Brunson in star mode tonight!

Bagley impressive for the Wiz. We could have used some of that.

Bummed about the Grimes talk. Think he needs more opportunities since Barrett was traded. I trust management because their deals of the last couple years seem shrewd, but I'd hate to see Quentin replaced with some of the names that have arisen.

Grimes talk bums me as well.

High character cat.  Been out if sorts, behind Donte and Josh.

We let it get interesting early.

It would be very good if this were a lightbulb game for Precious.

Hartenstein is a game time decision for the Nyets. 

[Sore FOOT & ANKLE]

The baptism of fire awaits Achuwa and Sims.  Nyets have good centers.

As for Denver, I would not be surprised to see OG draw the Jokic cover for significant stretches of time. 

Denver is a great team, and Murray versus Brunson is a premier matchup.

Still, even for a team of the Nuggets depth and stature, there are no gimmes.  That goes double for the Nyets on their home court.

GO KNICKS.

We get to see Rozier on the Heat pretty soon. Good pickup by Miami. He is having a good season and has more in the tank than Lowry

If we could hook up with Lowry as a buyout, would that be of interest to Trader Facil?

Nets can be tough. Gotta stop the Cams running us out the gym.

Just enough of just enough and we escaped Brooklyn with the win.

Randle, Achuiwa and Anonoby looked like a functional and tough small ball frontcourt.

Who was the better sub, Deuce or Dennis?

The switch with Barrett and OG has been both revelatory and obvious. Love the Brunson/Randle 30-30 club.

If our two stars are healthy, and we have a healthy center, the starting unit is cohesive, tenacious and formidable. Can give a fight to any other team in a series.

But something has to shift with the 2nd unit. Who are they? Can a personality/energy emerge that we've had in past years? And of course, we need at least one badass who can come off the bench and light it up....especially when Randle or Brunson is off.

A few years ago, that somebody was Alex Burks who won a slew of games for the Knicks. And of course, in the last year of two, that was IQ. Who steps in or up now?

Is Brogdon our best trade target for just this role?

My vote would be for Brogdon

I suspect it's going to be BURKS 2.1
