My dream is to hit the playoffs with our team and get #1 with Dallas. The season is young. Let me live.

If only Kyrie grew up a Knicks fan instead of a Nets fan we would be contending at the moment.

maybe I'll be impressed if they win a chip, but keep that sage-burning head case outta MSG

....funny tho that when he requested outta Cleveland, he listed the Knicks and not the Nets as 1 of his preferred teams

There isn't a player in the NBA that does not use the Knicks as leverage when it comes to free agency.

Kyrie being a headcase didn't stop Cleveland from winning a title in 2016. People only seem to bring up Kyrie's attitude when the teams that he is playing for don't win anything. Whenever his teams do win something his attitude isn't an issue.

According to FiveThirtyEight, the Mavs' playoff odds dropped from 74% to 72% after that loss

lets go 28% !!!

RJ will have to be really really good. And the quickley injury will be a set back because he is our best PG.

We even shot the ball well tonight and Indy didn't shoot it well from 3 and we still lost.

We have Philly and than Milwaukee next. We will be staring down 0-3 with a game against CLE and they won there game with Garland and Sexton both playing really well.

The riches that will come with a top 3 pick will finally put us on the right trajectory.

odds still suck to nab a top pick especially now

but we have no other choice.

Didn't watch, but Darius Garland, huh?

22 points on 7-13 shoot (4-8 from deep), 6 rebounds, 6 assists (2 TOs), and a steal...would look pretty nifty next to RJ...

Rozier is nice, imagine thinking Charlotte wanted to give him up for Randle, lol.

Garland looks good

Oh and Vassell with a solid 0-3 0 points right now

We should have done that ****.

I think we would give a pick in the deal along Randle and Dennis for Monk and Rozier...

All in one game into the season?

Bold

He was bad overseas and in preseason but sure lets just go off of one game I guess

LaMello is a great passer and rebounder. He needs to improve a lot his shooting to be a good player. RJ needed one season to do it.

This will haunt the Knicks like Donovan Mitchell and SGA.

There are a lot of candidates to be the ghost of the past draft: Deni, Vassel, Haliburton, Kira and Cole.

I wouldn't complain about having to "settle" for getting to choose between Kuminga, Ziaire Williams or BJ Boston :dontknow:

Suggs
Green
RJ
Obi
Mitch

I swear to god if we hit this lottery right and still **** keep Elfrid Payton I'm going to be tight
