Can someone explain to me why the #5 seed is playing the #8 seed and the #2 seed is playing the #3 seed?
Shouldn't #2 be playing #8 and #3 be playing #5? Is the NBA rigged or just what is that all about? Someone
help explain it to me please. Thanks.
Never been a huge knicks fan but i love their gameplay rn and hope they can keep it up
Adam Silver that Knix homer nba commissioner and his refs also helped so the Knix win in the final two minutes of the 4th quarter. It doesn't even count. They cheated.
its funny because the knicks had 5 points added to their lead by terrible calls on the refs
1. Brunson's "and 1" 3 was after the off ball foul occurred but they reviewed it and STILL gave him the and 1
2. Martin's shot clock beating chuck hit the rim and Vincent collected and put in a layup but the refs called it a shot clock violation.
Moral of the story Knicks won by 5
Let’s go my Knicks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏽🔵🟠
We played like complete shit. We barely won that without Jimmy Butler there’s no way we can win this series
Thanks to refs helping Knicks to win. How can 3 refs miss the ball clearly hitting to the rim. Looks like NBA ref corruption is still going on!
nag focus kase sila
Heats will win this series. Poor close out BUT with butler they will improve.
Even without Butler, the knicks BARELY win at home. They stole home court advantage with gm#1 win….fuk some knicks
Advantage Knicks for game 3. They are better on the road than at home. pressure benefits them. I have seen it all season long.
Next game jimmys goin for 50
Man…DROSE saved himself at 2:14. Great reaction! Even on the bench they wanna hurt him!!!!

The NBA is so bad now they have to click bait WILD ENDING for free throws, bricked shots, and a 6 point win. 👍🏿
loose ball foul @ :28 sec guy is hugging randle, flagrant on hart getting tackled, not called.
W/out Jimmy Butler😢
who's wild? ref?
Why is Butler not playing?
Randle, Brunson and Barrett is too much for the Heat to handle
The refs really made the Knicks go on a 21-7 run. The refs where out there splashing 3s it really wasn’t Josh Hart
The Knicks are trash they should have got swept
The Knicks are thee Surprise of the Playoffs ! And now Cuban maybe wondering if he made a Big Mostake or not ! 😂😂😂
Lucky we didn’t have butler , herro , and oladipo . New York can’t beat miami at all if they were healthy
1:18 Lowry is so bad
