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?

If we are at full strength, the Celtics do not scare me in a series.

Wait, what?

So. If healthy, this is the best Knick team in.....a long time.

And carries the tradition of scrappiness and heart that we look love.

But will they get sufficiently healthy? With so many injuries, what's the chance everyone comes back strong?

Probably not so high.

Jalen, Precious, and Jakob found a way to get something going. Not much else though against a bigger tougher bunch on the other side.

Taj is cooked. It is time to move on and find some other guys.

Break is here. It looks like we will have 4 to ourselves coming out of it.

Last year (I think it was last year), I wrote that I never saw Taj play a bad game. Never!

This season, no one can say that. I realize that he may have been playing hurt, not just now, but when he first put back on a Knick uniform.

But it does indeed feel like he's reached the end of the line as a player, and it's starting to get painful to see him out there.

I am concerned the Magic are about to kick our asses.
You, sir, were correct.

That was a great fucking game.

Playing hard all the way. Devo + Hart are something else.

we just traded old-ass Evan Fournier for an even older-ass Evan Fournier!!

This take seems fucked up. You talking like Bogdanovic doesn't have enough game to make an impact.

He does.

(but I share your love for Donovan)

Yeah, and it will be very, very interesting to see how Grimes showcases his talents in this new context.

He gave a lot to the Knicks, but there's no question this can work out for him.

If there's no trade made I won't mind.

Two weeks before, would have agreed.

But with all the injuries? Once we saw what the Lakers did, simply doubling up Brunson, it seemed obvious the Knicks needed more help, at least for the next 5 weeks.

Always, always an advocate for Grimes and I still don't know what his ceiling is. But Donte is doing everything I dreamt that Grimes could do, so begrudgingly I understand why it makes sense he would be involved in a trade.

Whether as Lester suggests, we didn't get much in return is another question. My memories of Bogdanovic have always been good and Alec Burks, shit, why the fuck not?

And Mr. Fournier, once again, will get the chance to play the game of basketball.

IQ will be fine. RJ will teach him how to dress for the winter.

It is time to cut Fournier and sign Tony Snell.

Fournier seemed happier tonight too, as if the end of his purgatory was soon arriving.

Glad Julius got the All Star nod.

They should just expand the rosters to 15 BTW. Wouldn't be a dilution. Just a lot of talent out there. Guys like Fox, etc. should be recognized. Not important if they play much or at all. Just show some generosity in passing along the honor.
