    Knicks fans must be thrilled by Mikal Bridges' performance in the first half.

    I dunno why he decided to completely revamp his shot mechanics, but it's not a good look. And they gave up how many picks for him?!

    He's shot really well in the 2nd half tonight.

    My feeling is New York has no bench. Nice starting 5 but it stops there.

    Celtics better than a team made of all the best players from the other 29 teams.

    Bronny didn’t look horrible out there.

    He ended up 2-7 on three-pointers for the game. I don't think it will continue forever (his poor 3-point shooting) but definitely something to keep an eye on, which I'm sure all Knicks fans are doing.

    Minnesota doesn't look very good. With KAT gone it's a lot of Anthony Edwards shooting the ball down the stretch.

    He’s not that good. He’s fine. Not the HOFer people make him out to be.

    Yeah , he could be if the season lasted 1 game. Not because he's not that good, because he's injured a lot.

    Randle has to take more than 8 shots. Is he really that much better than Grant? AD came to play, hard. Sheesh

    Edwards looks worse than Dame when Dame had to shoulder the load. Edwards doesn't have a reliable outside shot.

    If you want 3-point shooting, Grant is clearly better.

    Grant has shot 40% in his last two seasons.

    Randle shot 31% last season, and 34% the season before that.

    Randle has much better rebounding and assist numbers.

    I thought a non-3-point shooting Power Forward was defunct in the current NBA. I guess Minnesota disagrees.

    He only missed 6 games last season. He’s a new man.
