I've been hearing and reading a lot about how Maxey got robbed because of missed call on Brunson grabbing his jersey on in-bound play at end of game... yes, it's true the refs missed that. It is also true that the refs missed the glaring push off that Maxey did on Hart before Brunson's grab as...
About my Knicks: it has occurred to me over the last few games that I might be wrong about them, specifically Brunson. During this stretch he has reminded me of Jason Kidd when the Nets went to the finals, based on the simple fact that Kidd was simple the best player in every round. Brunson is...
Knicks news: Randle officially out with season ending surgery following failed rehab effort... doctors told him get the surgery now or risk permanent damage.
I'm afraid my Knicks, without their full front court, just don't have enough. They will be done early without OG, and done late without Randle. That said, with them both, they can make the finals IMHO. Guess I have to wait another year... But I'm running out of time.
Great game even though my Knicks lost. Wemby was incredible, while Brunson was electric with 24 in the 3rd to bring knicks back into the game. Great 4th qtr and OT - playoff atmosphere and now Wemby knows what it'll be like.
Watch out for my Knicks... destroyed depleted Raptors team 145-101 last night. Mitchell Robinson back - in 12 minutes had 2 blocks, 2 rebounds, 8 points... Now in 3rd, two games behind flawed Bucks team... Anunoby and Randle still out but coming back before end of season, in time for playoffs...
Well, at the end of the day they remain a tough out missing their starting front line - very much doubt there is another team in the league who could've survived the loss of their 3,4,5 players. That said, it actually seems like Mitchell Robinson, Julius Randle and OG Anunoby WILL be back for...
Anunoby is back and makes massive difference in defense and offensive spacing - even without Randle Knicks will be tough playoff out, with him they are real threat - Celts are better but don't have the defensive intensity and I think their will is suspect - can't wait!
That performance by Magic in his rookie year was sensational and let us know what was coming. There is something truly inspiring about a player who has the best game of his career in the most important game. It's rare, but look up Clyde's game 7 numbers in game 7 in 1970. With Willis down...
I think the Mount Rushmore here is Wilt, Kareem and Russell. Shaq and Hakeem were wonders to behold but couldn't reach that level. I will root for them but I very much doubt either Jokic or Embiid will be able to achieve it.
I assume most here know of Wilt, at 43 years old, taking on Magic Johnson in 1980 pickup game. Magic called goal tending on Wilt and Wilt objected. He settled it playing a one on one game to 12. Magic never got a shot off; EVERY shot attempt was blocked. Now I am one who believes that Magic was...
