I don't know why, but Siakam has felt good at everything except FTs since he got here. No idea why but it feels like he's shooting 60% without looking.

This might be the worst challenge I’ve ever seen.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Not a good challenge imo. Too much contact there to just ignore it just cause he blocked the shot.

LOL at this challenge
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Mind boggling, unless they saw something before or something possibly offensive to overturn that I didn't see on the replay they showed...

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.


He just adds a different type of scoring too. He and OG were a great forward combo. Mathurin would definitely help though.

Not on good volume. His form was just so ugly and worse than robotic.

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


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%.

I think you have to look at that second year as an aberration tbh. His father passed away right before the season started, and less importantly he was demoted to the bench because Kawhi happened.
