But the roster still has the rim protecting center on it in Mitch, right? Also, you like Hukporti a lot, why isn't he playing with KAT anymore, he gets 2-4 minutes, and his chain snatched never to be seen again, who is the man doing that to him? :o Who had such an amateur mistake tonight not calling a TO? A coaching change seemed to have helped the Cavs out a lot once they figured out their culture changer / winning coach JB Thibberstaff was not the man for the job.

I'm not the Drake in this situation, unfortunately for you I am what the culture is feeling, you've lost the industry on this one while millions are screaming "A-FIREEEEEE" as my song plays at the superbowl. I'll keep the light on for you so one day you can find your way home.

If you can't enjoy this winning Knicks team with whatever positives and negatives they may have then you deserve to be forced to live in a grounhog day world of watching Fizdale's Knicks for the rest of your life.

also interesting thought....some team are fouling up 6 with under like 20 seconds to go...the reason to do that is to keep a team from making it one possession. If you keep it 2 possession the game is basically over.

so we had a couple blunders...giving up the 3 to Niang up 3 was terrible. I think Precious got sucked into the paint on a Trae drive which makes no sense...give up a layup for all I care. You stay up 4...the game is still over.

That along with not calling a timeout up 3 under your own basket. Then KAT getting outrebounded on the missed FT.

Then the scramble and Hart foul....

I mean what a calamity.

But glad to at least have gotten the W.

Ok. Now that I fed the beast. It's a good win in spite of the HC. That's my take and I'm sticking to it. Thibs has to do better on several fronts if we want to get to the ECF/Finals. The reasons have been explained many times over. He either changes his ways or he needs to be fired. There is nothing else to say. He is the biggest flaw this team has at this point.

That said, he will have plenty of depth to work with after the break. There will be no more excuses for him after that. Mitch is supposed to be his secret sauce? We shall see. We know he will add QUALITY depth if he can stay healthy. It will be interesting to see who we add after March 1st as well. I have already called TJ Warren to the stage. He can certainly score and, we could use his size and scoring to help us win games and give Thibs more to work with. It's up to Thibs to make the right decisions. We can't have 9-10 guys rotting on the bench every night. We cannot have guys playing on dead legs the rest of the way. There is no excuse for it anymore. There should be more than enough bullets in the gun if everyone is healthy. No more 7-8 man rotations. None of the teams we need to beat operates this way. Neither should we. His job should depend on it,

This is todays’s NBA. Look at the scores each night. Some of the scores are in the 120s-130s and others are in the 90s. I think that this is just how the NBA goes these days for two reasons: (1) the 3 point shot, and (2) parity. I guess we could also add referee inconsistency as a third factor.

Exactly. We almost beat OKC in OKC. Would we feel that much better about ourselves if we had beaten them? I’m not worried. Let’s get OG and Mitch back and see where we are.

Our record against all opponents so far this season:

Over .500: 11-12
Under .500: 25-6

Top 3 Teams: 0-5
Bottom 7 Teams: 17-1
Rest of League: 19-12

You need to forgive people who have higher expectations. The team is built and paid in salary to win now - and by win we mean a title. We made all these flurry of moves. Ending up as a 2nd round exit again wouldn’t really be a success.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I am not afraid of anyone at full strength. We need to be fully healthy or we will be disappointed come playoff time. I am not a lunatic. I don't expect a championship this season at all. I don't think we are that far off though. My only issue is what the HC does the rest of the way. If we can get lucky like BOS did last year, anything is possible.
