Like you, the playoffs will have to proceed without any Balls.

Lonzo and LaMelo, at least one of whom we've been told is a generational talent, have as many NBA playoff appearances as Lucille, which is very tough in a league that has half its teams in the playoffs.

RJ was one of 11 guys to lace em up for all 72 regular season games his team played this year. Jules was one off that at 71.

The Knicks’ newly signed combo guard Luca Vildoza is flying into New York Friday and will wear the number of an old Knicks icon when he arrives, according to a Spanish-language Twitter account run by his press team. Vildoza is slated to don “17,’’ the number of former Knicks PG Jeremy Lin.

Vildoza, 25, who played for Baskonia of the Spanish League, signed a four-year, $13.6 million deal earlier this month. The final three years aren’t guaranteed. Vildoza’s second season becomes guaranteed the day after the season opener, The Post reported. He will make $3.5 million this season – minus his Spanish buyout. The signing costs the Knicks players a bonus of $200,000 because the team no longer is under the salary-cap minimum. – via Marc Berman @ New York Post

Mcmillan's schtick is pathetic here:

Yeah, the Knicks have a history of getting strong consideration (wink wink) from the league, and so, you know, the calls won't be going Atlanta's way.

Shut the fuck up.

Playoffs are the season for working the refs. Jackson v. Riley v. Daly was the peak for me. Nice to be in that kind of matchup between Nate and Thibs, two competitive old hands.

It's weak and nonsensical.  McMillan is implying the NBA is responsible for the Knicks being in the playoffs which makes no sense at all.  This isn't a play-in game that the Knicks are lucky to be in because a few calls went our way at the end of the year.  Knicks have won 16 of their last 20 games and are the 4th seed.  No help was needed from the NBA.   If anything this can backfire on McMillan as Thibs can use it as motivation that Atlanta thinks the NBA made this seeding possible.

Got 3 of my 4 in.  Awaiting Golden State's pasting of Memphis tonight

Yeah, it's going with chalk, I know. 

Good to see Russ and his mates headed to Philly, where they preferred to go.  I think that series could go 6.

Incredible efficiency by Wiz offfense

RJ Barrett gave his full endorsement to Payton.

“Great locker-room guy, everybody loves EP,” Barrett said. “He goes out there, even if he’s struggling offensively, and still plays great defense. Everybody struggles. We’re always there to pick him up, and he’s gonna pick us up. He’s picked me up when I’m struggling. He’s part of our team and we love having him.”

We may see more of French Frank in match-ups with Trae Young.  We may see any number of rotational moves involving Rose and Quickley and Burks.  Elfrid's minutes may indeed be situational, based on which way the wind is blowing. 

But THIBS is not going to toss him under the bus. Look for him to start both halves, minimally. 

Get over it Knicks fans. 

Fifteen As ONE. 

We're HERE, New York.

Playoffs are the season for working the refs. Jackson v. Riley v. Daly was the peak for me. Nice to be in that kind of matchup between Nate and Thibs, two competitive old hands.

If the league is committed to favoring the Knicks and New York in the playoffs, let's jst say they have NOT done a bang up job these past twenty years. 

As a coach Phil Jackson was masterful at working the refs, and getting into the heads of the opposing teams and coaches. 

Thing is, THIBS will just use that as motivation. 

The best thing about being the fourth seed, is it bought the Knicks some breathing space to exhale, and a week of ferocious practices. 

Atlanta is fully healthy and has a number of formidable weapons, besides Young and Capella, such as DeAndre Hunter, who could surely give Reggie Bullock something to think about, and of course, BoD heart throb, Bogdonavich.  But you can bet the ranch that Trae Young is going to be loaded to bear. 

[kidcarter8]

...or even FOR bear.  Heh.

About time. Breathless anticipation!
