Cade is out too :o



A first round match up versus Detroit with how this team has looked with and without Brunson is not ideal.


We struggle the most against teams full of athletic wings and bigs. Detroit is not an easy out these days

Giannis probably pushes his way onto a team with another star.

Don't be surprised if he tries to force his way here.

With Brunson we smoke them, they're just too young and untested, plus Playoff Tobias is someone you should always bet against :lol: (Sorry Buzz)

You're probably right. Brunson will die on the floor before losing in the first round. :lol:

You know where my doubt comes from. It isn't the players.

Yo Thibs supporters can spin anything happening in the league to reflect kindly on Thibs. The level of ingenuity it takes to troll to that extent is masterful.

OG or Lance Thomas?


Thomas The Tank Engine

OG looks super clumsy driving the ball but it sometimes works. I can't say the same for Lance.


My theory about OG is he's so naturally muscle bound he lacks some kind of compensating strength in his joints. His knees give out several times a game, more so on offense than defense. A lot of his athletic ability is in his hands and his feet which are where he excels at moving reactively on defense. But when he tries to link it all together proactively on offense he looks less coordinated. It's how nature put him together.

We have a lead right now because of Kolek? :lol:

We literally lost last game because he started in the 2nd half and couldn’t even match Cam Payne production. Now he’s getting outplayed by Delon Wright. All that crying because of a 4th stringer

Was thinking the same thing. This is one of those all defense lineups and the offense will just be the players figuring it out for themselves.

Offense is always that just better players figuring it out themselves

The Knicks actually started to lose the lead when Payne came back in the 2nd quarter. The starters and Kolek kept it even until the end of the 3rd when the bench came. The lead deficit went from 2 points to 10 in a little over 1 minute. In the end I really have no idea how much of that had to do with Kolek but I know you don't care :D

Hart and Wright both not being able to shoot really kills whatever offense it is that Thibs doesn't run
