Good end to a good first half.

Mitch, be ok

Poor start, about six-seven minutes, and not very inspiring finish of the first half as well. We played well in between, except guarding Ingram. He is the one keeping Toronto in the game.

It really feels like the Knicks want to play this in hard difficulty with this starting lineup. It doesn’t work!

Spurs taking their anger out on the 76ers tonight similar to what Knicks did to Philly after the Pacers loss.

Brown is gonna have an interesting dilemma if and when Deuce comes back. Whose minutes does he take?

we continue to win games and play well – at some point though josh needs to come off the bench and have shamet start…

started late thanks to a long afternoon nap (did a bunch of gardening this morning and wore myself out)…

just finished watching the first quarter…it’s been a while since I’ve heard clyde call a game, so this game is already a win…

Considering the Knicks opponent tomorrow it would behoove them not to blow this game.

I don’t like that we aren’t putting this game away. The Knicks should be up 12 but making a lot of mistakes

I want to thank the Raptors for switching Shead on Brunson instead of Barnes.

It’s crazy, Barnes had completely shut him down.

Shamet is 5-11.

Josh Hart, that shithead, is 4-5 from the field, with 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Bench him!!!!!

Raptors scored 13 fourth quarter points with less than a minute left. That says it all.

Whichever team draws Toronto in the 1st rd should be given an automatic bye to the 2nd rd.

Well that was a hell of a finish. They played that last 3 minutes like they played the entire game the other night

Josh Hart, that shithead, is 4-5 from the field, with 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Bench him!!!!!

And one of the finest passes to Bridges for a jam that you’ll ever see.

The defense has been awesome. Some of it is 3PT shooting, but what a turnaround. They are close to being a top-5 defense.

Hart’s intermittent unwillingness (or inability) to shoot can be annoying, but he was a whirling dervish tonight.

If there’s a positive to be gained by dropping to the 4th seed it’s drawing Toronto in the 1st rd.

what makes josh so special is that although he’s lost confidence in his 3 point shot – he has another “intensity” level which he can rise to…

his defensive impact has increased, back to rebounding and passing well…

I really liked how our bench performed tonight. Jose was dishing and playing good annoying defense. Shamet was running all over. I like that he also has looked to drive some the last few weeks. Keeps other team honest. Mitch did Mitch things. Mo was good.

another solid job on the call by tyler murray, one of these days need to tune in to monica and tyler do a radio broadcast for a game…

one that clyde himself is not announcing, of course…

can’t remember a deeper knick team, we are currently 9 strong, with deuce on the mend…

We can finally say we are a respectably deep team. I wish we had that the last two seasons.

I also like how Mike Brown has experimented with different combinations during the season. Like tonight. Went double small with Alvarado and Brunson. Also did double big for a few with Mitch and Towns.

I said this in an earlier post but the cohesiveness of this team right now is what really impresses me. They’re tied together on defense, and on offense finding each other over and over on cuts

Don’t know where all this came from but it’s a joy to watch.

Diawara is not out of the woods so I’m reluctant to think of him as legit “depth” but Mitch, Shamet, and Jose are certainly legit.

Hope they have a lotta more for tomorrow night.
