Most Points in 1st Quarter of Playoff Game Scoreless in Rest of Game, Last 30 Seasons Paul George 15 Tonight Jason Kidd 14 Apr 2003 Ron Harper 13 Apr 1998 Voshon Lenard 12 May 1997 PG: 0-9 FG after 1Q (others: 0-5 combined)

Get ‘im 30.

Mitchell Robinson’s post game interviews are so night and day from when he was a shy rookie. I wonder if anyone remembers that. He would say one word in response and fidgeted. He’s so confident & talkative & insightful now. With that Mitch sense of humor. I always want him on my team.

Embiid will get a lot of criticism. He’s earned a lot of it, but not all of it. Maxey has been shit. The assist to turnover is disgraceful & he’s been so passive for long stretches. (Credit to Mikal.) Paul George can’t be 1st quarter Paul. That’s just stealing money. A lot of cheesesteaks.

🏆 FRIDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏆 Jalen Brunson shines as the Knicks win Game 3 and take a 3-0 series lead in Round 2 of the NBA Playoffs presented by Google! Mikal Bridges: 23 PTS, 2 STL Landry Shamet: 15 PTS Game 4: Sunday, 3:30pm/et on ABC

It’s worth repeating… The Knicks were down 12 at the halfway point of the first quarter and outscored Philly by 26 over the final 42 minutes.

#nuffsaid 🟠💪🏾🔵💪🏾🟠💪🏾🔵 LFG!!!! @ny-knicks.bsky.social

Spurs currently on a 151-98 run.

Paul George didn’t score a single point after a volcanic first quarter, I think.

After the Knicks Game 3 win, Jalen Brunson became their franchise leader for most 30+ PTS, 5+ REB, 5+ AST playoff games 👏 Jalen Brunson — 7 Walt Frazier — 6 Patrick Ewing — 5

Zero percent chance Embiid plays Game Four in a building full of Knicks fans.

without og anunoby, the knicks just notched their second-best single-game defensive rating of the playoffs (102.2, per ctg)

Fun game: What’s Nick Nurse going to cry about this time?

Shout out to Mikal Bridges for stepping up.

KAT had 12 boards (4 offensive) and 7 assists in 26 minutes.

Landry Shamet with the team high +20 in 26 minutes.

There will be zero Sixers fans at Sunday’s game on Mother’s Day.

Sixers emptying the bench with 2:05 to play. They'll go down 0-3 in this series. No NBA team has ever overcome that in a best-of-seven.

This team is for real for real, man. They will just outlast your best effort and put one on you.

Mariano Rivera

Still a game but the Sixers have had chances and the Knicks respond every time. Not our best offensive game but we’re doing enough on both ends to keep arms length. Mariano time.

We’ve gotten too predictable on offense without KAT.

Embiid has so little left all the shenanigans are sadder and sadder.

Prime Halftime Show had the state that the Knicks outscored Philly 52-32 over the last 18 minutes of play.

Knicks break down on that corner three far too often. Oubre’s main contribution has been that open shot.

This is the way. These teams aren’t in the same league. We’ve been through the fucking wars together.

LOL

How is Nick Nurse challenging this?

Down 4 after they came out like gangbusters with dunks and PG threes. Very happy with that resilience. This team is like that.

Stay connected. This is a looooong game.

I expect the Sixers to play like bats out of hell tonight. The Knicks will have to play their A game.

If he plays I want every first quarter play to be a Brunson/KAT pick and roll.

This is the Fall of the Third Reich shit, man.

Tyrese Maxey was on the bench for a grand total of 1 minute & 12 seconds in Game 2 tonight. Sixers lost those minutes by 6, outscored 7-1.

I think, early in the game when he was cooking, Mike Breen said that the Sixers have been nearly unbeatable when Paul George scores 20. PG finished with 19.

That was an excruciating game.

I can’t watch this shit, man.

KAT is a moron.

The Knicks look like shit out there and the Sixers can’t miss and we’re only down two. The issue is lethargic defense. Mike Brown seems addicted to using Brunson to blitz the ball handler which hasn’t worked one time this entire postseason.

The Knicks will lose this game by double digits if they don’t clean up the 3-pt defense.

Hukporti is just playing too stupid. Aggressive for no reason.

Jordan Clarkson plays so damn hard. He’s really flipped a switch for Mike Brown.

Sixers' corner 3s... Game 1: 1-for-5 First 9:35 of Game 2: 4-for-5

Get a fucking timeout
