@NBA_NewYork Patrick Ewing has to be there. The man who led the Knicks to both of their most recent NBA Finals appearances. Arguably the greatest Knickerbocker of all time and a true warrior.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@NykTerry @NBA Oh cool, yeah I also posted in the playoffs they definitely let the play be more physical both ways, especially in crunch time they don’t want refs deciding the games obviously.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@NykTerry @NBA I said it looks like an offensive foul in slow motion not that it necessarily was an offensive foul. Still, the Spurs would be wise at key moments to try & beat him to the spot & take a charge. Easier said than done though bc they can’t be sure when he’s going to be going for it.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@NBA The refs also allow a much more physical brand & style of play in the playoffs which also definitely helps the grizzled vets that make up the entirety of the Knicks starting five along with Robinson & Shamet. The Spurs are in a whole world of trouble in this series. Enormous.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@NBA In slow motion it really looks like an offensive foul but in real time it’s hard to see bc he’s bumping someone bigger than him, which is almost always the case, but he knocks the primary defender off balance & what makes a pro a pro is the help close by doesn’t phase him at all.

BRUNSON IN THE CLUTCH!

Down 2 with under a minute to go.
Gets to his spot.
Scores to tie the game.

Knicks win Game 2 to take a 2-0 series lead in the NBA Finals 🍿

@trueglib @TNTSportsUS Possibly but either way he’s a trend setter so whatever he’s doing is what a lot of other people will be doing shortly.

@YahooSports All the haters in the comments are hilarious. Maybe if they ever attended a Knicks game at MSG they would know that at every single game they spotlight celebrities in attendance. The stars of Broadway literally & figuratively. Celebs are part of the Knicks culture. Their mascot.

[Marco @Mrey55]

How’s that depth looking so far?

[Marco @Mrey55]

The fact that there is so little engagement on this tells you all you really need to know but no they don’t have the most depth they’ve had since 2019. In order to have depth you have to have a rock solid foundation built first and the Yanks do not have that.

[MLB Now @MLBNow]

"This is the best depth they've had since 2019... it's going to get tested, especially if this is extended."

@Joelsherman1 shares insight into Aaron Judge's injury and what's next for the Yankees if it's determined he'll miss more time.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@TalkinYanks Boone & Cash are full of & love excuses. They are the masters at highlighting them so it won’t be long, if things go very south for them very quickly, for us to start hearing about them not having Judge so what do you expect really? If they fall short, well we didn’t have Judge.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@TalkinYanks You know Boone is sitting pretty right now with their record still being over .500 but the games come fast & furious in MLB. It wouldn’t be surprising at all to see the Yanks quickly plummet to around .500 & the scariest part is it won’t bother Boone that much bc he has an excuse

[Marco @Mrey55]

@YankeeSource Also, the only one developed by the Yankees is Rice, who has his limitations defensively. Cashman & Co. have produced one offensive player to help shoulder the load while Judge is out. ONE!!!! 🤯

[Marco @Mrey55]

@YankeeSource Rice, Bellinger & Jazz. All of their other hitters on this roster & in this lineup come with enormous question marks & asterisks. If only folks were screaming to the mountain tops that the Yanks were woefully under fortified up & down the roster all winter long. Oh wait!! I did!!

[Marco @Mrey55]

@espn Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, a very young Shaq & Alonzo Morning. All of them sure fire hall of famers & they would all eventually get a ring except for Ewing, but none in their prime except for Hakeem, who won the two much too the Knicks and Ewing’s chagrin.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@espn Unsurprisingly it looks like The Admiral might be able to suit up for at least a few minutes for the Spurs. One of the best nicknames ever in sports & for those too young, my goodness gracious could he hoop but Jordan somehow managed to dominate an era teeming with HOF centers.

[Marco @Mrey55]

@NBA The ball movement is a thing of beauty. Poetry in motion.

[Marco @Mrey55]

No Hakeem the Dream either. This is now firmly their finals to lose but the great thing about this Knick team is they don’t care about any of that. There’s only one thing they care about right now and that’s posting a W in their next game working together & cohesively as one unit

[Marco @Mrey55]

I heard an ex-radio host whose “show” emanates from his basement studio in LI w/ little poodle dogs in tow & he’s convinced that a ton of pressure is now on the Knicks. There’s no pressure on the Knicks. When you haven’t won a Chip since loaf of bread cost 30 cents it’s all gravy

[NBA @NBA]

KNICKS GET THE HUGE DEFENSIVE STOP TO WIN GAME 2 🚨

THEY'VE WON 13 STRAIGHT AND LEAD THE NBA FINALS, 2-0 🚨

[Marco @Mrey55]

There would be pressure on the Knicks if they were defending a Title. It’s been so long since they won one it might as well have never happened for many. They have given their fans more thrills this year & are closer to a Title than ever. There’s no Jordan. Just a very young pup.
