The Knicks never give up. Brunson joins a very elite group of players with four 40 point playoff games in a row.

The others Jerry West, Bernard King and Jordan.

The Timberwolves specifically built their team to counter the Nuggets, and BOY does it look like it's working right now

Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs was named Rookie of the Year yesterday, and he won it unanimously.

The Knicks Pacers was closer than I thought. One or two plays either way...I now think this could go 7 and I only have the Knicks as a sleight favorite.
In the West, the T-Wolves are dominant, and that is without Gobert! 48 points is great for Jokic for one game, but not for two! 16 points last night is embarrassing.
Denver needing 4 out of 5 now might be too much.

Wow, the Wolves duffed the Champs. I wasn't ready for them to be this hot this soon. Remember the massive Rudy Gobert trade there were questions, it's paying off and man was waiting for his baby to be born and wasn't even playing. They TOOK two from the Champs and this series might not even go back to Denver. What altitude, damn.

Color me suitably surprised. The T-Wolves are certainly sticking it to the champs while making Jokic look insignificant. Who had THAT on their Bingo card? I honestly thought Minnesota's win in game one was an anomaly, looks like it's the norm for this series.

Waiting on two discipline decisions right now, one is Patrick Beverley for throwing a basketball twice into the stands at fans(hitting one woman in the head), have a while before that needs to comes out since he's obviously at home now and a free agent but that one could be a doozy considering he basically assaulted fans, like I wouldn't be surprised if we see a suspension like the ones from Malice in the Palace over that

The more important one however is for Jamal Murray, during the drubbing the Nuggets took yesterday he first threw a towel at the refs that didn't quite make it, and then even more egregiously he threw a heating pad onto the court during play where it almost ended up under KAT's feet and could have caused major injury if he had stepped and slipped on it. So the Nuggets could very well be down their second most important player going into Minnesota



Edit: Latest news says Murray will avoid suspension but will likely be hit with a major fine

Last night, Boston made short work of the Cavs in game one of the East semis 120-95 while in the west, OKC topped Dallas 117-95.

Knicks Mitchell Robinson out for 6-8 weeks. They got cats playin 48 minutes as it is.

Not surprising. Tom Thibodeau is notorious for overworking his starters, wearing them down to nubs. He did that in Chicago, did it in Minnesota, so it's no shock he's doing that in New York.

Robinson had that ankle operated on, and missed part of the season. He also only played 12 minutes Monday. This isn't on Thibodeau. The Knicks don't show any signs of fatigue, maybe they are use to playing full on. They didn't break down against the Sixers.

Sadly, I can't argue that.

[Kirby101]

Sadly they gave Murray a slap on the wrist fine instead of a suspension. That behavior is beyond acceptable. At his salary he got what amounts to $50 fine to most people.

[Kirby101]

It looks like Robinson is blaming Embid for his injury on that dirty foul.
