ships, airplanes is a multiplier of your chances to get the virus. Good chance that’s where someone like Gobert may have caught it if he didn’t have visitors from Europe over recently.

Jazz played 5 teams in the last 10 days (including Knicks) and those teams were all told to self quarantine players. Then you figure all the teams those 5 teams played recently. NBA had no choice but to suspend season.

Easy call to bc last 15-20 games are BS. Just start playoffs mid April

A necessary precaution no doubt but still surreal and unprecedented. Trump’s ban on travel to Europe excluding England makes no sense, like England isn’t part of Europe. Kim called him a dotard and he was right.

Emotional game ending with Vince taking one last shot.
--
The outbreak is real and it's a thing to be frighten of, don't wanna push the panic button but the situation has gone out of control for quite some time now. Gobert was tested positive, that means that most likely the whole Jazz team got the virus. Depending on when he got it, all the other opponents of the Jazz got it (including the Knicks) and probably their opponents' opponents. This sport is very prone to this virus since everyone is touching the same object, i'd be really stunned if the spread is isolated..

@tiger not sure if just England was spared or all the non-schengen states.

I hope everybody's taking care of himself and his loved ones, stay safe.

Was at the game in ATL. The crowd was chanting for Hawks coach to put Vince in the game. Not only taking the last shot but also hitting the last shot. VERY NICE MOMENT!!!

Thanks for overview of this current situation. You also stay safe and take care of your family and yourself.
