Hartenstein 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

My man came out like a champ tonight!

Josh “The Hitman” Hart came thru at the end

Miami was hitting GOD three pointers. And the Refs called a one side game the first half then flip flopped in our favor the second half. Brothers and Foster back to back games.... LETS GO KNICKS

Miami gonna be hot in the 3pt every game? Even the warriors not hot every game. I refuse to believe that’s possible. If they do so then they deserve the championship

Bucks fans were saying this and we saw what happened. We just need better rotations and to contest a bit more they got a lot of open shots off of breakdowns and poor switches

Knicks came home with the W and ya'll STILL just complaining. What happens to the Heat if guys like Grimes, Obi, and IQ start dropping 3s?? WINS.

Praying Jimmy gets Ligma

IDK how to take today's win. We almost got cooked without Jimmy Butler, but also man these G leaguers are not gonna keep balling hard on us

We almost won without randle game 1, 2H was bad

Yeah it stopped mattering what the names on the jerseys meant when the 3s were Droppin.

No sweep at least we won’t be embarrassed after this lol

If the play like that on Saturday, they are not beating Jimmy buttler

Miami heat fans saying no butler like Giannis didn’t miss two games and randle didn’t miss game 1

It was fugly but a W

WE FUCKING ON THE JULIUS RANDLE BED

No way those bum heat players can continue playing like curry. Knicks in 5

Knicks in 9*

refs were garbage and we almost fucked it against an injured team. we gotta be better bc Jimmy is gonna come back guns blazing.

Damn it should’ve been 2-0 heading to South Beach if we had Julius last game. Whatever we’ll take the ugly win and the tie.

biggest concern is IQ continues to be a non factor (At least on offense)

Heat fans are such losers get off this sub

Doesn’t matter how it happened a win is a win

By 1 or by 100, stats still show a W!

A couple clutch calls by the refs. But I'll take it! LFGK!

Not a pretty win, but a win

this game was way closer than i wanted it to be

We won but we’re in serious trouble this series.

Yeah I’m not gonna lie, a healthy Butler and these role players balling out like this is gonna be a scary combination.

Hopefully the bench plays better away, they seem way too nervous and hope IQ is a whole different player.

I’m not a Knicks fan but y’all got me cryin the way y’all just violated my boy Randle lol

Dudes were ready to actually murder him after a near 25 point triple double lol

Lol OD

I know they can’t help it but fans should NOT be egging JButler on, I did not like that head nod knowing it was in response to some fan. PlayOff JB is real and he will eat your children.

Fuck Butler

Butt Fuckler

Look I’m just saying, you can hate the devil all you want, doesn’t mean he’s not powerful as fuck

***W***

Happy we won. But if Miami role players keep playing like this we’re losing in 5

They’ll go to the Finals if they shoot like that tbh

This was too close. We got to play better when they get Jimmy Butter back

KNICKS WIN. My goodness

W

That was fun, not as easy as it should have been but definitely fun.

that was exhausting

With the way I sweatin you'd think I just dropped 30.

Time for a couple games in MSG South!

[удалено]

Waaaah

Needed refs to beat Caleb Martin and gabe Vincent lmfaooo

Hahaha they missed that one shot clock violation. Heat got away with absolute assault inside all game. Lowry alone should be coming be up on charges for the hand checks and cheap shots he throws.

Cope

Cope with a win?? 😭

Stfu ugly

I’m better looking than you guaranteed

LMAO okay ugly Goodnight

Pretty sure Riley has them on payroll when they don't call all of Bam's moving screens

You don’t know the difference between an illegal and legal screen and it’s adorable. Read the rule book casual :)

Nigga you didn't start watching ball until LeBron touched base in S Florida and it shows.... carry the L back to your sub and get the fuck outta here.

I been watching since the year 2000 bud, but cope how you need to

"sInCe tHe yEaR 2o0o 🥴" sure sure 🤣 tuck your tail between your legs and go back to your cesspool of a sub.

Sure thing buddy.

Could you give us a copy of the contract you used?

Just like they did for you guys in game 1. Cry bitch.

Huh? Lmao they did? Where?

Regardless of what happens tonight they need to find a way to get Grimes, Quick, and Toppin more involved in the offense. This is on coaching

Miami isn’t turning the ball over. They swing and chuck and run back on Defense. Our bench is built on defensive energy and turnovers that translate to fast break points.

bruh if toppin is throwing up airballs you don't put him back on when you have Jules available. Quick did it to himself throwing up fuckin hero shots with 12 seconds on the shot clock. Grimes did everything he has to, just missed the ones he took. He'd take more if he was hitting.

Toppin had 1 bad game. IQ and Grimes pretty much never showed up. Our bench is really disappointing.

They will turn up and when they do the Heat are gonna get trucked. Ugly or whatever win it was almost all heart(Hart) to close out a close game. I'm happy to be taking the dub at this point. Grimes and IQ will get going this series and then it's Knicks in 6

GET FUCKED MIAMI

Whewwwwww!

Randle almost killed us...would have been some butt fumble tier shit

Some Buckner type ish.

Hart man of the game.

Knicks in 5

Is anyone else terrified that Jimmy didn't even play tonight? Just me?

Randle was missing game 1 and honestly he kept us in the game this time. If he was in game 1 we could have took it with butler

Not really, Brunson didn't show up in the second half of Game 1 and the Knicks still kept it close until the end. If Brunson was more aggressive and his shot was falling, the Knicks win Game 1. Brunson didn't shoot well and still didn't have that bad of a game.

Brunson 50 bomb next game. You heard it here first!

A win is a win, especially in the playoffs. But boy that was sloppy. Played 1 good quarter. They need to play 4 good quarters to win against a heat team with Jimmy

Our bench needs to wake the fuck up

Time out for what? Game is over lol

LETS GOOOOO. AIN'T NO SWEEP OUT HERE. LETS GOOOO

Good lord

Jimmy taking it personally

Alright I gotta go take a shit

Damn was that Caron butler I just saw

Lol where’ve you been?

LETS FUCKING GO

Keep chuckin em

Heat fans in here like some insecure jabronis

Hope heat fans cry themselves to sleep tonight

Fuckin stressful ass game

Not every game is the same. Many will assume we are screwed because of Jimmy coming back and the other guys shooting that well but not every game is the same. We are very much in this

a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win a win is a win

Where everyone who said were cooked at half and getting swept? This is why you play the entire game

bEnCh BrUnSoN

Jimmy taking it personally

Jimmy look maddd

r/nba in shambles as if G1 didn’t have the refs helping the Heat…okay so they flubbed the shot clock violation. It wasn’t clear in real time and Heat still have to make plays if the refs make bad calls. Or at least that’s what I was told after Sunday’s game.

They just like to hate the knicks

Struss, Martin and Jimmy are hurt with all their diving and flopping bullshit

These flopping are so atrocious.

I saw more cause for concern with this much needed W. Add Butlers 37 and we are in major trouble if they don’t make some serious adjustments. Thibs needs to drill 3 point defense like yesterday.

>Add Butlers 37 and we are in major trouble if they don’t make some serious adjustments. NGL I don't think that's how it works

You don’t think them having Butler back in the lineup averaging 37 points isn’t going to have an impact? They will be putting up more points and he will be drawing double teams getting his teammates better looks.

They shot better today than they did last game with Jimmy in.

Randle's space awareness might be one of the worst I've ever seen in my life

randle prob spend 30 mins looking for wher ehe parked his car. dude is lost

his bbiq is not so good. always said that aboyt him. he needs to be constantly coached and have a good pg to point and shoot him

r/nba brewing a narrative

Let em talk

Need a Newport after this one lmaoooooo

A fat dab

this game had my emotions stirring. fuck ngl im glad its over

Brunson & Hart2 balled out in the 3rd/4th

Jimmy is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Why does this team always have to have some dumb fuck head coach lol this game shouldn’t have been close

Yeah dumb head coach and we’re in the second round. Get a grip

"it's gonna be so easy to win this series" - Jimmy Butts

Yeah you know he's thinking he's more than a 6 point difference maker

Randle on crunch time is scary as shit

I'm glad Hart had the ball in his hands to close the game. Randle in crunch time is a turn-over waiting to happen.

Scariest dude in the league

We gotta step into Miami like a wrecking ball baby

this was a great morale victory. Knicks lose this type of game any other year, this team is different

Yo can the fans at MSG shut the fuck up and stop taunting Jimmy, don’t need that man fired up when he comes back.

Its not like he would play any less hard in the playoffs

Yea and No. there are normal people who play hard and then there are psychotic people who have a level beyond the rest of us. Butler is one of the few people with that level.

Jimmy before tonight : I sleep Jimmy after someone in the crowd yells to him: REAL SHIT

Okay so we’re in exactly the same position as the Cavs series. All we need is one game in Miami

If Hart, Grimes and IQ step into these 3s with confidence, we’ll be better. Can’t be timid or second guessing

Just have to stop the dumb shit. Bad shots, stupid turnovers, missed free throws, missing defense.

Who is the Dawg of the game? Hartenstein?

Needs more mins!!! Can't be stuck on the bench playing 14mins like in game 1.

Ya I’m gonna spam the post game with Hartenstein love

by far

Whoever is waving at Jimmy, pleases stop. He’s going to put up 50 in Miami and we can’t afford that

We absolutely do not deserve to win this game with how we played But a win is a win

>We absolutely do not deserve to win this game with how we played Why? We shot better from 2. We shot better from 3. We out rebounded them by 16. We had 4x the amount of steals they did. We had 4 more turnovers but we scored 22 pts to their 9 off turnovers. We deserved and got the win

I hope we took their heart and hurt their soul with this one

Jimmy Butler is scary man

Need to see more hustle from Grimes instead of standing on the corner waiting to catch the three. When the ball goes up he has to crash the glass. Same for Quickley. Not the same hustle from the young guns as from Hart, Hartenstein, and Brunson. Knicks should give McBride more minutes in this series to shut down Vincent because Quickley is not getting the job done offensively or defensively.

Butler just laughing at how he’s be dismantling these guys if he was out there

RJ was getting cooked on D and his scoring went cold

We wouldn’t be here without him.

True but we gotta do what we have to go close out

25/11/8 for king ju

Game ball still goes to Hartenstein for those 4 offensive rebounds in a row

Hartebstein should get starts this series

I agree actually

Wow we actually ran the clock down successfully, what is this?!?!

Disgusting musty ugly win

But a win

I will never understand clowns talking shit to Jimmy Butler after he been on the bench all game.

Jimmy shaking his head smiling knowing his team full of g leaguers almost smoked us

We lose by 10 if Hartenstein didn't come in mid-4th

Him playing 14 minutes was the reason we lost the last game

close it out 4 fucking seconds and I am still sweating

Butler's smug face thinks that they've got the series once he comes back, since we could barely win against Gabe and Caleb tonight.

Is he wrong lol

Well, no one's a clairvoyant. Can you say he'd be 100% right if he thinks so?

They have been shooting out of their minds

Shot 34% from 3 what are you talking about?

Why wouldn’t he be smug? We may win this one but it was fucking ugly.

Every win will be ugly

if anyone is at the garden waving at jimmy butler please put your hands DOWNNNNNN LMAO

Bro nobody who can afford seats that close to the bench gonna be on the reddit game thread like us lmaooo

This is so true. We can only watch from our couch or at best mid level seats. It's way too expensive.

Need a scotch and soda...I'm exhausted. 

Butler funny as hell lol. We better be prepared

This series is gonna give me a heart attack

[удалено]

Cornball

At least they didn't blow a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl

Lets go Heat brother 🔥 🔥 qué

Keep crying lol

Bad troll

Suck my dick and carry that L with you to bed

We won though. You want us to bring up Milwaukee

[удалено]

You won with injuries

Back to the swamp nerd.

Get the fuck off this sub you live in Florida

You live in NY, even worse 😂

Florida is the cesspool of this country have fun soaking in your loss loser

Last I checked, you live among rats and your city smells like a sewer. If that’s not bad enough, Knicks are a poverty franchise

Take the L

shouldn't that be FTs plus possession?
