Point me to the post where I said you did?

I was responding to what TF12 posted.

Also, It was 100% a flagrant foul.

Intent doesn’t matter, which was my only point about it being a flagrant.
Absolutely. Once that’s enough to be deemed an offensive foul, which nobody here is questioning, the point of contact is above the chest. That’s as close to an auto-flagrant as you can get. With hits to the face like that intent doesn’t even play into it.

The 8 seed 1999 Knicks made it to the Finals but that was the weird strike year a lot less games played so the seeding wasn't as "accurate"
Yeah they had only finish 6 games behind the heat that year

@bksballer89 need a Herro update. Last I saw the cast was off and he was in a brace. They may have talked about it on the telecast. I was following on my phone watching Phil’s.

Another thing that will get fixed with the new rules. Look at the Knicks. You want to pick one dude from that squad that’s All NBA. Brunson is the pick. Randle is there because the positional depth is deeper at guard. If you don’t have to worry about positions…

Let me think on it and I’ll do a positionless All NBA this year.

My sources i follow from Miami claims he is healing quicker. Best case scenario is probably middle of the series. They said 6 weeks at first and i believe game 4 or 5 is around the 5 week mark

Was a plus for you guys to close tonight. Wish the Sixers had done that.

His trade value will be interesting. I would think that they have two paths:
Randle, Barrett and picks
Randle, Quickley, Toppen, Mitchell Robinson (2 of those 3 and Randle) and picks

I part with Quickley and Robinson with Randle and would give swaps and extra picks to hold on to Barrett and Toppen. I think Toppen pairs well with Brunson and Barrett.

I want Boston for our get back from last year but I think they have a better chance to win vs Philly.

Will be the underdog in either serie

I don’t know what to make of that matchup without Herro. In this series, the Sixers have really been so inconsistent over reacting leaving shooters. Heat have shooting through out around Butler/Bam

Lots of positives to build on moving forward for the NYK.
Told y'all t'was only a 33.3% success rate as far as the juju goes.
Knicks actually had a damn good season regardless of this outcome.
I'm confident the eastern conference champ will still come out of the Atlantic division.

If I were running the Clippers, I'd be calling up the Knicks offering Kawhi for that 2nd package there (all the players, not just 2 of the 3 +Randle) and an assload of picks. I feel like the Knicks would bite since its Kawhi and they want to win, but for the Clippers you move off of his chronic injury history, get useful pieces (especially the younger players) and recoup picks. Hell, with those players plus Westbrok and Paul George, they might actually be better since they will actually be available to play (unlike Kawhi every year)
