Saturday 2/24 NBA Game Thread

I kinda wish Randle and OG were playing tonight. C's have won the first 3 meetings vs NYK this year but it's always a fun and competitive game between them. I don't think we've played them since the OG trade and it's a potential playoff preview, so it would have been cool to see both teams at full strength tonight.

I hope they are healthy for the Magic game coming up. The Magic won the first 3 this season. It could be a potential 4th and 5th seed matchup.

Looks like Paolo might've gotten away with a travel but clutch shot

Thanks for making me laugh...

But also makes me sad to think you believe this....

Oh the world is in an interesting place...

Haters going to hate.

Brooklyn's roster has so much potential on defense. Crazy they've only been 21st on that end this year.

I don't get it. They've crushed the magic this year.

Spencer Dinwiddie and Cam Thomas getting so many minutes for the team definitely didn't do their defense any favors. They certainly are capable of throwing out a really nasty defensive lineup if they wanted to, though

I mean imagine if Simmons/Bridges/DFS/Claxton had played more than 40 minutes this season.

At the beginning of the season, I projected Brooklyn as a top 10 defense (and bottom 5 offense). Like you say, Thomas and Dinwiddie being top 3 in minutes total (and injuries to Simmons and everyone else) have changed that projection pretty drastically.

Knicks are better but they still suffer from the same thing as last year. They don’t have another consistent scorer outside of Brunson.

Brother we were missing OG who could lock up one of your best players, and Randle our 2nd option, and Mitchell Robinson our defensive anchor who would've had like 30 offensive rebounds this game...

I'm not saying the Celtics aren't better than Knicks well healthy, because even still if Celtics are on and hitting their 3s they are, but you can't really make any conclusive statements based off this specific game imo.

OG isn’t locking up Tatum

Apparently you haven't seen OG play

Seen him play plenty of times.

He doesn’t lock up Tatum.
