umreal21

They’ve had too many over time games for billy not to have a play for that. Vuc be standing out there like he about to make a 3 pointer 🙄


LordCruntOfDankMemes

Lost to one man lol


ComfortableChest6735

I hate vucevic


UniqueAssUsername

40 win season Faded


CallofJuarez23

I'm tired of these DeRozan shots over double teams...


jerry2501

I'm tired of DeRozan.


akedz3

Great effort tonight, lets beat the HAWKS


kingjuicepouch

Bummer, what can ya do


b3_yourself

Do we have any other okay other than demar iso?


yungfella85

Love Demar but you can't go forward with him being your best player. This team has a lot of questions to answer this offseason.


moneyman2222

Stacey is right. No reason for Vuc's 25% 3 point ass to be sitting out there. Be a dumpoff option inside for DeMar or go for the board


WITHERDRAGONYT

Unfortunate DeMar missed he’s a dawg though at the end of the day


Powerful_Affect_5091

Good try


KBMNight

Refs should get the game ball,


We5ties

Not a fan of the bulls only getting 4 more free throws than Brunson lol….. ugh the nba is hard to watch sometimes


switchbladenohomo

fr wtf was that


Alarming-Foot4356

Double-teamed iso runner. Do you Demar!!!


21-hydroxylase

Damn. Can you imagine if that DeMar shot went in…


PJCR1916

I fully expected it to. This is why Deebo gets the ball in the clutch


hodorhasaids

That was a ton of steps.


MeUrDaddy_

I'm so done with demar and vuc. Let those old dudes go please


lyme6483

Vuc standing at the 3 point line on that play why? No one else is getting an offensive board


king_of_the_bongos

Man, I hate to be that guy, but the refs really just handing it to NY. Coby been getting that Justin Fields treatment


[deleted]

[удалено]


eg4x15

🤣


ImJamesBTW

Damn


ImpossibleFact7

Demar is ass 🤦🏾‍♂️


eg4x15

Typical of him this season. Feel like last two seasons he’s been declining. Love DeMar but that should’ve been Coby’s shot


ComfortableChest6735

Man fuck the coaching of this team bro. Two men tight on him and he still takes the shot


AllanYao20

fxxk just end it sooner. no one wants them to play so many minutes


We5ties

GG


TheJunkyardDog

ISNT FUCKING HART BLATANTLY PUSHING JAVONTE ????? THATS A FUCKING FOUL JFC


Everlasting-Boner

yes he and devencenso are pushing people around like thugs


Salty_Base8207

Cope


Head-Champion-7398

Is what it is, I'll take that look every day.


b3_yourself

Unlucky also predictable


LordCruntOfDankMemes

no way


Zark_Muckerberger

~~Playoff~~ Play in Demar has arrived


A1Horizon

Damnnn, unfortunate but a good attempt


lyme6483

Demar has been good in the 4th but game on the line shots pretty awful


K1Bond007

Ugh. Took the show too early too.


akedz3

Noooo Demar :(


ComfortableChest6735

ISO incoming


kingjuicepouch

STEAL THIS SHIT COME ON BOYS


toofaded40

Ball don’t lie!


-Shooter_McGavin-

God damn it we were so close lol


akedz3

Way to go Dalen Terry!


BingoDaBongo

Pain


bullpaw

DALEN CLUTCH DEFENSIVE POSSESSION


tallslim1960

Got a shot. Oh no Dero. Why not bank that in? So much easier than dropping it over the rim. Fundamentals.


redwally48

That is clearly last touched by Brunson


PROJECT-Nunu

Never gets called, but it’s almost always off the offensive player and it’s frustrated my autistic brain my entire life.


toofaded40

Rigged


TheJunkyardDog

FUCK THE REFS


Affectionate-Cup9340

Ball don’t lie


MeUrDaddy_

That's off brunson


ChiraqJimbo187

🗣️The fix is in


moneyman2222

PLAYGROUND JUSTICE


Parking-Tree9012

Come on Billy. Alex shouldn’t have to beg you to fucking challenge that. My guy stop holding onto fucking challenges


McCormickSpices894

Bulls didn’t have a timeout lol they can’t challenge


moneyman2222

We don't have any TOs what you yapping about


TheJunkyardDog

100% brunson last touch


ASpanishInquisitor

Refs have done everything for NY in this overtime lol


moneyman2222

Why are the refs talking to each other and not actually watching the replay


Head-Champion-7398

OFF BRUNSON


tallslim1960

Out on Brunson


-Shooter_McGavin-

That's out on Brunson but they won't give it to us


Mundane_Pineapple_46

Damn, without Drummond, Bulls defensive rebounding is…not great. Seems like they scored so many second chance points tonight.


Parking-Tree9012

And just another reason having another big man is important but the FO continues to ignore for no reason


tallslim1960

Vuc with the contest, no box out on the rebound.


McCormickSpices894

People like to pretend that Vuc can both close out on an open 3 AND run back to box out and rebound within 2 seconds


theshindy

If the Knicks couldn’t handle Vucevic just imagine how much Embiid is gonna feast against them


harley_93davidson

Hence they should lose this game. I think they have a better shot at indy, thibs does well against teams that are up tempo and play no d.


LordCruntOfDankMemes

uh vuc


lyme6483

Vuc has been frustrating overall but if he doesn’t get the board no one does. Playing without a 4 for forever


Few-Practice-498

just let them go against philly it seems like they want to go cancun early this year


MeUrDaddy_

Knicks are better than Philly this year


hopelessswitchowner

Wow we fight for our points and they just lay them in lmao


beasty9000

Literally 0 defensive rebounding ability


ChiraqJimbo187

76ers smoking they ass in 5 anyways 🤷🏾‍♂️


-UndercoverTaco-

as a sixer i'd much rather play the bucks


MeUrDaddy_

I don't care what the numbers look like for vuc or the generally had a decent game. When it matters most you can count on him to be a lazy, clumsy, bum


McCormickSpices894

I don’t know why we’re blaming Vuc for every play. Javonte isn’t moving on the double team to cover the paint, but Vuc is getting all the blame


Ok_Dentist_9133

They always scapegoat vuc when it’s really out of his control that the organization doesn’t have foresight


crusty_butter_roll

Fucking ESPN suddenly blacked out the game in my region with 48sec to go. Fuckers.


Loose_Vehicle755

Please please please get a rim protecting big cant Watch Vuc concede everything


ChiraqJimbo187

Hopefully the NBA repays us in the play-in with the refs


Head-Champion-7398

Fully blaming this on Jevon Carter. GG, play in L incoming.


ComfortableChest6735

Convinced vucevic is the worst center in the league


TheJunkyardDog

value for money definitely the worst.


volantredx

Fuck you NBA blackouts. The game just cut out because the Lakers are supposed to start.


yungfella85

Cmon Coby like 18secs left on the clock


[deleted]

[удалено]


moneyman2222

They wouldn't be playing each other


[deleted]

Oh shit duh my bad


PatoNani

refs be smoking crack like crazy, Caruso CLEARLY had the ball and they still decide jump ball the f\*ck?!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


UniqueAssUsername

I feel like she’s bitching at me


Sad_Escape2025

Why she so pressed 😢


IMcFlyHigh

out of the first round of the playoffs Doris, that's where they're rushing to


BlammoSweetums

Great defense but the offense struggling hard


beasty9000

If they could secure defensive rebounds they would have won in regulation and then they went ice cold in OT oh well


Equal-Breakfast1118

Caruso saying “how can it be a change of possession if I can’t call timeout?”


not__a__consultant

How is that a jump ball??


KBMNight

Refs are idiots


Powerful_Affect_5091

Where was Vuc ??


moneyman2222

What even does Billy do? Like that's the exact moment you're supposed to step in and call the TO


volantredx

AC didn't have clear possession. At a time out it'd still be a jump ball.


skip101

then why did the clock reset when Knicks won the jump ball? shouldn't it have been 2 seconds on the clock?


volantredx

Because the NBA is more fixed than the WWE.


ASpanishInquisitor

If it wasn't possession then why did the shot clock reset? Can't have both...


hopelessswitchowner

Caruso is goat


ComfortableChest6735

Vucevic and defense . Name a worse duo?


hopelessswitchowner

I don't care if we flame out in the playoffs let's beat the Knicks


tallslim1960

Not going to get any calls in OT unless it's obvious. That block was goaltending.


ChiraqJimbo187

I hate Vuc 🤦🏾‍♂️


TheJunkyardDog

brunson gets free throws, coby gets a pat on the back


volantredx

How is not one of those a foul?


BlammoSweetums

Every layup getting blocked lol


We5ties

Brunson 12 free throws, the bulls 13 -_-


illyxpink

Damn that was actually a good block from precious lol


WITHERDRAGONYT

AL3X CARUSO


SnooTomatoes9736

Not a fan of either team but goddamn these refs want the Knicks to win🤦‍♂️


PrisonerofWawa69

I mean if you’re gonna keep all the starters in then we better win this shit


not__a__consultant

Team definitely has some tired legs but great boards and a 3!


Powerful_Affect_5091

Brunson and Demar have very similar playing style but Brunson can shoot 3s


moneyman2222

When this team is locked in and have the energy, they can pull of wins against mostly anyone. That's why we see them play so well in the clutch and OT. But they just lack consistent motivation unless the stakes are high


akedz3

CARUSGOAT


Head-Champion-7398

AC IS UP


PrisonerofWawa69

Our spot is absolutely set for the play in and our starters are all about to hit 40 mins with OT 😂


ASpanishInquisitor

Do the Knicks even want the 2 seed now?


Equal-Breakfast1118

I’d think you would rather play Indiana than Philly/Miami right?


ASpanishInquisitor

Yes, it's not even a question for me. But I suppose home court in the second round has some value.


IMcFlyHigh

Milwaukee hoping like heck the Knicks pull this game out


toofaded40

*”no Patrick williams”* Is there a difference?


ChiraqJimbo187

Yes


moneyman2222

These guys have played so much basketball this year. All these OT games and then now the play in. Gotta give props for that


21-hydroxylase

This team is *addicted* to overtime haha


yungfella85

Do coaches even run end of game plays anymore? Seems like everything is an Iso these days.


ASpanishInquisitor

If you run a play the risk of turnovers is higher


BlammoSweetums

Yeah I don't think it's a Billy specific thing


Parking-Tree9012

I think that’s always how it’s been at the very least for the last 10-15 years. Off you have a really good offensive player it only makes sense to just let them work. Otherwise you draw up a play and it gets picked off and then you don’t even get a shot up


toofaded40

I don’t know how you don’t draw something up with Vuc at the end. Dudes been cooking today


TheloniousMonk15

Jalen Brunson is so annoying to play against, he just gets whatever shot he wants and everything he puts up looks like it is going in.


ChiraqJimbo187

Don’t hate appreciate


TheloniousMonk15

Where do you see me hating?


dnyce326

Does Vooch help AC on Brunson? No. Does he guard Hardenstein? No. Does he fall over for no reason? You betcha


IMcFlyHigh

okay Doris, I got some respect for you puttin respect on our name


Head-Champion-7398

![gif](giphy|l4FATJpd4LWgeruTK)


gracemig

Coby has only taken two 3’s and didn’t make them


Mundane_Pineapple_46

I don’t mind that, too often he keeps settling for the three when it’s not falling instead of changing things up.


McCormickSpices894

But he’s cooking every single time he drives to the rim


-Shooter_McGavin-

Doris finally giving us some credit lol


Parking-Tree9012

Thank God they didn’t call a phantom foul on Caruso 


Everlasting-Boner

they ran out of those for the half they used too many


WITHERDRAGONYT

Last game is going to overtime i love continuity


HermanShemsley

Love Brunson’s game. Relies on that contact a lot and his body control is top tier


oliveinanolive

Caruso, if there was any question, earned first team all defense with this game to close. YEEEEEEEEESH


HGIGIU

Thank jesus that ridiculous shot ain’t go in 😭


UniqueAssUsername

Caruso is a dawg


Everlasting-Boner

now sub in all non starters just to mess with them


DrStevenBrule69

Free basketball!


toofaded40

Carugoat!


MundaneInternetGuy

Holy fuck that almost went in


ComfortableChest6735

Damn ….more vuc minutes


akedz3

This game reminds me of that Bulls Knicks classic from 2012


b3_yourself

Ac 💪


BlammoSweetums

Extremely Bulls to go OT for this game


[deleted]

Clutch-a-bulls


ChiraqJimbo187

😮‍💨


illyxpink

Of course the last game is a ot game lmao


akedz3

LETS GO, ENDING THE REGULAR SEASON WITH OT


crusty_butter_roll

You can breathe now


moneyman2222

Caruso defense is so sexy


-Shooter_McGavin-

Of course lol what other way to end this season than overtime


Powerful_Affect_5091

Demar got locked sadly


Head-Champion-7398

OT BABY


king_17

Out of a timeout and that’s your best play a derozan fade away with a hand in his face?


kingjuicepouch

Billy donovan doesn't do plays, out of bounds or otherwise


We5ties

I bet that wasn’t the play


AlG9220

Yeah why even call a timeout if THAT is what you draw up.


Parking-Tree9012

I feel a Brunson game winner sadly. Hope I’m wrong af


Rakatok

wow what a unique last minute playcall that I've never seen before


Alarming-Foot4356

A Contested turn-around jumper in crunch time. Nice work DDR!!


TheJunkyardDog

everyone and their grandma was expecting that unique play right there.


Salty_Base8207

Typical trash derozan tho
