think i liked kenny more way back when, like before shaq joined. lately he takes himself so goddamn seriously, which is annoying because his analysis generally sucks, so he's mostly just boring and insufferable. they're all pretty bad at breaking stuff down, very vibes based boomer types, but that's ok, i'm here for the laughs. wish they'd spend more time just goofing around, or getting in dumb arguments where they get mad and yell at each other for a minute.

shaq has to be above kenny simply because he's occasionally funny, even though the lows of him endlessly droning on about something or other are brutal. enrie is ernie, good host, solid #2, sometimes the best. and of course chuck is king.

no inside the nba is unacceptable, but maybe some re-tooling wouldn't be the worst. dangerous game to play though.

Wouldn't mind him getting replaced.
I agree. He barely makes cohesive statements, often gets things wrong, and hates on Chuck constantly for no reason.

LMAO at calling that jump back on TJ Mack when the Free Throw Merchant himself uses that technique on every drive.

To all the Thibs haters who say

“He’s too stubborn!”
“He never makes adjustments!”

Y’all can eat **** cuz the decision to start Deuce McBride over Precious Achiuwa was a brilliant one.

I've had the game on in the background.

The Knicks are outrebounding the Pacers 36-18. The Knicks have 15 offensive rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Pacers have committed 13 turnovers compared to the Knicks 7.


My question is: How can the Pacers suck so much against a team playing on crutches?

pacers are bad. indistinguishable from your run of the mill mediocre east team.

thibs will send a message that he means business by playing starters well into the 4th quarter up 35.

Hartenstein is such an underrated passer.

He’s imo the 8th best center in the league.

In a game with a Knicks' 15 point lead at the half, 21 point lead after three quarters, and a 30 point win:

Knicks' starters minutes were Brunson 43, McBride 40, Hart 39, Hartenstein 31, DiVincenzo 30

Pacers' starters minutes were Haliburton 34, Siakim 33, Turner 30, Nesmith 28, Nembhard 28,

Seriously? What's the alternative?

Do you want to give serious minutes to:
Mamadi Diakite (who even knows this guy is in the league??)
Jericho Sims
DaQuan Jeffries (WTF kind of name is DaQuan??)
Shake Milton


?????


You guys love to nonstop slander Thibs, but the Knicks are missing FOUR key rotation guys, including 3 starters. Instead of slandering Thibs how about praising him for having the team so well prepared and ready to fight in this dire situation?

no issue with thibs running starters 40+ in close games. think you gotta take the foot off the gas in blowout games to enhance future game equity. multiple starters on the floor sub-3;00 when youre up 25+ makes no sense.

if conley and kat are permahobbled wolves are done.

Myles is just physically weak. That, and he doesn't have that "sense" that players that are good rebounders have to put themselves into position for the ball when it caroms off the rim. He almost always finds himself too close and the ball goes over his head to the defender.

A big part of it is just play design/coaching tho. There was a play in the 2nd half where Hart got forced into a bad 3 because of decent defense. Instead of touching him at all, Siakam tried to leak out for a fast break that wouldn't have been there anyway and Hart just ran up and put it back in. That's 100% on Rick for not changing that against a great OREB team.

There's an extra day off before Game 6. Knicks will be fine for that one.

KCP is an ice cold killer.

I heard he might leave in free agency this Summer and take the bag with the Spurs.

speaking of ice cold killers.. Jokic.. hot damn. Gobert aint no DPOY, Wemby would be shutting Jokic down instead.



I'd still take Brunson over him though.

Denver coming back from a 0-2 game hole to now 3-2 (in a few minutes) is an amazing narrative and a ton of EV for my futures as well

7/7. Boston should easily win it tomorrow and I see OKC sneaking by...
