Life is always good beating the Knicks because of their annoying fans showing up to our games.

Simply said, Goga should be the starting center until around the all-star break.

WCJ is not in shape nor is his hand fully healed, slowly ramp up his minutes

We would not get this win if WCJ was starting tonight

Goga is the starting Center for this team.

That is all.

This is our signature style and it is working well. It’s not contender-good but that’s where trades and FA come into play. We own all of our picks and we have expiring contracts. It’s time to get aggressive.

Goga gives the starting unit exactly what they need.

I totally agreed with you. Goga should be the starting center. The team played much better defensively with Goga on the floor.

We were fortunate that the Knicks shot worse from 3 than us

But no question, we need better shooting. Franz & Paolo shooting well from 3 helped alot with their games tonight atleast

Of course, we got lucky the Knicks were worse than us there (and we forced them into some tough threes) - but the fact that we did so much good stuff, they struggled and still could've won means we just have to do so much right.

AB and Suggs can lock down some guards.

I’m primarily looking at our bench… 0/15 from deep. Just a few of those shots going in would have made this an easy win. It’s not like our bench is giving us defense either. What an embarrassing performance by them.

Yep, it’s not a coincidence that great guards have ‘off nights’ against us.

We are down 5 rotational players. Bench is going to be majorly impacted.

True, I did forget we had like 6 players out lol.. but the fact that our shooting has only looked good versus weak defensive teams is a bit concerning.. but glad they pulled it out tonight, teams definitely feel us when they play against us
