until some changes are made. But glad to see they won tonight.

I watched the 2nd half but whereas the last 5 seconds would usually get me irate, I've reached the point with this team where my son and I can joke at just how inept they are. In fact he was popping in and out throughout the 4th and one time when the Knicks were up 8 he was like "so basically we're down 2".

ha ha, same. Was watching with two of my kids and I said out loud "RJ is gonna do something stupid here" right before he threw the ball away to Bam. All you can do is laugh at this point.
Nice game...

IHart really played a pretty nice game down the stretch.

I really appreciated Randle's postgame interview. Some real personal insight and growth on his part. Hopefully he can maintain this perspective for the rest of his career.
Great job by Randle reinventing himself and being accountable.

Now trade him while his value is at its highest!!!!

he's gonna stick around a few more years, which leads me to believe those 2027/2029 draft picks will be going out the door for Zach Lavine. He went to UCLA will probably push for a homecoming.

Saying Toronto might be looking for young player vs. picks.
Like Quickley, Grimes, Toppin types for OG.
If true, Memphis and New Orleans  
bceagle05 : 2/3/2023 11:28 am : link
probably have a leg up on the OG sweepstakes, as rumored. Both have good depth of young talent.
OG to the Nuggets

would be fun. Right now their big weakness is defense but KCP/OG/Gordon around Jokic/Murray is about as good as you could hope for defensively. If Jokic can't lead a good defense in the playoffs with that squad, it won't matter how utterly amazing an offensive player he is because he'll never win it all.

I'm glad Mitchell got in Brooks' face, that Memphis team and Brooks in particular is extremely unlikeable. Mitchell actually throwing him down was nice to see.

The Clippers desperately need a PG. Kawhi and PG just aren't capable of playing that role.
The Strickland implying that the Knicks are going to acquire Mo Bamba

have to be another move involving Hart right? Or I guess Sims could be part of any deal?

They couod be sending sims out somewhere or Mitch?? i doubt Mitch but thats a possibility..
Mo Bamba is getting better, it seems.  
Heisenberg : 2/3/2023 12:19 pm : link
We would have a lot of centers though.
I wonder if Toronto wants Mitch  
nygiants16 : 2/3/2023 12:26 pm : link
in an OG trade or maybe Knicks working on something else involving a center..

Why do RJ and Brunson not fit together?  
Vanzetti : 2/3/2023 12:44 pm : link
Team plays worse when they are on the floor together. I think a lot of people thought it was just RJ, but last night Brunson is out, the offense runs through RJ and Knicks basically play like they always play.

Is it because they are both subpar defenders? Could be part of it but I think it is more fundamental than that.

Its not that Brunson and Rj dont fit, its that Rj, Brunson and Randle is clunky because of their style of play..

Rj doesnt really have a catch and shoot game and from your 3rd option you need that, when all 3 are effecient it looks good but hard to get 3 guys effecient

He only plays 16 minutes per game on one of the worst teams in the NBA and he is almost 25 years old.

I wouldn't give up a lot of him. Hart and maybe two picks
We have been linked to Mo Bamba
