I have a bias against him. But the more he favours his passing the lower the bias goes. He needs to set Pascal up. They had some nice one two stuff.

Looks like New York could really use Quickley and RJ now.

I tell ya.....that Josh hart contract is looking so good. This guy seems like a big playoff performer. He's been the knicks second best player.

I'm pretty neutral this series. May the better team win and stay healthy for against the C's. I hope this series goes 7.

no way the knicks last this series playing at 115 pace. even if they do, the celtics will have easy pickings next round

This game has been a classic since the tip off. Pacers need to steal this one.

What is it with guards from Villanova? They are all so scrappy.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

refs just swung this game. Pacers would’ve had a fast break that’s -5 points

Wow you're not kidding. the site I checked shows he' is signed till 2027/28 as a club option for $22M. 4 yr(s) / $80,915,280. OG will have to buy him a drink for making room for his payday.

That rumoured trade OG for #7 and Hart looks like a miss. But then I checked the draft and it's not that great after 6. Sharpe? maybe. Daniels or Sochan, meh. First real miss wasn't till 12 with J Williams. Or even Duren after him. hindsight is fun.

Secret sauce to these Knicks games being all fun is they dont have anywhere near enough offense to run away from a team and they muck it up enough in the hustle stats to avoid the game getting out of hand the other way

Return to Toronto Raptors
