If we lose this, Gores should sell the team.
It's the Knicks. The Knicks.

Is Blake really playing? This makes no sense. He is hurting the team, he can barelly move and he is hurting himself. If we can't beat the Knicks without Blake, we don't deserve the honor of being swept in the playoffs anyways so why?

As of now, Blake is listed as doubtful. So he probably won't play.

And even if we fans don't really care if the team wins (for all the reasons we've discussed), this is a huge game for Drummond and Jackson. If these guys have any true competitive spirit / leadership instinct, if they think they were worth their max contracts and another one, then they better take this game as a challenge and play their asses off tonight. They should be salivating at the opportunity to put their team into the playoffs, and compete in the playoffs, without Blake. And they should be feeling desperate to avoid missing the playoffs on their charge. Prove that I've been wrong all these years about the two of you. This is your last shot.

They both played well against Memphis, Ish just played out of his mind, that's why Reggie didn't finish the game. Blake/Kennard/Ellington/Maker/Galloway/Zaza/GRIII were a complete disaster Reggie/Ish/Drummond/Brown played well. Later in the 2nd half Kennard started playing well too.

We win the game if one of our SG's gets hot from behind the arc. Otherwise we could be in some trouble. Maker and Brown are non-entities offensively.

I was looking at the Knicks starters and was thought "Who the hell are these guys? lol"
Then I looked at our starters and wondered the same for our starting SG and SF spots. They may as well just start Kennard. We don't have any other wing players? Where do they even find these guys? We could use Reggie Bullock right about now.

No Blake tonight.
We still have to ball.
I hope to see our shooters hot and aggressive.
I hope to see Drummond in dominant form.
I hope to see all our guys engaged on defense.!!

Hopefully yesterday’s game was a wake up call for these guys not to underestimate the Knicks. We’re on a back to back on the road, and a playing young players who want to prove themselves. Expect the same energy and effort that Memphis brought. Don’t be shocked if Henry has a big game against us. If there’s one guarantee, it’s that ex-Pistons always seem to show up against us.
Good thing is the Knicks played yesterday as well. Hopefully we win as well as Brooklyn and Charlotte. That will land us the 7th seed against Toronto.

Personally I really like Brown. He’s got a lot of work to do over the years on his offense but if he can then he will be in the league a while
