Didn't watch much of the game saw midday didn't really turn ball over much, did he force shots? Was he attacking?
Hardaway has been playing really well lately..
If Knicks could somehow get ayton dear Lord would they have a young front court that no one would want to play
It shocks me that Troy Williams coming off an 18 Point game on Friday barely sees the court today. Especially with Lance and Kanter out
I hope the first move this team makes in off season is to fire Hornacheck
Yes - many teams to leapfrog, but I'm "confident" none of them will play as badly down the stretch as the Knicks. Of course that still may not be enough - but this group? Pure garbage.

Knicks will lose enough to get into top 5 lottery
Hornacek has really done nothing to warrant a return next season. Yes - the talent is bad, but the sporadic use of Williams and Burke makes zero sense. Took him forever to figure out the team was bad, but still thought Jack was a better choice than seeing 2 lottery picks.
RE: missed the game - was a reason given why Kornet Â
Unfortunately, all progress will be lost this week. Not getting my hopes up for a top 5 pick yet. Hope I’m wrong but beating Dallas and Chicago this week would put an end to top 5 hopes.
Just hope Mikal Bridges slows down in the tournament because there’s no way he lasts past 6-7 if he keeps playing this way.

it does seem like most of our games lately have been against teams that we have no shot at beating. That changes this week. Maybe Dirk gets motivated for what might his last night at MSG? I realize I'm reaching....
I can't get mad if they beat the Bulls since the Bulls have done so much to help our draft position this year already. But I'm terrified of our back-to-back against the Cavs to end the season. I'm assuming they're going to be resting everyone.
Shai Gilgeous Alexander is another player thats heating up. Up to 40% from 3 on the season (not many attempts but shooting 80% from the line as well). Past 7 games he's averaging 18.4 ppg, 7 apg and 5 rpg. 6'6" PG with 7' wingspan. I know he's a little redundant with Frank but he seems more polished overall, he can guard 3 positions in the NBA and is a little more shiftier with the ball and better footwork as well.
but Sexton worries me because he is not an elite playmaker combined with not being a good 3 point shooter. He might end up being really good at his strengths but those two flaws pretty much handicap a PG from getting into elite territory.
From what I've read, I'm souring on Bamba because he is allegedly a pretty stiff player. Gonna watch more of him but from just the type of player he is he might be a 20-25 mpg player in the modern NBA.
just curious as to why you don't want those 3 guys.
Thinking about guys that fit well next to Frank and KP as well as guys whose games translate well. Sexton seems like a run of the mill ball dominant scorer, Bamba has a ton of red flags, and Bagley seems better for a different era.
None of those guys are bad per say, but for a top 10 pick, I think we can do better. I really like Mikal Bridges if we stay in the 7/8 range.

From what I've heard about Bagley it seems like the sentiment is that he would thrive next to a frontcourt mate like KP. He can switch on defense, hang on the perimeter, rebound and some hope for spacing with his 3 point shooting. It seems like his main issue on defense is rim protection, which would be KP's role anyways. Am I wrong in thinking he's the ideal big to put next to KP?

I just get worried when I see bigs these days that can't protect the rim or shoot 3s. How many all stars are there that can't do that these days? Especially if you don't think he's a center.
Bamba seems below average in a lot of thing.s Strength mainly. Bagley seems to not have a position. Is he a 5? Or a 4 who cant defend? Sexton would need the right system.
I think Duval is overrated and I think Trent is underrated. ANd if I had the first pick, I would take Ayton then Donacic. However, I think Miles Bridges will explode in the NBA.
It seems like defense, lateral quickness and explosiveness are repeatedly mentioned as strengths of his game.
Issue with bigs that can't defend or space the floor are that they aren't good at switching-it looks like if Bagley doesn't now, he at least has the physical tools of being a capable switch defender and some shooting touch too.
KP and Bagley would occupy different spots at different ends of the floor so even if Bagley doesn't give you floor spacing, KP still does. Bagley would fit into the role Julius Randle has been thriving in for LA.

Atlanta losing is good. Brings Knicks closer to them in loss column
Bulls will definitely have a better record than Knicks
Bulls beat Atlanta

Kanter and Lance were DNP for injuries

Guys I don't want:
Bamba, Bagley, Sexton

If Knicks get top 3, ayton, doncic,or porter..
Want nothing to do with either young or sexton
