I don’t blame him for jinxing us, though.
I’m just amazed by his prescience..

Randle is a basket case without Brunson on the court to take some of the pressure off him.

2. RJ teased us again. He used to do it by shooting well for few games and then going back to RJ. This time he had an acceptable basketball IQ for a few games and then went back to RJ.

3. The good news is that Grimes appears capable of more than being a distant 4th option.

4. Thib’s use of Obi is a crime against humanity.

5. Quick may be our best 2 way player, but his inconsistent streaky shooting is a bit of an issue and we need his scoring in the 2nd unit. So when he starts, it’s a problem.

6. 5 minutes into the game you could see they were tired from the back to back and weren’t going to play well.

7. Orlando is sneaky good.

Before the season began, I said that the Knicks’ best case scenario was fluking into the #5 seed, and that’s pretty much exactly what has happened (“fluke” because it has only happened because of Durant and Kyrie blowing the Nets up, otherwise, the Nets would have easily finished #5 or better). So a best case scenario season where they didn’t have to trade for a big star? That’s very nice.

The #5 seed seems to still be fine for the Knicks. Today’s loss was a pain in the ass, but the Nets are struggling just as much, so the #5 seed should be fine, and ending the year as the #5 would be a great result for the Knicks.

Normally we out-rebound the other team and keep TOs low. We’re not suddenly going to become a great-shooting team, so those are the factors we need to control. Tonight TOs and Rebounds were even. Not a winning formula for us.

TOs have something to do with missing Brunson, but the rebounds are an effort stat. Not a good sign.
