Most important game of the year.
Where ji with the jinx when we need him the most?

I haven't bothered to watch any games in quite some time but I did notice Porzingis and Gafford sharing the floor quite a bit over the last few weeks judging by some of the highlights.
How has that pairing worked out for the Wizards so far, who is Porzingis tasked with on defense, or are the Wizards just dropping into a zone with those two on the floor?

Thus far, in limited minutes, based on the eye test it's been a good duo offensively with maybe some confusion defensively. I think they've only done it for 3 or 4 stretches thus far, so really hard to gauge. At the very least it hasn't been unplayable, it looks could be something but who knows after scouts start to key in on it. Porzingis hasn't been the best on switches and I'd have to believe he'd have to do that quite a bit if Gafford was in there with him.

Porzingis and KCP are both out so the Wiz are finally tanking.

The Knicks board is quite perturbed that they don't seem to be doing the same thing.

It makes sense - smart move.
There will be a Vernon Carey sighting.

Kind of shocked they are now realizing ping pong ball implications and sitting Porzingis and KCP. This is going to be tanktastic.
But watch us lose, grab the 9th seed and watch SA or NY jump up from 10th or 11th to get the first pick in the draft.

Finally, the lineup we should've seen since the ASB.

One must not make shots to tank well.

That's an awfully tanktastic lineup they started with.

Knicks look to be blatantly tanking. That behind the back pass on the fast break by Barrett is a prime indicator.

There's the overdribbling Neto we have come to know.

Good for the tank. Didn't see this coming when R.J. Barrett was injured and didn't come out for the second half. But playing the Neto's, Todd's and Carey's of the world has helped. The Knicks got the lead over them and then exploded against Deni, Kispert and Rui. Toppin making threes now is going to be a big lift for the Knicks next seaosn.

Love it. Need to lose a game? Just call up Isaiah Todd and put him out there.
What a horrible draft pick

Knicks still have their starters out there.
