Looking at our schedule going into the AS Game, I'm not that worried about our offense with Julius out TBH.

The way OG is playing he's a # 2 scoring option now next to Brunson.

Plus, the team needs to take this as a silver lining to find the open man with elite ball movement, something I expect to happen.

With the collective contributions of Donte, Grimes, Deuce and Hart, you can make up a 20 point shortfall any given night.

This will be a major opportunity for Precious too. His finishing sucked today on consecutive laser dimes by Deuce, but overall he can chip in a few extra points as well.

Depending on how Isaiah is faring we do have Sims to play and this might also be the moment Toppin sees some minutes.

The roster adjustments will give many guys the opportunity to show their value.

Use a TPE and acquire someone like Saric or Gallinari.


The timing lines up perfectly for that time line if his recovery is for a standard dislocation

Percentage-wise we're 4th seed today

There's no reason not to shoot for 2nd and 3rd seed.

I think we keep winning while Randle heals up and head into AS week in the 3rd seed position.

The rest of the season should be about catching the Bucks (or even Celtics if they have health issues)

I want us to be a top 3 seed at a minimum

I only caught from middle of 3rd quarter on. So iHart played 15 minutes. Is he ok? I think Precious played the whole time I watched
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

He looked good initially, but he does not seem healed up.

He needs to sit out more games

Thibs is playing with fire if they play him right now

So glad we never traded for a guy like Tyler Herro

Another stat padder who can't guard a fire hydrant

My key stat from today's game

Knicks Bench - 31 points + 24 Rebounds

Heat Bench - 33 points + 7 Rebounds

The big area of improvement would be pace, because the Heat had fast break points and we barely had any

With that kind of rebounding advantage we need to push the ball more

There was a play where it looked like iHart reached for a loose ball and his foot slipped out from under him, he didn't look in pain but I don't remember seeing him the rest of the game after that.

I don't know anything for sure, I just know what I saw from the telecast.

Ewing. Best team in 25 years imo.

Thanks man. It's a fun watch. Won't count y'all out until the playoff autopsy.

You think it’s better than the 2012-2013 team?


Yes and we have a trade piece + draft capital for this deadline.

Small window of time to see OG as a second option. Can he really evolve into Kawhi lite (or Heavy)

More small ball lineups and more minutes for Grimes and Deuce


PJ Tucker incoming

Toppin should have been kept

but if the injury is more serious there are plenty of options in the market

one of Lauri, Mikal or Grant for the starting lineup

plus three of Hayward, McDermott, Gallinari, Brogdon, Gafford, Miles, Lowry or Bojan for the bench


The show must go on...
