TraeBae really does own NY...

On that note... will NY come into our house and finally give us our first home loss?

Riley traded Shaq, Wade, Alonzo when they got old. Business is business.

Meanwhile…

Welp Knicks on Sunday then

Knicks were bricking their shots against the Hawks, they were making off balanced shots against us.

It happens.

Whatever the over/under is in the @Knicks game, one has to LOVE the under. I expect a 90s style of game.

Hawks are tricky. They have enough good individual defenders (Hunter, Capela, Okonwgu , Daniels) , on ball Risacher is very, very good defender, especially for a rookie.

And in same time Young, Bogdanovic, Johnson are talented enough to cook on offense.

Plus, Young is to Knicks what Jokić is to Lakers, guy enjoys beating them :lol:

Is the Sunday game a home game simply so that the Knocks and the Magic have 41 home and 41 road games?

Indeed, if the Hawks had lost, the Magic would have played 42 road games and 40 home games; correct?

The Hawks missed 61 FGAs and won the game. Wild.

In total, this game had 197 FGAs.

Yup their defenders are long like ours. Perfect to defend against one of the best offense of the league. Difference was, knicks circus shots went in against us while it didnt against them.

And yeah... TraeBae is NY's daddy. I mean... the media quotes are just tailor-fit to put him up there next to MJ and Reggie Miller as NY's villains

Life isn't fair example 10000000000000000000000001:Prichard sigs one of cheapest backup PG contracts in nba and becomes best backup guard in nba, frontrunner for 6th man award and plays like Step Curry.

Rich get richer.

Why does Jordy Fernandez keep getting into these scuffles with opposing players? It’s really not a good look. First Goga and Suggs, now Ja lol

the Lakers have had internal conversations about Fultz, the former first-overall pick who hasn't lived up to his draft position but was solid last season playing for the Orlando Magic.

This report must have been paid by Fultz's agent, nobody in the world actually believes he was solid last season.
