This national broadcast feels very Celtics-leaning lol.

1st quarter Julius Randle is just a monster this season; only 6pts & 3rebs, but 5 assists as he & Brunson led us to a 47pt quarter.

After the first couple games with Phoenix we’re all going to realize how underrated KD has become.

Knicks have been really good for a while but it's a brutal season to finish 5th in and they're likely to finish 5th

I mean winning 45+ games just to play the 76ers or Cavs without HCA kinda blows

Yes... Doris cannot help herself. It's rather annoying.

I think everyone knows just how good he is and how consistent and automatic he is

that C's sweep rightfully plays a part in the narrative around KD, but yeah it was a very weird sweep with close games
and we see just how good Dallas looks with Luka and Kyrie

If we hold onto a top 6 spot, that sounds pretty awesome to me. We're not in that Milwaukee / Boston / Philly tier, and we're not as close to it as Cleveland is :dontknow:

There's something with Westbrook and Harden where they lose control of the ball during a gather, and sometimes while dribbling, in a way they haven't done before in their career. It's as if they've lost their grip strength.

barring injury hard to see you guys losing the 5th

Miami ain't catching up and the Nets def aren't catching up

I guess I just see Cavs as being as a team as the 76ers
i don't mean matchup wise specifically vs the Knicks, I mean in general

When did Detroit get Wiseman?

Great, now Schroder turns his ankle

Get some help for Mark Williams,

Time for CP3 to become a 6th man,

You know Mark Williams got next, RealGM

OKC is mailing it in for the rest of the season?

tugs · Post #57 » by **tugs** » Thu Mar 2, 2023 1:27 am

Okogie has been playing out of his mind recently, but I think the better fit is Craig, or best to try and give reps to Darius Bazley. Interesting to see him not worrying on scoring and can just focus on defending and rebounding

Knicks with 74 points with 3:30 left in the 2nd. Just absolutely destroying the Nets right now.

*fingerscrossed* but as a Knicks fan, I can't count my chickens before they've hatched :lol:

Fair enough. Philly is closer to Cleveland than the top 2, but my point was more that we're not one of the 4 best- or most talented teams in the East. So it's tough to be disappointed that we're unlikely to finish with HCA in the first round.

Low scoring great defensive games are so much more fun.

Who wins?
