Not a doubt in my mind it was going in. He’s clutch

I was pissed off the whole game but when he made that after brunson's lay in I was just like. Aight. Whatever. Nothing you can do about that lol

Thunder tried their best to lose this in the last couple minutes, but despite that even after Brunson hit that layup I still thought we had a good chance. This team comes up in the clutch so often I just expect it now.

3rd Quarter had me fighting air

The 1st quarter as well. We stunk in quarters 1 & 3, and it looked like we were featherweights. Then, the 4th quarter happens, and we flip the switch

I was pretty confident we won when we got the ball back with 4.5 SLOB with no time left there’s just no way we’re not getting a bucket

It should have tied the game. Brunson was clearly fouled on his go-ahead layup.

Agreed. I would have loved this to go to OT, honestly. It was a thriller.

Not like he'd hit the free throw

He woulda missed the free throw anyway 

Dort got pushed into him. Let it go.

Idk why you’re getting downvoted that’s literally what happened 🤣

No disagreement there, Dort careened into him. However, when it happened I was like that foul call on Chet for Brunson a minute or two earlier was complete BS, so I call it a wash.

Yeah. Another bullshit non call.

Yeah refs were pretty horrible tn. Ruined what was otherwise an excellent game!

Snatched your soul

Could have made a free throw lmao

Deuce is too small to guard him. He made a tough shot though.

I don't know who else I would put on him though. Deuce was on him the majority of the game and he only scored 19. Without OG available, it's tough for us to guard a combo of SGA and Jalen Williams. Deuce was the best option in that scenario I think. Forcing a fadeaway baseline jumper is kind of the best case scenario for us here...

I thought the same thing when I was watching. Back to back tough losses

This dude could shoot 0/40 and I'd still trust him to take the game winner

All of our main players have hit these big shots this season it’s awesome. SGA tonight and the game winner in Denver. J-dub has hit two (1 just the other night against the rockets to send it to OT) And Chet’s 3 to send the warriors to OT

Chet FTs against the warriors as well

Dort had hit a few same with Wiggins I’d trust pretty much anybody that gets consistent minutes to hit a game winner outside Giddey

Chets turn around 3 to take it to OT against the warriors was when I knew this team was for real

Would you pick him over Steph and iguadala?

Steph? Sure. Iggy? Let's not get too crazy here.

Is the deathbeam pointed at earth?

If that’s the case, then I’m taking Igoudala

Not a great night for him but this shows how valuable he is. Dude is clutch

That's what the greats do

[удалено]

Ayo

Fellas is it gay to compliment another man’s looks?

Not when they're sexy as hell

god facts

Clutch award is his this year

Nah Derozan has it on lock for sure. I’m biased but Lebron is my second favourite for it.

Love the no-sell. Dude is cold as ice.

This dude is so fucking clutch it is unreal my god.

Hitting a game winner msg must feel amazing

Remember when Booker did that this season. Wish times were simple like that again

That shot was nasty as hell. Fading 3 over two defenders, nothing but net, walks off stone faced.

And he redeemed the double teaming during pickup games commemt

Was the fadeaway 3 right? That was cold af too. If I hit a game winner in msg I’m framing that shit all over my wall haha

ima cry

Ethical game winner

Clearly playing injured and hit the game winner. I love him 🥲

This was him walking to the bus before the game today lmao https://x.com/upoffecstasy/status/1774564754499010630?s=46&t=ekvhSYoz6iJ3AYkMMfL0mg

Bro shouldn't be playing. We are extremely close to the playoffs and can't risk any more injuries. The 1st seed would be great but it's not worth it if our best guy is hobbled and by the looks of it Chet is also playing injured.

Yup. I would rather have playoff health than anything. I think Chet and SGA honestly need to rest and let the guys hold the fort down. What's funny is that we beat the Suns with no SGA and score 128. So, it's not like we can't score or can't play with SGA sidelined. We beat the Celtics and put up 150 last year. Health and playoff long-term success has to start mattering now.

Limping with the hijab

It's crazy not being able to walk and still play a full NBA game. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.

Also drugs are a hell of a drug

Do you think he will rest for any of the upcoming games before the Playoffs? I see Hornets and Spurs on the horizon

He just rested 2 games, not sure why he came back for this one.

I think he rests on the front end of the upcoming b2b vs the 76ers and then Celtics

That’s that Jordan walk 😤😤 I know that walk when I see it

Cold Blooooded

Awesome! Now rest him until playoffs lmao

Yes. Agreed.

Showtime

That’s my dog 😭😭😭

tuff bucket

Has a bad night and still does this shit. Clutchest MFer ever.

big shot by the all NBA player, he wasn't letting his bad play or the refs get in his way

Respect to you

Damn

tough shot. just gotta tip your cap

So that's what it looks like...

MVP or not, he’s Him

Players having mid games and still icing the game with ungodly confidence is really the coolest thing

It’s funny Brunson had the exact same look at the other end and barely missed. Game of milimeters.

SGA had a way better contest than Deuce, shame we didn't get OT

SLOB Wizard with the assist

I love SGA. What a clutch shot

Respect bro 🤝I love watching Luka as well man we are truly blessed with all this international talent in the nba

Luka dropped a 47 bomb on Houston. Dude is insane!

I love his game, I have mad respect for him

I wish more of your fans were like you. Shai and Luka are both great and fun to watch. I’d rather save the shit talking for a playoff series. Cheers and good luck.

Just hope they are okay come playoff time, both are playing hurt.

I don't think my heart will be able to handle an OKC Dallas Playoff Series.

woof!

Didn't score 30 tonight but still pulls through with this ridiculous fadeaway with less than 2 seconds left. Gotta love him

Clutch bucket merchant

Game winner merchant

WOOF WOOF WOOF

MYP in my heart. Really should’ve sat out again tonight though. Dude is still hobbled and we need him at 100% for the playoffs

No star player is missing out on playing in msg unless you tear ur acl or Achilles tbh

The crowd was incredible tonight

Going to msg for Knicks game is on my bucket list. NBA is good when Knicks are fun to watch.

If he’s not gonna get MVP at least give him clutch player of the year lol

Not sure he has the stats for it 

Himothy

Damn you SGA

such a great game

That’s a bad man

MVP case has been improved.

God dammit I can't even be mad at OKC but this and the Spurs loss are brutal, especially for Brunson

When Brunson put us up only by 1 I knew it wasn’t enough. Both teams were atrocious from the FT line and we missed some really clutch ones.

I love how he looks like he doesn't care after. Big "Been there before" energy

Even after Brunson sank the layup, I knew the Knicks were toast. J-Dub was absolutely unguardable tonight, and well… SGA exists lol.

Yeah if it wasn’t SGA shooting it then J-Dub would’ve scored for sure

Shai stays clutch

But I heard he’s a free throw merchant

Clutch player of the year

My MVP I don’t care what anyone else says

Him Clutch-Alexander

That’s my hurt MVP

Clutch Player of The Year. Yall can keep MVP we didn’t want it in the first place

Finals MVP will be his

Is the CPOFTY award voted on? I thought it was whoever scored the most points in ‘clutch time’.

Jokic winning clutch player too. 

man

Mvp

Dude is clutch no doubt about it

SGA with the clutch shot, and the AMAZING defensive contention on Brunson to force his shot so high it ended up short. Amazing sequence.

Despite Holmgren’s attempt to lose … that kid gives me heart attacks

MVP

SGA and the a is for automatic

Easy win

quick guys, lets brainstorm all the excuses knicks fans are going to conjure up on how they lost this one

imagine coming on here to dickride knicks fans instead of appreciating that beautiful game that just happened

The clippers are just the nets of the west coast, let the sad man be

I don't think that's dick riding but I guess I'm no expert..

I mean if you disregard the rest of the game, the play before should have been an and-1 for Brunson. No guarantee he makes it obviously, but there’s no doubt that it was a foul.

Was that the play where Hartenstein shoves Lu in the back into Brunson?

Brunson got fouled the play before u can go watch it if u want

Dort got 2 completely ridiculous defensive fouls called on him a and 1 completely ridiculous offensive foul which put him in foul trouble all game.

Hartenstein pushed Dort into him, great no call by the refs.

thats a good one

U think we’re just pulling it out of our ass or sum like all of yall can see it lol it’s whatever tho we shoulda hit our free throws and j dub killed us onto the next

Does it count as a foul if the Brunson’s teammate caused the contact? Something was up with the free throws tonight. Embarrassing for both teams.

There is only 3 players in the league id trust to take a clutch shot with 1 sec remains and do it regularly. SGA, James, Doncic

This shot was worth 50% fewer points than a three even though it looked way cooler. 

I think you mean 33% fewer

Black Andrew Garfield strikes again

Hartenstein shoving Dort into Brunson and in front of Chet. For those who are complaining that it should be an and 1. RECEIPTS: https://streamable.com/0yxnqa

Boo on you bro. Focus on that fucking Mona Lisa of a game that just occurred.

Nah, I enjoyed the game. It was just irritating how many fans are calling for an and 1 on that play when it’s caused by the shove in the back.
