R.J. Barrett was just sensational in the first half.

Didn't quite have the second half that they were hoping for.

As the Knicks just did not have enough.

No Julius Randall and just too much, Trey Young, Bogdan Boganovich, and the Atlanta Hawks.

As they closed on a 21 to 10 run and get a six point win here in New York.

All right.

Not the result that, not the result that I think most people want it tonight,

even if you are fully embracing the tank.

And God knows, I'm not going to blame anyone for that at this point um you wanted you wanted this one tonight um what a ridiculous but

i'm sorry i have to start out with this.

What an absolutely ridiculous tweet from Mark Berman just now,

who hadn't tweeted the entire game.

Nick's got absolutely nothing from R.J. Barrett down the stretch

during a late collapse versus the Hawks, 117 to 111.

He did roar down the lane on Gardner for last second thunk.

These are the games that Nick's brass must evaluate when deciding on this Barrett contract

extension this October.

That is an absolute ass clown tweet from Mark Berman.

RJ Barrett did not give anything down the stretch of this one.

That's because RJ Barrett's a 21-year-old kid.

Learning had to be the first option on an NBA team. He still finished this game with 30 points,

13 rebounds, had an absolutely fantastic first half of this game. Three-point shot wasn't there
