I question if we should have traded Divincenzo. Think that's one of Horsts worst moves. Then we acquired Grayson with the money we should've given Divincenzo.

But that's all 20/20. DDV had a bad injury and you were hoping Ibaka had something left. Unfortunately he was at the Jae Crowder part of his career.

Ibaka was so visibly cooked before we made that trade. I get the Donte contract thing, but you cross that bridge in the summer when you can let him see how dry his market is for himself. It was a horrendous piece of GMing.

Man, why did Morey have to go and tarnish his relationship with Harden?

I think that Baraboob would have done Jrue/Portis for Maxey/Tobes to get that Embiid/Harden/Jrue big 3.

JJ calling out the NBA. Need to move that restrictive area, it would save more careers. Players can take off from far.

This is my biggest fear about Giannis coming back too early.

KAT too.

I know it's inevitable, but injuries really put a damper on the playoffs.

Just so brutal dude. Sixers/Bucks on the same side of the playoff bracket, both get winnable matchups, potential to finally get the Embiid/Giannis playoff matchup that we need to see, and they're both injured. Ugh

Lot of Knick fans celebrating that Embiid injury. Gross.

Ant said KD was his favorite player growing up. That's crazy. Imagine playing MJ, LeBron, Kobe, Wade, Giannis...etc. at that level.

Embiid has slowed down shooting wise but his floor game has been great in the third.

Why does the cracking down on foul baiting calls not apply to Embiid?

I'm shocked he is back out there. Embiid is risking his career.

Giannis might average 38 a game if he shot FTs like Embiid. What the org has done over many years to try and coach him has been a miserable failure.

Calling that a shove is a bit of a homer Knicks call from Breen. Not much in it at all.

Josh Hart just might be the perfect role player. Specially when he's shooting threes.

Breen shouldn't be allowed to fall Knicks games, IMO.

This is why I hate the new rules they have put in recently, like that one and the ''no-flopping'' rule.

All it does is give the officials more leeway to make judgement calls, I.E. the ability to pick and choose who they want to call it on and who they don't want to call it on.

I.E. more ability to manipulate the outcomes of games in the favor that they want.

One of the many reasons why the NBA is a **** product.

Which sucks because I have been following the NBA since the early 90's and I would say that IMO, the overall talent in the league right now might be at an all time high since I started watching.

Giannis, Joker, Luka, SGA, ANT-MAN to name a few are all great players who are highly entertaining to watch.

But the league is blowing it because the production of the product IMO, is at an all-time low.
