Grant should be resting. He was hurt enough to sit out a game and next up is a long break. Doesn't make any sense. Give him the full week and half off to rest and get treatment.

Plus the team looked fine without him for a game. Sekou had more minutes. 29 year old "young guy" McGruder played a bit too much for my liking, but he clearly has NBA talent. Kelser kept calling him young guy and I thought, maybe he was 25 or something.

This Knicks team is scrappy and may be legit. They play hard and get off shots at a decent pace

Nice take by Sekou. He needs to do more of that.

Just tuned in - this is what I call tank execution. Glad I missed it.

Dennis Smith cannot get in the lane which is interesting considering is athleticism

he's slow with a average handle all he can do is jump high.

I cannot wait for when a Pistons game starts, and I want them to win. Seems like a long ways off, but I miss the tension that comes with expectations. Tough to watch these games knowing that losing is the best option.

Man I hope they land a top 3 pick...

I'm on the one year tank train. Next year I'm hoping for wins again with the young guys bringing energy and effort. Would love to see us be bottom 3 this year and then back into contention for a playoff spot next year with our 2021 rookie being a huge part of our success in addition to big jumps from all our 2020 rookies as well.

he has an okay handle but he has no advanced moves/fluidity so he's relying pretty much on straight-line athleticism to get to the rim. it doesn't work too well when you're his size, even with the explosion he has.
