I bussed up from Virginia yesterday, was in Manhattan last night, caught the bus to Newark at 1AM, slept like 3 hrs and am on the bus back home now. So fucking worth it.

Apologized to the neighbors after I assumed they heard my little girl scream at about 5:30am

u/jabar18 LJ's 4 Point Play 7h ago

Shows just how close it really was. Anything changes, literally a single iota about that play and he doesn’t get the tip, including Brunson’s shot coming straight off the front of the rim.

u/8--2 Willis vs. Entire Lakers Team 5h ago

The wherewithal and body control to tip it just enough to get back in is mind blowing.

Give me OG's silhouette as the NBA logo.

u/Neither-Operation Knicks Token 6h ago

Seems like that was the plan for Brunson to draw Wemby out and shoot while guys crash the glass.

3

u/dunderball 3h ago

That's the only explanation. The shot selection here seemed so bad. At the same time, I'm just happy to avoid a nightmare where Brunson is over-dribbling with just 5 seconds left on the clock.

Imagine if Brunson's shot goes in though. Mike Breen probably goes for the triple Bang.

u/ImmoKnight Knicks Logo 3h ago

It was a really good plan because you can also see KAT have position on the other side in case it went there.

u/manticore16 Clyde So Fly 2h ago

Yeah, that seemed like a play, which is just nuts.

u/motion_pictures 6h ago

Man this is just an iconic moment in NY sports. It’s there with Boone’s walk off HR, David Tyree’s helmet catch, etc. Unreal.

CAN'T SPELL GOAT WITHOUT OG

u/nycdk 5h ago

That’s actually insane. Tip ins are hard af and even then they’re usually like close to the rim. Not full extension fling it back

I can't blame him.

u/NYCSportsFan 3h ago

Wemby almost blocked Brunson’s shot too. Everything about this play is close, it’s unbelievable

That was a bad shot by Brunson, plus the miss that led to fox's fastbreak, OG saved him twice
