Historically, this franchise doesn't win statement games like this on national tv, and I don't expect that to change tonight. And I don't even think it would be some terrible loss or anything. We've been on an amazing run and we're bound to lose a game again at some point. The Knicks are (presumably) a good team and we're on the road. Losing always sucks but I'm prepared to lose this one.

But boy would it be exciting if they proved me wrong.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Offense Vs Defense tonight.

Leagues best offense by ortg (NYK) vs 3rd best defense by drtg (ORL).

#22 ranked defense by drtg with 114.6 (NYK) vs the #22 ranked offense with 110.7 (ORL). Their defense should give our offense a +4 advantage.

#6 netrg (NYK) with +6.5 vs #8 (ORL) with +6.3

Can our defense stifle their offense enough that our weak offense can get an advantage from their weaker defense?

Yeah.. lets get real.

Recently, our history shows that 1.) National TV games 2.) Important statement games arenpur kryptonite.

Meaning we more often than not **** the bed.

Still it would be great if we breal the trens and actually win. But not expecting.

Big one…Laker win was big but ORL has a lot to prove beyond beating up tankers. I’m not being critical- they look great, but that’s the reality of the scheduled opponents during the streak. This could be a huge couple of weeks if we can battle it out against contenders while Paolo gets right.

I figured he’d be out. Surprised that he wasn’t out sooner. So no rim protector tonight, alright.
