You really don’t think SGA will play both?

It’s not back to back, day off in between.

Well Friday night is against the Lakers

Bradley.

I think I agree with @wildturkey Take TT because of his playoff experience and experience playing with Lebron. TT is older, but he's 32, so it's not like he's ancient.

Stop it.

You need to pick a lane.

You change your narrative 3 times a week.

Randle plays well and “he is a superstar and everyone is stupid if they don’t agree”.

But, he plays poorly and you complain about him and even call for him to be benched.

Well…

If he played like last night all the time, he might be a superstar.

But he doesn’t. And since his impact on the game is mostly just on the offensive end, he just isn’t close to superstar status because of the inconsistency.

I have NEVER changed my narrative!

I have said all along that his IQ and his lack of maturity is what keeps him from being labeled a superstar.

And, I see him play every minute of every game that I watch. I’m very critical!

You have to admit there isn’t another superstar, all star , that plays the game as much or as hard as he does. He takes more risk than any other player in the league. And why is that? CONDITIONING!

He is a superstar to every Knick fan around the world cause he plays for his team every game, every play!

Is he MJ lebron curry? NO. But he can hang with all the other so called superstars of this league.


His play is mostly on the offensive end? Says who? You ? Knicks have one of the best D’s in the league , he’s on the court 35 plus minutes a game. If you think it’s all Robinson that is the reason , you’re nuttier than I think.

Maybe Harden is the real MVP? The Sixers offense looked like ass last night. I don’t think it’s coincidence that Harden had his worst game in a long time. In the 4th Q he wanted no parts of the ball and Pat Bev. Looks like he may have hurt his foot last night. It’s going to be something to watch. At the same time, he played 47 minutes so who knows how bad the foot is.

 

[bksballer89]

Towns and Ant both back tomorrow

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yo… Bulls are now 8-4 since acquiring Pat Bev. They really defended last night. Many of Sixers struggles stemmed from Harden playing like ass. But Bulls get a ton of credit for Harden playing like ass. They’re playing solid basketball. East is no joke this year. Solid depth 1-10.

Harden was getting whacked in the face and the refs were giving him nothing. Doesn't excuse the turnovers, but shouldn't have been a Bulls win.

Yeah, not much went right for the Lakers last night lol.

 

[shopson67]

Bradley.

Saw a suggestion for a name I had forgotten....Willie Cauley-Stein. He has been playing in the G-league. Athletic defender and rebounder, could do worse. He supposedly has been working on his 3 pt shot, but I would just want his defense and athleticism really, could fit well with this new group of front court reserves.

 

[Pastafazul]

Agreed.
He's a star, and an all-star for sure.....but superstar??
Nope....not quite...and actually, not even close.

Would also be nice if they could get passed the 1st round of the playoffs this time around.
But that's for another discussion.

CLUELESS. To make a comment of not even close

Also CLUELESS that you would make a comment of the Knicks not getting passed first round. How many rounds has the I believe 3 time MVP from Denver got too?

Jokic isn't a 3x MVP. And he's been to the WCF.

The Knicks have only gotten out of the first round once ('12-'13) since 1999-00, they went to the ECF that season.

 

[Pastafazul]

Lol!!! Does every team play Denver like they play the Knicks? Lol, especially at the Mecca , the greatest arena in the world. Hah!

Please, I saw jokic play the other night for first time. He looks like he’s ridin a donkey up and down court .

If he played in the ‘70’s he’d be jack sikma

 

[shopson67]

I saw that stat line from Randle and thought they had won, which would've been helpful lol. Almost had double digits out of every player that hit the court for the Wolves lol. Don't worry though, KAT will come back and screw it all up. He and Gobert together hasn't worked yet.

Isn’t he in line for #. 3?

Team gave up 42 in first Q

And yes with their 2 studs.

 

[shopson67]

Comes back just for the Lakers, then back comes the injury lol.

 

[Pastafazul]

Please , embiid is a monster who is athletic , how the hell do you compare him to Jokic?

Ohhh I forget ANALYTICS!!
