- J-Hart on an RJ like clanking streak but at least 14 boards

When he jumped between that guys legs to get the steal I went nuts. So did he.

IQ was perfect in same role, Obi was perfect in 15-20.. you start playing these guys more and asking them to do more and they start to get exposed a bit.

Short memory.
What do you call the 39 min 33/5/4 the previous game vs Utah and
the 28/6/5 42 min game before that? In which he shot 46% from THREE?

Started off hot last night but took a few too many long threes. Still hit some big baskets to keep us close. But your saying Thibs should keep him at 20? Smh

thats what you made up from my post?

I love this team and I love the new culture.

Feel the ones blaming Knicks for pick were not being reasonable.
Obi was considered a top pick. Crazy physical measures. The BPA at the slot.
Hali weighed 94 pounds wet and had an ugly jumper
Only thing that can be said is that the Knicks were in desperate need of a PG.
But we all know how much Thibs likes young inexperienced point guards.
Okay with the pic, just disappointed the way it worked out

I think if we have OG and Grimes back, we won't miss Randle much. Precious is just all over the court defensively and can play PF or C.

I wanted to smack Haliburton from the opening tip and everything about them pissed me off. I really can't believe we pulled that off, seemed we were gonna be a handful of points down from start to finish, felt like we just didn't have enough, reminded me of watching Melo play in the playoffs with Billy Walker and Jared Jeffries. But damn, this team is just amazing. Deuce is a complete stud, iHart just toyed with Miles Turner, Precious was lockdown on Siakam. IDK why but I'm just so happy for Precious. This might be the highlight of his career when it's all said and done, filling in admirably for Randle during this special winning streak like that. Get serenaded with cheers at the Garden, playing 40+ mins and making game winning plays. Who knows - just felt really good to watch his quiet self roar with iHart like that after sealing the game.

Brunson got the Jordan rules last night and still dropped 40. This dude is legit unstoppable.

We need to get some reinforcements back in here, but in the meantime this is enjoyable AF. Reminds me of the Linsanity run in a lot of ways, where we are shorthanded but winning with sheer grit and special, special point guard play.

I talked **** about Precious but hey I'm wrong. I remember thinking he looked like a decent player but it didn't happen with the Raptor and it seemed like all their fans thought he was terrible. Even though I hadn't seen him much I wrote him off a little b/c it hadn't happened and Raptor fans were so negative about him. He is playing super hard and making a real impact. I'm with ya, he is an easy guy to feel good for. I feel really good for Deuce too. He deserves this opportunity and he has been awesome. Brunson is an MVP candidate. Let's start being real about him. He's that good. Really ugly game and they got fortunate in some ways but whatever they were so short-handed that they still should have lost and probably lost by 10+. you can't take anything for granted against the Knicks. They destroyed them on the glass in the 4th quarter and when Hali went to the bench and the pace of the game died they locked in. It was an effort win. Getting effort wins while shooting poorly against a pretty good NBA team that isn't playing terribly is ****ing impressive.

and if this is true, why CAN'T we win it all? we definitely have the role players around him to do it. we have the shooting now too.

I mean Brunson can be the best player on the court any given night, he's not only a star, he's a clutch one. He's the guy you want on your team in a big game. MIA knocked out MIL and BOS last year and we are a better team.

hard to wrap my head around it but we have a shot at the championship.
