That is what I call a timely post. Thank goodness they read this forum on the bench.

2 more like that would be prime.

Listen. This one was on me.

My apologies. I had to work and missed the game.


Let's not do this again....

I did my job tonight.

Yelling from the opening tip. Series of other subtle ritualistic mojos.

All is well.

All is well or that was an awesome fluke.

They will play better next game. We will have to play better still.

If we can activate Grimes and keep the other kids engaged, we should be in good shape

Listened to a millennial YouTuber talking about how much fun he is having with all the terrible shooting in the playoffs this year. He had never seen a season since he started watching in 2009 where for the most part teams are going hard enough to make basketball look difficult for these guys on both sides in most every game. 

Ah, to be young. Though honestly once was enough for me.

The gritty and insanely dangerous brand of basketball being played is still my cup of tea.

If the playoffs keep going like this, whoever wins, this chip will be worth more than the last five or six put together.

Yeah, man, it ain't ballet but the intensity has been fabulous.

Keep it coming.

I hate early starts. If we sleepwalk, this thing could wind up tied which would really put the Cavs ahead.

That was awesome.

They took away Randle. We took away Mitchell and came out ahead.

RJ might be figuring some things out that makes everyone feel much better about his extension.

I love our depth and togetherness.

We beat the Cavs and the refs today.

Sign on TV said 3-1 lead had 95% wins. Finally sane drafting has led to a deep bench.

Without a doubt

Gigantic talent

Cost to Knicks would've gutted our youth,  rotational depth and the draft assets to replenish it.

I am assuming Grimes stays out for game 5. RJ, Hart, and Deuce can pick up slack there with no worries. I would also sit Julius so he gets a bit more time to get right, 5 days if we need him in game six, more if we win and wait for the next round.

That would mean Mitch Obi RJ Hart Brunson start with Hartenstein McBride and Quickley as the main subs with the possibility of seeing DeQuan Jefferies as the only other strong body to pull off the bench as a sub forward. I think that is a better choice than trying to play Fournier as a later day Steve Novak though that seems more like the direction Thibs decides to go.
