But IHart is such a better player. He's a must keep this summer. His versatility and ability to pass off the move is so valuable. I'd be fine keeping both and having them split games.

Thats the thing you have to guard Ihart on the perimiter because you cant just give him free vision and he is so good at the DHO it gives the Knicms wide open 3s..
and so does Thibs, but if there was ever a game to do it, it’s Thursday in Denver. Sit iHart, limit Deuce, Hart and Brunson. Hell, let Bogey and Burks launch shots all night and maybe a few will actually go in.

Agreed, Knicks did what they had to do, they got 3 wins this road trip, let guys rest go with the g league Knicks

I agree. I hope he continues to start even when Robinson is 100% and ramped up. Apparently, Robinson agrees and says he should come off the bench.
Absolutely awesome victory, huge 3 wins on the road with a nice steetch of winnable home games coming after the Denver game thursday..
What can you say about Deuce? just an absolute dog..
Team defense aside (thx notably to OG, Deuce, Ihart, Hart and Devo) my favorite individual story this season is Deuce. Dare I say he's giving us (nearly) everything IQ gave us offensively and his defense is stellar. So happy we developed another backcourt player and is offense is getting better. No reason to think he can't be IQ good.
glad to see everyone else does. She's great. Honestly, MSG network can basically do no wrong in my view. Rangers and Knicks. I have always loved MSG's coverage dating back to the 80s. Love the pre and post games and in game coverage. They do a great job. Even Bill Pidto, just maybe keep him away from calling the games, lol. But he tries... I wouldn't have the heart to tell him he sucks. HE's one of our own.
I don't like when the Knicks play on other networks. At least in the postseason MSG will carry the pre and post games coverage but I hate when they aren't on MSG.
staff are looking to win games. The east is too tight and if you give games away and you are looking at the play in and one or 2 loses and you are going home.
of discomfort. I was surprised he played against Kings. He will miss Denver and maybe Nets game hopefully Knicks at least split those games then he will make a return hopefully with Mitch and Randle not too far behind them. They will have 5 to 7 games at full strength then when they settle into a slot they will rest the starters and have that time plus hopefully they are not in play in those 5 games to rest maybe 2 1/2 weeks before playoffs. This will be best case scenario and hopefully the knicks are in 3 or 6 spot to avoid Boston until ECF.
I'm not sure how the Knicks get to 3 but 6 is much better than 4 or 5.
Can the Knicks go 10 -4 and the Cavs 8-6 looking at the schedule it is most possible. The one thing is Orlando if they past Knicks with there 6 home games coming up but the teams are tougher then the Hornets Raptors and Nets.
If Obi's brother can maybe get stronger and work on that 3 pointer he
But damn that was a bad stretch
You don't want Precious to play, you don't want Sims to play, and IHart can't play (much) because of his Achilles.
Bogdo at the 5?

I miss typed, no reason for him NOT to be brought back

Mitch you can sag off

Had only scored as many as 20 points on two previous occasions (20 and 21) and both were in losses.
Tonight was a different kettle of fish.

I agree, but we know Thibs' attitude.
bench whatever two way g leaguers the Knicks have
She's great. I know she does a lot of national stuff now, I hope she sticks with us the way Breen does.
Star in the making. She could replace Doris Burke right now and be a huge upgrade for Finals games.

as Monica McNutt does.

Yeah she does a good job. She knows the game and you have to love it when these announcers don't take themselves too seriously and have fun with it.
Huge play!!!
He's taking a beating. I would punt this game against Denver. Give Brunson, Hart and whoever else much needed time on the bench resting.

He was so fast closing back on the break. Like weirdly fast.

to foul Wiggins and prevent a fast break dunk? Then he misses both free throws. Huge sequence. Fun to have a team we can be proud of again.

This was him sprinting back on defense after playing 44 minutes already. No wonder Thibs and Knicks fans love Deuce.
And
"Three people I spoke to who are familiar with the situation expressed confidence that Randle would ultimately return to the court."
Also Brian Windhorst said on NBA Today that Mitch should be back before the end of the month.
It's small news but better than the silence.

Yeah let OG rest til Saturday, he gets a full week, let the inflammation go conpletely down and get some strength in the elbow..
Wouldnt be shocked if Mitch returns before Randle, they are going to wait until last possible moment with Randle

Cavs dont have Mitchell or Mobely]
