Put on the Knicks for a little bit last night, and was extremely disappointed in the product once again. Injuries have completely obliterated this team. Brunson Robinson Anunoby Randle all out. Hard to win with 4 starters out. they play hard, but as you say, are missing out on their top talent, tough to win that way. Too bad, when mostly healthy, they were playing better then I've seen in a few decades.

I hope that they let this guy get in. I know of several players with worse resumes getting into the Basketball HOF.

Boom. Just like that we’re in 3rd place with a chance to be one game back from 2nd after tonight.
Who’d’ve thunk?

Brunson is a 🐕. That performance last night was epic, even in a loss.

Brunson is a 🐕. That performance last night was epic, even in a loss. It was quite a night. The biggest thing was that it should have been in a win. 32-12 FT disparity was bad enough, but the jump ball violation on Mitch with 30 seconds left was total horseshit.

Randle surgery. If OG is back it will be interesting to see how we perform in the playoffs. Many have said Randle simply isn’t a good playoff player. Now we will see the performance without him.

Precious has been playing well in Randle's abscence, but we certainly feel the loss of OG big time. He'll help a ton...

As a longtime Knicks fan, I just want to say it's been pretty damn fun over the last few years. We finally have something to cheer about. We're not great, but we can honestly expect to make the playoffs on a consistent basis, and with folks like Brunson we may have a chance to make a little bit of noise. Nice change of pace.

I know the Celtics had nothing to play for but the Knicks slapped them around pretty good. I don’t want the 2 seed. I’m guessing that seed means Heat in round 1. No thanks.

Who’d’ve thunk we’d have a chance for the #2 seed?
Is there a specific team we’re hoping to play in rd1?

Knicks have the 2nd slot in the east, quite a good regular season. Hopefully they can catch fire in the playoffs....Other then Randall, I think they are relatively heathly, finally, so that bodes pretty well for them.

So, Philly huh...
Maybe NY can beat Philly in this sport...
Brunson is the MVP no matter who wins it by the way. No question. Without Brunson Knicks aren't even in the playoffs yet alone a 2 seed.

Embid is seriously compromised at this point. His knee simply isn't healthy. I think we can handle them, but they are a pretty tough first round match up.

Only player with 20k career points who’s not in. He was a beast on the hardwood.. who could jump out of the gym.

I think that Antawn Jamison also has 20k career points too. I only remember that because the two were mentioned on some podcast I saw last year.

I personally think that this series could go either way, but I have the Knicks winning in 6. I have to get something off my chest. I'm a Nets fan who actually doesn't have an issue with Knicks normal fans at all. However, celebrity Knicks fans are corny as hell to me. Especially Spike Lee.

I said it Embiid probably wouldn’t play 3 games in the series. Turns out it’s looking more like one half. Unfortunate. He’s a force and amazing takent. His legs are betraying him. If I’m the Sixers his knees need to be repaired and he needs to be 230 and not 270.

During the Derrick Coleman era, I used to get 7 game packages for the Nets. Would always include a game against the Knicks, Jordan's, Bulls, Stockton era Jazz, etc, and were inexpensive. Eventually the games got annoying live and I stopped going...

If you’re a Knicks fan be hopeful. We won a game where the collective of Brunson, Divincienzo and Hartenstein were awful. That isn’t likely to continue. Embiid was essentially a decoy in the 2nd half. When the Knicks finally figured that out in the 4th the 76ers offense did nothing. I give him a ton of credit for being out there. Not way he didn’t reinjure that knee. Mitch was pushing him all over the place.

Haven't watched the Knicks in ages. I heard Clyde Frazier say that this team reminds him of the Knick teams he played with - tough D and team basketball on O.
Gotta say they were very enjoyable to watch. What a great win tonight.
