Teams could easily fix this and prevent the resell to away team, but they don't

George and Harden with 32 and 31. My dream for G5 with Paolo and Franz

how exactly would do you think this would work?

Josh Hart with a G-Harris-like zombie effort on offense for the Knicks. Oh for seven shooting and his 4 points came on a four for eight from the charity stripe.

But he did have one of the greatest ever rebounding games by a wing in the NBA playoffs: EVER.

17 rebounds from the perimeter. Is this a video game? He also had 5 assists and 3 blocks.

There are no real ways to outright stop it, but there are ways the team could attempt to limit it.

Teams could restricting mobile ticket transfer until 24 hours before game, or even sooner. 8 hours? 3 hours?

Teams could rescind a person's season tickets or not allow them to purchase tickets in the future if they're caught selling their season tickets on the secondary market.

At the end of the day if somebody wants to pay 4 or 5x face value to attend a game, there's not really anything that's going to stop them.

I'd be curious to see how many season ticket owners there are vs tickets that are for sale to the general public anyway. And it's not like just because you live in Philly, you are a Sixers fan. We probably have hundreds of thousands of Knicks fans in Orlando alone.

I love that guy and Divencenzo...winners do winner things...you're in good shape if those are your bench guys.

I feel like we'd crush Indy in a playoff environment. Do not think they could handle the Magic intensity.

one of those guys would be a full-time starter if Randle wasn't injured... as is, they're both starters. The huge thing is that they're on reasonable longterm contracts. Hart making $18 mil and DiVincenzo making $11 mil.

100%

Pacers were gifted a gimpy Bucks team. I expect the Knicks to take care of them next round pretty handedly

The Knicks halfcourt offense honestly has been pretty lousy through 4 games, but they are just DESTROYING the Sixers on the offensive glass and that's been the difference.

New York is shooting just 43.0% for the series so far. That would have ranked dead last in the NBA.

But they have racked up 61 offensive rebounds in 4 games. 15.3 OREB per game would have ranked 1st in the NBA by a mile during the regular season (1st was... you guessed it... the Knicks at 12.7).

I saw on Twitter....the result of this Minny/Phoenix game is the deciding factor of our game time on Tuesday.

If Wolves win, we play at 8pm on Tuesday.

If Suns win, we play at 6:30 pm on Tuesday.

Im rooting for a Wolves win because a game at 6:30 sounds crazy.

What happened to Grayson? He wasnt playing last time i checked as well

But now Im thinking a 6:30 tip could mean a late arriving crowd. The game is on NBATV regardless, maybe a suns win will be beneficial

Anthony Edwards is good.

Bradley Beal is not.
