[Landsberger]

Kuz playing garbage time...lol

Yeah... you figure he'd be benched for hurting Davis....

Lol alright time to take your Ovaltine, old man. Go to sleep.

Settle down kiddie... big boys can admit when they overreact.

[Landsberger]

Somehow this Knicks team scored 132 on the Clippers... That seems like it would take 2 games based on what we saw tonight.

Honestly how will Davis be able to survive four rounds of physical playoffs ball, when he's built like a Skelton and pjsyciallality only increases literally a hard hit to his shooting hand will break a finger or two, I can't even comprehend being 6 10 223 ever (that's how much he was his Rookie season, he has put some muscle on he's up to 253 now) but he won't ever be able on change the way his frame is maybe he needs to start being more careful with his play style and protecting himself more I know that's that's pretty Unjeard of for someone so young but man dude is not built to be every where every second it's puts his body in harm all the time.

You make it sound like he's injury prone or something... Dude just DGAF... He throws his body at dudes to protect the paint, like he's a scrub fighting for a roster spot. I thought he was fragile before I watched him this season too... But he's the farthest thing from that possible. He just seems to only know how to play the game physically. Tonight, he attacked Randle, got the block but got knocked to the court in the process... Not much anyone can do about that.

aD got butt hurt

[LAKESHOW]

Nice

[Spanish_Laker]

Our defense is looking legit once again. Proud of the guys. I hope AD's injury is not serious.

[footworkonpoint]

He's not prone to major injury but he is prone to injuries because of his frame and play style that's what I'm syimg he's never played a full season before, I know we go as far as he takes us that's my main point maybe he shouldn't be throwing his body around everywhere he's not built for it.
If you look at his injury history it's all fractured hand, finger sprains, contusions, sprained shoulders, strained shoulders etc obviously because his frame can't handle the beating he takes from guys way stronger then him on his frame which is made like a twig, and combine that with his ability to be everywhere at all times on both ends of the floor I don't see how it doesn't lead injury. I love AD I just don't wna see a solution he can get stronger and out on muscle he has he went from 610 223 to 253 now but his is still a twig. I can't even comprehend that because I am 6 4 3+235 myself with a pretty low body fat (not that matters) 6 10 223 his bone structure must be tiny.

I agree. He is always falling. Seems like he can't control his momentum. Maybe lacking core and lower body strength.
There might be some protective advantage to falling though, possibly preventing knee/ankle injuries which would require longer absences. I remember back in the Day when Shaq was learning how to fall in a controlled and safe manner, but he was like 350lbs lol.

It's always time for the great taste of Ovaltine.

[LAKESHOW]

Ovaltine. I havent taken that since i was a kid, thought it was nestle quik chocolate powder

[Landsberger]

I prefer Geritol to Ovaltine....

[Kilroy]

This was a shady ass game for the Knicks... I think they had an agenda to be physical with us but even though it didn't seem like that big a deal during the game, there were just way too many shady plays where our guys ended up on the ground for it not to be a game plan... KCP, McGee, AD...

Other thing I thought... The Refs don't seem to be protecting guys driving to the basket anymore. There seems to be a stark difference between how and-1s are being given out on drives this year vs last year... Hard to figure other than the league going full 'white man' and living at the 3pt line now.
Have to hope that changes in the post season, because I don't think I've ever seen a superstar like LeBron getting hacked this much and not getting calls... Certainly have never seen LeBron himself not get these calls.
Harden ain't getting his usual calls either, but Doncic is already getting Chicago MJ calls... And the league is making global statements about rough play against him.... Pretty blatant out with the old in with the new agenda...

That along with the completely random replay decisions, it's just a really frustrating year to watch from an officiating standpoint..
