Game Thread: New York Knicks @ Los Angeles Lakers 5/11/2021 10:00 pm [Game #69]

Rose want this WIN !!!

Lebron should get a T for being on the court with that green outfit.

I feel like we gave this one away.

Just wish Thibs would have drawn up a better play than to go to JR with the all NBA AD on him.

I mean, what the hell?

Rose hits a 3. Get a stop. Randle hits a 3. We have the lead? Crazy.

Rose with a 3-ball, then Randle with a 3-ball, Knicks up one point 99-98

Rose and Randle sink 3s... we go from being knocked out to on top!

Up 1 with 70 seconds.

I want this.

Don?t let LAK get away with it. We weren?t worthy for the King! LJ didn?t seem us worthy. Scared!

Make them pay!!!

Anderson said it on JRs shot. CASH MONEY. Get the stop.

Rose with the steal. Lakers had this won, but fell asleep in OT, and Knicks never gave up.

Rose picks Turner?s pocket! Crowd goes silent

Rose has a second gas tank in reserve folks!!!

Bad possession. Randle turns it over.

Click to expand...

I would've settle for a Bullock or Barrett 3-ball

Just woke-up to see the OT, Rose forcing a second TO, Knicks up 99-98 with 38.8 on the clock!

Not going to lie. Pretty disgusted right now. Have a good night. I?m out. Not sure what the hell we were doing.

Forget I mention Barrett for a 3-ball .... Nice OT game till the ending seconds

I'm disgusted, good D by the Lakers forcing Rose to give up the ball to RJ for a bad shot at the horn which he missed by 10 ft.

Randle travel... pisses you off especially bc the refs didn?t call 2 violations on LAK at end of 4th.

But Randle had 2 possessions to seal victory, in both regulation and OT.

He went hero-ball, and both possessions resulted in turnovers.

That, right there, is why we lost the game.

I?ll chalk it up to him wanted to win against his former team. Maybe a valuable lesson learned for playoffs.

But, folks... if we don?t go 3-0... we will be the 6th seed. And that means MIL and possibly a sweep.

good effort down the stretch, too bad we allowed Tucker to make that last shot

First of all, I salute their effort tonight. They are a ferocious rotation of Thibidites. They battled and fought and beat up LA tonight. The NYK were the better team tonight, and Randle was the best player on the court.

But...

This is LAK! And they mocked you today by resting LJ, saving The King for HOU tomorrow. Are you kidding me! They deemed HOU the tougher opponent.

You had to make them pay for that. They didn?t, and now we are the 6th seed.

You know, hosting MIA or ATL is a major major thing. Being the 6th seed and getting swept by MIL is something else entirely....

We were up 10 points in the 4th having our 2nd-unit lineup of Taj, Obi, Bullock, Frank, Rose on the court .. and we blew it putting Hero-Randle instead of pass first Randle into the game to consistently run one on one stunts on AD defense.

Bullock and Barrett combined for just 13 points. Without IQ and AB, this put the entire weight of the offense on Rose and Randle.

If RB and RJ have 14 or 15 points, we win the game.

Loss is on those 2 for not doing what Tucker and Matthews did for LAK.
