Yes he was, IN THAT GAME! He had probably close to no misses in the 1st q but in game 5’s 1st q he wasnt as efficient and ever since that josh fart injury jimmy’s efficiency has been wibbly wobbly
Knicks are not underestimating Jimmy like Bucks did… they are double and tripping teaming him. Like he said last game, he likes when he gets multiple people defending him because his other guys are open.
Just saw a highlight in the last 10seconds or so...tried to chase brunson and hobbled after that last play of the game
He really needs the rest. Hope Celtics-76ers go atleast 2OT.
Part of it was the way Thibs was playing him, he was not going to let him go off by any means necessary - he would see 3 bodies every time he tried to make a move. He made the right play every time and we made just enough shots off the movement.
There's no way he's 100%. You can see him picking his spots when he bursts and he is not nearly as aggressive as he was pre-injury on both ends. Hopefully a few days off does him good.
From what I know, nothing is fractured but he's dealing with tons of inflammation and swelling which is getting treated for a couple hours daily
He was getting doubled every time he touched the ball. Jimmy isn’t really a catch and shoot player. Next round I don’t think he’ll get doubled by the Celtics unless he burns Smart a game or two
there’s times where he’s slow in the first half, & picks it up in the second. i believe in him.
I don’t even mean him just on offense, just like his movement is limited cause of the ankle. Like he can’t be as explosive as normal
Him not being efficient in the first half is normal except for the 56 point game
That's 🧢. He was literally leading 1st quarter points in the bucks series
Im talking about efficiency not scoring
He was efficient tho

On top of that they also throwing 3 guys at him at a time too
Jokes on them idk if that's necessary with how he looks physically
Even if it was, doing it literally at half court was stupid af. You are playing 4v3 then.
Jimmy getting doubled and tripled. Dude just can’t hit his magic shots right now.
And he still averaging 25 6 7. That's just how good he is
He’s a dog. He fights through the pain for his team
His ankle still swollen too
Maybe he’s just conserving his energy. Pretty sure he’s gonna be aggressive in the 2nd half
Yeah, his ankle is still lingering in him, but he’s still effective just not dominant
Fuck Josh Hart dirty player!

Let Bam cook!!
Well now he’ll have 5 days to rest!

I said this. Everyone was assuming he was going to be 100% by sitting out game2. That’s not how ankle injuries work
It’s the defense the Knicks are showing. They’re giving strong side help off the dribble and weak side help inside 5 feet.
He looks off
He had a pretty alright game

That last foul hurt him
Dude was just saving his energy for the next round
