Official '24 NYK playoffs thread, RD1 vs PHI

[Coupé It]

Thibs please don’t make Josh practice.

Nice adjustment by Thibs to start McBride instead of Precious-iHart

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Action Brunson. Back to back 40.

He gives Curry 40 on Monday and he’s my favorite Knick ever.

34 and a W good enough for me.

Brunson is the TRUTH!

 

[ballinsam23]

Best Knick since Ewing

 

[Korofi]

Bruh. Tibs played Josh 48 mins.....

 

[njavier03]

And deuce played 47. Fell asleep after the 1st, but pleased to see the W. Deuce and iHart have really stepped up. I’d trade Mitch to keep iHart if it came down to it.

 

[keko jones]

I wouldn't be quick to make that trade. We're uncertain about how both the offense and defense will perform with him on the team. I can envision them being formidable opponents in the playoffs with OG's perimeter defense and Mitch's rim protection. The potential of having iHeart coming off the bench alongside Precious would be incredibly beneficial too.

However, I can understand why it would seem logical, especially considering they were excelling with small ball during his absence.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

I love Mitch, but I think if it came down to one or the other I gotta go Hartenstein.

Mitch has the slight the SLIGHT edge defensively, but I-Hart is way more effective and versatile on offense. And I believe his chemistry with Brunson has been cleaner and more potent than Brunson/Mitch.

I would LOVE to get them both back for at least 1 more season next yr along with Precious. I think we are real contenders when healthy.

And if the NBA continues to trend into a more physical game, that DEFINITELY benefits/favors this roster and coach especially.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Do not want to get ahead of anything but im wondering, Whats it gonna take for nick. to change his avy to something more positive?

 

[you go boy]

good win but disappointing that OG is out again smh

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Deuce’s performance hasn’t been appreciated enough in here also.

Pretty much took Curry outta flow/rhythm all night. Basically all insignificant buckets.

47 minutes.

Career high points.

[johnnyredstorm]

Mitch should be coming off the bench behind Hartenstein moving forward. That energy defensively with second units could be crucial.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Bet

 

[njavier03]

iHart is going to command big money this offseason, and i highly doubt we keep both. offensive flow is much better with iHart and his defense has been good. Mitch is undoubtedly the best offensive rebounder and is a superior defender, but not by a large margin. Mitch being limited offensively and the social media complaining has me leaning toward trading him if i had to choose between the two.

 

[ballinsam23]

I think we can keep both. Mitch will be the first one mentioned in trades though.

 

[biggie62]

I don’t know. Ihart is going to want more than the 10 million he makes now.

 

[Hahahaha]

Impressive win, this team is so much better with OG.

We got fleeced by Detroit, both players suck ***.

I was wrong as hell about the Toronto trade. Clearly a big upgrade. Hope OG can be fully recovered for the playoffs.

I would agree with you if Grimes was cooking but there's a very good chance that knee injury is some Amare Stoudemire level ****. Dude misses multiple games weekly with knee pain and when he does play, he's been terrible. Sure he's young, but his durability and injury history could lead to him having a short career. If we traded someone of higher value then I would say we got fleeced

I’m obviously being extreme. I expect the white guy to shoot better and get it together. First time I saw Burks on the court again and I had immediate flashbacks of why I wanted him gone. He’s obnoxious out there.

 

[paulminus]

Deuce is the surprise of the season.

Deuce could've been the surprise 2 seasons ago

 

[njavier03]

Deuce could've been the surprise 2 seasons ago

i disagree. he seems to understand the game a lot better now and he has confidence in his shot. don't get caught up in meaningless G League stats.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Looking ahead at the schedule i would let Og rest until the okc game on the 31st.

After Denver we have,
Nets
Pistons
Raptors
Spurs

Should be able to beat those teams without him.

Is Jalen going to tell Sabrina in the commercial the Knicks are the best basketball team in NY
