Cole Anthony looks great on both ends. This charge he drew while fighting through a screen was incredibly impressive.

Maxey is really good. He doesn't make mistakes, he's fast, he can finish.

Sorry Knicks haters, but Immanuel Quickley may be the steal of the draft. He was the primary factor in the Knicks second half comeback from down 15 tonight. And he outplayed “MVP” Trae Young in that stretch.

Payton Pritchard had 23 points and 8 assists off the bench for the Celtics tonight against the Raptors. Crafty as hell and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands.

Payton Pritchard with 23 points and 8 assists today. Does not play like a rookie.

Because we see how much fun Philly fans have being obnoxious and want a little fun in our lives too...even though we realize that we're not as good at it yet as y'all

He’s going to be better than Nesmith, who can’t stay on the floor because of his defense. Ainge should have never traded that pick, keeping freakin Carson Edwards and Javnte Green to warm the bench was more important.

At least we got Pritchard. Hopefully Nesmith can come along a bit.

That was from his 1st game back from injury; in his 2nd game back (tonight) he put up 16 pts in 19 minutes shooting 4-7 (2-3 on 3s + 6-6 FT) with 2 rebounds, an assist, a steal & a block...which is why we are excited right now.
And it's not like his shooting is some abberation.

I watched the game. I thought he looked good. I just was replying to the quicksanity thing lol. and knicks fans just do this every year (remember Allonzo Trier?)
but yes, the young fella looked good and I liked him giving Trae a taste of his own medicine getting the foul on the 3. hope he keeps it up.

I'm basing my observation off of the eye test not just stats (even though stats paint Quick in a very favorable light). He got all his stats in 18 minutes in the second half after we were down 14 to seal the game. He barely played in the first half.
He might not be ROY, but the way he has been scoring, if he keeps it up he is going to be in the conversation especially if Thibs gives him the starting job. It's not like any other rookie has been blowing it out the park. Tyrese is probably winning ROY right now and he is averaging 10.6 PPG. Quickley is averaging more than that in literally half the minutes lol

I think the problem we have is that non-Knicks fans take everything we say seriously when a lot of the time we're just joking around / enjoying the moment...there's obviously a lot of nuts who get way too mad about grown men playing a children's game, we've got a huge fanbase, but a lot of things that people say "oh knicks fans" to are just running jokes from our board/knicks-twitter.
Like right now we have an "is RJ a future HOFer" thread on the first page of our team board...but that's a joke thread that was made to troll the overly reactionary Knicks fans who started an "is RJ a bust?" thread after the Toronto game; not something any of us seriously thinks.
And that's what the "Quicksanity" posts are about. We're excited for the kid and having fun joking about "how obvious his impending stardom is."

He should be starting. Thibs might like the change of pace he brings off the bench tho. He’s legit

Quickley looks incredible. Thibs got to start this young man.

He does not always make good decisions though.
