Gotta say just watched the highlights -- not very impressive. Toppin made a lot of plays where he should have passed, but didn't because he was being guarded by guys from the local Y. I mean it was lay up lines and practice 3's.

Yes it feels great to have a loaded squad.

Enjoy this now. In about a week we are all going to realize we got Fournier with a 3 inch growth spurt.

You are reaching Buzzardman levels of optimism.

This game thread is in the tradition of Buzz, it's like a statue of honor in a pose chosen by the departed legend...oh wait, not dead? nvm....

Hard pass. We are out of the professional chuckers business.

I could see Burks getting 30 minutes tonight. This is Thibs wet dream come true.

Bojan is not Fournier come on…

He plays with toughness

Let's hope the Knicks can finish off this stretch before the break with a couple of wins but the reality of it is that even if they go 1-2 or *gasp* 0-3 they are still within striking distance of the number 3 seed which should be the regular season goal.

I'm not seeing how they will be able to keep pace with the Cavs because of their creampuff schedule even with the deadline additions for the Knicks but they can catch the Bucks because they have been struggling themselves even with the coaching change.

Getting to the third seed as everyone who is watching the standings knows means the Knicks wouldn't see the Celtics until the ECF and while I personally don't see the Celtics as much more of a threat than the Cavs I do think the Pacers will catch the Sixers and I prefer the Knicks to match up with the latter.

Has it been announced what numbers they are wearing?

I could see Burks taking his old Knicks number 18 again or even slide into the recently vacated number 6.

Also think Bo takes his usual number 44 even though it currently is worn by a player on a two way contract.

I personally feel like the number 13 needs to be washed a dozen times before reissued to remove the vibe off it...as well as the likely stink of cheese.

So Isaiah clearly hasn’t looked 100% since the Achilles started acting up. He has played fine for the most part, but seems to come up hobbled once or twice a game now with a scare. A guy landed right on his Achilles last game, which knocked him out again.

What is the deal with this injury? I’d have to believe not playing is better than playing as far as recovery/management goes. Whatever they’re doing doesnt seem to be working. Seems like he needs to be shut down until the All Star break at least.

There's a guard I really like named Jeff Dowtin jr. Played for Raptors last year, they screwed him around then cut him in training camp. Better than Malachi. Started season hurt with Delaware Blue Coats, now playing. I thought Sixers would have called him up by now, Nurse liked him. Good defender. I'd like to see him on a 10 day, no idea if it's possible.

Halliburton still nursing an injury and on minutes restriction

They should have signed Biyombo as soon as Hartenstein got hurt again on Thursday.

Instead they just gave Taj another contract.

Taj is not an NBA player anymore. He can't provide anything at all.

The fact that they're not addressing the center position with all the injuries is weird.

I know they still have Precious and Sims but just get another body in there that can still do something on the court.
