    If we can make Josh Hart beat us from 3, we'll win!

    If we don’t absolutely shoot the lights out we won’t have a chance in this one. Even if we do like we did against Brooklyn, this one will probably be tight.

    I flew up from Atlanta to watch the Blazers play the Knicks tonight in MSG! Never seen a game in MSG so pretty excited to watch the Blazers play there!

    yes, do the magic Hamberblab numbers before the game. Not in the middle of heated action when fans are trying to watch basketball.

    Blazers are a step slow to every loose ball and rebound that is bouncing around free. It's not just a player or two, it is all 5 players on the court watching the ball while it is free.

    Knicks getting dunks, boards, wide open triples. Coach Billups calls timeout.

    I like this Ant v Brunson matchup. Similar salaries, but Brunson has the clear leg up in the NBA sphere about positive impact towards winning (among other stats).

    that's not his job. He's a firestarter, not a firestopper.
