Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks 5/23/2021 7:00 pm [Game #1]

Lucky to only be down 2 at the half. Need to play better in the 2nd half.

52-50. We knew these teams were evenly
Matched... buckle up.

Let?s see if the regular season stat holds true and comes to fruition, when RJ is held to 5 or less points in the first half....

Half-Time .. Knicks 50 - Hawks 52

I dont know bout yall, but I'm writing up DRose new $$$ contract, his first half performance has me and company plus the Garden crowd standing-up going wild !!!
And our two rookies performance (IQ & Obi) got WIN-WIN in their every step.

34/50 first half points provided by the bench. Third Q begins with EP brick.

We should've been pick n roll for Barrett's slashing to the hoop to get to the line

The reason I say give Frank 14 minutes in this game before Trae get his confidence and become unstoppable

Y'all keepin' it real and watching on MSG?

We go from Noel block at rim on driving Collins, to Randle dribbling ball out of bounds, the o an RJ corner 3 and Rose to RJ fast break for a facial slam on BB.

Intense!!!

Noel DRose Bullock and Barrett are stepping-up their level of performance in the 3rd quarter

NY go on 15-3 run, but then ISO Randle leads to 2 awful possessions... RJ missed a 3, they get a bucket and instead of playing for last shot, Randle has brain burp and hands ball to ATL.... They bang a 3....

Lead cut all the way down.

Knicks up a few going into 4th. They have a closet tho... Ours is having awful shooting night and now he?s making bad turnovers in second half.

Another Randle turnover that keep stopping us from ..
who wrote the marchup of Randle vs Collins = Even

Gallinari looks like a villain with that mohawk.

I want to see Ntilikina in there to give Rose rest. If you have such a short leash for Peyton, then try Frank. It's not smart to give Rose so many minutes.

After allowing contact and not calling fouls on drives all game, with 8 to go in 4th suddenly Young gets sent to FT line for 6 points. Every possession is suddenly a foul.

Where were these calls in first half and why didn?t our guys get call?

I hate when the start calling game differently down stretch than they did all game.

If we lose... don?t blame Randle. Our missed Ft are a killer.

Randle don't know when to stop shooting 6-22 WTF

Randle missed FT is the reason why ....

Let Quickley take the last shot !!!
