Is this an awkward time to bring up that they don't even have Chet?

Or the gazillion first rounders they still have in the chamber... oh boy...

OKC's offense is aight. Nothing to be afraid of.

They look great. But as you said nobody is really better than us offensively. Can our defense match theirs? Best case scenario I would actually say yes.

Mitch would have to be prime time healthy, Bridges would have to reclaim is Suns level defense, Precious needs to finish ramping up and Towns just needs to keep suprising me on that end of the court.

We dont have to worry about Hart and OG , we know what they'll bring.

Touché, it was the double team on Luka and Kyrie that got them the win. Not enough players on Dallas could shoulder the load.

Yet certain posters want to fawn over this ex Knick as if they were calling an ex-girlfriend to talk about the new guy she's f*cking.

Sports Cuck.

Once players leave the Knicks, they are dead to me.
Dead! You hear that!?

Current Knicks players are dead to you too.

That's only 50% of the time

If we do meet OKC in the Cup final do we still play them two more times in the regular East West home and away? That's a small disadvantage.

If we lose to Hawks tonight is there a schedule game to be added, or is that it? Being in the Cup is nice but extra games just gives Thibs the chance to overplay starters more.

I believe the cup top two teams play an 83 game regular season... could be wrong...

What a come-from-behind win by Houston versus Golden State! Rockets’ defense caused the Warriors to have a couple of shot clock violations in the clutch. Ime is a great coach.

anyone know what I-Hart said? I heard on the KFS pod it mentioned he said something seemingly negative but can't find anything.

That was a terrible call to end the game. The refs gave them the game.

Warriors have been absolutely shambolic in the clutch ever since Durant left them but especially the last two seasons. No team has blown more 10+ point leads in the fourth and they always complaining about some precedents and calls.

Steve Kerr needs to put it together hold some accountability. This is the fifth noticeable clutch "accident" with them in the last 10 months - Christmas' Eve vs Nuggets and too many "free throws given"(lost in final possession), vs Clippers and unnecessary foul by Klay(lost in final minute), flopping complains about Jokic (up by 20 in the fourth to lose by half court buzzer beater :lol:

), Braun's tech 2 weeks ago for not having timeout and now against Rockets too. They were legitimate complains I get it but in every single of the aforementioned occasions theyve been choking huge leads.

I hate how people now think journalism works in this country (wonder why). There's a vetting process that takes place to ensure the info is good. But because people love to dickride their favorite athlete, celebrity or politician, and want to only believe the news that makes them look favorable, they end up throwing the reporter under the bus. I'm glad Shams stuck to his guns in a follow up segment, and when Butler gets traded, they can act nothing happened.
