    I loved the "Pat Freaking Connaughton" sign in the crowd. Hilarious. Pat was dominating in the first quarter. The kid who brought the sign was prepared.

    They’ll match if he doesn’t get traded. But I don’t think it’ll get to that.

    That was long after the game, honkicracker. When he hit the shot, nobody said a thing. Look at the thread and see for yourself.

    I like how you brought up something logical and rationale, (why no one celebrated CJ's shot) and then went with this gem.

    Beasley has been great for Knicks and is the kind of "can go for 30 on any night" type scorer we need. And Napier would become a star in New York and he deserves to be.

    A normal person doesn't spend every second of a game pushing f7 on their keyboard...
    Bones gave CJ props for making the game winning shot.
    What more do you want? 6 pages of people gushing about how amazing CJ's runner was?
    I'll remember that next time there is 5.9s left. To stop watching the game, come on s2 and spam praise for whomever made the shot to put Portland ahead.
    Will that please you?
    Good grief man, just be happy Portland won instead of calling out a forum.

    I respect LMA's game but when he was at the line late in the game...I knew he would miss at least one. And the fact they went to him 20 feet away from the basket with the game on the line....seen it before. He is a good player but bigs do not win many games at the end.... because they can't drive.

    I just noticed it. That's all. I don't want even a page of people gushing about CJ. It's just that no one acknowledged that the shot went in. Usually when a big shot goes in OR DOESN'T everyone goes "Yes!" or "Fuck" but no one reacted to CJ's shot at all. And there were two full timeouts to post. It's bizarre. You don't have to "stop watching the game" to type "CJ!!!" It was weird. I like to look back at threads after a game to see how people responded to parts of the game. No one reacted to CJ's shot. As far as BonesJones' post, that is still the only post that has praised him at all since the game ended. I mean What. The. Fuck? You haven't even done it!

    And 6 pages of people gushing about CJ is actually pretty appropriate given how much people love to trash him.

    Well, some reporter asked to say some thoughts about Bazzy and his contribution. He talked alot about him filling in for Dame...not really gushing. Seems to me like he didn't see him here long term...dunno. As much as he's done I'd think he'd be more positive about it. It was more in the background while watching but he seemed kind of annoyed with the question for some reason.

    That was a very satisfying victory. Beat the Spurs. LA with the brick at the end. Mo came out of nowhere. Bazz was fun. CJ got it done down the stretch.

    BUT most importantly, we did not let Manu Ginobli - aka Satan himself - steal that game from us. I hate that guy!

    Yeah I would have thought the same. But then CJ gets a good look in the lane, and SA settles for a 20 footer. That was twilight zone stuff. I guess Pop was limited with no Kawhi.
