The Hornets are terrible, although they probably have the Rookie of the Year on their squad right now, so that’s nice for them.
In any event, the clear point is that the Knicks really need to win this game, and SHOULD win this game.
Let’s go, Knicks!
Go for 58 as Thanksgiving we celebrate!

Mitch coming off the bench tonight, Deuce and Hart starting.
GoNY GoNY Go!
Z-man, I can imagine the players association insisting that players can’t be cut while injured to protect their members from being cut because of injuries. They also need the medical care when injured and it should be provided by the team.
I get that, but the team should be protected, too, in other words, maybe extend the deadline for guaranteeing the contract until after the player comes back, or give the team some other kind of out where the players still gets compensated without salary cap ramifications.
I was worried about Charlotte scoring 140 pts tonight I might’ve underestimated them….
What’s not to like about Josh Hart…
Nine points in 5 and a half minutes…
Thank goodness Brown replaced Josh with Yabu. That should improve things…
If enough players get injured there’s the hardship exception that lets you sign a another player on a 10-day contract without cap penalties.
There’s also the disabled player exception if they’re likely missing the rest of the year.
The league probably thinks these cover the teams, on top of having 3 extra players on 2-ways compared to earlier NBA teams.
But yeah, it’s weird you can’t cut them like normal but still keep them on the payroll till they’re healthy or the season ends. The NBA could add in a waiting period before the team can re-sign the player to avoid gaming the system.
Clarkson’s poor defense on real display so far.
Also some bad offense, just to make things match.
Josh Hart fucked up his finger just to fix his shot.
Ball is totally out of control…can’t imagine anyone likes to play with that dude
He shot 37% from 3 in the playoffs, largely (entirely?) with the splint on. So… maybe?
Somebody tape Mitch’s fingers together
I think the Knicks are motivated to win the NBA Cup.
Here i am. Let’s go Knicks!
KAT thinks Thibs is still the coach and so he commits stupid fouls to get a breather 😀
Nice pass from Kolek (to Bridges)!
Is that guys last name pronounced “nipple”?
Bridges so far 4-4 with 4 stocks
What a great season he’s having.
Run that score up!!!
What a pass by Hart !! 😮
Pepper, it’s worse. It’s pronounced “Ka-nipple.”
Not sure why that’s worse, but it is.
MVP Hart 😀
More fingers just mean more moving parts that might fuck up your shot
Give Peter Patton a huge bonus
I know its just the Hornets but that might be the most impressive 1st half of the season.
Hart should have broken his finger a long time ago.
gk, how’s the atmosphere there?
Hart at the half:
FG 7-9, 3P 3-3, FT 2-2, TRB 4, AST 4, STL 1, TO 1, PF 0 (zero!!), PTS 19
👏👏👏
