Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. So much to say bout the Raptors after losing VanVleet, OG, and Siakim
Im having problems streaming the game
 
Knicks had 8 TO in 1Q, leading to 13 points for TOr. nYK with 0 points off TO and miraculously 0 FT attempts, despite extremely aggressive and physical defense by Raptors.

NY 7-14 from downtown tho. 31-31.
 
Half Time .. Knicks 59 - Raps 57
Didn't believe the Raptors could hang with us ..
Donte with the high flying put back for 9 pts
Randle on a backboard 3-ball to grab 15 pts
Brunson 15 pts & 5 Dimes
The Raptors are missing a PF & Center in their rotation!
Quickley's back to his dynamic passing donating 8 Dimes and 8 pts.
Trent 3-3 from 3-ball line for 13 pts
Barrett 15 pts
 
Precious wid da Double-Double (19 pts & 11 reb on 9-10 FG shooting) against his Ex-Raptors team.
Knicks 126 - Raptors 100 .. That's about right !!!
The Raptors GM, and clueless coaching staff are looking at the NBA 2024 Draft Class for 2 or 3 players.
 
Knicks 26-17. At Nets on Tuesday. When was last time Knicks were 10 games above .500 before all star game?
 
I'm just saying .. In our first two meetings against the Raptors our 4 bench players (Hartenstein, Hart, Grimes, and Quickley) scored 52 pts, and then 49 points off the bench for both wins.
Our 9 man rotation at the time only needed two more backups in the rotation to step in when needed.

Leon & Thibbs have transformed roster into a modern version of what Tom had in CHI with Bulls.

Jalen Brunson shows why Knicks trade of fan favorites was needed

The appreciative cheers for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley turned into “MVP” chants for Jalen Brunson as the Knicks beat up the Raptors, 126-100.

Wsup Mafra .. That was Thibs #1 seed Bulls team that got Knocked-out of the first round.
No coaching strategy (Thibs) .. to focus on Derrick Rose MVP !!!
The Bulls had to sign an experience Kurt Thomas to the roster to show the above Bulls lineup how to get pass the first round of the playoffs .. since Jordan/Pippin.
And the 2004-5 Kirk Hinrich/Ben Gordon/Tyson Chandler was the first Bulls team to go to the playoff since Phil Jackson in 1996.

Adding a 6.8" OG Anunoby's 2-way talent in the front-court rotation alongside a healthy Mitch Robinson, 7.0" IHart, and a 6.8" Randle gives us a great push at choosing our playoff seed spot in the EAST.
Without MitchRob? It will be a struggling 6.8" SF Precious defending the PF and center position in the midseason-rotation.
