Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. A must win Game in MSG
No Paolo Banchero!

Brunson's going off at the start of the game
 
I'm watching some good team-ball from the Knicks on the Magic.
KAT with the between the leg cross court pass to Brunson
 
Another 20 point Half-Time lead by the Knicks!
Half-Time .. Knicks 71 - Magic 51

KAT's final shot of the half was explosive !!!
Five Knicks players in double digit scoring by playing team-ball
KAT 14 pts
Mikal 11 pts
Hart 11 pts
OG 10 pts
McBride 10 pts
Brunson 8 pts
 
End of the 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 106 - Magics 75

Knicks got a 31 point lead .. from a 7 man rotation.
Should our bench players start and finish the 4th quarter???
 
KAT Hart and OG should not be starting the 4th quarter having a 31-point lead, plus having over 30 minutes of playing time played already in the 3 quarters. Great game, poor substitute coaching in 4th quarter.
 
Should we Knicks fans jump for joy as if we accomplish something after beating the Magics without Banchero?
What about when we beat the (6-14) Hornets without Lamelo Ball?
Or beat the young (9-14) Detroit Pistons in our next two games to have 15 wins?
Our Knicks schedule says we should have had a 15-3 record in 18 games.
Plus our next 12 games on the schedule are all games we should win !!!

So far 20 Games into the NBA season the Eastern Conference only have TWO title-contender teams (Boston/Cleveland) in the East. The Knicks 6 to 7 Man rotation didn't make it.
The Knicks have several winning players, but no bench depth in their game rotation to be considered a title-contender. Why? If the Knicks have two players injured during the postseason games the team is kaput.
