I said with room to breathe, that was too close.

I thought Prescious was huge for us- but I looked at his plus/minus and it was bad, like how?

I thought he had an awful game on defense and spacing was an issue. He did have a stretch where he made nice put backs.

Precious and Hukporti are nice bench players but that’s it. Mitch is the defensive beast this generation Marcus Camby that’s why the lakers want to steal him

They’re role players. Precious is good enough to fill in for OG. And Huk looks like he will be able to fill in for Towns some time next season. Good news. Looks like the FO wants to move on from Mitch. Believe we get more value from staying put, but Mitch’s lack of availability might seal it.

Replay showed he did not get the shot off in time. Not crooked.

Huk looks like the real deal to me. Not better than Mitch on D (and not as versatile) but good enough in the traditional sense of how a big man plays D and a MUCH better grasp on offense some of his passing is really really good for a big man (that quick pass in close to Bridges I think was pretty sweet). He may be my new favorite project. I think he is already well ahead of Sims development wise.

So what your saying is Huk is a future second round steal like the center from Denver, ???? Lol

Just noticed Knicks play Cavs 3 more times this year and all 3 are the 2nd game of a back to back.

Think we have 7 damn back to backs down the stretch which seems awfully high in this day and age.

Is this due to the circus or some unusual event at the garden or just normal schedule?

What is impressive about Huk is he played well at the top of the key setting picks and making passes like Hartenstein. Wasnt just defense and reboundimg.

Huk playing a few mins with KAT is a small proof of concept of whether Mitch and KAT can play handful of minutes together against the right team. Huk as I mentioned above offers more offensive versatility, in that it seems he can make passes from high. That said we dominated last night on the boards and got 2nd chance points. More like years past vs. this year's spacing Knicks.
