NFT: Knicks at Raptors - Game Thread 7:30pm

Hart, Mitch and precious? What the fuck

but up 12 thanks to Deuce.

With Hartenstein and Mitch. It's a scary combination.
With everyone healthy Thibs might have to go 10 deep

he’s added muscle

Mmmm…muscle..? Weight definitely

I think he looks good for the first few minutes but definitely some mouth breathing

Brunson backs his guy into the paint and makes the basket from his weak side while being fouled.

Taking care of business so far.

at the end of the second quarter.

he didnt use that arm for 4 or 5 weeks, was in a sling for 2 weeks..Strength is definitley a part of it.. Scar tissue is another and when it breaks apart it is very painful.. You could tell he didnt trust the elbow fully

+1

That would be excellent

Nope, Precious at the five to close the half.

Wow.

Up 21.

now lock in defensively and end this early

as much of a cornball as Haliburton. Stop barking at the refs from the bench in your street clothes, down 25 points.

leave something to be desired but he's doing some things and ... he is a big dude. Doesn't hurt to have him back.

Block and a steal

being as bad as teams like the Pistons and Raptors.

hopefully he is starting to get comfortable

..

And Mitch looks great

Now let's push the Bucks for 2.

and Philly in tight one with the Clips.

Yep, looked better last game, though the competition is terrible. I think Bogey will secure that ninth spot in the playoff rotation with Deuce, Hart and Mitch off the bench.

The Knicks last rolled out ass lineups like this in an attempt to get Zion. The Raps sucking “might” net them some French guy no one has ever heard of.

Draymond ejection was hard to watch. I think he’s finally done with this dude’s nonsense.

home vs Philly than a 5 game west coast trip that includes Denver, both LA teams and the suns

He also had the worst alley-oop pass earlier tonight - a half court heave that almost get his teammate killed.

Curry needs to retire or move on, GS is done and can't run it back anymore.
Sad watching Curry going down like this

Diakite in.

rotation wise when OG and Randle come back..Thibs Didnt go back to the Precious/Mitch front court in the 2nd half, went with Bojan instead

.

That's a poster

..

44-28. Sixteen games over is the high water mark of the season. Deuce is a legit weapon from three - I think it’s going in every time he shoots it.

The Knicks are a legitimate NBA Championship contender. I think it’s pretty much the first time you can say that this century.

what an ascension

this Bench is absolutelt filthy when healthy, Deuce, Hart, Bojan, Mitch...Add in OG or Donte playing with the bench

i habe never seen a coach cry so much for calls

Everyone else lost and Pacers are down 20.

standings. Now, it's just OG and Julius still out.

Holy shit it never ends with him. For a rarity I think the officials did an excellent job in the final 10 seconds of that game. Both Oubre drives were good no calls. Neither was a foul.

Oubre drove to get bailed out, he was never going to get the call especially against George or Leonard...He had a wide open Harris in the corner, all hr had to do waa kick it, instead he made the selfish play

I officiated highschool for almost 20 years. Listen as an official there were certain tough calls where I expected to catch shit. There were times I know I probably blew it or didn't have the best angle and I knew it was coming my way. I drew the line at bitching on every call/no call all game. I hated guys like Nurse who never shut up all game. I mean at some point I was like just coach already and stop bitching about everything. I'm not even thrilled with the officials admitting in the pool interview after the game that after reviewing it George moved a bit to his left before jumping and it was a foul. He jumped straight up and his arms we were vertical. There would be no reason to blow the whistle there.

Always a pleasure to see!

Lumbering down the court dragging his leg behind him...
Glad to see him get some game minutes tho
He will not 100% for a while
OG is next I guess???

that Mitch was trying to do some things on offense. I think maybe the coaches have gotten in his ear about not only being a rebound and kick guy. If he can develop 1 or 2 little pet moves on offense so that defenders need to respect him more, he'll be a more versatile player in the future.

2 more.
