That said it would be great to give Kolek some time when maxey sits. (Btw maxey played the entire second half, I believe)

If og is out or hampered I expect to see more of sochan than diawara. A lot will depend on how hart is doing against Paul g.

Yeah this is a fair take and definitely worry for Brown. But man in the few minutes I did see of GTA, he struggled to make entry passes.

He also overdribbles consuming time and disrupting flow and can’t shoot. Id much prefer clarkson or shamet. Clarkson contributes in a lot of ways and shamet brings length and can shoot

I missed the Clarkson minutes too. Was he not effective?

I thought he was effective. He is our only backcourt or wing who can reliably create his own shot (other than Brunson)

He finds a lot of ways to contribute. IIRC he missed a corner 3 and that’s the last I remember seeing him. Maybe brown thinks he’s too slow to stay in front of philly’s guards?

Was just listening to the KFS post game. Apparently Clarkson has not hit a 3 since March 20 so he would be an easy target to do the old Josh Hart leave him defense and collapse and help on KAT/Brunson or anyone.

Well since I’m hopelessly optimistic I’ll take this as a sign he’s due!

That said I wouldn’t put him in for that. If you want 3s play shamet

It’s painful to watch McBride pick his dribble up in the paint, lost or Jose who is clueless w the ball in his hands. Clarkson gets in the paint, puts pressure on the D. Has that push shot floater and keeps his eyes open for lobs and assists.

Not necessary and I doubt Brown does it. Deuce would start at SG. Shamet comes off the bench.

From KFS dudes, the last time Knicks played Philly with OG out, Shamet started over Deuce.

This just shows on these insiders don’t actually have any real insider info most of the time. They will only report what the team funnels to them.

JB needed 21 shots to score 19 points (7 free throws). Need that to be better.
Hart headed back to passing open threes. Hopefully goes back to confident shooting.
Towns has to stay away from silly fouls. Needs to have 15 shots per game.
Good to see Bridges and OG continue their good offensive play.
Like to see Clarkson get more than 8 minutes. Think we needed his play making at times.

Think KAT stays out of fouls trouble and we clean things up for an easy win in Game 3!!
Go Knicks!

This is a very valid point. OG needs to either take ballet or yoga similar to what Willie Gault and Hershel Walker. Those dudes were all muscle also and ballet helped them with their flexibility.

Kinda mean but I chuckled a little bit
