Also can we give Donte some love here? He woke up on the road at the right time. Those threes he hit were critical shots. I wasn't worried about him, roleplayers play shaky on the road, but he stepped up at the right time.

Same thing I thought yesterday. Hart was grabbing some insane rebounds. A good player will impact the game without scoring and Hart is just that.


Haven't seen a player do this since Rodman. When a team continuously gives up offensive rebounds, it's like their hearts are being ripped out. It's the most demoralizing play in basketball imho.


Those offensive rebounds given up were back breaking plays for Philadelphia. You could see them visibly being crushed every time it happened.

Hart does a lot for this team that doesn't make headlines and that's alright. He knows how to play winning basketball and that always doesn't involve scoring buckets.

Send this scumbag home tomorrow night. I'm so sick of this guy. I hope those rumors of him being traded here are completely off the table now. Not that I wanted him anyway but I can't stand this clown. So many dirty plays that were completely ignored. I wish someone would bring these to light more and get him fined or suspended. He shouldn't be getting away with this.
Make the Knicks great again!

we're just a better team. period. The sixers have too much to overcome.
You want to leave your best players on the floor for 48 minutes? no problem for the knicks we've been doing that to our players all season.
you want to focus on getting more rebounds? no problem -we've been doing that to teams all season.
you want to zero in on Big Body Brunson? no problem - our others will beat you - theyve been doing that all season.
you want to take out a key player in the game? no problem, one of our other players will step up all season.
and while you focus on that each game- we will start the game off slow - come from behind and close the game out-regarless if you steal a lead late or not.
The only win they got was when the current MVP threw a tantrum and went on a flagrant run...in order to win he had to do
it at such a high level that Adam Silver had no choice but to atend the next game.
If this knick team gets a fair whistle throughout the play offs(like last night)- I believe we can win the east.
We have the best defense, best player, more fearless and winning players, we play till the very end, and Thibs programed this team's endurance.
I know we are depleated with players -regardless, this is the best knick team I've seen since the 90's...

Even in the game we lost, Philly struggled to close out the game. They’re not as good as advertised to end their season. The narrative before the series started was that with Embiid, they had the best record in the league. Doesn’t seem like it when he’s not beating up on the league’s bottom dwellers anymore.

We’d have to trade Randle to get Booker… tough choice, but I might do it.

I said it before the series began: there is a reason why Philly is a 7th seed and the Knicks are 2nd. This team has been in the fire all season long and are unfazed. Can't say that about the scumbag Sixers.

But you also need backside help in case the pass does get made. Here that’s precious

Can u front embiid, yes. Can u do it the whole game? Idk bc you’ll be in rotation every possession

Depends on the cost. Do you really want to gut this team for Booker? Phoenix will be desperate to retool now that they don't control their picks for 7 years.

If he plays G5 and hurts someone badly before the series ends, that's on the NBA's head

It'd be nice to see Donte and Hart hit some threes as they have earlier in the series, to take pressure of Jalen. OG too. I think we could blow them out if Jalen just got 25-30 and other shooters hit some threes
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Booker would mesh with Brunson on offense, I don't doubt that. However, Booker isn't the best defender, though.

The issue with Booker will be the price. Phoenix's GM needs to rape another GM to make up for the way he was raped in the Durant and Beal misadventures. Count me out.
