How about J- Duren with 17 & 14 vs MIA. Imagine giving away a lottery pick to dump a 10 mil expiring contract. I hope this is the next Kevin Garnett and Leon Rose has to live with that awful decision for 30 years.

J-Duren with 23-15-5 tonight. Leon Rose is looking foolish for trading this guy for a salary dump. He’s only 19. Knicks gave him away bc GM couldn’t find a way to get rid of his Walker mistake. God lord!

J.Duren performance got Wiseman benched.
A Knicks loss to Detroit this season ............

And pick 12, the 6.5 SG/SF Jalen Williams high b.ball IQ, plus athletic skills on both sides of the court would've stopped us from adding both Hart & Donte to the Knicks.

Full ESPN story on the Los Angeles Clippers landing guard James Harden in a blockbuster deal with the Philadelphia 76ers
Further trade details: The Clippers are sending a 2027 first-round pick swap to Oklahoma City, clearing way for OKC to move a protected 2026 first-round pick to the 76ers, sources said. The Clippers are sending a 2024 and a 2029 second-round pick to the Sixers in the deal too, sources said.

Keeping up with Obi .. The Pacers team are in the locker room wondering how they loss a one point (125-124) game vs Hornets? Easy! The Hornets shot 100% from the FT 23-23

Our 9 man rotation is killing us instead of building ws .. we do need to start creating a dependable all bench lineup this early in the season.
We have a young PF/C-Sims & PG-McBride that need playing-time now.

Tonite .. I had to check the (2-8) Wizards & (5-5) Raptors score in the 2nd half of the game, after the Wizards had a 19 pt half time lead over Raptors. There were 7 minutes remaining in the Wizard vs Raptors game, and the Wizards were still holding on to a huge 16 pt lead. The Wizards got this win, right?
Wizards got stuck on 107 pts the remainder of the game, 6 straight minutes of no scoring from the Wizards to end the game .. Wizards 107 - Raptors 111
The Barnes over Poole game.

Patrick Beverley want to know what KAT was doing when Draymond Green had the tight grip around Gobert neck ???
After watching the Klay incident, then Draymond putting the long choker-hold on Gobert, I too want to call out KAT.

Watching the Celtics vs Magic game the Celtics performance without PG Holiday look just like the Knicks performance without PG D.Rose or PG Brunson. Especially the Celtics 4th quarter performance .. Magic 36 - Celtics 22
Since the start of the season the (12-3) Celtics game rotation has been 8 players in some games, or 9 players, the other 5 or 7 players got spot minutes of playing-time/garbage-time. The same rotation as our (8-6) Knicks.
When one of the rotation players are injured we are force to give playing time to (6) bench players that have less than 4 minutes a game.

Mavs down 87-111 against OKC at the beginning of the fourth quarter go on a historic 30-0 run


[SPOILER="spolier"]despite this, Mavs lose 126-120[/SPOILER]

unbelievable

OKC finished strong and won tho. How about Vermont stunning Yale. They were down 5 with 1 second left and won game by a point. Made a layup. Yale called for foul on inbounds and turned it over. Vermont hit a 3 and got foul on inbound. Made FT!

1 Year Ago Today —

The Knicks get blown out by the Mavs at MSG to push their record to 10-13.

People begin calling for Tom Thibodeau’s to be fired, but he soon adjusts the rotation and begins a 9-game winning streak!

Let’s give credit to Thibbs and Randle. Now Rose has to upgrade roster and either get a legit star or a 4th Q scorer like DeRozan or BB to help team…


Best records in the NBA over the past calendar year:

1. Bucks: 56-24
2. Celtics: 54-24
2. Sixers: 54-24
4. Nuggets: 53-28
5. KNICKS: 49-29

The (13-6) OKC offense/defense went to sleep for 7 straight minutes in the 4th quarter for the (11-8) Mavs to make history for a 30-0 run in a quarter .. No Kyrie and no Tim Hardaway jr .. WOW!
The OKC Coach Mark Daigneault had to throw buckets of cold water on the OKC players to wake the heck up the final 4 minutes of the game for a Thunder win. Great Game!

Sorry Mafra, I was asking for Thibs to be FIRED after the Knicks 2021-22 season.
The Knicks had winning players the last 3 seasons, plus this 2023-24 season we have last season starter lineup, plus the 6th, 7th, and 8th man in our rotation.
Coach Thibs has nothing left to add to the winning Knicks players growth.
Head coach Doc Rivers got Fired after having a 54-28 season, now its Thibs turn to be Fired after the season for not having a 50 win season, or getting close to the ECF having all the winning talent on the Knicks roster.

Head coach Rick Carlisle will make Haliburton a franchise NBA super-star PG.
The Knicks and Kings organization were the wrong places for Haliburton to land on draft night.
Brunson is a product of Rick Carlisle
Will the Pacers lock-up both Haliburton & Toppin for the next 6 seasons ???

Tyrese Haliburton just had his third game with 25+ points, 15+ assists and zero turnovers this season.

No other player in NBA history has more than one such game in his entire career.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle who once put together the Detroit Pistons last championship (10 Man rotation) team.
Coach Carlisle 10 man rotation OWNED the Bucks in the 4th quarter for the Los Vegas tournament win .. 128-119
Plus Carlisle star PG Haliburton's 27 pts, 7 rb, 15 assists, 1 blk, and zero turn overs is making history.
Oh yeah Knicks fans .. Obi Toppin had 14 pts, 6 rb, 2 Dimes in 21 min
And Pacers perimeter defense held Bucks to 12-33 3-ball shooting

The (38 yr Lebron) Lakers have put up 90-60 Stop sign for all the Pelicans fans to see 6 minutes into the 3rd quarter.
Pelican players Zion, Ingram, and McCollum couldn't even trade basket to the end of the 3rd Quarter ..
Lakers 110 - Pelicans 71 to start the 4th

Well .. The Tournament FINALS arrived .. Lakers 123 - Pacers 109
Both teams had a starter player that Knicks coach Thibs refuse to give playing-time to last season.
Both teams (Lebron & Haliburton) like to run speeding up the tempo to score above the rim b.ball.
Lakers Cam Reddish
Pacers Obi Toppin
The Lakers scored 80 points from inside baskets, while the Pacers scored 40 points from inside baskets.
Lakers shot 2-13 from 3's (15%)
Pacers shot 10-41 from 3's (24%)

Tyrese Haliburton is who people talked Curry up to be as a PG his entire career

If he gets anything close to the weapons Curry’s had throughout career, then I could see Hali replacing him All-Time at that position

21/20 the other day and 0 turnovers is crazy. He’s done this multiple times playing with marginal talent…truly nuts
