Worst one-sided officiating I’ve seen all season.
Knicks score 58 in the paint yet take 12 free throws.
Rockets take 33 free throws.
Wally and Hahn going off post-game.
Thibs the most livid I’ve seen him. Rick Brunson pissed.
Phantom bullshit call on Brunson on a 35-foot chuck with .3 left.
Just an unreal screw job tonight.
9 days of rest after tonight, much needed
Regardless, I don't know why Taj is still in the NBA and IDK why we have to continue playing shorthanded. Sign some guys to 10-day deals.
Of course these things depend on what you give up, but I’d gamble that if they could have him healthy for a run at the title Embid would give them a solid shot at winning a championship.

There are two reasons. With the CBA the Knicks don't have the minimum amount of players. There's a 14 day grace period to get to 14. They should sign 2 stiffs by 2/22 to get to the number possibly 3 and be done with Taj. The other issue is they are being frugal so they don't cross the second apron. If the player isn't a rookie or considered a rookie they have to pay more actually the very minimum is double.
Actually a third issue is no very wants to come to the Knicks because they won't get minutes. They can go to other contenders and get minutes

I'm saying this as a Uconn fan - I think Bouknight is one of the worst Knicks culture fits I can imagine. Tons of talent but Thibs would choke him like Bobby Knight within a week. Don't know much about Hayes aside from the fact that I don't think he's really good at much of anything.

I mean would it be the worst thing to sign Killian Hayes or James Bouknight?

Fair points, Larry, but they would definitely get minutes here...at least for the time being before everyone gets healthy.
Not only that but the Knicks need help in the frontcourt for now and there aren't many (if any) good vets available who could contribute to begin with.
Yeah, but it's a 10-day contract. Maybe one of those players can impress. In the meantime, our lineup may look similar to what it looked like last week if Bojan and DDV don't play:
Jalen Brunson
Alec Burks
Josh Hart
Precious Achiuwa
Jericho Sims
Deuce McBride
Taj Gibson
The two two-way players
- Eastern Conference exec on Donovan Mitchell
- Eastern Conference exec on Donovan Mitchell
They've been really good this year, especially as of late but they're in such a weird spot roster-wise. They'd be better of in the near term trading Garland and getting a player or two that fit better with Mitchell but how can you do that if you don't know if Mitchell will walk in a year? Will be an interesting summer for them, that's for sure.
Suggs, Fultz and Harris out for Orlando
For now. We’ll see who injures themselves tonight and go from there…
Yup, first game back from all star though it starts to get better:
Brunson, DDV, Hart, Precious, Ihart, Mcbride, Burks, Bojan, Sims..
Then the big boys come back and we reasy to rock again
Also, no shit about Mitchell. It is clear he wants to be a Knick. Does that happen? TBD.
Embiid is a special talent, but he misses too much time. I'd pass.
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..
I cant wait to get healthy and not have to watxh dumb basketball players like Sims and Mcbride
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.
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
cavs go up 1 and dont look back after that
