Bates is a restricted free agent this summer any way.jbk1234 wrote:I was waiting for JBB to turn around after he emptied the bench, the train wreck ensued, the booing started in earnest, and yell: Is this not what you want? Are you not entertained?
Emoni Bates is a long, long way away from being a meaningful contributor.

Perhaps, but he was setup for failure and then sabotaged. He should spend a whole lot of time this Summer on his handle, though.
Seems weird to have the 2-seed in sight and then tank it away to guarantee a matchup with Orlando. Clearly some people are only thinking of the first round and not things like home court in the 2nd or even potentially the ECF if Boston got knocked out. Alas, the Knicks didn't co-operate, but Thibs is gonna Thibs ( played DDV 52 minutes )

You have to make it to the second round to worry about the second round and the sad reality is that this team is still learning how to close out games against good teams. I personally think we matchup better against the Celtics than the Knicks. Also, if the Celtics get knocked out by either the Heat or Sixers, we will have home court in the second round.
