It’s Thibs’ stubbornness. Even though I’m not a big fan of Bridges, he’s arguably our 2nd best playmaker in the starting lineup but Thibs gave those duties to Hart and relegated Bridges to the corner. I was excited to see the big lineup of Brunson/Bridges/OG/KAT/Mitch bc it would’ve given more playmaking opportunities to Bridges.



Not just that but our defense would be....good, dunno why he won't play the bigs together

That said, they're a little dinged up right now. No Grant, Ayton, or Timelord.

I'll be there.

Any chance of face time?

This could be a tougher game than people expect, Clingan and Camara are going to be all-defense guys in the future, Camara may make it this year. Expect Clingan on Hart, and Camara on KAT.

Guan0 called me crazy when I said Camara was an elite defender :nonono: really nasty person.

Probably not. We went a little further back but more central than we usually do. Last year we were four rows back in one of the corners so probably got some by default. Those seats were too cheap to pass up. Probably the last year of that.

Saving it for Cleveland maybe?

I want to see it too, watch Kat play some PF. KAT could feed Mitch for some dunks better than most of our guys too

We need a screenshot of every Knick jersey when the camera pans to the crowd. Then we can use deduction to identify and unmask Mr O.


There was a post picture thread awhile back that I contributed to. The Cap pic exists :o It was right after my first kid was born too so I'm looking pretty good.

Iirc, this was it:

My goal for next year is to be right there with you. Blazers scare me a bit with their defense, especially at home.

Let's see what strategy coach Tucker has up his sleeve to get the Knicks this dub.

These wily Blazers will not just lay down. I expect to see inspired Knicks team ball and some defensive surprises.

Knicks will win because Thibs is always prepared for every game. He is the pinnacle of coaching and lives and breathes basketball allowing his players to always be in the best position to play their best basketball. COY!
