    Good morning, all!

    “They probably can replace Jemison and Brooks as two ways with late second rounders, but I don’t know who they would cut to make way for two full contracts.”

    Not sure who the hell “Brooks” is. I hope to G-d this isn’t supposed to be Dillon Jones, because we never had Dillon Brooks (thank G-d!).

    I’m trying to rationalize myself into thinking that getting the Hawks over the Raps is a good thing—better prep for the subsequent rounds, KAT and Mitch should feast, etc.—but it’s not going very well. I really wanted an easy first-round series for us, for once.

    You are correct, I meant Dillon Jones.

    I don’t think Hawks instead of the Raptors is a good thing, but I console myself thinking that last year the Celtics had a great edge over us in the regular season and it didn’t do them any good in the playoffs. So maybe our regular season edge over the Raptors wouldn’t have done us any good either.

    I’m worried beyond worry that the “bad Knicks” will show up for one of the first two games at the Garden, putting us behind the 8-ball. We seem to really like to do that to ourselves, for some reason.

    The Raptors were definitely a better match-up for us than the Hawks will be. But if Towns keeps playing like he has recently, we’re going to win. They have nobody who can match up with him, even if Daniels and their other tall guys can make life more difficult for Brunson.

    From the last thread:

    “Definitely heard some cheers coming from the Raps room when Garza hit the game-winner for Boston, but RJ Barrett insists they didn’t have a preference between Cleveland or New York. He played (and beat) the Cavs in the 4-5 matchup when he was with the Knicks in 2023”

    Teams not wanting to play the Knicks, what kind of strange world is this?? LOL

    The Raptors were definitely a better match-up for us than the Hawks will be. But if Towns keeps playing like he has recently, we’re going to win. They have nobody who can match up with him, even if Daniels and their other tall guys can make life more difficult for Brunson.

    I agree. I hope we’re not going to see Brunson wasting precious energy bringing the ball up court against full court pressure.

    I am really agnostic about who we meet, but if I had to choose I would rather it be the Hawks. I like having a tougher opponent in the first round, even if it means playing a game or two more.

    I’m not really worried about our bigs versus theirs. I’m more worried that their guards and wings (Dyson, NAW, and McCollum) will just kill us. We’ll really need the Deuce of last night to show up, both on offense and defense. I really wanna blow them out on Saturday night to put them on their heels.
