He's definitely fighting it right now.

Its all about Mitchell in the playoffs. We've seen this movie before.

Mitchell 3/16 and only 11 pts and Cavs still win. Broke their 15 game win streak. They are a force

Strus 5/6 and Dean 3/4 from 3. Gotta be able to out 3 point these teams. We are gonna need our 3pt shooters to stop looking like Stormtroopers from behind the line.

Ty Jerome also continues to be major contributor off the bench. Always liked his game

If Kat had say Larry Bird's serious mindset all the time he'd be an all (all) time great offensive player.

He is SO TALENTED - such soft hands, soft touch and versatile offensive game (including vision/passing)

His primary issue are bouts of focus (lack of), carelessness with fouls and still some immaturity where he lets emotions get in the way.

Legit stud who is putting up awesome #s often with little help from Brunson who either ignores or misses him frequently.

Not sure about the origin of KAT being soft was. He was never a soft player at Kentucky or Minnesota. Underachieved a little bit yes but not soft

Some things are just contagious.

BigDaddyG probably has a bunch of stories he can tell.

It’s generally accepted (even by Oxford Dictionary) to allow substitution of ironically for coincidentally in common parlance. So, where strict grammar would suggest you should only use it when the context is the opposite of the literal meaning, it’s not really considered wrong to it instead of “coincidentally”.

Regardless, Clyde is a national treasure. Cant hate on his expressions.

Ba hum bug

Not sure but it's probably a combo of things. Maybe the long road trip, holidays, weather, boredom.

BTW the team is really missing McBride. We're complaining a lot about the Bench over 4 games where McBride was missing, and he is obviously the biggest cog of our 2nd unit. Aside from being able to create some pressure and quicken the pace, he's our volume 3 point shooter with no hesitation. The Knicks have not only been missing them, but they've been reticent to even attempt them. We really need Deuce back as he's the closest thing we have to what DiVo gave us last year in terms of the volume - and that helps stretch the floor.

Toronto is a weird team - with IQ/RJ/Barnes healthy and even Brown back, they shouldn't be a total pushover, but they seem to be lacking a bit of desire/hustle. They lack depth, but in the 2nd half we really beat them to loose balls and muscled them around and they mostly folded. Only the brilliance of Boucher made the score seem respectable.
