DL on pace for 32 FT tonight. 8 FT and a drawn charge in the 1Q alone. Meanwhile, JB is fouled on nearly every possession but they’ve had not called a few of them. JB had 17 in the 1Q.

Hard enough to win on road alone, but if DL gonna shoot 20+ FTs… Knicks have no chance.

 

[mafra]

First half record for MIL tonight… most FT attempts in a half. 21 already. Clearly refs are going to ensure a Bucks victory. The fix is in.

NBA is rigged

That's bad .. Bucks took 38 FG attempts to get 21 FT shots
And Knicks took 51 FG shots to get 10 FT shots

Dame jumped on ground to fetch a loose ball. 1.5 seconds on shot clock. Mitch reaches and ties him up but DL flopped like a fish out of water, spinning right and left. Mind you… 1.5 seconds left on shot clock, Dame is lying on ground, 35 feet from hoop with back to the basket… they called a foul and awarded 2 FTs. That just can’t happen.

JB drives and slight shoulder bump into Dame… he flops. It’s a charge. Giannis drives and lowers shoulder into OG, knocks him down…. It’s a blocking foul and 2 FTs.

 

[mafra]

Lead at 8. JB fouled 3 times and MiL dislodges ball on his shot attempt… no call. Giannis drives down and lightly touched. Giannis shooting 2. It’s ridiculous if you are watching.

 

[Kiyaman]

Hart grabs the rebound and beat all his teammates down to the other end of the court dribbling the ball, not once but twice .. Wsup Knicks ???

 

[Kiyaman]

JB getting Hartenstein in on the scoring may charge-up IHart battery in the 2nd half for the win ....

 

[Kiyaman]

I heard that foul on Divo through the tv

 

[Kiyaman]

On the charge to stretch the lead should we put OG on the bench

 

[Kiyaman]

I wish we could Stop passing the ball to Big Mitch below his knee level

 

[mafra]

Knicks up 89-85 after 3Q

Bobby Portis keeping it close. 18 points.

37 for JB

OG giving nada on offense.

 

[Kiyaman]

McBride luv that left side 3 than the right side .. McBride again for a layup, McBride again for the steal .... Knicks leading by 10 .. 97-87 ..8 min remain in game

 

[mafra]

97-87 Knicks!!! Lets go

 

[Kiyaman]

6 minutes remain in game, we need to go on a run before Gianni's do .. Knicks 104 Bucks 98

 

[Kiyaman]

Divo with the 3 to beat the shot clock, then Divo come back for another 3 ..
117-103 Knicks lead over Bucks ..
2 minutes left

 

[Kiyaman]

Bucks fans not happy the remaining seconds of the game.
Now back to Chicago on Tuesday to beat the Bulls Defense.
Go Knicks .. 46th Win !!!

Brunson set a MIL franchise record for most points against them in a single season. Not even MJ sliced and diced them like JB did this season.

Jalen Brunson’s 5 games vs MIL this year:

45 Points on 17/30 (56.7%)
24 Points on 10/22 (45.5%)
36 Points on 15/26 (57.7%)
38 Points on 15/28 (53.6%)
43 Points on 16/32 (50.0%)

Averaging 37.2 PPG on 52.2%. Insane

Knicks tied for 3rd and a game behind MIL. Bucks and Magic play twice! MIL also plays BOS and OKC.

If Knicks beat Bulls twice and beat the Nets…. There’s a chance 2-3 seed.

 

[mafra]

43/8/6 for Brunson lol

4 steals and 2 blocks for OG

18 & 10 for iHart and he’s diving for loose balls

8-for-11 from downtown for Donte

7/9/9 for Hart

15 points in 16 mins off the bench from Bogey

3 blocks and 3 Off boards for Mitch Rob

2 big 3PT’s and 3 steals from Deuce

1 win

Nobody wants to see these dudes in the playoffs.
