Knicks need a 8+ lead going into the 4th. Glad Thibs switched it up.
Abolish the draft. Abolish the rookie scale. Make teams try to win.

Pacers are generating amazing looks against this lineup, but they are not hitting the open looks

The Knicks have actually had more space, not less, with Robinson here.That's the beauty of Towns spacing with a good screener and vertical threat in Robinson.

I really hope that the Knicks can make this a series tonight, as the TWolves did last night.

Pacers are getting open looks but they can run against this lineup with all those offensive rebounds. So far so good for the knicks

Without Pascal in his face, OG is already way more effective on offense. He just dwarfs Nembhard.

Biggest underrated part of Mitch starting that won’t show up on a stat sheet, his screens are effective cause havoc

The key for the Knicks is to turn Pascal into an iso player.
