Thanks for the Game-Thread Rady .... Not thrilled about playing the (7-22) Raptors a second time without Quickley.
 
FOUR minutes remaining in the Game, Knicks have a 20 point lead.
And players Brunson, Mikal, OG, Precious, and Hart are on the court ..
Josh Hart? Belongs on the court during garbage time, as for the rest of the lineup no.
Our coaching staff should have been experimenting with the bench lineup they been working with since training-camp for the remaining 6 or 8 minutes left in a blow-out game.
My Knicks 8 man rotation beat the (7-23) Raptors 133-125 tonight.
The Knicks bench players
6) McBride played 25 min for 12 pts, 4 reb, 5 Dimes.
7) Payne played 15 min for 19 pts, 2 reb.
8) Precious played 22 min for 5 pts, 7 reb.
9) Jericho Sims played 3 minutes
10) Kolec played 1 min
Toppin played 1 min
Shamet played 1 min
Shamet don't look like he's apart of the rotation.
Mikal performance is not exciting enough to be a consistent 41 minute player.

The past decade the NBA head-coaches have been getting silly, lazy, and careless bout their star role-players, and star players.
If you don't believe me look at all the star-players, and star role-players NBA injury list during the post season games the past 10 seasons.

The Knicks shot close to 60% from the FG, and 46% from 3's for the win over the Raptors.
OG Anunoby got his revenge on his ex-Raptors team shooting over 80% from FG to score 31 points, 7 reb, 4 ast, and 1 steal!
OG talent fits well in the team rotation, I still like OG at the 3 spot, rather than 4 spot.

KAT being KAT scored 31 points, 10 reb, and 7 Dimes .. Is KAT our first offense optIon?
I still want KAT at the 4 spot, and Sims at the 5 spot the first 6 minutes of every game to co-exist in the paint.

Brunson playmaker performance scored 12 pts, 7 Dimes, and 2 steals.
Brunson get PROPS for improving his play-maker performance throughout our 29 games, averaging close to 8 Dimes a game.

Mikal Bridges scored 14 pts, and 4 Dimes, plus hustle performance.
Mikal's 2-Way performance fits well in the rotation, however all the overtime minutes (10 minutes out of 40 minute) could be given to rookie Dadiet NBA growth at the 3 spot.

Josh Hart scored 11 pts, 3 reb, 4 Dimes
As much as I like Hart vocal leadership on the court
I still say Sims or Precious should have Hart's starter job.
