I am worried about our next game against the Celtics. They have the best defensive backcourt in basketball and hardly ever lose games. Tatum and Brown are a menacing tandem. I do not see how we have enough to beat them.

Thanks!

I now take it as a lucky sign anytime you're worried about the opponent.

Here's what I don't get about Mitchell Robinson.

The dude went thru months of physical therapy. For obvious reasons, his running, jumping and physical contact could only increase at a slow, deliberate pace.

Why....why......why didn't he use the period to work on his foul shooting?

It was the ONE element of his game that he could improve while he was out.

And it's worse than ever before.

I genuinely do not understand this.

The news about Julius.

(sigh)

That said. I was speculating two months ago just how far we could go with no Randle and a healthy OG.

I thought....pretty far.

But will we ever get a healthy OG this year? Or at least an OG that can help us win two series?

That will be the question. Otherwise, we'll just have to see how deep our motley crew can go.

Did you see Mitch's block last game? Sick. Bring on Wembanyama.

BTW

I am still in a daze how good a team we are.

I'm spinning in a different direction.

Mr. Thibs is coach of the year.

The teamwork is incredible. Everything is coming together.

Well, okay, OG is not playing.

But Donte is! He's due and he's gonna want to perform before his old team.

I agree that beating GS is highly improbable.
Highly improbable?

Anything can happen on a given night. But if Brunson is on the court and OG is playing....we've got the better team.

After years of the Knicks being the (sometimes valiant) underdog, perhaps it's tough to accept the idea that we are genuinely becoming an exceptional team.

Who's playing better defense than the Knicks right now?

Nobody.

It's incredible to watch.

Well, you were right on one thing. Ayton playing at an awfully high level.

Hart said he played like dog shit Sunday.

Next game....he's fucking magnificent.

Really turning out to be a special player.

Fun times ahead however this goes.

Absolutely. Last game I thought.....this is just a fucking lovable team.

They scrap, they scrap, they scrap.

Couldn't ask for anything more.

I've gone a long time without knocking Thibs on this forum, but what the fuck was he thinking last night?

Precious was playing great last night, major reason why we caught up, and Thibs keeps him on the bench the entire 4th?

That shit makes no sense.

I don't see this as a meaningful acquisition, for either now or a month from now.

What am I missing?

On offense Celtics had their way with us all game. The 3's were one thing, but lots and lots of shots right next to the bucket. It was disturbing for a Thib's team, injuries or no.

That said, I hear you. And pretty much agree that, full strength, we can take on anyone.

The only thing irritating me since the trade is Burks playing back up point instead of Deuce.

The young dude brings so much...why fuck with his confidence? Even if Burks was shooting better, which he isn't, the chemistry is obviously not there with his teammates.

I can't help thinking how he and Bogdan just came from an incredibly bad team where losing was the daily mindset. That really gonna change in a minute?
