Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Game-Thread .. Wow! tonight would make the 4th team in a row the Knicks opponents had one or two of their starter players injured on the bench.
Fox is out injured.
Coach Mike Brown turned the Kings around, so far this season they went on a 7 game win streak and are on a 4-1 run in their last 5 games.

Coach Thibs are still stuck on a 9 man rotation .. Free Cam Reddish to play a 10 man rotation.

Barrett's become a Ball-Hog when 4 bench players are in the lineup, Take Barrett out and put in Cam Reddish !!!

Half Time .. Knicks 66 - Kings 50
Randle love to have a high scoring game vs Sabonis.
Randle scored 27 pts, 5 rb, 1 ast, on 9-16 from FG (3-8 from 3's)
In 19 min in the first half of the game

RJ drains a 3, then misses a right handed layup, a left handed layup, he allows his man to grab rebound and get 2 (3 NYK standing under basket and nobody got opponent), then with 1 second left in 3rd he doesn't box man out again... rebound, bucket, foul.

That's 5 points he allowed bc he didn't box out. That's unacceptable!

After Randle got ejected, it was nice to swish a 3… but then he gave back 5 and missed 2 layups… started 4th with a brick 3.

The least you can do is box your man out.

Well, tonight 112-99 Knicks WIN has us on a 4 game win streak that put the Knicks at the 7th seed in the East. And yes the 14-13 Knicks are an above .500 NBA Team.
I still say, the Knicks roster are a two unit lineup rotation team throughout the first half of season to have an above .500 season building team chemistry".

Bad news .. Coach Thibs rotation maybe reduced to 8 players the next few games .. Sad!
A Kings player fell hard on Brunson ankle that may have Brunson out the next few games.

It's truly is incredible. The Knicks have played the Kings w/out DeAaron Fox, the Hornets w/out LaMelo, the Hawks w/out Dejounte, the Blazers w/out Lillard, the Suns w/out Chris Paul, the Nuggets w/out Jokic, the Nets w/out Kyrie and Sixers w/out Embiid

So, while Knicks are tied for 6th at 14-13… it should be a tad worse, if not for fortune smoking upon them. Still think finishing with 33 wins better than 41. Lottery could change everything…. Losing in R1 (as we saw vs ATL) doesn’t help much.
