as much as i want josh hart back on the floor (and its kind of odd that hes not as his injury several games back didnt look that bad) i dont think that hes going to affect our overall defense all that much we need to 1) defend the 3 much much better and also 2) start hitting our own 3s at a good clip again

I’ve long felt that Mazzula is a really good coach OUTSIDE the game, and man, he has done an amazing job with the Celtics.

In-game, he falls apart way too much. Guys like Spoelstra are just wunderkinds, in that they excel at both.

Mike Brown’s defense is clearly the Knicks biggest problem. It’s worse than Venezuella. He’s a genuine big teddy bear. Need Josh Hart back asap. Their body language tonight was terrible. Just looked tired and defeated.

I wonder how the sixers got edgecombe

Yup. Tanking

The biggest problem with the draft and lottery is none of the things that usually get discussed. It’s when a “very good team” has a lot of injuries, tanks the season and adds still another star.

The Pacers could do that this year and make a good comeback next year.

I’m not sure what Dallas is going to do this year. It depends on Davis’s health and when/if Kyrie comes back but they got Flagg because Davis and Kyrie were hurt last year. They would be one of the best teams in the west if they were all healthy. If they decide to tank this season and add another very good player, they’ll be a contender next year.

This is an ugly loss. Maxey outplayed Brunson by a large margin.

This is not a surprise as Maxey gets way less love than Brunson.

Kolek isn’t a bad defender

The Sixers are paying Embiid 60 million plus until the next election. They are in the bone zone, and their front office is dumb.

The tanking argument once again is moot since we basically lucked into JB being a generational talent and needed to build around him.

Also tanking requires a good scouting department that we don’t have unless it’s 2nd round sleepers.

The 76ers are going to be a tough out in the event they stay healthy.

Agreed.

They won’t, though.

But yes, eventually they will surround Maxey and Edgecombe with other players, and that will suck. But that will be a while from now, at least, the Knicks just need to win a title before then!
