Nose bleeds over $250. So I guess it depends on your definition of reasonable.

That's not reasonable. When I look at the crowd it looks like a great mix of people, not totally corporate. I guess New Yorkers got a lot of dough.

Over $400 actually. Maybe last minute its $250 or something but to get in the door its been $450+ usually. I saw cheapest was $480 this morning.

He works on his game every summer. What you're seeing now is how far he's come from just a defensive stopper. Heck he couldn't shoot when he came to Raptors.

What? Yes he could. He shot 37% from 3 as a rookie.


Not on good volume. His form was just so ugly and worse than robotic. To add to my point he shot 63% from free throw rookie year. next year he was 33%, FT% was 58%. He got better in third year when his shooting form improved.

I'm glad people from the slums of Wall Street can still manage to scrape money to get to the game.

Yeah, it was around 5PM EST, I saw $288. Game 2's lowest is $279 as we speak.

No.


Very much agree on the Randle/Mathurin thing. The ball sticks with Mathurin. Hurts the ball movement and player movement game that we are excelling at.

The Knicks are in need of another scorer big time. Randle would be that. Anything happens to Brunson and I'm not sure where the scoring would come from.

It was almost 3 attempts per game, that's pretty decent volume.

So bench minutes are currently 47-13. Can the Knicks really play at this pace at those minutes and not run out of gas?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

To add to my point he shot 63% from free throw rookie year. next year he was 33% from 3, FT% was 58%. 2nd year was more indicative of his ability to shoot at that point. He got better in third year when his shooting form improved. FT% started going north of 70%.

Thats a typical 'he missed the layup so it must've been a foul' call
