Sigh…….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're both actively being held out of games so their team can tank harder, and even then, they have both played more games this season than OG :lol:

People can say OG is better, but he's a theoretical player at this point. "Wait till OG comes back" is the battle cry that has been heard throughout his career.

Fit is important. RJ didn’t. So we wish him well. We miss IQ but that’s because OG and Randle are both out

Availability is even more important.

Game ball to Deuce. His defense kept the game close. On many plays his closeouts prevented easy buckets and allowed for a help defender to follow and pressure a Heat player. His scoring was excellent, but he is a really active guy on defense and I love that about him.


Yes, Deuce had another great game. Just need more help all around

And he is gonna want 40 mill year for low availability.
And we will give it and be in this situation every year.

Now that the Knicks are past the Heat game I hope that OG and Randle all of a sudden get an upgrade on the injury report. Bam is always 'accidentally' hitting, elbowing or tripping someone while he's not setting his illegal moving screens so it probably was smart to not expose them to his dirty tactics.

I checked in during the 4th and the Knicks went on a run to tie it then after a few possessions let it slip away so turned it off, yea. We kinda forget this team is short handed because they fight hard and been winning despite it but it still doesn't erase the fact that they are indeed missing 2 of their 3 best players.

This point after the Heat game is when in my own mind I am looking more closely on the guys that are out. I'm of the opinion they'd benefit from getting them back with some games to ramp up as opposed once the playoffs have started. Each game they miss from now on is exponentially challenging.

I'm encouraged that 'star' role players like Divo, Deuce and iHart played well against this team. The Knicks need those guys to succeed in the playoffs, even if they ever do get healthy. Just Brunson and the super glue group can't win consistently on the best of the league, they need OG and Randle to be complete.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Remember when Thibs was an idiot for not playing small ball? Good times.

the heat have - philly, @houston, @pacers, @hawks, mavs, raptors, raptors

let's say they'll go 4-3

pacers have nets, okc, miami, raptors, cavs, hawks all at home

lets' say 3-2

we have kings, @bulls, @bucks, bulls, @boston, nets, bulls,

i'm guessing 3-4 with us beating the nets and the bulls 2 out of 3, losing to the bucks, boston, kings who will be looking for revenge

we would be 47-35
heat would be 46-36
pacers would be 46-36

maybe we can survive at 5th if it works out like this but it's gonna be close. if tied i think miami has the tie breaker. not sure about the pacers. not sure it even matters though as i don't have a lot of hope once we reach the payoffs.

one of the years where i find the play in to be an idiotic addition.. the east has a clear top 8.. the bulls and hawks shouldn’t have any shot at the playoffs

also, i would think the best chances of us advancing to round 2 is facing the cavs or orlando. another reason to try not to fall to 7th and face the bucks who despite their up and down season have 2 killers and championship experience.

We will get fake wins vs. Boston and possibly Bucks who might be locked by then. Best Thibs win is a they rest everyone, we play 38 minutes win. Then acts like it was real in the presser.

I expect a first round exit coupled with the worst possible draft position. The perfect Bobcat season.
