Sigh

Come on KG, he's been a lot better the last 4-5 games, he's finally finding his spot on the team and getting in rhythm.

Its ok to be wrong.


He's def been better

Not sure he should play over Precious but I get the second scorer by committee deal we have

Yes, they were great too

Bring on Miami. Unlike last year this time we got OG to stick on Butler. I feel good about our chances. Milwaukee looks vulnerable we got home court against them. ECF here we come!

They play excellent defense and they have multiple quality players in DD, Caruso and White. Vuc was good today too.

They look like a better than an 8th seed team and last year 8th seed went to the finals.

So now I'm rooting for the Bulls to beat ATL to fck up the Celtics


Just to come back to this. They're playing a very disciplined offensive game and are solid defensively. Two leading scorers, one is 2 or 1B but not far off, who can score regularly and Vucevic as a third cog ain't bad, ain't bad at all. Caruso then fourth option and perimeter defense

They're very clear and balanced in what they're doing out there ... I'm impressed

We have Brunson and some depth defensively but otherwise, and I'll duck on this, they're pretty comparable to our roster

I think they can at least keep it close most games versus Boston

They'll have to beat ATL and then beat the loser of the MIA/PHI play-in game to meet Boston, but I'd love Boston to play them or MIA

Honestly pacers arents as good but there pace and space offense with bringing there center outside the paint is probably the worst schematic matchup for us. We do better with more traditional centers.
4-Peat! 22-25 BAF Champion Spurs:

ROSTER

Walker Kessler/Daniel Gafford/Adem Bona
Nikola Jokic/Santi Aldama/Isaiah Stewart
Aaron Nesmith/Josh Hart/Jaime Jaquez
Alex Caruso/Keon Ellis/Justin Champagnie
Steph Curry/Chris Paul/Ryan Rollins

Best Knicks team ever!!!

Who's tuning in to Sixers Heat?

I'll settle for 1st team all NBA. Doris Burke wondered if Brunson should get the nod over Giannis if we got 2nd seed.

Plus if we make it out of the first round and Milw makes it out, it's much better to have home court advantage. There was no way this team was going to intentionally throw the game

Haliburton is a stud whether we want to admit it or not

And I watched the Magic game, and granted Bucks are teetering, but the Magic seemed to get their game back together today

They need another shooter, but Magic good

Heat maybe should be favored against us

Playing well but that's a tall order ... and maybe expended too much gas today

These coaches who don't tank tho - they're good for the sport

Great achievement. 50 wins with the amount of injuries we had is a pretty crazy thing to achieve. It is no exaggeration to say the Knicks could have reached 60 wins or close to it with a healthy Randle and O.G. This team is good.

Actually the season has already been a big success for me. A first round win would be icing on the cake but not a requisite for this season to be a success.

I hope that this is true.

You always make a fair trade but these star trades are bend over boyfriend trades. Count me out.
