Next man up.

Divo needs to hit threes for three players... Randle, Bogie and himself

He can do it. Randle sux at it anyway.

It's unfortunate but no, the playoff roster is the roster

He way do it though, if even for a few minutes.

I'm devastated right now. Bojan was finally getting his groove with the team and this happens.

at least on those 3-4 mins where neither Maxey nor Embiitch are on the floor... though he is a net negative without Brunson on the court... he must be kept on check... play him only on the weakside with Isaiah/Achiuwa

actually he is sorely missed against the Sixers... he would have scored at least 20pts off the drives to the lane per game with how much attention Brunson gets and how inactive is Embiitch on defense

I would start Achiuwa and McBride just to piss them off

Would’ve gotten so many free throws

He doesn't need motivation. He needs a conscience.

he had all the time in the world to work on his shot and conditioning... zero minutes for almost a month

I feel like the difference between Josh Hart and Derrick White captures the essential difference between the Knicks and Celtics. One guy more unpredictable and dynamic, and forced into doing more for his team ... the other guy more boring and predictable ... even if the former may not be as good as the latter ... which we hope remains to be seen.

Next man up, Burks is probably the better player anyway

Burks will probably give himself the speech
