This was the worst of the worst. Harper runs on the court to force the refs to stop play and doesn't receive a tech, after the refs give brunson the ball to start the play.
Call it what you want, this is horrible, impactful moments that can sway a game
I’m not one for the “if you weren’t here for this” tweets. But I will say:
As a kid, I (and I know many of you) sat there watching every single game. Grasping for any hope.
Jubilant for the smallest victories.
Marbury and Curry and Lee and Melo and Porzingis and tanks and lotteries and teams without even a single recognizable name.
Hundreds of hours of wondering how in the world we could even approach where this team now finds itself.
So I say, let’s bask in it.
Congrats to all of you. Let’s keep going.
I am so incredibly happy for Knicks fans.
1994 was one of the most gut-wrenching Finals losses in NBA history.
Not getting back again until 1999, when Ewing had a torn Achilles and they were close to drawing dead to the Duncan-Robinson Spurs was a different type of cruelty.
And somehow never truly coming close in any season since then should have just been unfathomable. Instead, it was entirely predictable and at various times they were a national punch line.
To turn this season around from what it seemed like it was going to be (another promising but inevitably disappointing season), into what it became (the single most dominant month of playoff basketball from a margin of victory standpoint in the history of the NBA), is truly remarkable.
I am picking the Knicks in the Finals but more importantly I’ll be rooting for the Knicks in the Finals.
The NYC hoops fans deserve this moment.
