Fake news naman to i nakatabla pa ang newyork 3-3 standing i
4:06 we see Jalen's pain
Jordans son Jimmy Bulter does it again!!!
Heat fan here, my big respect to Brunson
I admit, didn’t get to watch this one (date night) but, didn’t seem so wild really, refs had if closer because a clear offense foul…but still wasn’t that close
🔥 Go Heat 🏀
Look at how Miami double team on the first 5 seconds of the game. Thats a toughest wall out there its not a force double team both Vincent and Bam just standin in front usinf side to side hands to cover. Thats how Miami keeps wins their game hey are smart on a defensive end. If a team knows how to defend you will succeed in playoffs. It always the defense that wins on the crucial positions. Heat is the best team in defensive stops.
Erik Spoelstra cooking.
DENVER gonna win it all !!!
Bye bye Knicks 😂
Let's hear it, knicks fans xD
Trade Randle
どこまで俺に夢を見させてくれるんや。。。ヒート最高!!
None of these nba teams moves me.really boring without kawhi leonard running the show.
Bro RJ Barrett let Kyle Lowry lock him up? 😭😭😭😅😅😅 cancel his entire contract. Lowry sucks and has never clamped anyone.
Jalen Brunson put in that work, all respect to him💯

After a great game Brunson choked in the end. Mavs fans have seen that dozens of times. You never saw “game winning shots” In his entire career in Dallas. He’s just not built for the
Last two minutes of big games.
Offensively or defensively.
Full Respect to Brunson
Heat even lost first play in game LOL
Poor brunson knicks shuld not signed this guy
Amazing 😍👍
Love my Knicks. Proud of what we accomplished this season and we have a lot of reasons to be excited about the future.
The Heat are probably the most well coached team in the league, have a ton of experience and toughness on the roster. Have to give the credit they earned.
Going forward, the Knicks have to find a legit 1A to Brunson. Randle ain’t it, he’s gotta go. Barrett is a 3rd option. Got the chips to make a move. Going to be a fun offseason. If the Celtics are crazy enough to put Brown on the block they have to make it happen.
🥴 Lets Go Knicks 🏀
Brunson should go to the Bucks. There is nothing for him in NY.
Best coach
Basic PG skills don't exist in todays NBA. You had a mans wide open!😂
The Jimmy Butler & Miami Heat stint have been a crazy bunch.
2020 – Finals with a crazy Butler Run
2021- Unfortunately Swept
2022- Division Title & ECF Final as no.1 seed
2023 – No.8 seed, B2B division titles, B2B ECF, Jimmy Butler 56pt record, and he was an all-nba player.
Why Brunson didn't passed it to his open teammate?
Miami is the better team
Thanks to that man Brunson hahahah😂
Time for randle to go, dude is an absolute bum when it matters
Harkless is open for 3. Brunson come on!
Brunson is such a talent, may he prosper in his career, a lose for the Mavericks is a gain for the knicks
Tough loss for the Knicks. Brunson basically did it all himself. Randle- 15 pts in 36 mins, Barrett- 11 pts in 32 mins. That's literally 26 pts in 66 minutes combined. Had they each hit at least one more bucket each the score would have been different. And why is Grimes taking an off-balanced 3 while being wide-open with 14 seconds left? He could have set his feet to give himself a better chance but then again he was even worse than the other two with 3 pts in 32 mins. Lots of work to do in the off-season but the key pieces are there. GG Miami and good luck!
feels sorry for Brunson tho. felt the same pain when MIA lost last yr to BOS
Those 3 minutes Brunson sat genuinely might have cost them the game. One of the best performances throughout a series I've seen all Playoffs. Hats off to Jalen man genuinely scared me for a second.
Why Brunson not pass to Hart?
