Thibs has his team absolutely rolling like a well-oiled machine. We are hobbled and broken. Game is on now, can we survive?

Could this be real? We are actually getting some board line calls early in this game.

Thibs must have had an old batch of Wolve miracle tonic he was going to give to his team for this game but the crate dropped and spilled all over the practice court and both teams got a dose.

Yes, it's had been unreal. I need to check my TV to make sure I am not watching NBA2K23.

Naz takes such bad angles on defense. So many of his fouls are just him being out of position.

Now that is what I am talking about using Gobert more on offense. We should had play this way all year. Vanderbilt fans take that - no way he has this type of productivity :D

We got a huge issue with fouling and getting fouls. Teams are always killing us at the free throw line. Thats a serious flaw that losses us games.

Nothing can ever go right.

We're out two stars & we're hitting shots BUT almost everyone is in foul trouble.

Great offense but got to play a little better D. They let NYK score too quickly and not just Quickley.

Maybe I'm being too pessimistic but it doesn't feel like a game we will win. Even with the hot shooting early, just felt like we weren't playing good enough to win which is crazy. Knicks just look a lot more dangerous with our guys out,

What kind of Voodoo did Randle put on the basket? The guy just couldn't missed from anywhere.

We need to get McDaniels and NAW hooked up with Giannis strength trainers. A little light in the behind.

We def need more lengthy, strong defenders though

There will be 9 games left after this one. If KAT isn't back next game we may as well shut it down.

Gobert needs to control the middle better be a little more aggressive with the block
