    POR needs a guy with that sort of attitude: kill anyone not wearing your colors. Of course having that talent helps a bit

    Not really looking forward to these eastern matchups at all. Some boring ball compared to the West in my opinion.

    You don’t think the Cavs can put up a fight against Boston?

    Knicks vs Pacers might be fun to watch. Totally different teams.

    You mean the latest "next Jordan." He's certainly better than Harold Miner, at least.

    This is what separates him. It's his superpower. Jimmy Butler has it too, but Edwards has that and elite athleticism.

    The pacers/Knicks harkens back to a time when basketball was good. So there's that.

    I'm rooting for the Knicks, but that offensive foul called on Turner for the DiVincenzo foul is bogus - and they even reviewed it! I think they felt bad for the turnover on Brunson the previous play.

    The Villanova Knicks are another reason I want us to draft Stephon Castle. We need somebody part of a dominant winning team.

    Dame, CJ and Powell is better than the Knicks Brunson, Hart and Divincenso. But why it’s working for the Knicks?

    Knicks are such a fun team to watch.

    Brunson is basically as dominant as bubble Lillard, but they have 2 way forwards and defenders all up and down that roster.

    Now I don't think they can contend with Boston/Denver/Minnesota/OKC, just don't quite have the talent. But if they make the ECF that's a hell of a great season. They have very good contracts on their cap and a ton of picks to get that final piece next year.

    Another fun player to watch.... Slo mo Kyle Anderson.

    Amazing career as a great bench player/temporary starter all from being able to be the slowest player on the court.

    Hali has to do way more than he did, but refs were shady as hell to close that. Every call went NY's way.
