NFT: Knicks get jobbed in Houston.

Brunson’s on pace to score 80 points, so there’s that

this is the last we see of Taj for the season.

in three minutes without Brunson.

is the worst 2 man radio i have ever listened to, the one was just talking for a minute about nothing and then you here missed shot then she continues talking then missed shot...dont even know the score

This Taj/Toppin/Deuce/Hart/Burks lineup is reminiscent of the Lou Amundsen lineups from years past.

he is just absolutely brutal

than Mo Wagner

.

is there ever a pump fake he doesnt go for?

Magic shooting a cool 71 percent, but it’s mostly been a layup line.

Because the Knicks Center has no positional awareness, dude backs up so much on pick and rolls he ends up under the basket while the ball handler can just go right to the rim..

Why, considering all the injuries, thibs won’t go small and put Precious at the 5. The magic don’t have a crazy good center, why not put as many fast defenders and at least marginally capable offensive players on the floor with Brunson at one time. It makes no sense. You have to adapt to the personnel you have not the personnel you wish you had.

Where Sims doesnt understand positional defense and doesnt step to the driver, instead gives him a free lane to the rim

Burks was playing defense like he was still on the Pistons. Not surprisingly, he was the first player substituted for.

We need players back quickly

because sims cant protect the rim, take him the fuck out, dude is terrible..

I cant wait to get healthy and not have to watxh dumb basketball players like Sims and Mcbride

with this unwatchable dreck of a lineup.

Could be worse I guess.

send JB, Josh and Precious to the showers, and let the remaining 5 ride it out.

..

everyone would of signed up for that at the beginning of the year, get healthy and make a run at the 2 or 3 seed

..

Is Precious. He has gained so much confidence. When everyone is healthy he won't play that much, but now we know when needed we can go to him. Now that he has put this on tape, he may have upped his trade value too.

The way he’s playing I bet he gets minutes. He’s the best option as. Ask up to Randle nit to mention getting some time at Center if Mitchell comes back but limited.

have January

I think most of us realize that Adoree Jackson almost certainly played his last game as a Giant. Banks had a good rookie season and should continue as a starting corner. The question is who will replace Jackson. I don't think we have another player worthy of being promoted to that spot. So that leaves free agency and the draft. Many fans want to use our first round pick on a qb or a wr or a ot or an edge. But is corner a possibility, maybe after a trade down to get another pick?

.

no team in the NBA needed it more than we do.

options but there had to be a way to avoid having Taj and Toppin out there at the same time.

I would have been in there but I pulled a hammy walking into the arena to sign my 10 day contract before the game. Sorry about that

40 seconds left, 3 seconds on the shot clock, Mitchell and caruso are hand fighting, Mitchell pushes Caruso to clear space, caruso reaches out to stay with him, Mitchell pushea him again, whistle foul on Caruso...1 shot tech because the ball wasnt inbounded..

cavs go up 1 and dont look back after that

Easily a play on, especially in the context of where they are at in the game..

An interesting factoid he is from Miami dade, was a cop, Heat are 7-0 in games he officiates..Knicks have their worst PPG in games he officiates

Nice bonus for the Knicks heading into the break. Dame is looking old - trading a haul for him and pairing him with Brunson would’ve destroyed everything.

Just saw the ending. I keep hearing that the Bucks will figure it out by the playoffs. The opportunity is there for the 3 seed. Just need some health

Gallinari? lol. I highly doubt he’s going to move the needle much at this point

even Boston, it wont show during the regular season or in the 1st round of the playoffs but if they come across a team eith 2 wing defenders that can make Tatum and Brown work they will be in trouble..Their issue has been and will continue to be half court offense in thenplayoffs when the game slows down. They do not have a PG that can run the offense and get Tatum and Brown easy looks..

Cavs still dont have that elite defender on the wing who can stop guys like Tatum, Brown, Brunson, Maxxey, Haliburton. They also even with the addition of Strus and Niang they dont have the spacing throughout their starting lineup..

Bucks habe no elite defenders and Lillard is starting to look old, unless he is pacing himself, i wonder how he holds up when he has to go against a physical team that pushes him around..

Sixers need Embiid back and Maxxey is going to habe a lot of eyes on him in the playoffs, see how he handles it..

Pacers are young and play absolutely zero defense, i could see them being humbled quick in the playoffs by being pushed around, kind of like the cavs last year..

Orlando they play good defense but will it translate to the playoffs and who is going to be that 2nd scorer when Banchero is taken out of the game, they remind me of the Knicks when it was just Randle and role players..

of the HOU debacle game? I figured it would be ruled on by now

Maybe they decide the end of the game (ot) only gets played if it’s determined the outcome would have playoff implications

because Mikal Bridges was on the podcast with Hart and Brunson and they were talkong about zbridges having FOMO and talking about Knicks fans taking kver Brooklyn and Bridges didnt defend the Nets at all and basically said it was tough

haha. What's he supposed to say to defend the Nets and their fans?

"Oh, it was awesome how the other team took over our home court. That's what every player hopes for!"

I've always thought the Nets screwed up by calling themselves the Brooklyn Nets, instead of NY. They could still play in Brooklyn and call themselves NY. I think it would've been better for their marketing and probably would've helped lure some fair weather and younger fans, back when the Knicks sucked.

As NY Nets they would have the Dr. J era Nets history to market; as Brooklyn not so much. And why limit your fan base to one borough? Of course people outside the borough could still become fans, but I think it was more likely if they called themselves NY.

There's a reason Wellington insisted on the Giants always being called the NY Giants when they moved to NJ. To take it to an extreme, can you imagine if they called them the East Rutherford Giants?

Or what if the Mets were the Queens Mets? Bad decision.

I know the Bronx Bombers is a nickname, but can you imagine if their real name was the Bronx Yankees?

Excellent. Let that situation deteriorate till they dislike him enough and then bring Bridges across the bridge.

But I mean...why did we make that Detroit trade again? Haha

We'll do you like Jalen Brunson? Cause that trade helped free up the space to make an offer to him.

I know they're hobbling into the ASB, but the Bucks will forever scare me because of Giannis. He's so fucking good. And he's playing pissed off this season, as if he's determined to will Milwaukee into a championship.

Gun to head...Nuggets Bucks NBA Finals. Joker vs. the Greek Freak.

Meh. Unless Giannis finds a few guys who can actually guard someone of the dribble the Bucks are headed for an early playoff exit.
