Let's hope at least one of these guys the guy on the right is available tonight to face the NY superteam.

Lively, Grimes and Klay questionable.
Last year, Kyrie pulled a huge win also w/o Luka, Knicks were on a massive run after the OG trade, healthy, and crashed in Dallas.

NYK just destroyed Denver.

We need to protect our home court.

Tough game, Knicks are very good and Kidd is still our coach...

Great read about Naji.

The Dallas Mavericks have received incredible production from Naji Marshall, who joined the team on a three-year, $27 million contract in free agency

And Knicks won't be able to escape the man, the myth, the legend... Dwight Powell!!!

Grimes and Naji are such huge upgrades from THJ and Josh Green. Kinda wish the Klay trade just didn't happen and instead they re-signed DJJ but hopefully Klay's shooting will be more valuable in the playoffs.

just cut Hardy at this point

I can't take this idiot anymore

We are playing 4 against 6 with this guy - and still winning big

Wish Klay's ego would let him come off the bench. I think Naji starting in his place would work out better for both guys. Luka/Kyrie/Klay lineups just get killed on defense.

omg this is so true. glad I'm not the only one.

The team has been so good on both ends of the floor without washed up Klay.

Hardy is a actually the type of guy you want to keep around. He has a fair contract (especially by today's standards) and he's a guy who knows how to put the ball in the basket..thats worth something in this league. Is he a little too myopic at times in his approach, yes, but I prefer an aggressive guy than not. The coaching just has to hold him accountable (for making the right play) when he doesnt.

I'm shocked Kidd is taking proper TO's tonight.

I think Klay defense has been solid for the most part. It's really just his shot and selection at times. I think Klay should work on his conditioning because his legs seem to be issue. Klay needs to stop pressing and just focus on what he can do to help the team. Defense 1st, shooting when open, making the right play-usually a pass- and Keep it simple.

I actually think you want to start the more pure shooter (from the 3) in the starting lineup. I do love the fact that Naji doesnt always settle for the 3. I think that's something we do when Luka is playing...but since Luka has been out I have noticed (with the increase ball and man movement) - guys are not settling for those 3s. I think this is something we need to continue as a team. We shouldnt just settle for those 3s unless its a knock down guy.

too funny Knicks get all the calls now

gotta make hard fouls now

GermanFan120 · Post #15 » by **GermanFan120** » Thu Nov 28, 2024 2:18 am

Spencer has not been consistent. But he is still better than Klay on offense.

GermanFan120 · Post #16 » by **GermanFan120** » Thu Nov 28, 2024 2:19 am

I don't recall us winning a single challenge in the game this season.

Captain_Obvious · Post #17 » by **Captain_Obvious** » Thu Nov 28, 2024 2:20 am

why do we get hits and no call? clear path? no verticality? we have almost double the calls against us

Honestly, I'm a Spencer guy. The dude knows how to play basketball and he has confidence. There's something called trust factor...Spencer is one of those guys you trust.

Spence is twice the player that is Hardy - yet I see not even close to the same degree of criticism

I guess it must all be Kidds mistake - yawn
