Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

There's a rape coming now. Hope it's going to be at least mildly entertaining.

Gonna watch it, hoping for Hanga to drop like 50 points and get a triple double in a win tbh.

Wish the game was still in Kolozsvár, not Constantinopolis.

Hanga scoreless yet, it's not a blowout. Makes me happy.

Maybe the Knicks will have an all Euro starting lineup at some point. KP showed great efficiency and rebounding in these playoffs so far. I think this is the real KP we'll see.

It sucks Melo will neutralize it since Melo still has to be the man when he's on the Knicks. Your team takes on the persona of the best player. I want a locker room where KP is the leader.

It's too bad one of Latvia and Slovenia won't be making it to the semifinals.

KP seemed to be a man among boys. Shot over the guys he also blocked on the other end, and was really unstoppable when he was driving hard to the hoop Yeah, I don't want Horny to let Melo stop this. If he even tries, he's got to be benched ASAP. This is good basketball. I want the Knicks to play this style.

In those clips they're not really running it through him. They're running it through the PG and he's the finisher. Ball movement, screens, and a good point is still the way to maximize KP.

Fingers crossed that all Frank's hard work will let him get in the lane vs. the big boys.

"Through" in the sense that he seems to be option 1. He seems to be creating a lot of offense for others from the breakdowns he causes on the opposing D.

After the investigation it made me think, because you have Doncic avatar, your nickname is obviously, to pay respect to one of the best NBA players ever Rasho Nesterovic who is Slovenian right? :lol: and you all the time say that you don't want to play againsts Latvia in 1/4.

Straight facts, touchdown JW... if you need detective services pm me.
