Knicks held on! Good game that. Brunson is a beast.
Hart and and Divincenzo are just elite support guys. Hartenstein and OG make it tough for anyone to score.

They should be able to lock up and frustrate Indiana pretty easily.

Heck of a series.

Knicks outscored the Sixers by 1 point across the 6 games.

My only concern with the Knicks is burnout.

Thibs is riding those guys as hard as humanly possible and I dunno how sustainable it is for guys to play 45+ minutes a game for 4-5 weeks straight.

I’m sure he will scream racism when this is brought up. They should’ve let the guy in the 00 jersey drop Pat Bev.

Just watched Knicks-76ers game 6, well that was hell of a series and a game.

Brunson is damn man but Thib is lunatic, Divincenzo with 48 min played, OG 45, Hart 46, Brunson 44

One of Pacers- Knicks is advencing to ECF :o

As it turns out, making a trade midseason can be good for you - Siakam and OG will propel one of those teams to the conference finals.

Rumor is that he has a big contract lined up with the Pistons.

He used to be so good. I have no idea why he fell off like that.

He could be a steal for someone if he takes an appropriate discount…he was a high volume shooter approaching 50/40/90 just a couple of years ago…he’d be a great sixth man for us, if we cleared out all of our FA’s and FIRST addressed our backcourt hole….assuming, of course, a DEEP discount that he’s probably not willing to take yet

I agree with Rob, rumor is a contract coming from Detroit

We’ve all read it…Any cap space team is going to be linked….”rumor” is no different than all of the “monk to ORL”, “Klay to ORL”, DLo..just guessing by people who (amazingly) get paid to do it….FOs aren’t talking (yet)…just obvious possibilities

Sign Claxton or Hartenstein and trade WCJ+Cole for Herro or some other guard?

I'm pro signing Hartenstein and trading Carter, but I'm just not sure you're really going to get a very good return for him.

Like I don't think Miami would even consider that offer?

I can't imagine he has much trade value, his availability is very poor.

unlike a lot of others, he does have a small tie to them in that he played for them before.

They forgot to mention he's one of the softest players in the league.
