Jimmy?

In terms of pure numbers, booker. In terms of quality of opponent, Jimmy for sure

Jimmy?

It’s close, but 37/7/5 on 70% TS is ridiculous

Given the quality of first round appointment it still has to be Jimmy. Playing the 1st seed, best NBA record team and winning is a different level of competition than a team with two injured all-nba level wings out.

Booker has the benefit of playing off of KD, which is a huge advantage. But hard to argue with the level he’s playing at.

Miami is all over the Knicks. Celtics aren't avoiding them. If Williams injury is serious, the Heat might be the favorite. Playoff Jimmy is real.

Dude please. First Rob is fine and playing. Look at his interview this morning. And if you think the Heat would be favored you are crazy. They’d be huge underdogs. Huge underdogs even if Herro was playing.

I'm saying they need Williams to get past them. 100%

Yes would help. Maybe more against the west than the Heat. Regardless he’s playing

His numbers against a full strength Nuggets through three games are right in line with his total Playoff numbers though.

Knicks just aren’t ready for this moment. Getting blown out by this Heat team is pathetic. Most of their roster is guys who are barely even in the league.

If we play the Heat I’d imagine we have some tough games but there’s no chance they’re blowing us out at any point lol

The heat are **** annoying. They are scrappy on D. Kind of swarming defense and very fast on their hands. They gave the Jays problems last year. They got a lot of strip and steals.

The heat pack in the drive's 1st and foremost and then try to get back out to shooters but no one gets a lane free no 1..

Beating that defense will require patience ball movement and of course knocking down key shots.. If you don't protect the ball and make your threes they can win every time

We’d smash the Heat, FWIW.

Lol, they could win the next two games by 30 and they wouldn't be the favorites against the celtics. Also, rob seems to be okay.
