- Start date
Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Game Thread, we got two games this week before All-Star week-end rest.
We are in Houston Texas tonight looking for a win from a Rockets team that's on a 4 game losing streak.
Both our backup centers (IHart/Sims) are day to day for tonight game.
We been putting lot's of pressure on Precious Achuwa to be our only frontcourt player in the rotation.
Back in the NBA daze of Ewing/Oakley, the Rockets Olyjuwon/Horry/Drexler would beat our Knicks by 60/70 points only having Precious Achuwa in the frontcourt.

NBA gamblers rigged this one. 33 FT attempts for HOU… 12 for Knicks. Game poised to go OT… tied game… refs call a shooting foul .3 seconds left. You’ll watch another 20,000 games and you won’t see a ref call that foul again. A loose ball scramble, grab, and 35-ft chuck shot as time expires… MVB caliber Brunson with a textbook deny. Ref blows whistle to end game. Lol
What Happen ???
The final minutes of the game was close, and in the final seconds I was watching a over-time game coming up after Brunson clutch shot tied the game @ 103, having 8 seconds remaining in game ....
We had no Hartenstein or Mitch tonight defending the paint and grabbing lot's of offensive rebounds to give our Precious Achuwa 17 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 50% FG shooting any help in the frontcourt.
Josh Hart's hustle did his best, putting us back in the game.
Never using Sims in our practice session for 3 seasons should be a 25% cut in the coaching staff pay check.
And Shh .. Bog & Burks together don't add up to half of Grimes defensive-effort.

Knicks file protest after incorrect call, sources say
The New York Knicks on Tuesday filed a protest with the NBA to dispute their 105-103 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday, sources told ESPN, and did so after the league's Last Two Minute Report confirmed the "incorrect call" on guard Jalen Brunson.
Wondering if the prostest filed by the Knicks has any chances of changing anything. I doubt the teams will meet again to play an OT period (or as many as it takes) since they don't have games against one another this season and i have no clue how can they not be penalized with a loss.
