hopefully we can beat the Hawks next week…

then there’s a back to back with the Sixers, without embiid…right after that the Blazers…

we are not likely to beat the Cavs or Magic…

The two biggest stars in the NBA (Lebron and Steph) come to MSG and end up playing a depleted Knick team. That is an L for Adam Silver and the fans in attendance.

95% of casual fans who tune in to watch LeBron and/or Curry don’t even know who Julius Randle is, let alone Mitch Robinson or OG Anunoby. And nobody checks the Washington General’s injury report before a Globetrotter’s game either.

I am looking at the big picture. It is expected that most of the injured Knicks will be back in the second half of March, but that does not mean the team will be the same as the one which spread terror around the NBA in January. Only OG will probably get to 100% at some point. Randle’s game is predicated on physical battles down low using his shoulders, but it is not certain at all that he will be able to do that after the injury. I start to have doubts about I-Hart’s status as well. It looks like this is a lingering injury which will keep him in and out throughout the rest of the season. I hope I am wrong. As of Mitch, nobody knows if he will be back. Even if he does, it will certainly take many games before he gets to his usual self. The best-case scenario, in my view, is that the Knicks should start playing winning basketball again for the last ten or so games of the regular season. That is in April.

We are at 35 wins right now and need probably another ten to be in the playoffs. It looks quite doable and probable, though not at all certain. There are only 22 games left to play. Finally, are we ever going to be 100% healthy in order to make the long expected post-season run?

The Warriors didn’t pay attention to the Knicks starting front court on offense all night long

I feel like we haven’t tried this since January 27.

Why are we so committed to this Twin Towers bullshit?

Our 5 best guys are Brunson, Devo, Hart, Bojan, Hartenstein.

Could we maybe try starting them one time?

But how does Achiuwa get his 42min????!!!!!

At least Deuce got the Burks minutes and Burks was relegated to Deuce minutes. WTF is wrong with Burks, how was DET juicing his numbers?

every time we needed to get a stop or a transition bucket we failed. So freaking frustrating

Totally frustrating game plus weird box score. It *felt like the Warriors got every single rebound, but we beat them 56/53 total and 17/16 offensive. The 3pt% and totals are roughly even, but they crushed us 56/42 in the paint. A lot of that was better cutting/passing (i.e. running an actual offense), but it certainly *looked way easier for them than it should have.

I’m with you there Hubert.

Well, at least I’m getting to watch my little baby Deuce grow up…

What if before the game is over we try putting the 5 best players on the court together?

I was at the game (lots of Warriors fans in attendance) and every time we needed to get a stop or a transition bucket we failed. So freaking frustrating

Can’t believe Steph was 11-26 but maybe it’s because every 3 he made was a gut punch.

And is Kuminga good now? We made him look like Hakeem.

Devo no bueno since the ASG.

I love him and he’s an excellent complementary piece, but it’s his 6th year in the league, maybe the “all-star” and “third star” tags were a little bit overboard… 😉
