Don't know if we gonna win or lose tonight but i like the team effort, specially from ANT. Just trade Randle and we will be fine. IT's so obvious...

Seems like madness that some people thought he was better than Towns.

I proposed a trade last year on the trade and NYK board. KAT for Randle and 5 firsts. That is how I see the difference.

BTW, most announcers talk about surviving the non Ant minutes. Tonight I think the bigger accomplishment is surviving the Randle minutes.

Donte needs to use his floater more instead of trying to drive all the way to the rim.

Even with KAT gone, the zebras still hate our guts.

6:43 4th quarter, Rudy does a quick screen to put KPJ behind Naz, then cuts to the basket to force Zu into 2 on 1. Big/Big PNR for a Naz floater.

Sick of Randle's nonchalance, sleepy demeanor, lack of urgency, thinking he is the ****.. that mentality just wears everyone down.

When hero ball is working for Ant it is spectacular.

Remember when I talked about high degree of difficulty shots, that was the Ant shot at 1:14. Heavily contested step back 3 that SHOULD not be taken. If it misses we are laminating hero ball BS. But, because it goes in, we live with it.

Just started the game after watching WWE raw for most the night…gotta tell you, not even interested in this game at all. 6 min in and don’t care at all.

Was never like this, not even during the Kahn/Rambis years.

0:37 seconds another no pass hero shot. Good if it works, if it doesn’t we probably lose the game.
