Key take away from tonight's game? I'm still not over losing Donte.

My key takeaway is we are pretty good. This was a regular season environment. Was cool to see Mikal spark the comeback. Still so much room to improve in the chemistry department and we are still out there playing at a really high level in the meantime.

What was that between DDV and Brundad at the end?

DIVO clearly hurt over the trade. Sad to see honestly.

I was worried about how they were going to integrate Bridges into the offense. Still a little worried, but glad he made that push later in the game.

Looks like Rick Brunson told him to watch him mouth for his words earlier and DIVO said "I was talking to THIBS" and then they just kept jawing.

I guess this is old but clearly DIVO is targeting Thibs for the trade.

Minny is going to be tough to beat this year, if they have the luxury of bringing Randle off the bench as a super-sub.

If Payne and Deuce can give us consistent scoring, close to double-digits, we should be in good shape. I think Precious is showing we're in good shape at backup PF. Sims had a better game but still largely a non-factor on offense.

The sooner Brunson and KAT click on offense the better, hope it doesnt take too long. KAT tried posting up a lot last game, not at all this game. Hope he keeps it in his repertoire.

I disagree I think Shamet and Simms will be getting regular minutes. But I also would like to see Huk, Kolek, and Dadiet

I think Shamet's next man up, but between JB/Mikal/Deuce/Payne, you have enough minutes at guard.

Sims I just have no trust in outside of those occasional first half minutes when you need some extra fouls. I'm expecting Huk to leap frog him before Mitch's return.

Simms will play when needed he is the 10th man. But he will get his minutes before Huk for awhile. Huk may over take him sure, let's see what happens. Shamet will be the 9th man but he will play regularly it will alternate between Cam and Shamet depending on match ups. I could see the Knicks moving Shamet if they could then keep Warren and maybe bring in a vet like Morris Jr and use Huk. But we will see.

Oh, and Randle had fewer TOs than KAT tonight.

Weirdest combination of stats tonight: SEVEN players in double figures scoring, and ZERO FGAs for Hart. ??

I'll say this, between Deuce, CamPaign, PA, and Shamet, we have 4 tremendous value contracts on this team.

Also what was this with Randle and that trainer? Seems like there’s a lot of drama behind the scenes.

I'm now putting Simms in the Mitch Rob category as far as skills evolution.

I simply fail to understand why he can't develop some moves in the post which he can use when they're needed, especially off of an offensive rebound, and especially if he's defended by a smaller player.

I don't know what he and Mitch do in the offseason...but I sure haven't seen any appreciable improvement in their respective offensive games.

Of course neither will ever be a go-to player on the offensive end of the court, but why not be able to contribute something on offense, other than a dunk off a pick and roll?

Frustrating.

FWIW, I have not seen Bridges be anything near the dynamic scorer that DDV is.
