Chapter 2: How did the Nuggets perform against the Timberwolves?
Like, and then that game, the entire second half, was nip and tuck. The Knicks, on the other hand, this is the... First time the Knicks have blown a double-digit lead going into the fourth quarter of a playoff game since the Reggie Miller choke sign game. It's been more than 30 years. They were up a dozen going into the fourth and were in total control of the series.
And Atlanta's best player, I mean, we can say CJ McCollum, but Jalen Johnson up to that point had really done nothing. And the Hawks with just CJ McCollum and no Jalen Johnson and company, you've got no business with that roster for the Knicks losing that game.
And Nikhil Alexander-Walker, their third best player, was not good.
No show.
He was 3 of 12 for 9 points. Now the Hawks have some excellent defenders, but... But you let Jonathan Kaminga and CJ McCollum combine for 50 on your head in your building to blow a double-digit fourth-quarter lead, that's just brutal. It really doesn't get much worse than that. And Jalen going 10 of 26, it's too many shots. When Towns goes 8 for 12...
Jalen can't go... Well, I mean, he is their point guard, and that's fine. But he can't... He can't go 10 of 26. And... Now, listen, he hit a huge three late to tie it. Just real quick, he hit a huge three late to tie it, and then he hit another huge three to cut it to one with seven seconds left. The guy's clutch, there's no doubting that, but he was looking for a shot a little too often.
In the second half, Demanze, he took 13 shots plus six free throws and had one assist. Jose Alvarado in his seven minutes in the second half had three assists. You just can't have that. What was your question? I'm sorry.
No, I'm just saying get your teammates more involved. Maybe Mikael Bridges hits that shot if he had a couple more shot attempts before. But you have to look for your guys. You're a point guard.
10 of 26 is not okay. At home, in a spot where you guys are the better team and you had control. And this is one of the things I love, just love so much about the NBA playoffs. Is everything matters. It's a two-month war and every little battle matters. And this is now, even if the Knicks win. Now, the Knicks, maybe they won't win the series. I still think they will. Maybe they won't.
