if he threw that with one hand that would have been OAK esq

4Q - 0:31
NYK 114 MIN 106

FINAL
NYK 118 MIN 114

KP needs to strengthen his legs. He can get up and down the court in the 4th, but his 3s are hitting the front of the rim, not much spring in his step either. Takes a lot of energy to move someone with KP's frame, will take time to get there.

As Clyde pointed out, they're much better prepared this year for executing plays out of time outs.

Some tough decisions for Horny to make. Would he bench the guy who just received a huge contract?

I think you have to give him an opportunity to keep his job. Tonight was a career game for O'Quinn. That decision isn't made based on one game against the Wolves. However, I think Hornacek would do whatever is best for the team.

OQuinn teases you. He has games of brilliance and then does a lot of stupid stuff. Hubie was saying the same thing on tv when he was broadcasting previously

Yup...winning teams always have guys step up when a teammate is having an off game.

Different heroes every game...a good sign.

Not a terrible comparison at all.

I had given up on the guy before this season, after really being let down by him last year, but you knew things might be different when he came in much slimmer than last year.

Great job gaining position down low and finishing... last year he would have been blocked 3 or 4 times in a game like this.

Knicks should keep this rotation, give Hernangomez's minutes to Noah, and see how O'Quinn plays. When Noah comes back if we just shive O'Quinn back to the bench, I think that would be a little silly. He is doing a solid job. He hustles. He seems to have chemistry with the starters. I think Noah would thrive playing off the bench and told to go all out for 15 minutes. He could run the floor. Set hard screens. Hustle. Bring that energy you want the 2nd unit to bring. Also would give some veteran stability and a 2nd playmaker to Jennings. As we saw tonight Jennings can be very erratic. If Noah is out there with him, Jennings has a 2nd playmaker out there.

Nice cameo by Lance Thomas. Looked decent. Knows his role. Shoot the 3. Defend, Good 2-way role player if healthy.
