    The only thing good about that play is he ran off the whole clock.

    Yeah. This is why star players get the big money. Would have been nice to get some other action going before going straight into the ISO.

    Why didn't we call a timeout?

    That would have been a great time to run a sold P n R since Knicks were expecting Harden ISO

    But then this team and coaches don't think on their feet

    I'm not mad about THAT ISO. Honestly that's our best option in that situation. Harden with a semi open look from 17ft with 2 seconds left, I can live with that.

    OT is the only way Harden could increase his stats...

    The Knicks can't continue to shoot so well.

    No problem with Harden taking that last shot....but we have got to get better movement - Dwight clogs the lane too much.....that is why he and Harden are struggling.

    JB learned from McHale.

    McHale logic says that Ariza is a good defender. I think they don't really care about size or that Porzingis can just turn around and shoot over him but oh well.

    When you are tie you let your best player go one one one and leave no time on the clock, you don't want Turn over.

    That's basketball 101 guys.

    As a coach, I would have given that last possession to Thornton.

    Yeah, gotta fix the endgame offense. Too much isos--bad habits from McHale's tenure.

    That's the right shot when he's on, but not when you have been 9-24 throughout the game. He should have driven.

    Harden loves overtime. I predict he smokes the Knicks.
