Makes one wonder if he has been tapped on the shoulder by Leon Rose ot someone in the Knicks Front Office not to run their starters into the ground

Who could have suspected then when he had bench players who could hold a lead, he'd use them more?

I am glad your rookie Kolek is starting to shine with more minutes and trust in him, our rookie Baylor Schierman is starting to come good too (he wasn't ready at the start of the season)

Bronny is starting to show signs of being an good player too.

Think the G League has been fantastic for these later first round/second round draft picks for their development. Adam Silver gets a lot of criticism but he deserves for that at least.

Atlanta is a very low key good defensive team.. just needed to cut the fat and retain the right personnel.

Kolek's definitely made progress from his earlier stints, but he still needs a lot of work before he's ready to be a regular. Could be a real player once he is ready though.

SGA is never beating the free throw merchant allegations.

I like that line-up

Jerome
Strus
Hunter
Wade
Mobley

Draymond is so useless without Curry, most overrated player of all-time. Wish I could look into a crystal ball and see how his career would've went on any other team.

Can a Cavs fan tell me what brought on this weak stretch of play? I have playoff bets to start considering, and they’re confusing me.

It's a couple fold.

Mitchell injured his groin again, it is the same injury he had in the 2023 playoffs and tried to play through it. Checkout his shooting efficiency in the Cavs 4 game losing streak, he's a shell of himself.

The West Coast schedule was brutal, 3 games in 4 nights and 5 in 7.

Just terrible timing for both things. The last point is the Cavs getting weak on the defensive glass. That is why Knicks fans pray they meet the Cavs at some point in the 2025 playoffs. The assumption is Robinson would be a bully and own the glass again, if he could play enough MPG.

SGA has 4 FTAs in the first half = free throw merchant. Come on man,this is getting ridiculous.

These threads are not the same without jaqua insisting in how fraudulent okc is and how hard we will be exposed

Blowout wins dont hit the same

Rockets are 10-1 in their last 11 games.

Something about them is still making me reluctant to consider them as legit contenders, maybe lack of seasoned playoff experience from their young Stars.

Still it's good to see H-Town firmly back in the playoffs again, very good and successful rebuild post Harden era

It’s got nothing to do with his attempts. I posted that in response to the play he ran where his sole intent was to get fouled.

He’s not the only player that does it, he admits to doing it, I don’t know why people get so defensive.

A quarter of his points come from FT, 8 per game. What do you expect people to say?

If we get Houston against Minnesota or Golden State in round 1, I think a lot of people pick against Houston.

Great to see Lakers drop down to 5th, with a few more dicey road games to come

I would definitely pick the Clippers and or Lakers in a series against The Rockets.

Since 2000 of all the players that have averaged 32 or more ppg....SGA averages the 2nd LEAST amount of free throws.

What do i expect? I expect people to at least not lie.
