we shouldn't be worried about DET or MIL...if we lose to either of them its a disaster.

they pretty much have no shot to beat BOS. They have enough guard defenders to throw on brunson and there entire team can shoot.

CLE at least we can play the big lineup. We can throw OG and Mikal on there smaller guards and hope they have some bad shooting nights. And Mobley and Allen aren't really 3 pt threats.

The Knicks aren't going to fall to 4 on purpose...it would have to be organically.


and they just might. i see a couple more non gmo vegan gluten free ass kickin's in our future.

Thibs is not ready for the playoffs. Our bench doesn’t have any consistency and confidence that our head coach will stick with it. He plays Russian roulette with this bench and we all know the outcome.

i agree but quite frankly.. the bench kinda sucks talent wise


I agree with you on that but a little too late for him to be pulling Wright into the lineup looking for a miracle. Might as well put PJ Tucker in there for a distraction since he wants to play Russian roulette with this roster. Haven’t you noticed how Thibs coaches scared when we are up 15-20 points with less than 5 minutes left.

Why are we the only top team in the league who can't win a game without their best player against a winning opponent?

Probably a win if Cam Payne plays. You need a viable pg to win in the NBA most of the time

We have no depth and cant afford anyone to go down unless you still think Kolek is Oscar Robertson

the problem to me is we have a glut at the guard spot and very little seperation in talent level after brunson. duece/payne/kolek/wright all similar level of players and have their own strengths and weaknesses. we would’ve been better served this off season trying to acquire some wing depth behind og and bridges and maybe a big who can defend and score somewhat reliably

At this rate, I’d rather stay out of Boston’s way but who knows
This year is a throwaway of crap

if you spend a lot on a starting lineup you can't afford a bench in today's nba. you gotta make do with cheap pieces. i see no way they can really add much salary to this roster for next season.

That’s why you gotta Start Mitch and deuce, shift Hart and Mikal to the bench with deuce and precious to balance the lineups

Kolek deserves no flak. For playing his first big mintes? Kolek had what 1 turnover in 2 games? Playing HUGE minutes in a pinch.
And well on defense, I might add. Wait till he gets his legs under his shot, huh, lights out.

These people here are bugging.


Just remember that those people who are annoying you tonight live boring lives.

They really have nothing more meaningful to do with their time than trolling so have pity on them.

TJ Warren wouldn't play either.


Jordan wouldnt play. :D

We didn't have a center, Donte has missed 19 games this season after his 1 year in the Thibs Terrordome left him with nagging injuries, and Randle has been bad + needed an extension. Under no circumstance was giving Randle an extension something they wanted to do.

Well that tells me it's most likely a coaching issue.
