[tiger0330]

Neto with 18 pts on 8 straight buckets, Clyde saying Walker can not contain this guy. Rose trots in for Kemba.

[tiger0330]

RJ and Rose 2 back to back 3s cut the lead to 83-73 with 2 mins left in the 3rd. Happy with RJ play in the preseason.

What do you think about the Lakers going 0-6 in the preseason. No one I heard, from the players to announcers seems worried but with the players the Lakers have they should be beating teams like the Kings with one hand tied behind their back. Maybe Father Time has caught up with the oldest team in the NBA.

Rose & Grimes D plus Obi's put-back the Knicks are pulling everything out of the hat to come back

[tiger0330]

I hope the boys make a comeback with DRose on the floor, suffocating D by the boys to try to complete the comeback. Maybe it’ll open Thibs eyes about who should be the starting PG.

Randle has been playing a sloppy game since tip-off .. I done seen 6 turnover from Randle, the cross-court pass to a well guarded rookie Grimes made no sense smh

[tiger0330]

108-103 Wiz on DRose 3 with 2 mins left. This ain’t over yet. Rose with 26 pts.

[Kiyaman]

The Knicks are doing some hard hustling to bring the lead down to 5 pts having 2 min remaining in the game. Rose Grimes RJ JR and Obi
Grimes for 3
Randle for 3
Randle get foul at the line to Tie and take the lead

[tiger0330]

Grimes and JR with 2 3s to cut the lead to one and JR gets fouled with a chance to go up for their first lead if JR makes both.

Crowd going crazy, JR makes both to make the score 111-110 Knicks.

[Kiyaman]

17 second remain in Game 113-110 Knicks
Randle tired and missed both free throws
Wizard Rookie Kispert hit a 3 to tie game at 113
Knicks ball .. 15 sec remain in game

[Kiyaman]

Randle ISO dribble hits a jumper with the clock running out for a Knicks WIN !!!
The Garden Fans went OFF to raise the roof .. Lets Go Knicks !!!

[tiger0330]

Guys that say RJ can’t D up don’t know what they’re talking about as RJ blocks Avedi’s shot in the final seconds. Knicks up 113-110 with 18 secs left. Hitting 3s and putting in guys committed to D.

The Wiz sniper Kispert hits a 3 to tie it. Knicks with the ball 16 secs left. JR goes ISO and hits a fallback 2 on Gafford. What a game, fans went ape, couldn’t even hear the whistle on a foul. DRose doing the post game and the fans still going nuts in the background.

The coaching staff should learn a lot from this game.

[Kiyaman]

What about rookie Grimes 2-Way performance the final 5 minutes of the Game !!!
Grimes performance in the final 3 summer league games said "He's NBA Ready" to fit into a rotation.

There were 4 min left in tonight game having a 93-102 Wizards lead .. At that moment my mind was not on a 4-0 Knicks preseason.
But watching the final 4 minutes of tonight Knicks game, where all 5 Knicks players with a 2nd energy-wind on offense/defense to pull out a 113-115 Knicks WIN ..
Plus the Knicks getting their first lead of the game with 33 sec remaining in the game .. made the game a double excitement performance for us Knicks fans !!!

I actually believe Beal DNP himself from this game lol
So not to deal with RJ defending him again. In the previous preseason game vs Wizards RJ tight defense had Beal shoot 5-13 and 1-5 from downtown for 14 pts.
Tonight RJ defense did come in handy on stopping the inside drives by Wizards guards Holiday/Neto/and Dinwiddle who took advantage of scoring on Kemba.
