    Knicks only scored 73 against Philly last week. Nobody would pass it to Hartenstien, the big man had 1 shot attempt. NYC fired off 40 triples at 22% against a Sixers team with no Embiid, full zombie chuck mode. The game was so ugly Divincenzo decided to play football and tackle Oubre Jr.



    Blazers played physical against the Hawks. If Portland can match that same intensity, they can force NYK into a shooting funk

    What happened to playing time for Rayan Rupert? Why isn't he with the Trail Blazers?
    I don't see much potential in 24-year-old Justin Minaya. Rupert should have gotten some good experience last night.

    Yeah, I would say that in any remaining game where the opponent needs to win...they will.
    The Knicks are battling to keep HC advantage right now. They can't afford to lose this game.

    Clearly the Blazers think his current skill level is far less superior.

    I believe the Blazers have the most wins on the second night of a back to back of any team in the league (unless someone passed them this week).

    Scoot is once again looking like the most clueless player in the league. He seems completely lost on both ends.

    Hagans is making Brunson work. While Scoot was laying out the red carpet.
