    Thank you for not giving away the outcome of these games in the thumbnail like NASCAR, MLB and anyone else with an ignorant it staff.

    Now can the 10 year old boy sounding announcers and I bet you get your audience back.

    Did thibs really give hartenstein more minutes than Obi? Everybody played 20+ minutes except Obi toppin. U telling me inconsistent rj jacking up bad shots scoring 7 points earned 30+ minutes?

    Everybody played a game out there but we ain't gone see he and realize Julius Randle didn't just do a up and down take one or two steps then passed it

    When Brunson was on the mavs (damn I miss him) and we faced the Utah jazz in the playoffs. Anyone remember that? Mitchel can’t guard Brunson only way cavs winning this series is if BRUNSON gets hurt.

    that announcer was so annoying openly cheering for the cavs, every time the knicks made a good play bros groaning in disappointment

    This ain't the old Knicks from way back they actually respected now good to see cause I know the fans went through hell 💯

    Best move Jazz ever done was get rid of Mitchell and Gobert. They wasn’t doing nothing for us! Getting us to the playoffs every year but losing first or second round everything time! Glad whom snider is gone too! We need another jerry Sloan!!!!!! But boss man from Celtics is Jazz front house and he’s making moves big moves and smart trades! Give it 3-5 years from now and the Utah Jazz will be unstoppable. 💯
