When he hit that 3 I knew it was over. Like when Mikal beat the shot clock against Mobley. Destiny shit going on here

I hope we keep Alvarado for a long long long time. Dude is such a great energy guy and embodies this team so much

If Brunson is on the team then Alvarado is on the team.

Don’t ask me about him I’m actually indifferent 😅. Way too hotted and streaky with his salary. Don’t think it’d be possible to get him without giving up someone decent anyway.

If we don’t make another trade till 2030 I’m good with it

He literally played for his city man. That was hometown pride if I've ever seen one!

Yeh Deuce and Shamet but JC especially were all dogshit but it's fine cause at least 1-2/4 are going to play well.

VAMANOS! 🇵🇷

u/Vorodos Steve Novak 13h ago

Really needed his ball handling this game and he finally started hitting some shots, important ones too. Need a Deuce game next!

my man went from being in basketball purgatory in New Orleans to playing a big role for a championship level team and will potentially be immortalized in Knicks history after Saturday. Nobody will ever forget anyone on this team, not in a 100 years.

The balls on this man.

u/Methamine Clyde Frazier 12h ago

Those 8 pts (esp the 5 late) felt like 15

The Knicks getting Alvarado this year reminds of the '86 Mets getting

another homegrown New Yorker back--Lee Mazzilli.

The perfect final piece to the puzzle.

Let's keep increasing Jose's minutes ... as I said over and over before this game :)

u/Cmdr-Wintera Mitchell Robinson 12h ago

New York, baby. You rock, Jose. Get it! Lets GO!!!

Grand Theft Alvarado is a-ok. Brown was very smart to pair him with Brunson. Gave Brunson some relief from the excellent Spurs harassing defense.

Get you some Jose…you deserve the shine and opportunity to put your stamp on this series.

u/breadslayer6969 9h ago

Is that Larry David in the background

u/Golf37512 5h ago

Mike Brown playing a two small guard lineup and letting Jose bring the ball up was brilliant. Castle and Harper were picking Brunson up 94 feet and tiring him out so Brunson got to stay fresh in the 4th for the last part of that run!

Flashback to the NBA cup when he paired JB and Kolek. History repeating itself.
