They're the only game on tomorrow for some reason.

Want to step on their necks early. 10+ point Knicks lead in the 1st quarter. Don't give them any undue confidence.

20+ pt lead going into the 4th. Rest the starters.

None of that lackadaisical slow start BS and half-hearted defensive effort. Dominate them like a contender if we actually are one.

Seems like we're saying this every couple of games. This team needs to get their D in order.

What's the injury report? We're already having this conversation for multiple players. :lol:

Might as well include it in the game thread OP. How is KATs knee? How is Jalen's back? How is Cam's elbow? The entire season hinges on the health of this team. They are good enough to win if they are healthy. They are surrounded by question marks if they are not. We have a hard enough time when we lose one bench player. Now we have two hobbled starters and one bench player out multiple games. There's another 8-9 players on the roster but, they don't matter.

I kinda figured that but, it's the only thing I care about for now. I believe we can beat everyone with a healthy team. I believe we can lose to anyone if we are not healthy.

Don't worry guys, it's a trap. I'm letting them think that we are playing drop coverage the whole time. They're either gonna get overconfident and miss a ton of threes, or Knicks will actually surprise them with a different look on defense that they didn't expect

Knicks will come out flat again. RJ will have 20 by halftime. Knicks will make a comeback and tie up the game in the 3rd. Knicks will be up by 1 in the 4th with 12 seconds left on the clock. RJ will miss at the buzzer. Knicks survive. RJ supporters come out of the floodgates leading to a very exciting PG that may lead to some temporary bans.

Josh guarding RJ?

Knicks are second in the NBA in Second Quarter scoring, behind Memphis. When most teams bring their bench in, the Knicks have stayed pat with the majority of their starting lineup in. If there's an opportunity to put the game away early, it'll be in the second quarter.

Knicks aren't winning this. They suck.

Doubt it. OG is our guy. 8-)

I would like to see a patented 3-21 night from RJ...and OG lights his a$$ up for 30+ points. 20+ Knicks blowout W.

We need momentum to take down the Hawks..... and Wolves next......we knows what's going to happen to the board with that one :lol:
