They made it very clear.... The Lakers are good but they aren't OKC good and with that let's go to some random Hockey story instead with millions of Basketball fans watching rn! Makes total sense 
It's crazy just how bad Inside the NBA has gotten at this point. |

Luka and AR are not the foul baiters that Brunson and Harden are.
I hate their game. Sure, AR and Luka get calls but Brunson is so blatant and the refs are so stupid, they fall for it. |
Have to be honest, AR has turned into a pretty high level foul baiter. |
One might call him a master baiter |

| Problem with the Knicks, their offense really seems limited in crunch time. Comes down to shot creation. They only have Brunson and KAT is not man enough to dominate down in the paint. I remember KAT and Bynum are from the same high school and they said KAT was miles ahead of Bynum. Not when it comes to paint dominance. |

Bridges can create his own shot. They seemingly forget he's on the team. |

He was out with an injury. That’s why he was a bit off today. He missed some time. |

Next quarter it's the MOST ticky tack fouls you'll ever see. |
Spot on. And it seems they get in their feelings too much sometimes. Hey refs! No one pays to see you. Just call the game with some level of consistency and stop trying to act all tough. |
Yeah seriously i mean how is Silver even looking at this and thinking yes this is good for the league!
Im all for playing rough defense! I absolutely love it. But you cant have it be THIS inconsistent. |

Hell I forgot that overpaid dude was on the team. Dude was more invisible than OG. |

| 109pts allowed in OT is insane. Renewed focus on defense really raised the floor of this team. |

I loved watching him unload that 3 pointer all over the Knicks. The master baiter really needed that one as he was over due for an explosion after shooting blanks for the majority of the game. |

It’s a problem if Brunson is hurt, but when he’s in the game he’s the most successful clutch scorer in the league this year…stat wise…and the Knicks are the best clutch team. Brunson just rarely misses down the stretch of a close game and the few times he does he usually gets to the FT line. The offensive strategy has been working exceptionally well for the Knicks to get wins this year in crunch time.
I never want injury and was scared of the Knicks crunch time offense this game…Lakers vs Knicks 3/6…too before it happened. JJ knew it too and doubled to get the ball out of Brunson’s hands to end regulation, thanks Josh

Yeah, that's what I normally always do as well but I was riding the high after that win which allowed me to just laugh it off at least and still turn it off immediately after my post
I recently made the switch to Hulu for live tv and man, the only thing I miss is the Lakers channel after kind of taking it for granted after all those Years. Streams just aren't the same.
Worthy alone makes it better than anywhere else.. You hear that Barkley? I still prefer Worthy to you!  |

That’s how you know they aren’t real fans. Our streak must be doing a number on them mentally |

Are there any scoring buffs that know how the Knicks final possession in regulation is captured in the box score? Is there a stat for that, when you don't get a shot off?

afaik there is no stat for that. It isn't a turnover, it is just a nothing. Shot clock violations are team turnovers, but this doesn't even rise to that. If you look at the play by play on nba.com it doesn't have anything. It tells you the lineup change, then it goes to the over time period. Good question though. |

No shame there, I think our crew is one of the best in the business. I normally hate national telecasts but I just wanted to see Chuck's face after we won a nailbiter. He's been hating lately. |

Well before he loses that job, can he also give Derek Lively to us as well?

Thanks, I think you're right. Lakers don't get any credit for the most important stop of the game. They played it exactly how I hoped, hard double on Brunson. Force someone else to make a play.
