For this game’s particular intro, you get the NBA on NBC logo swiveling onto a live look as the NBA Playoffs logo was being animated on. But you see a black screen as that was going on here; perhaps the production truck messed up and didn’t put the live camera in the sequence? Nope! The matchup graphic is actually a live shot of Times Square! NBC handled the NBA with love and care; here’s hoping they can do the same in their future NBA TV contract.

@rodneybenbow17872 ай бұрын
Absolutely right! The Knicks made the mistake of relying on their home court to win this series. Having the home court advantage is good, but you have to know how to win games on the road in critical situations. The Bulls knew how to do that. Once you lose a game at home and you have the home court advantage, you have to win on the road to keep your season alive.

The game should have never been put in Smith's hands to begin with. Also, the Knicks were gifted 35 free throws and missed 14 of them. You can't throw away points when the game is that close.

Players are able to put on more of a dribble dribble dribble show in todays game because the defense is so laxed. Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA, said that the defense was limited in order for offensive players to show more of their skills. The skills you see today wouldn't survive in that era due to the was defense was allowed to be played. Players arm barring you, manuevering your movement with hip check defense. Constantly up in you wouldn't even allow for dribble dribble dribble aka James Harden as an example without the risk of getting it stolen from you. This is why so many players today are made fun of as dribblers. Dribble dribble dribble look at my dribbling offensive skills! Giannis, Lebron, Joker, as examples of players lacking the footwork to be called "skilled" players. Jordan had way more skills than Lebron. So did Kobe. Lebron is limited in skills but yet he's still dominating at 40 these so called "skilled" dribblers.

Ewing actually made a heck of a pass considering he was losing the ball, and then Smith goes and ruins it with those hilariously weak scoring attempts. I remember watching that live and everyone was laughing at not only how pathetic those scoring attempts were, but the eternal distraught look he had, when he had no one to blame but himself. No way the ref is calling a foul there like he thinks they should have. Refs will not give you that with the game on the line. You gotta earn it.
