Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Boston Septics Sat, Feb 08, 2025 8:30pm

I recall him talking slick in a very passive aggressive manner.

You're probably talking about him calling a playoff game during the Knicks/Pacers series. He gave the NBA what they wanted. He has said it multiple times that player-Reggie and commentator-Reggie aren't the same guy. He's backed that up many times because he doesn't lean in any particular direction. He was on the JB wagon from the get-go.

he said something about owning MSG when he broadcast here during that series

Yep. Like I said, giving the NBA what they wanted. I mean, the crowd was chanting his name.

Maybe the NBA wanted that. I certainly didn't want to listen to that dude covertly root for his overrated Pacers while I'm trying to enjoy the game. But its whatever.

If Boston goes on a losing streak, do they become a Septics Tank?

[BKlutch]

Assuming OG is still out, who's going to defend Krispaps Prospingus? We can no longer throw Sims at him.

[WaltFrazier]

Wish OG were playing, would be a true measuring stick at 100% health.

Or at least I wish a newly acquired 6'8 forward was playing

Anyone Sims could guard, Huk can guard

If you like winning, this is a game you should skip

you have a talent for finding new ways to dunk on us

If Boston goes on a losing streak, do they become a Septics Tank?

Only 3games untilAllstar break. Very likely Mitchwill be playing 1stgame right after the break Feb 20 or shortly thereafter.

OG no reason to play him in any of these games unless he is 100%healthy and no risk to return.

Mitch and OG did some of Practice today

For OG he did parts of practice and took some contact but not much yet..

On Mitch:

Ian Begley
@IanBegley
Mitchell Robinson (foot) has made progress in practice, has been able to do ‘quite a bit’, Tom Thibodeau said. Robinson is not doing 5-on-5 scrimmaging yet, Thibodeau said


James L. Edwards III
@JLEdwardsIII
Thibs when asked if New York not adding a center says something about how they feel about Mitch: "You read the tea leaves," he said with a smile

Looks this is a Thibs call. Smh.

Dude loves his one dimensional centers.

Mitch is not nearly as one dimensional as Sims was. Mitch can score around the basket pretty well with congestion . Sims can only score when he is basically by himself under the basket or on an alley oop.

Mitch with all the scoring options around him we have is most definitely playable.

We made the playoffs under Thibs with a lineup of:

Mitchell
Randle
Bullock
RJ Barrett
Elfrid Payton

And this teams defense was the main reason.

Imagine.....

Mitchell
KAT
OG
Bridges
Brunson

Light years better....

Mitchell = Mitchell
KAT >> Randle
OG >> Bullock
Bridges > Barret
Brunson >>> Payton

It's a shame fans don't appreciate defense and buy up those Brunson jerseys.

Wont be true measuring stick 100% until both OG and MITCH are playing.

Based on your past predictions...you don't like winning
