without Tatum Derek White is getting absolutely exposed as a defender. He' always been overrated but now people are seeing just how much . Maxey cooked him bad all game.

Dude just isn’t very good. Philly kept making timely shots and the C’s blew it late. Going to lose a lot of games like this this season.

76ers know how to draft scoring guards.

Miles McBride is a keeper for the Knicks if they can make it happen. Do you like any of the bench players?


agree mcbride is a keeper. kolek showed some good flashes tonight too. i thik yabu is a good fit on paper but just needs to get into a groove. and jemison i think could be a decent backup center in the league.

Mike Brown will gain more respect with the Knicks. He is a solid coach.

I would like to shout out the Hornets players today, 10 played in the game and 9 scored double-digits. You don't see that very often!
Cheers

76 games away from a historic season 82-0

We have to factor in the teams that will opt to preemptively forfeit in favor of suffering utter humiliation on national TV.

Not good couldn’t get any lift on his legs. I don’t think he jumped if at all during the game. It is sad

refs tried so hard to give that to the Celtics. Oubre was in the air and threw it off Pritchard's foot. Then they didn't start the clock on time on that last second shot. NBA isn't fooling anyone
