If AD really has a sore groin, he should be sitting the rest of the season.

Just minor injury? Or like out for a few games ?

THT was huge. Cold blooded 3 at the end was a dagger.

AD and AD2 played hard.
AD just wasn’t in rhythm offensively but played good D on Julius on several possessions at the end .

Damn... Sucks about Caruso's foot though... Hope it's minor.

I'm getting one as soon as he resigns with us in the summer.

The 3 was nice but one thing people may not talk about, because Rose had such an impressive box score, was that most of those points came when THT wasn't guarding him... He actually did a really solid job on Rose throughout the game... He even bodied up Randle a few times and attacked all 3 NY bigs at the rim...
He also made a lot of mistakes... But all things considered, he played a great game.

Also loved that he hit that 3 right in front of Thibs... I had no idea how annoying that dude is, with his constant shouting from the sidelines.

Here is my story: when the game started I was busy making Taco Tuesday happen for the family. When I was done sat down on the couch to watch the recorded game lagging about 30 minutes from the actual game. Tacos and beers were had, great game enjoyed then disaster. My recording ended with 1:20 left in overtime. Had to find out who won from highlights in the post game show.

I am just hopeful that our team is ramping up to their 2020 playoff levels.
AD KCP Caruso just about there. I am confident they will be ready. (Hopefully AD's new injury is not anything major)
Lebron I am sure will be ready.
Kuzma is just about looking how he looked last year. lol
THT is contributing more so than last year of course.
Just hope Gasol Trez Schroder Morris Matthews will get to a zoned-in point.

Wow what a game ! After almost costing us the game THT actually won us the game. I love what Thibodeau is doing with the Knicks though. I think they'll have a deep playoff run.

The coaching staff really has a much tougher job this season, because they have so many decent to good players... We still only have 2 great players, but we have more middle tier players than last season... Last season the playoff rotation was pretty obvious, this season, Rondo's gone and he was maybe the only real hard to anticipate talent...
This season, guys we relied on heavily last season, like Morris, kuz and Caruso, have been joined by Trez, Schroder, THT, McLemore, and Mathews... We still have KCP, who seems like a logical fit at the 2... But Morris is looking less like the obvious choice to start in the playoffs... What do we do with Trez? Who gets the nod off the bench, Mathews or McLemore? Who starts at C? All those questions and more are much tougher this year.

I think we need to be talking about the game Mathews played too... Lots of key plays that don't show up on box scores as much... Solid reactive D, key buckets, physical play... He's going to be big for us in the post season too...

Just finished watching the game on DVR. Good win by our team. Took me a while to realize how passive AD often is in head-to-head matchups with other elite bigs. Randle was clearly more aggressive and looked like the better player for much of the game. Shooting 8-23 in a game in which your team needs you the most is pretty terrible. He did make some very nice defensive plays. AD is clearly not a guy that will carry his team.

I've always been a fan of the way he plays the game. He's obviously struggled a bit with is shot this season, but I think he'll be solid if given a chance in the playoffs.

Big win. Quality win. Good to see AD leading the team with his defense, while also being a 6’11” PG and primary scorer. Monster game by AD and also by THT. Wes stepping up with a big play was also great to see.

But more than anything, our defense is just simply grade a. I love it when we win games where the 90-105 point range is the winning score.

Without Bron, Dennis, AC. Impressive.

Good showing by THT. He’s a hunter.

You HAVE to be talking about me lmao. :rofl:

Honestly, I do love THT. But he's young. And I definitely think to max out the LeBron/AD window, we should have dealt him for Lowry.

With that said.. he's such a trip. LMAO. Last night's emotions watching that 4th quarter and OT was hard to explain. A roller coaster ride because of THT alone. But these are SUPER valuable reps for him.
