Knicks fight their way into a stop here. Randle switches on to Tatum and it looks like the plan was to double but watch Payton/Barrett. Both realize Brown is open and go to him, both recover towards help. Payton ends up saying bleep it and just runs at Tatum. Bullock deflects.

Tough one for RJ Barrett here. Gets the handoff, looks to go 1v1 against Brown and loses the ball. Great push and finish from Jaylen Brown.

Redemption for RJ Barrett here. Knicks run a set for Randle. Cut Barrett/Payton to the right side to open the left hand drive up for Randle. Smart guarding Payton so he smartly just plants in the paint to help. Brown overplays the corner pass, great dime by Randle to Barrett.

That's big time to come right back and hit a 3 after that turnover.

Big shot from Marcus Smart. Tatum rolls, Randle is right there with good help. He ends up switching on to Tatum and doesn't deny. Bullock doubles off Smart, Tatum swings it right away and he hits it.

You know what, let's watch some Jazz/Suns.

Intrigued by how Deandre Ayton and Rudy Gobert look in this matchup. Ayton's going to have to be ready to go. Interested in seeing the lineups the Suns go with to try and slow Utah down.

First time these two teams have played since December 31st. Massive difference in both teams since then. Should be fun.

It doesn't even look right seeing KD doing the pre-game dap line on the bench side.

The plays Kyrie Irving can create man....sheesh.

Good defense from LaMarcus Aldridge here. Zion bringing it up, Adams screens for him. Aldridge in a drop, stays in position on the drive and gets the block.

You know what, let's watch some Blazers/Clippers

Very interested to see how the Blazers deal with Kawhi/PG and if they can put the lineups/move the ball to make the Clippers defense pay. Important they take a step in these games.

Norman Powell being able to guard Paul George is underrated for Portland.

You know what, let's watch some Heat/Grizzlies

I am prepared for a complete adventure in the 4th quarter.

For all the nitpicks I have of Ja Morant he *creates* so many plays out of nothing. Heat switch this double drag, Morant has Robinson and somehow gets this pass off.

You know what, let’s watch a little Jazz/Mavericks.

I think Utah has been elite this year. I think the book is out on Utah as far as what they want to do and how they want to do it. It hasn’t mattered much. I’m very interested in seeing what teams throw at them and how they respond.

Win or lose I won’t really be concerned with Utah until a team takes away their ability to generate quality looks. Most impressive part has been Utah finding ways to do what they do vs. drops, switches, etc.

You know what, let's watch some Nuggets/Magic.

Good spot for Wendell Carter Jr to continue to grow. Rolling harder in P&R in Orlando. Good job catching, seeing the help and getting the dunk. You can always tell how Denver's defense is going by their help. Also I don't know if you can point at the ref *and* curse them out.

Really good reads from Jamal Murray here, that Murray/Jokic two man game is tough. Sees Hampton anticipating the screen so tries to reject. Hampton keeps him in front but that little drive put him in better position to get screened. Murray comes off, sees the under and hits the 3
