Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. We going up against the Big-Boy Champs Denver Nuggets without Mitch Robinson, and Hartenstein is questionable. Jericho Sims could really use the playing-time although, Jokic is not Claxton.
I still say, "our bench need help!". We still need to run a all bench lineup each game to see how well they co-exist together in pick n rolls .. McBride, Grime, Hart, Precious, and Sims

After the game should the Nuggets make a trade before the trade deadline?

Thibs smart by calling the timeout at 25-12 the Nuggets look like they were ready to go on a run.
Big Sims happy blocking Jokic shot

They need a bench scorer, who could also score in the 4Q if a playoff game…. Still think game 6-7 in second round vs BOS or MIL is their ceiling. If they get MIA or Philly in second round, maybe ECF.

But maybe Randle and Brunson are healthy come May… maybe shots fall. Maybe maybe maybe….

I’m not dismissing Steve Kerr’s accomplishments but we saw what happened when he didn’t have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson or Kevin Durant — the Warriors went 15-50 that season. Gregg Popovich is the smartest guy in every room (just ask him) but his record since Tim Duncan retired is 285-312.

Thibodeau finished fourth in the East three years ago with a rotation that included Elfrid Payton, Nerlens Noel, Gibson, Derrick Rose, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Alec Burks and Reggie Bullock.

All of them are gone. Three of them are out of the league. In fact, only one of the 12 players who appeared in the 2021 playoffs for the Knicks is still on the roster.
