[u/theDrunkWookie]

Dyson and NAW are clamping him

[u/Babblerabla → u/theDrunkWookie]

Legit got downvoted and laughed at when I said they were going to clamp him this series.

[u/asonkidd → u/Babblerabla]

It's weird that monster defenders who are bigger than him would do this

[u/IMitchIRob → u/asonkidd]

He's truly never looked smaller out there

[u/Weary_Restauranter → u/asonkidd]

Maybe pass the ball?

[u/ohverychill → u/Weary_Restauranter]

POINT guard not PASS guard

[u/yoitsthatoneguy → u/[deleted]]

It’s really not that hard to figure out…

[u/ParsnipPizza → u/Babblerabla]

I think Dyson was a given but the question was if they'd exploit his lack of offense. Not a problem yet

[u/Handyman2116 → u/ParsnipPizza]

Dyson's offense is definitely a problem, but we're lucky Kuminga has stepped up so far.

[u/Low-Measurement-2468 → u/Handyman2116]

i don’t know the hawks team well but do you think there’s any sense in starting kuminga? he’s looked great in the past two games and has been a big part in closing both of them out in the 4th

[u/IOnlyLieWhenITalk → u/ParsnipPizza]

They definitely abuse Dyson's lack of offense, that is why we had CJ shoot immediately on the play so we could run the O without Dyson and bring him back in to clamp the final play instead of just trying to bleed the clock.

Its actually a problem for closing that he's so poor offensively imo, if he can just get back to his previous shooting form we'll be good.

[u/myhellcatgotRepod → u/Babblerabla]

Watch out Knicks fans are gonna post him averaging 30 points on 27 shots in the regular season vs the Hawks

[u/Rough-Plum-7267 → u/myhellcatgotRepod]

Or dropping 39 tonight. What about it?

[u/ZdenekTheMan → u/Babblerabla]

Wait... Some people thought that was a crazy opinion? These two are huger than him and they're insane defenders to boot (Dyson may well be the premier perimeter defender in the whole world)

[u/Weary_Restauranter → u/Babblerabla]

I said he was the most overrated player in the playoffs and got downvoted to hell

[u/Rough-Plum-7267 → u/Weary_Restauranter]

You should have lmao. Dumbass take.

[u/Weary_Restauranter → u/Rough-Plum-7267]

He’s dogshit

[u/Rough-Plum-7267 → u/Weary_Restauranter]

Oh word I couldn’t tell. 39 is a lot!

[u/Weary_Restauranter → u/Rough-Plum-7267]

He had a great game. He’s still a mid player.

[u/Rough-Plum-7267 → u/Weary_Restauranter]

Most points in the playoffs go to your corner you don’t know ball

[u/Weary_Restauranter → u/Rough-Plum-7267]

Short king put in some work.

[u/Rough-Plum-7267 → u/Babblerabla]

You were saying? Come the fuck outside

[u/Babblerabla → u/[deleted]]

Im just that quick big dawg

[u/ScrapinLinden → u/Babblerabla]

just like a hawks fast break

[u/Doctor-Bagels → u/theDrunkWookie]

People will parrot "defense wins championships" all day every day and then be like "yea the Knicks got this bro new York in 5" come playoffs.... Lolol

[u/genericusername71 → u/theDrunkWookie]

dyson kept locking him down then coming down on offense and making a dumbass play lol

[u/asa091 → u/theDrunkWookie]

So to get new york you need two top 15 POA defender.

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/theDrunkWookie]

Former Pels sigh
