I assumed that like most role players, our guys struggled more on the road this season than at home, but Donte and Deuce at least actually shot better on the road (in the regular season).

DiVincenzo (2360 min total)
H: 15.9-3.8-2.8 on 41.8/37.9/71.6
R: 15.2-3.6-2.5 on 47.3/42.7/82.5

Hart (2707 min total)
H: 11-8.9-4.4 on 45.6/32.6/73
R: 7.8-7.8-3.8 on 40.8/29.2/90.2

McBride (1328 min total)
H: 8.7-1.6-1.7 on 42.5/37.8/86.2
R: 7.9-1.3-1.6 on 48.5/44.7/85.7

Dunno that OG (802) or Bogey (557) played enough minutes for us to glean anything from their H/R splits as knicks. But RobinHart's #s are nearly identical.

Knicks pulling a page out of the Sixers playbook with this Mitch questionable BS? He looked fine all last game right through the end.

Brunson snakes into the paint for a patented floater.... if they swarm... look for iHart on the roll or on a re-set... iHart is the valve that finds the most open shooter out of DDV, Hart, and OG... and while iHart is looking, Brunson re-curls around a Josh Hart screen for another secondary free-up at the 3pt line for an open three or a final downhill attack.

Rinse and repeat. Brunson should not be bringing the ball up... either Hart or DDV... to conserve JB's energy...

This. This. This.

Let Brother Hartenstein facilitate once they commit to doubling. Move the ball, shift the defense.

It's not like Philly is doing anything that can't be countered, Jalen just needs to not make it easy for them.

Hartenstein is like our

I'm curious to see how the Knicks play on the road is hostile philly after this:

Our guys should be prepared. This is a group of tough minded individuals. And besides, three of our core guys are very familiar with Philly from their college days and won.

didnt even realize that...Villanova is in PA

thibs the goat, i can't believe some people wanted him gone

I was wrong.

I wanted him gone at the end of last year because I thought he got outcoached vs spo and the heat.

then they went on to beat the Celtics

now I understand that things can be much much worse.

thibs is a top 5 coach.

May be going to the game with a buddy of mine. Anyone else going?

I’ll wear a Knicks shirt if I go, but I’m going to be real chill. The fans aren’t terrible here unless you start a problem.

Where's Lowry?

He was acting like he was injured at the end of the game.

He’s a sly little fcker. Don’t ever believe him.

he's a warrior, despite some of the questionable tendencies (flopping, talking spicy). he will keep coming. shocked so many of us who idolize patrick don't see some interesting parallels on that front. dude doesn't lay down.

I want to love him because his game does remind me of Ewing in a lot of ways and he's fought through a lot physically. I have think that Ewing would have ended up with that rebound though and he would have NEVER given that sniveling "the reffing was unacceptable and we're better than them" post game interview. Patrick was a better leader even if it was as the stoic/silent type.

Patrick would get pissed off over losing, but I don't remember him in a sniveling light

Embiid is deranged by a toxic brew of disappointment and painkillers, but that doesn't excuse his unsportsmanlike whining

If you chit talk and don't back it up, the standard is you STFU until you can redeem yourself. Embiid didn't get that memo apparently

He probably needed some sympathy after bricking free throws and screwing up the inboard pass

I was noticing Nurse's pathetic mannerisms last game. Never really pay that much attention to other coaches, but he really did look like a panicked wet dog on the sidelines

I’ll just say if he plays then he is fine. If not, we should be worried.

I saw him limping again when he was taken out of game in game 2

hopefully he can continue to play and manager it...we need him especially for this series.

Anyone here near Philly and interested in tickets to tomorrow's game?

Have 2 tickets, was going to go with my cousin but he's sick and can no longer make it.

I'll take face value for them since it's last minute and honestly just looking to get rid of them

Section 123, row 12, behind Knicks bench.

If anyone's interested, feel free to PM me.

What kind of cryptic nonsense is this? You can't just post something like this and leave us hanging. What were you told?
