NFT: Knicks at Raptors - Game Thread 7:30pm

OBJ_AllDay : 3/27/2024 11:22 am
Knicks currently a half game behind Cleveland for the 3 seed and 2.5 back of the Bucks for the 2 seed. Bucks have remaining games with the Magic (twice), Celtics, Knicks, Grizz, Thunder & Pelicans. It's not out of the realm of possibilities to catch them. One game at a time...

Mitch would make a big difference for the second unit. Sims makes some plays but he's not a good rim protector. He needs fewer minutes. I like Sims as a human victory cigar but not a guy getting significant minutes.

OG participated "partially" in the shoot around yesterday whatever that means.

Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has been upgraded to questionable vs. Raptors tonight and now moves to the cusp of a return. Robinson -- who's been recovering from ankle surgery --- has been out since Dec. 8.

I wouldn’t be surprised if OG is questionable Friday and plays Sunday against OKC.

I think Randle makes it back for the last two weeks of the season.

Yeah it seems with OG they are being extra careful this time, i think they rushed him a little bit and now its more about getting that zelbow stronger

Jan in DC : 3/27/2024 1:07 pm : link
that needed surgery, I thought he was one of the most important people on the team and we were going to struggle without him.

Hartenstein has obviously exceeded expectations, but I think that having Mitch back will continue to unlock this team. He was a monster in the playoffs against the Cavs. Hopefully there's enough time to get his conditioning right before the playoffs.
What a huge lift for the team.

I doubt that strength per se is the issue. The elbow seems to have been tender post-surgery and he did something that didn't cause any major damage but made it sore. Strength probably isn't going to fix that tenderness. That probably just needs time.

Only his doctors really know if he's at risk of a signficant setback.
You got to remember though  
nygiants16 : 3/27/2024 4:33 pm : link
he didnt use that arm for 4 or 5 weeks, was in a sling for 2 weeks..Strength is definitley a part of it..

Scar tissue is another and when it breaks apart it is very painful..

You could tell he didnt trust the elbow fully
Mitch back tonight.  
Doubledeuce22 : 3/27/2024 4:38 pm : link
Let’s go! Will be a huge boost.
Let's see how Money Mitch does

Great to have the big man back in the rotation.  
Heisenberg : 3/27/2024 4:53 pm : link
Will be awesome to have him to spell Hartenstein. Need to keep iHart healthy for the playoffs and Achiuwa was a bit of a liability defensively in some matchups.
Draymond already ejected against Orlando.

I want the 3 seed.

I think we can win the East, but I still think the Cs & now the Bucks are better than us. We'll need some luck.
Sometimes thibs lineups are confounding  
LW_Giants : 3/27/2024 8:09 pm : link
Hart, Mitch and precious? What the fuck
Horrific defense by the Knicks overall  
bceagle05 : 3/27/2024 8:10 pm : link
but up 12 thanks to Deuce.
What difference  
larryflower37 : 3/27/2024 8:19 pm : link
With Hartenstein and Mitch. It's a scary combination.
With everyone healthy Thibs might have to go 10 deep

Mmmm…muscle..? Weight definitely

I think he looks good for the first few minutes but definitely some mouth breathing
Damn, Brunson must drive opposing defenders nuts.  
Optimus-NY : 3/27/2024 8:22 pm : link
Brunson backs his guy into the paint and makes the basket from his weak side while being fouled.
Red hot from three.

Taking care of business so far.

Nope, Precious at the five to close the half.
80 points in the first half.

Wow.

Up 21.
Well that was fun  
nygiants16 : 3/27/2024 8:43 pm : link
now lock in defensively and end this early
Scottie Barnes might be  
bceagle05 : 3/27/2024 9:14 pm : link
as much of a cornball as Haliburton. Stop barking at the refs from the bench in your street clothes, down 25 points.

Del Shofner : 3/27/2024 9:16 pm : link
leave something to be desired but he's doing some things and ... he is a big dude. Doesn't hurt to have him back.

Yep, looked better last game, though the competition is terrible. I think Bogey will secure that ninth spot in the playoff rotation with Deuce, Hart and Mitch off the bench.
