Game 9: Bucks at Knicks - 11/8/24 - 6:30 - FDSWI

Knicks have lost 2 straight. Bucks on a B2B. Does Giannis play after missing a game earlier this week? He played 30 minutes against Utah. Dame played 37.

Giannis does love playing in NY. The McEnroe reaction at the end is priceless.

Knicks favored by 7.5.

Getting this team ready for a second night of a b2b almost feels like an impossible task. Will be mildly impressed if we can win this one.

The aura of comeback is real, lets do this!

We'll get plenty of Mr. Knick reliving the glory days.

I liked our starting lineup tonight. But this team has to be comfortable going small for stretches to maximize our defense and speed.

No Brook and Bobby lineups - just get killed defensively. No lineups where Pat is expected to be the lead ballhandler. Hell, no lineups with Pat at all.

I want to see more Rollins playing lead guard with the second unit. Hell, put Rollins next to Dame for some possessions if you need to go small.

More AJax and Green, obviously.

And I've been clamoring for this for a while, but I want to see Giannis play the five for a stretch surrounded by the youth.

Any reason why doc isn't playing Wright?

He hasn't been good but Jackson and Green have been. They seem to have displaced him for now.

Such a bad matchup for Lopez.

A loss here would set up for another loss to the Celtics. Is 2-8 bad enough to make changes?

We can win this one. For some reason, the Knicks suck.

Good call, staff needs to suit up for this one. It's personal & professional.

Dame’s gotta stay aggressive and hunt KAT every minute he’s on court. Without a traditional defensive 5 out there to help him he really should be food for Dame.

Not ideal that we're playing Dame such a heavy minutes load, but I can't say it isn't necessary considering the offense sucks without him. Would like to see Giannis absolutely eviscerate their paint defense considering how bad the Towns fit has been so far defensively (26th in opponent eFG% allowed, and 29th in opponent 2PT FG%).
