    Y'all like the fake news... Sounds bytes.... The real story is Harden MVP 61. Let's talk about that

    The tucker dunk on kuzma in the Lakers game was Amar'e stoudamire worthy. The dunk was meta world peace peace worthy. It was even Carl Landry once in a blue moon worthy.

    I guess the expectation was that Tucker would inbound. When Gordon grabs the ball and goes to the sideline, both Harden and Tucker look frustrated, as if Gordon inbounding the ball wasn't the original plan

    One of the weirdest plays I've ever seen hahaha. Thank goodness we got the W

    certainly goes along with harden's reaction, when he's immediately looking and yelling at gordon as he gets the ball with a wtf are you doing

    I thought this as well. We are all making the assumption that his eyes were focused on EG and the ball. Obviously he HAS to be more aware than that, especially in crucial moments...but it may have been an honest mistake where he thought the ball was bouncing from the previous free throw.

    he never touches the ball on offense and was surprised it was passed to him.

    Great job by PJ to down it at the one. Bob O'Brien would be proud.

    Well shucks... thanks David!

    Seeing MDA’s explanation, he kinda threw Gordon under the bus...but if it’s so offscript that a veteran like Tucker would like, see the walls melting over it maybe it really is on Gordon. Still, PJ heard that family feud “X” noise in his head so loud that he had to manually reset the WiFi mid-play.

    Sometimes a wrestler comes out of nowhere and screws with the promotions plan because his heat is too much to deny. Hopefully that's Harden this year.

    I heard somebody today say with as much as Harden hogs the ball, PJ hadn't seen a basketball in a while and was investigating before touching it. LOL.

    According to the Two Minute Report, Tucker was out of bounds with both feet when and made contact with the ball before the change of possesion. That should have stopped play and the basket shouldn't have counted. It would have been Knicks ball, but it wouldn't have been the easy bucket.

    I have watched the replay a few time but never noticed that.

    If the ball doesn't go 10 yards it's an illegal touch by the Knicks.

    I noticed that at the time the play happened, but I was so mesmerized by the whole ordeal that I forgot to even complain about it. I mean it was one thing that I had no idea what the **** PJ was doing, but the Knicks player also was confused so it made the whole sequence even stupider.

    Even Brad Miller wouldn’t have done that. Mind boggling.

    Great catch! Tucker was out of bounds when he touched the ball, before change of possession; Knicks get the ball out of bounds, no basket.
