NFT: Hornets-Knicks @ MSG, 1 PM tip.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/15/2021 12:51 pm
We're still seeded 6th, tied with Miami (who have head to head over us) & .5 back of ATL. Miami in Milwaukee tonight, in Motown tomorrow vs. Pistons. The Hawks host the mighty Rockets tomorrow.

Elfrid starting, Haha.

Go Knicks!

OT was much better because Randle was looking to

Facilitate instead of forcing things when the double team was coming. This team plays at another level when they are moving the ball

Makes no sense when he is one of the best 4th quarter players on the team. Sometimes i really have no idea what Thibs is doing



who did you want him in over? he was terrible today..if anything Rose should if been in instead of quickley, but i think Thibs wasnt going to play him a ton kf minutes tonight..

Rj will most likely not be closing games in the playoffs unless he is playing really well


1st of all he wasn't terrible today. He was fine .

Second, how many times this season have we seen RJ quiet then all of a sudden just take over the game in the 2nd half or 4th quarter ? Hell, he did it last game where he exploded in the 2nd half against the Spurs.

I thought he should have come in for Quickley with 6 minutes left because Quickley wasn't doing anything and looked tentative out there

and thats fine he has turned it on, but today wasnt his day to close..

If anything Rose would of been in the game not Quick, then are you taking Rose out?

& it begins: Elfrid logged just 12 minutes. He's going to be an apparition after tomorrow.
The seeding likely comes down to Heat-Bucks tonight  
dpinzow : 5/15/2021 3:44 pm : link
The Knicks play the Celtics tomorrow and Boston will rest everyone

The Hawks play the Rockets tomorrow, which is a likely win for ATL

The Heat play the Pistons tomorrow, which is a likely win for Miami
If i ahd to guess  
nygiants16 : 5/15/2021 3:45 pm : link
closing lineups in the playoffs will be Rose, Burks, Bullock, Randle and Noel or Gibson..

Rj will close if he is having a great game but i dont see him closing a lot
I understand why Rose was rested  
dpinzow : 5/15/2021 3:45 pm : link
The Knicks have a back to back and they have to ensure that Rose can play more minutes tomorrow, when they could be playing for the 4th seed if the Bucks beat the Heat tonight. Plus Rose has played a lot of minutes of late and he's injury prone

I'm really really curious  
Giantfan21 : 5/15/2021 3:52 pm : link
how the Bucks approach the game tonight. In all likelihood, if they win they will end up playing the heat in the 1st round. Are they going to go all out knowing that or are they going to take it easy and choose to play the Knicks instead ?

Bucks could win the next 2 and Brooklyn would need to lose against the Cavs to end up in a tie.
I don't know who owns the tie breaker.
Not sure if that's worth the effort for the Bucks.
It's a longer break because of the play in games.
So everyone will get rest.

Bucks own the Tiebreaker but i really doubt the Nets lose to the Cavs tomorrow .

So not just from an effort perspective , but also from a matchup perspective they can decide who to play in the 1st round how they approach the game tonight

40+ wins with this group in a 72-game season  
bceagle05 : 5/15/2021 6:05 pm : link
is an incredible accomplishment. I don’t care if they get swept by the Bucks with a point differential of 100. This season has been a gift.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/15/2021 6:15 pm : link
bc, never in my wildest dreams did I see 40 wins. Never. But that's what happens when you get competent coaching, a breakthrough season from Randle, & improvement all around, along with some savvy moves like signing Rose.

Yeah, I get it. I just find that really endearing. Total opposite from a company sycophant like Michael Kay.

I agree and disagree. I agree that Bremen is a billion times better than Kay. But people keep saying that Kay is a company sycophant but it’s actually the opposite, and it’s annoying as fuck. Kay admits to not even being a Yankee fan anymore because he thinks it would affect his job. His entire schtick is that he prides himself on being “impartial”. He’s absolutely obsessed with it. He is so obsessed with it that it actually affects his calling a game the opposite way. And again, it’s annoying as fuck. I don’t want a homer cheerleader as the play by play guy, but it sure would be nice to have a voice that is actually cheering for the team. Kay doesn’t realize he’s the play by play guy for the YANKEES and confuses this with being a Nationally televised broadcaster. Him trying to be impartial during games leads him to being unintentionally biased for the opponent because he’s so worried about Phil Mushnick saying bad things about his homerism.

Put on the MKS, he kills the team all the time. He’s not a shill for the organization. He just sucks at his job and is overly sensitive to criticism.
Breen

Not Bremen, obviously. What a weird auto correct, lol
The Payton usage is hilarious  
Anakim : 5/15/2021 10:15 pm : link
He'll start the game and start the third and then will never be heard from again. I guess he can put "New York Kicks Starting PG" on his resume.



Meanwhile, they can't have Burks playing the point. Is Vildoza on the roster? Can we play him tomorrow just to get a glimpse?

Hey Shock, good to see you again.

That's really interesting what you say about Kay claiming to not be a Yankees fan anymore. What a weird thing for a "fan" to claim. Not sure I understand that.

I've listened to TMKS more recently and he routinely defends the team when callers criticize. Not sure I see him as anything other than a company man, but I'll keep an open mind based on your comments.
