Guaranteed if Hart was playing he'd be leading rebounder right now. FOUR for both teams is high.

We needed Clarkson cuz Thibs had everyone believing we got no bench. Turns out we had a decent one all along. Huk, Kolek and Shamet giving solid minutes.
Fire Thibs!

Shamet is nice in a limited bench role.

Never believed he was "unplayable".

Not sure he’ll fit but there for another day.


He HAS to shoot when he's open, but other than that he's nice match for DHO action.

Good to see Knicks killing on the boards 24-15. With Hart would be even better.

OG will probably be an all star this year. Brown saw what most of us saw when he got a chance to have the ball in his hands when Brunson went down
