Cant have been any worse than Beasley.

Ausar and Holland have been pretty lackluster in this series. I'm all right rolling with Beasley in hopes he finally gets his stroke back.
But is abandoning Sasser one of those stubborn Bickerstaff adjustments he was unwilling to make, as purported by the fans of every team he's ever coached? Not a biggie in my book, but like I said, I would have liked to seen him get a couple of stretches in this series.

Sasser should get Holland's 6-8 minutes tonight. I know he probably won't, but he should... would be great to get a guard that could make come in and make 1-2 three pointers or create something for themselves on offense when Cade is getting the lock down D on him.

Also, is there an uglier fanbase than NYK? I can't even talk about the games on the general board without some Knicks ball gargler getting upset and offended. I know some of you out there are good ones, but holy crap I was blindsided by the illogical fandom.



There was a time when it was much worse than it is today. Posting on the Celtics forum used to be an automatic suspension/ban if you weren't a Celtics fan. Celtic/Knicks posters had their own water fountains and we used the one for "colored" posters.

I promise he's hurting. Can't promise it's something a needle wont help.

So apparently, if Knick‘s players play out of control and fall down, it’s a foul on us regardless. Cade sitting on the bench because Josh Hart flew into him. Jalen Brunson flops out of control and it’s a foul on Holland.

I think a case could have been made for starting Schroder and playing him heavier minutes w/ Cade. Good to see Beez hit a few though.

The foul hunting is sooo infuriating, but gotta play through it.
