Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. Another Home Game, another must win game.
The first Game of a Back to Back .. (2-15) Pistons tonight, and (9-10) Raptors tomorrow.

We need a tournament to send teams with a 2 -15 or 3-17 record to the G.League the rest of the season.

Coach slowly putting Hart at the 6th man spot.
No respect towards Quickley having a great start of the season.

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 85 - Pistons 87
The last 2 min the Piston started playing stupid, then the Knicks started playing stupider

Grimes & IQ shoot 2-15 with 2 assists. Brunson with 42. Randle 29-10-8. DDV with some clutch 3s late. 20-28 from FT line. RJ off on 3 (1-6) but 4-6 inside the arc. Got the win!

The Knicks outscored the Pistons in the 4th qtr. 33-25 for the WIN tonight.
The Pistons came out in the 3rd quarter like this was their 3rd win of the season, but flopped in the 4th quarter ..
Now head coach Monty Williams have to walk around with a 2-17 record on his back.

 

[Kiyaman]

Grimes & IQ shoot 2-15 with 2 assists. Brunson with 42. Randle 29-10-8. DDV with some clutch 3s late. 20-28 from FT line. RJ off on 3 (1-6) but 4-6 inside the arc. Got the win!

Tomorrow vs the Raptors defensive SF/PF lineup
I want to see how well ..
Brunson's 42 pts, 8 ast score?
Randle's 29 pts, 10 rb, 8 ast score?
Barrett's 15 pts score?
Donte 12 pt, score?

If the Knicks would trade Grimes & Quickley to the Cavs for Mitchell ..
The Cavs would become a 2nd round playoff team.

Mitchell Robinson has grabbed 104 offensive rebounds this season.

Every other player in the NBA has fewer than 80 offensive boards.

Oh, and Mitch Rob leds the Knicks in blocks and steals as well.

Robinson is just the third player in NBA history with at least 100 offensive rebounds, 25 steals and 25 blocks thru the first 18 games of a season.
