72-57 Rox Harden with 31 12-16 with 4-5 from 3 at the half.

Too bad we don't see the dynamic duo tonight. Russ is out with a sore thumb.

Yeah that's bad, no Westbrook .. and no Payton & Frank.
The Half-Time score 72-57 says the Rocks are gonna score 120+ tonite.

DSJ with a 6-2-5-5 line at the half....

DSJ gets a lot of steals for a guy not noted as a defensive player vs a guy lot Nits who is a supposedly good defender who seldom gets steals.

Thats your guy. When he does good you talk like a proud papa, when he does bad not a word.

Gee sorry for rooting for our lottery pick to succeed. Ok lemme be like new poster of the year “Dark Hater”: RJ sucks trade him for Micheal Porter jr. Is that better for you?!!!

Just "Move the Needle"!!!

[Dark Raider]

This team has no spark. There is no energy in there plays.

I'll add to it. He needs to learn how to shoot, FTs and jump shots. I wish he could put them up like one of your Bullies Coby White who has 2 games in his rookie season hitting 7 3s. Like his game more than RJs frankly even if he's been inconsistent, if I had a do over I'd pick Coby ahead of RJ.

[Dark Raider]

How do you not use MRob more in a box and 1 zone.

[Kiyaman]

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 86 - Rockets 101

Are the Knicks playing DEFENSE ???

[Kiyaman]

Knicks 91 - Rockets 111 .. 10 min remaining in game .. Are the Knicks running back on DEFENSE ???

RJ is the 22nd highest ranking rookie according to this, Hunter who was drafted one spot behind RJ is 9th, Coby 16th.

All the reason for knowing what the TEAM NEEDS are and to trade back.

I imagine RJ would thrive in ATL and CHI and those 2 would be putrid here. Don’t forget you need to handicap and give RJ the Knicks benefit. This team is awful and has been for decades.... began season with zero leadership.

RJ is raw with flaws. Let’s hope we do a better job developing him than Frank and Knox.

I bet in 3 years, nobody is gonna complain a 22 yr-old RJ is a NYK.
