Great awareness by Hugo to know they had a foul to give.

Among the 3 of Mynot, Hugo, and Walsh, Hugo has the highest ceiling.

Jaylen giving some serious Paul Pierce

You can clearly see the lack of depth by this team. Hope they don’t run out of gas?

All in all, great 2nd quarter. Not sure why Joe gets away from him but Hugo really does need regular minutes. He just does.

That was one of the more fun quarters of the season, for sure.

Hugo, Walsh, Baylor, Amari.

Guys who Brad drafted looking pretty good this season.

Hugo is a joy to watch. Minott is fun too.

Well that was a roller coaster. One of the worst first quarters I've seen them play this year. Maybe the best 2nd quarter I've seen them play all year.

The defense from Hugo has been key, as has Jaylen relentlessly hunting Brunson. Lets see if the Knicks have any counters.

The Kid is good.
You can tell that he came in as a consummate professional.

There was one play where the defender was fronting him and Simons threw it over the top that really remind me of Paul.

I assume he’s talking about the Lnicks

I hope Brad moves Hauser. Open up more minutes for the kids. There just too many guys for everyone to consistently get minutes.

Best quarter of the season, absolutely loved the lineup Joe put out on the floor, Hugo got into KAT's head and messed with it. Jaylen has been phenomonal !

I thought he would be good in his 2nd/sophomore season. He has exceeded all my expectations.. future all defensive team potential. Kid is tough as nails.

Last season the Knicks just outworked the Cs in that playoff series.

KP was useless in that series.

Al was old and playing old.

Jrue was not right at that time.

Part of the reason why OKC is so dominant is they have guys like Dort, Wallace, and Caruso.
Those are guys that are not household names, but they make winning plays.

With Hugo, Walsh, and Mynot, the Cs now have guys that make winning plays.

Hauser will be super useful again once this team is back in contention. (His trade value will go up then too.)

Depth will be coming soon.

And it will keep coming once Tatum returns.

I agree. I like Hauser, but these young guys are better.
