Was wondering what you guys think the minute distribution will be with Marc in the lineup now. I personally have always loved his game and while people he's old and it's not his game anymore, I don't know what they're talking about. Few C's space the floor as well as he does while giving tons of utility in the form of blocks, steals, assists, communication, leadership, etc.

Do you guys think Ibaka is gonna get the lion's share of the minutes, or is Marc being limited because he was just introduced to the roster? Either way you guys look great out there, so much depth and talent.


Even Knicks fans are wondering what Nurse is doing

that's what happens when you give teams open 3s...don't be surprised when they drain them.

Good timeout Nurse as Knicks are hitting their 3s. Please put in Gasol and the bench.

What is with the total lack of patience from people. That's a rhetorical question.

When was the last time Lowry led our team in scoring? Feel like its been a few months.

Should've let Gasol just go for everything tonight and let him have a big game. The more we involve him early, the more comfortable this team will be playing with him come playoff time.

Would also be a nice statement to the league to let Gasol feast. Like taking our balls out and putting them on the table.

Noticing our perimeter defenders are playing too close to their off man defensive assignment, so when the opponent player attacks and pass by the initial defender, we tend to help which the other team would swing the ball for an open 3.

Why are we so awful at defending 3s?

The latter. Gasol's gonna start. They're just easing him in.

You really think he'll take the starting spot away from Ibaka while he's playing so well? I know Ibaka has been struggling from the outside, something that Marc should remedy, but he's been having a great year otherwise. I like Marc's game more but I feel as if Ibaka has played well enough to keep his starting spot

because it's unwarrented... there is no justfiable rationale for not starting or benching of for so long

he is a better matchup for DeAndre

I think Nick Nurse is an idiot, so there's no telling what he'll do.

Not a lot of games left and top guys are constantly in and out of the line up.

This is a rare game where we have a full squad

If Fred had the shooting night pascal has had thus far there’d be a lot of chirping here lol.
