League MVP at MSG tonight. Garden fans are in for a treat seeing Harden tonight.

[tiger0330]

Knicks up 31-28 1st despite 19 pts by Harden in the first.

[tiger0330]

Fiz started Vonleh and LT in the FC instead of Kanter at C.

The other night Philly embarrassed the Harden Rockets pitifully .. could the Knicks do the same ???

Where there's smoke there's fire. Every game they talk about the kid on the broadcast, today Breen saying eventually his shot better start going in with his 34% shooting pct. and 30 from distance.

Tried on fire! 15 already... Harden has 38 so far in the first half.

Hard to see why you can't stop Harden on that coast to coast drive he made. Defenders have the whole court to get ahead of him and he always goes left but there it is, 2 Knicks down there defending him but he manages to get by them to lay it up for 2 easy pts.

Half-Time Knicks 63 - Rocks 58 .. Harden scored 36 pts in the first half ..
It was nice to see Timmy force Harden to commit offensive foul .. plus Timmy screaming on Trier for not passing the ball on a 2 on 1 fast break.
What wasn't nice to watch was Mudiay committing turnover after turnover to have 5 turnover at half time SMH

[Kiyaman]

Rookie MitchRob need to be on the court to get his career high in points, blocks, and rebounds !!!

It'll be interesting whether the Knicks decide to bring Mudiay back, he's not a starting PG in the NBA imo. Probably depends who they draft, that kid Ja Morant looks to be good, so if we don't get Zion and we pick him maybe we let him go.

Faried and Nene must go to the same barber.

Dang Harden going ham but Knicks still winning! Only the dreaded 3rd quarter where we always give up

DSJR wants out Knits and “Super Mario” straight up

[tiger0330]

MRob would be terrific on that Rockets team. Capela got 90M because of Hardens alley oops, MRob could do the same.
