Knicks vs Nuggets – Post Game Show EP 496 (Highlights, Analysis, Live Callers)

All right here we go salute to nck Nation on this Thursday evening another edition of kftv postgame live presented by Underdog fantasy go to Underdog fantasy.com and use our code kftv for our first time the posit match of up to 100 $ Nicks headed into the

Mile high city for the last of a four game winning streak going in as the Road Warriors trying to topple the Champs and despite giving it all they had man it was just too much joic too much Murray and too much Michael Porter Jr man Nicks fought valiantly for four quarters but

It just wasn’t enough as the Champs pulled away late and got the dub as they survived in Alec Burks barrage Nuggets win 113 to 100 man let’s talk about it hit that Thumbs Up Button three boys he the franchise Alex raros on the ones and

Twos 113 to 100 man Nicks fall to the Champs look man not mad at it they fought they gave it all they had they had a great road trip All Things Considered and um you know went in there high altitude and everything last game of four game Road Trip and and and put

It all on the line and um you know as I said starting off this game you saw some great Twan action from Jaylen Brunson and Isaiah hartenstein picking up where they left off in Golden State a very encouraging sign I thought overall you saw Brunson not only uh scoring but

Playmaking very well man just threading the needle trying to make his teammates better and and elevating the overall team in the first and and I thought that’s what allowed the Knicks to get out to some leads and really hang in there another thing that I liked about

Them early in this game was that you know they were able to to to keep the Nuggets off of the offensive glass and also take care of the ball so it allowed them to to keep each possession very competitive and on top of that I thought

The defense was was pretty good for the most part of the night now you know once the second quarter came came on uh nugget started to find get into that Groove and by the time he got into the half you know you knew or at least I

Figured that things were kind of going to change in the third quarter and the Knicks were going to have to stay in their aame to to have a chance but in the third quarter you saw the Nuggets really imposing their will from from joic just just being a a a magician out

There um the Nuggets really imposing their size you know Michael Porter junr throwing it off the glass you know Aaron Gordon and so you know the the Champs doing champ things really kind of set a good tone in the third quarter but in the fourth you had some spirited play by the Nick

Bench led by Alec Burks you know one minute he’s he’s he’s throwing it off the the side of the the uh the glass he’s saying we don’t need that next minute he’s splashing a couple threes he’s getting to the free throw line you know he’s scoop laying like George gin

That’s that’s just big bunny Burks for you but at the end of the day you know nuggets just uh settled back in with their starters and uh pulled away man fourth quarter is their time crunch time is is their time that’s when they kick in Championship mode and uh let’s put us

Away man your thoughts I I can tell that there’s a little uh disappointment in your heart because you really wanted that that win so that way you could go off on your guy Alec Burks and saying hey man yeah you know man n not really

Man you you’re now out of the hive then you’re going to hop back in the hive a decision man what are you doing over man you know listen I I was hoping for a miracle here tonight and that that that stretch in the fourth quarter where it

Was kind of like you know they’re down by like 13 that’s big money time go in there and and act like you you know you’re Michael Jordan like some of the fans think you are go up there and Chuck and he did that and and he kind of got

Him back into the game a fake Nick comeback led by Alec Burks isn’t that a perfect story for his for his play yes that’s exactly what he gave you he gave you a lot of no no yes and a lot of no no Nick Story perfect Nick Story man oh yeah

Absolutely but look man it was a you got to be proud of how the Knicks went out on those West Coast trip they come out three and one on the west coast trip hardfought effort as he said against the reigning Champs and the Denver Nuggets

And you know to me it’s just it’s just running out of steam and you saw in the third quarter I mean the Nuggets were able to put up 27 to the Knicks 20 points and it was really the mpj show and the joic show in that quarter mpj

Getting you nine points seven points for joic uh as well but we didn’t have an answer in the third quarter and who was going to keep up with their fire uh their Firepower right you know you had decent scoring from Dante uh you had Brunson who wed with eight points Dante

With five but then outside of that you weren’t getting anything else from those guys and if you’re not going to get if you’re not going to have the offense to keep up with the Nuggets they’re just going to be able to roll away man I mean the fourth quarter I’ll say this it

Impressive play by the second unit because you can even go back to the second quarter and the Knicks before Brunton and everybody else came back in to match joic mpj and so forth Nicks had a 41 to 38 point lead over the nuggets and that’s uh you know a unit with McBride Burks

Bonovich um you know that was a good effort by them so it wasn’t that the Knicks didn’t have the the strength of the second unit to keep him in this game which has been the story for the most part since making the trade uh for Burks and bogdanovich it’s more so there was

Not just enough offense to keep it all through all four quarters yeah yeah it just wasn’t enough I thought they got good looks throughout the night even in the third quarter that just a lot of no even Brunson just atypical quarter for him a lot of his stuff were was falling

Short and he wasn’t really connecting um Dante was off Hart didn’t have a game much of the night at all so you know even though I thought the the ball movement was good I thought they were very patient in in their attack they just couldn’t get it couldn’t get it to

Fall and and on the flip side um nuggets had a cooking Michael Porter Jr was my player to watch he’s been he’s been red hot and I thought on top of the fact that he’s been shooting the ball well the size Factor was going to hurt him

Because he wasn’t just killing him from three he was killing him from inside as well you know so um I thought tibs had to pick his poison it was either go with more offense and go small and try to keep up or go with more size a bit more

Defense sizewise but you know we went small and Knicks had their advantages here and there but then you know once the game wore on the nas kind of wore him out yeah and look I think to me what really gives an indication if this nugget team is going to roll is how

Jamal Murray is playing and I mean from the first basket you saw how he got downhill yeah got a easy layup and then just put up 10 points in the first quarter if he’s going to be that aggressive you don’t have an answer to stop him it just makes life easier for

Niik yic seemed like he was trying to trying to send a message to McBride man felt like he was trying to I think he he felt like he was he was trying to take that challenge a little personally after McBride kind of took it to the chef not

Only to McBride but Alec Burks man I mean even after the the foul in the fourth quarter he was angry you know giving all showing all emotion yeah I think he was a little nervous when the Burks flurry was coming through you know he put him on edge a little bit

Put him on edge that’s a stupid foul by Burks stupid foul it was bad yeah B Berk start was like 05 again yeah he tackled him back in 05 that would have been all right you know back in ‘ 05 a lot of things would have been all

Right yeah you can’t do that these days so yeah just just just uh you know good good fight but wasn’t wasn’t their night and they go home to fight another day but uh when we take a look at the standings here Al did the Nicks drop to fifth place yes

They did because the Orlando Magic ladies and gentlemen continue to win Orlando beating the New Orleans Pelicans uh tonight and uh don’t look now but the magic have won five in a row out so the magic have uh pushed up on the Knicks here they’ve been on their tails for

Quite some time and they move within uh half game up on the Knicks they move to half game up on the Knicks for uh for fourth in the East out and the thing that stinks about this CP is that third is there for the taking with the Cavs

Not having Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs just being so up and down you you know it’s tough to say especially against the Denver Nuggets tough to say all right they should have won this one because it is the Denver Nuggets the Denver Nuggets are fully healthy we beat the de nuggets

When we were fully healthy so to not have Randall another scoring Hub on this team makes a big imp makes big difference and it’s just hard for me to say ah this is you know they could have done anything but now you got to go back home you got the Brooklyn Nets this

Saturday yeah win there get back on track because you know do you want the four five match up with Orlando do you want to go get three and go get potentially the Pacers maybe the Miami Heat if they if they start to you know overtake the Pacers and get that six

Spot the whole the whole seating right now is going to be up in the air but if you’re the next you want homec court advantage either way yeah that that is correct man so you know the uh the key will be to take advantage of the next

Few games which should be winnable games you you not only have uh the game against the Nets you play the Raptors they also play Let’s see coming up they they have Nets Pistons Raptor Spurs right there win those four you know what I’m saying win those four right there

And then you have a tough one Easter Sunday home against the Thunder then you travel to Miami against the Heat and and there we go man we’re just about wrapping it up soon so hey who were those games again the Knicks play the uh the the Nets New Jersey Nets

Raptors oh Pistons Raptors Spurs in that t in that time span this is who the magic have to play the Kings the Warriors the Clippers Grizzlies blazes are easy but then you get the Pelicans right afterwards but no no Pi man Brandon Ingram going down with a bad

Injury tonight bad and then you and then you have the Bulls who’ve been feisty as of late especially in the second half of the Season you get the Rockets you get the Bucks you get the Sixers and then you get the Bucks again if you’re the

Magic so all right so their schule not an easy schedule for them man not an easy schedule for them they’re going to go through a little tough stretch so but let’s let’s see salute to everybody in the chat once again man hit that thumbs up button for your boy CPN

Alex on the ones and twos salute to my fanchise channel members in the chat man if you guys are fanchise channel members leave an emoji in the chat man let us know that you guys are in here call us up what your takes on the game 657 3831

159 or you can call us up on the kftv disc Discord let’s talk about it man you know what despite the loss I like ihart tonight man ihart I I liked how he battled with jic tonight he took it to him offensively defensively he was scrapping you know and he made the he

Made the Joker work that’s all you could do made the Joker work I thought his pick and roll defense was fairly good but it was just better execution by the Nuggets that’s why they’re great but on the offensive end man 20 points eight rebounds three assists eight for 10 from

The field two blocks of Steel Isaiah hartenstein continuing to elevate his game and tonight against the MVP Fearless against the MVP tonight great game by him man iHeart was incredible tonight loving a two-man game with him and Brunson need to see more that it’s potent I’m I’m loving it man

And CP it’s like tonight where you’re like you can’t love Mitch you know it’s great to see that he’s back on the court practicing went through contact yesterday but even after a night like tonight this is why you want hardstein in the starting rotation because of his

Scoring right gives up 20 gives you 20 points against the MVP you now talk about getting eight boards three steals I mean three assists one steal two blocks I mean he’s just fill in the stat sheet but it’s the passing I mean he only has three assists CP but the fact

That he’s looking for guys cutting I mean you talked about the Twan game with Brunson the fact that he’s got a good give and go from the high post stuff of that nature I mean you got to keep working off of that and when you have OG

Back when you have heart out there Dante doesn’t matter he’s always looking for the cutter and when Randall was out there he was looking for Randall as well you know who was cutting baseline or just going down the lane and so he just gives you so much versatility as a big man that

You know you see that’s only one part of it but if you’re gonna get scoring like this too 20 points from the five on the Knicks that’s unheard of that’s great you you go back to any time under Tom Tibido you get 20 points out of your Center that’s insane that’s a great

Night that’s a phenomenal night you should typically you’re winning and at some point we’re only down by five in the fourth quarter CP so the fact that you’re getting this out of hartenstein he is earning he’s getting that back this summer the way he’s been playing

All right doing a great job being a starter for this team and he’s going to put pressure on that front office to make a decision okay because it’s going to be tough to lose somebody like this that opens up the offense for the New York Knicks and I know the front office

Is thinking about that they gota they gotta find a way to keep him and today tibs talked about in terms of Mitchell Robinson um you know slow and steady is how they going to proceed with this with Mitch slow and steady is how is how they’re going to roll uh just bring him

Along slowly and and rightfully so it’s a good approach you got ihart is balling precious is doing the damn thing Sims can hold it down and they said they’re going to ramp Mitch up slowly and uh and get him ready for the playoffs so I like that doesn’t seem like you’re going to

See him Saturday against the Nets well maybe after that well according to tibs it’s going to be a uh a slow process going to be a slow process uh salute to everybody in the chat once again hit that thumb up thumbs up button for you boys Mr duns in the

The chat salute JJ TM what up Junior Koma in here Al shout out to Murphy GQ who else you want to shout out in the chat man shout out to Brooklyn Vega in the chat shout Brooklyn Vegas Brooklyn Vegas said tonight’s game means to nuggets wouldn’t wash Us in the championship

Series silver line if we would have won tonight oh boy we might have broken a record tonight we might have broken the record we been do a show until 3:00 a.m. what are we talking about here yeah yeah yeah we got JD in we got JD in the chat shout

To our guy JD yeah yeah shout out to JD oh JD said he got smoked in a fantasy draft tonight we’ll get to it we we’ll we’ll talk about it later we’ll talk about it later I don’t need to you know check the check the

Stats sounds like I won if he’s in here if he’s in here chirping early I have a feeling my team one tonight hey I was on a two game winning streak against all you these drafts you definitely were who hoodies vintage shout out guy hoodies vintage out five out super chats it’s

Moral victories aside that was a winnable game Champs are not questionable lineups particularly too much small ball simple tweak SM coaches do you know what you know we’ve seen this all the time from a lot of championship teams man from the Lakers Dynasty to the Spurs like championship

Teams they always look vulnerable in in those spots between the third and fourth quarter like yo if we would have done this that and the third and then it it they they just pull away in the end man that’s what that’s what the nuggets did

Man they always make it seem like that I mean this is look the nuggets are just a well-oiled machine at this point the the way that they’re handling the second half of the season is that of a championship roster right you see how even at the beginning of the season they

Weren’t really gunning for first but now they’re in the mix for first and they can they can get it right there they’re second right now right they’re 49 and 21 yeah versus OKC but for a long period of time they were hovering between three and four right now but what the Nuggets

Do man is that they just know how to Pace themselves throughout the season and in the game and you even see it tonight the Knicks were toet to- toe going into the into the half with this team nuggets come out of the third quarter saying all right it’s time to

Put this team away because we don’t want them to hang around too long and then you see that even though the Knicks were able to make a comeback in the fourth the Nuggets had done so such a a good enough job at getting ahead in the third

That it was just too tough for the Knicks to overcome and whether that’s the Nuggets knowing that look this is high altitude so they got to adjust to our Arena whether it’s that they’re on the fourth game of West Coast trip the last game so they’re probably done with

All the traveling they want to go home already it doesn’t matter they’re still they just know how to lock in and execute every single play half court transition so forth that’s that’s why it’s funny when we try to Crown all these other teams like even it for the

Celtics you’re like oh well the Celtics look they’re they got the best team right now it’s like well the best team is still out there just cruising right now in the west and give credit to the to the Nuggets because they did what they had to do man this is just a well

Seasoned team did what they had to do man uh shout out to Kirk Cain Kirt Cain five out super chat AL says uh been a few seasons since I down donated shout out to CPN Al we need a sweep of these next four yeah definitely got to get

These next four no no question about it shout out to Kirk cop a now uh to the phones we go man 757 what’s your name where you calling in from Hello 757 y yo yo hey oh shoot man what’s going on hey how are you man I’m always good brother hey yeah

Long time the Nicks is looking amazinga who it is sorry this this I said the Knicks are looking amazing man this this is B Taylor the Knicks are looking amazing I mean yeah we took a loss today but come on now these guys are fully healthy they’re Championship Squad we’re

Working with the bare bones here there’s no need to be down in the dumps on you know I’ve been seeing a couple little comments and everything people got things to say there’s no need to say anything yeah they all right we’re looking great yeah yeah no we’re not

Looking all right we’re looking great I mean Tony the Titan okay Jaylen Brunson is doing Jaylen Brunson things we still need OG to come in I mean we we’re playing a little lackluster like you said hartenstein he’s putting the numbers in I think he got his career high tonight tib is

Making adjustments that he needs to make the bench is playing Amazing your boy Burks was in his Birkin bag tonight I mean he had a little downplay but he played great okay what more is there to say yeah you you’re right on that man definitely pre appreciate the call man

Pause wow that was a that was a loud pause is that part of the new testing out the soundboard you’re just testing out a new sound new s new soundboard is that it yeah so yeah we working through it man we working through it we tested out the soundboard

Uh shout out to the Ry Manimal Chuck the out uh final score not indicative uh says scrapped all road trip Champs threw their best blows at us we wanted a crucial swings here and there but they couldn’t put us away every possession matter tonight our front line is

Formidable yeah he had some good play there by uh by by precious iHeart for sure iHeart leading the way just you know heart didn’t have it tonight man definitely didn’t have it so yeah man I mean I think the it’s always tough because I feel like there is there are teams that can

Equalize Josh Hart and any team that’s got height wingspan um that also plays physical will be will be that equalizing Factor towards Josh har and that’s what the ne Denver Nuggets do I mean you know we had Josh har playing the before today right right I mean you’re gonna have him

Playing against uh mpj and not oh not NP not mpj Aaron Gordon you’re gonna have him go against Aaron Gordon I mean Aaron Gordon is a bigger Josh Hart stronger versatile does the same exact thing a gritty player right versatile that’s a tough match up for Josh Hart because Aaron Gordon was that

Key factor in the finals last year I mean this is no knock on Josh Hart but there were just some there’s some teams that he won’t be able to go full Josh Hart mode yeah this this was just night where you know the size was going to

Hurt him this the size was ultimately going to wear them down uh starting with the joker and then you know going on down but I thought Porter Jr what you know not just killing him from outside but also on the inside that’s that’s how you knew that the size was uh was going

To be an issue Denver beating the Knicks on the glass 42-31 and so there it was you know there there it was uh salute to everybody in the chat once again hit that thumbs up button for you boys $10 Super Chat Al from hasib is King it says it won’t be

Easy but if we want to continue to build around Brunson and get to Championship status Mitch might have to go look at how the Celtics dealt Robert Williams I like the chemistry with ihart okay I mean listen we we got a long way away from from the uh from the

Off season he’s on the team let’s figure out how to get him back in there because you know a a healthy Mitch or a fresh Mitch Mitch right he missed 47 games you get Mitch back fresh and hope that he’s in good shape that can’t can’t do anything but help this

Team a healthy Mitch on the defensive side will be definitely impactful but how long do you think it’s going to take for him to get back into Rhythm right he just started contact yesterday yeah B based on based on the statement from tibs it seems like it’s going to be a

While based on how they’re treating it you know what I’m saying they want to take yeah time with it yeah I mean he injured his what he injured his was anle surgery yeah ankle surgery yeah so you don’t want to rush him back from ankle surgery and just you know get hurt again

So it’s going to take time for him to get back into Rhythm to get back into game shape you know much different I think we’ve seen that with any player that has come back from an injury it just takes him time to find their Rhythm and you know my biggest thing thing

About Mitch when he joins his team is will he have that lateral quickness which is so important for the pick and roll defense that he gives his team that if Mitch is going to be Mitch and you going to think about him as def defensive anchor he needs to be ready to

Move laterally and keep the the ability to back pedal and make sure he’s capable of protecting the rim so this it’ll take time for him man but yeah I’m not ready to say think about shipping Mitchell robton this off season I want to see what it looks like tra my

Guy tra my guy man block nness forgot about my guy man not here for no block nness slander what are we talking about trade this guy we’re in the middle of March we’re in a dog fight we just dropped to fifth in the East F we got to focus at the task

At hand man 14 games left we got to get homec Court fourth seed lock it down and you’re going to need his defense yeah yeah all hands on deck next man up you never know what’s going to happen man jeez JJ and the chat saying trade

Mitch well we know we know what JJ’s all about man these guys well who knows you know JJ wanted RJ out of here now RJ’s the most efficient guy we’ve ever seen if you trade Mitch does he get offense does MIT Robertson get offense if you trade

Him look how that works man just just got to give it time let it marinate we need everybody back on Deck everybody back on Deck man uh 347 347 what’s your name where you calling in from hey what’s up it’s JB from Brooklyn JB how you feeling man I’m good man how

You doing bro good man good good so okay let’s talk about this we know we cannot have Mitch and hartstein next season if you have to pick One MH which one are you picking and be honest yeah I mean as of right now of course you’re gonna take hardenstein right like hardstein of

Course yeah of course of course like do you think he’s better for the offense is that why absolutely and and he and he’s a formidable defensive player I mean Mitch is not an Untouchable player by any stretch like let’s not get carried away here we’re not you know it’s not Will

Chamberlain here it is is there is there a situation where maybe we give Mitch some minutes to up his value you for a trade I I don’t think it has anything with a trade you know they’re going to play him right they’re going to play him

Over precious and play him to back up hardenstein but I don’t think it will have anything to do with the trade they’re gonna play him because they they want to they want his talent out there yeah I mean we haven’t seen Mitch with OG in the full Squad yet either

Yeah we haven’t who knows that can change that can change everything I’m looking forward to seeing that because I I think they can really get after yeah um also can I say that uh maybe bigb is uh a little bit better than quickly for the squad well we’ll have to see in the

Playoffs quickly didn’t show up in the playoffs will McBride McBride has been looking knocked down yeah he’s knocking down now he’s doing it now play off is where you earn your check man you know I feel you well yeah yeah man well I love you guys you guys do a

Great job man yes sir appreciate the call man call back have a good night yes sir all right what do you think al man my goodness can’t we just appreciate people that have helped us man we never appreciate nice we never we always want to compare man we always want to compare

My goodness we we said Thank you to quick and RJ for helping turn this team around now it’s what now we’re is so and so better than quickly we just try to get get all these guys out of here do we next thing the next

Goal is going to like do we really need Julius back that’s going to be the next one we don’t need Julius back that that’s what are you all saying about us behind our backs that’s that’s what they’re gonna say oh man but no like look I get the

Idea of trading Mitchell Robinson he as you said he’s not Untouchable but can we just see what it looks like first before we just start like right what if what if let’s just put it out there what what if you have enough offense in that starting rotation for

The Following Season where you’re like you know what having a lob threat in Mitchell Robinson who is by the way one of the most e Elite offensive rebounders Elite defensively yeah is just as fine with like having hartenstein out there I mean we won’t know we won’t know until

We see it that’s why I want to see all this first before saying move somebody out of here okay look you’re gonna have shooting from Brunson OG Randall if you have Dante out there the paint’s open for Mitch then I mean we and I’m just not quick to just be

Like let’s throw this guy out on the sidewalk just because he on man he’s injured I get it I get it hardstein has been more durable he gives you more offense and all those things but can we please just how is quick how is quick getting catch and Strays out here man

He’s up in the six minding his business doing the damn thing he’s been playing well his Quick’s been playing well you talk about double doubles he’s averaging what 16 and four he’s shooting 40% from three dude and this guy’s averaging assists like there’s no tomorrow he’s giving you like six seven assists I

Think there was one game where he had what like eight like 14 assists or something of that nature why are we doing quick like that man what’s up with that and P please like McBride’s been awesome awesome okay knockdown three great defense improving as a playmaker he word improving yeah but let’s not

Make it what quick was as a six-man for this team please the man was second place should have won first in six Man of the Year let’s just let’s let’s let’s compartmentalize these guys like what they did and what they meant for the team all right let’s let’s stop trying

To make someone better over the other Brooklyn Vega in the chat asking after Nicks ever played the Magic in the playoffs I don’t think so I don’t think they ever played the Magic in the playoffs bro no no yeah I don’t I don’t think so because like

They definitely they never did in the Shaq and Penny days they never did and then the magic went in in into a slump while the Knicks were still kind of like making it and then when the Dwight days the Knicks weren’t good for most of the Dwight

Era so yeah and then if you think about even when they had foran and all those guys like DJ Augustine like Nicks weren’t in that race at all no like it was the magic were like consistently that seven8 seed in the playoffs while the Knicks were either let’s see I guess

Were they even that good with Melo there like I I just we were never there m they made it three out of of four they made it this first three years they made it but they never played magic though right no that’s what I’m saying like even with

Mels here like I can’t remember if the magic were in the playoffs and if so like we never faced them yeah it was never in the cars no they never never played him in the in the playoffs man Orlando might be one of the spots man might be the location

Bro I have I’m not afraid of the Magic in the playoffs much better than Cleveland they’ll be tougher yeah they will be tougher do not get me wrong they will be tougher because they play a physical game they play how the Knicks played last season yep right not a great

Three-point shooting team but they play physically uh but that will be their downfall unless they get to this magic shooting like hot streak like the heat did in the playoffs where they can just out of nowhere start shooting from downtown ain’t no way I don’t believe that I don’t believe that at

All I can’t see that happening at all man salute to everybody in the chat once again hit that thumbs up button for your boys CP and Alex on the ones and twos Al we got to salute some of our sponsors of tonight man first SP up is our friends

Have played the Magic in the regular season 130 times magic currently have the record uh season alltime record 67 to 63 zero times in the playoffs have they met yeah zero in the playoffs zero definitely zero in the playoffs so well hey there’s a first time for everything I was just going to

Say that man great great great line great line now great great line man all right let’s see who else we got man Harrison Dolan on the Discord Harrison how you feeling man Harrison Dolan are you there okay we’re hearing it all right Harrison go ahead and uh back out the

Discord and in the meantime let’s go to Omar from the Bronx Omar what’s good yo what’s up guys me okay yeah lad and clear how you feeling bro yeah man I hope all is well um so I just want to make two quick points first and foremost

Like I think these last three weeks of the season three seeds should be the goal and the main reason is because if we get the three seed I believe we avoid Boston second round so the three seers would didn’t reach I know we dropped a fifth but let’s not overreact like we

Got four very winnable games we should go four and0 this next stretch and hopefully with Cleveland Mitchell out we should be able to You Know What’s happen to that three seed um and secondly like this Julius Randle situation like all the reports honestly like I’m sure he’s going to be back but

If he’s gonna come back and not be effective like if he’s gonna be anything other than the bully ball Randall honestly I’d rather not even have more on the court I know that sounds crazy we might throw the allstar thing out there and all that but if he’s not gonna play

That bully ball type style we may be a better off without him on the court like we don’t need him out there jacking up shots taking you know ill advised two-pointers go going back to that old Julius Randall we don’t need that if he can come back be healthy play bully ball

And take threes you know on occasion that’s fine if the way he’s been playing throughout the year but if he’s going to be out there just to be out there it may be more of a detriment because this team is clicking there’s a lot of good

Chemistry there’s a lot of depth OG I’m not too worried about even if it’s not 100% OG’s one of those guys you just plug in play just his presence is is you know impactful but Randall it’s either he’s affecting us positively or he’s bringing us down completely so so you

Know I know that’s kind of like harsh because he’s the allstar this year and all that but if he’s not going to be healthy he’s going to and he’s going to let that affect his game and style of play more importantly we may be better off without him if that’s the

Case yeah I mean we just GNA have to wait and see man you know like we just GNA have to wait and see it’s a very tricky situation still not cleared for for physical contact It’s Tricky situation man I don’t know what to expect at this point

I don’t know what to expect either but I’m not in the camp of just not playing him even if he’s not that same bully ball you still have to respect his game like even with him being not fully healthy you still have to honor who he

Is and still have to play that game that you think he is going to bully ball yeah and with that you’re going to open up shots for guys on the perimeter and potentially open up the lane for him dep depending where he is on the court I’m

Not in that like if he’s if he’s fine enough to play you gotta play him like that’s just how I feel about it you got you’re gonna have to honor him if you’re an opposing team either way I’m not in this Camp of and I was I was tuning into

The last show even with the guys who were you know asking for Rand to come off the bench that was holy cow people yeah yeah no they they’re gonna have to go with him man and and see how it got to go with them gotta go with him just when that will

Be I’m thinking first game in the playoffs bro like I said I hope that it’s not I hope it’s like five some OD games before the playoffs man it just doesn’t doesn’t seem like it’s it’s worth gambling on in the middle of the regular season because the minute he bumps it he’s gone

Again at least that’s what it seems like right I mean that’s how they’re making it out to see I mean the fact that they’re being this cautious with him makes it seem like the injury makes it seem like he’s going to need offseason surgery which I wouldn’t be surprised

And if they’re that worried about him getting reinjured it leads to what you think of him playing for the first time in the playoffs and you’re putting him on Ice until then but once again he’s a rhythm player yeah and you’re taking a gamble so time either way you’re taking

A gamble if you have him play before the playoffs you’re taking a gamble if he starts in the playoffs taking a Gamble yeah it was a tough call between this and OG CP it is rough rough it’s rough how do you feel about OG right now uh I think he’ll be fine yeah I think he’ll be all right I could see him being another guy that’s like first game in the playoff type you

Know just just just let let the information go down just let them chill you know what I’m saying yeah I I could totally see that happening but I I I’m I have more confidence in him being closer to himself way more confidence in him being closer to himself than Julius I mean

He’s he’s a role player so but even still to to not not even just offensively but defensively like I’m fine with him Julius is is way more of a fluid situation I don’t know what makes you give more I mean OG hasn’t OG’s notoriously known for missing games because of his yeah being

Injury-prone right so what gives you what gives you more confidence in OG being ready for the playoffs over Julius well to me they’re kind of in the same bucket I would say because if you know none none of the none of the reports um you didn’t really get much

Like conclusive reports right for one they said the MRI came back clean so then if it’s just routine soreness or tendon night that’s something that should go down you know maybe something flared up on that’s something that should go down with time ice pee whatever it is and just a

Little physical that like something that’s something that should take care of itself just over time to calm down well with Julia situation it just seems like something that is like you already know that it’s in bad shape and that you you’re you’re going to be you are susceptible to dislocating it again

With OG according to to people you know you can’t you can’t reagg gravate a bone spur if it’s already cleaned out so I just feel like you know it’s easier to rely on on him rather than uh than random yeah and I I think for me is

That the concern is that even though you can’t reinjure re-aggravate a bone spur the fact is that he is a player that likes to play at 100% we we know this and look we heard him Yelp against the Portland Trail Blazers I just want to be healthy for

The playoffs because if he just it just does not seem like a guy he doesn’t seem like a guy who’s going to play through injury that’s the one thing I can say about Randall he will play through any injury possible we saw him do it against

With the ankle we saw it numer we’ve seen it numerous times with Randall and that’s what Tom tiido loves about Randall and Praises about Randall he will play through soreness injury no matter what OG a little different it’s a different situation to me to me they’re

Both guys that I’m like we can get to the playoffs I have do I think I would be confident in OG I guess the difference is we don’t know how Rand will perform in the playoffs we’ll have an idea of how OG will perform in the

Playoff can have an idea of how OG will perform in the playoffs my thing is that with both of them I’m not so sure that they will both complete the playoffs I I think I think OG’s playing hella high order man that that inj all

That 100% [ __ ] is going to go out the window he’s it’s money time man it’s money time he’ll do that he’ll do that next season Once he gets the bag it’s time to go get the bag so even if he’s at 70% he’s going out there bro trust me

Bro could you argue the same point saying that if he gets injured this off season that w his value by instead of being that 100% guy I don’t think so I I don’t think I don’t think he can I don’t think he can hurt his value if

He goes out you don’t think the Knicks would want to protect him at all costs because of same thing like Randle you want to see the future value out of him it’s money time man it’s playoffs playoffs I think he I think he’s G’s he’s going to be out there

Definitely gonna be out there if he wants those 30 bags he’s going out there ain’t no sitting out they know my no he’s got to be out there man there’s no way bright lights and I heard they jacked out the prices of playoff tickets heard season ticket holder yeah

So heard season ticket holders are getting hit so Jimmy D Jimmy D wants his wants his PR Jimmy D wants his bread man third time in four years back time in four years man what do you guys think in the chat let’s uh let’s get Harrison Dolan back up here on the

Discord Harrison Dolan go ahead and unmute your mic Harrison Dolan going once arrison said he fixes he fixes his audio man are you there he said he fixed his audio he’s gone again all right Harrison try again man maybe third time a charm 646 on the phone 646 what’s his

Name where you calling in from 64 yo hello hey what’s up man this is Steve I’m from Harlem Steve what’s good Harlem USA how you feeling man chilling man chilling chilling y I just want to say one quick thing I know bogey is catching a lot of slly and I

Gonna lie I was always a big fan of bogy but what I what I’m noticing is TI I don’t know what it is with ti like he I know he has a specific play style that he likes but bogy is not a spot up shooter out the gate he’s more of a

Rhythm ISO scorer like he needs to create his own buckets like maybe one or two shots where he kind of creates his own buckets and then he can turn into a spotter from there once he has a rhythm going I think just kind of playing him

In the corner it’s yeah he can hit an open shot now and then but I think really to start his game off he needs like a good Wing or top of the key iceo maybe create something for someone else like he he has to dribble himself into a

Rhythm almost and I think he hasn’t really had a fair opportunity to do that just yet but I think once tibs figures that out we don’t have a lot of iso players Jaylen Brunson burs arguably and maybe B um boan is our only ISO players

And Randle was a lot of iso so being that rand’s not there any I think maybe give bie a few more ISO plays and see how that works out and then we can decide like if this is a total bus in that yeah I mean I don’t know man from

The iso plays I see him doing he’s he’s not quick he has no quickness he’s getting beat to his spots and then he’s he’s just getting desperate and that’s when that’s that’s when he gets in trouble two games in a row he uh he he got his pockets picked by by trying to

Force those crosscourt passes to Burks in the corner it happened in the Golden State game and it happened tonight against the Nuggets it’s just like once they beat him to a spots they already know where he’s going to go he’s got nowhere else to go so they just jump

Into his passing lanes and snatch it from him so I don’t know I I think you know maybe more time you know is it more time with Jaylen is it what happens when Julius comes back and and he’s able to play off of those guys a little bit more

I just feel like right now a lot of like CK was saying the same thing like yeah he’s a better player when he puts the ball on the floor but but I just don’t I haven’t seen it so far man that’s fair to say man I just want

To say shout out to y’all um I recently just start tuning in I love what y’all do apprciate Alex shout out to him too um you feel me just keep going I’m really rocking with y’all appreciate it man Steve from Harlem World Harlem stand up appreciate the call man call back

Anytime go ahead out I mean Bogie’s been doing his ISO thing though since he’s been on the Knicks I mean he’s been given that free reign and sometimes he gets you 20 points sometimes he does what does tonight so both I mean it’s a mixed bag man but the thought is for him

To be a spot up shooter and we’ve definitely see him spot up he could be a fine spot up shooter it’s just will Randall help I think Randle will help yeah I think Brunson helps when he’s out there as well but it’s also just making

Sure that we find him and get him in Rhythm I mean that’s also due to his teammates who he’s out there with the second unit I mean if you’re gonna have Burks going in and out between the guy that’s like I’m going to be aggressive get my pocket stolen by Jamal Murray and

Then Force indu McBride to have to take a charge yeah I mean that’s that’s going to be the thing and then it’s going to be a game of your turn my turn and that’s you know that kind of does play to what you want from bogie but then it’s not so great when

You watch bogie out there trying to create an isolation all the time yeah and what is with the with the Boda nickname man I see JD there Boda we’re not giving this guy a nickname man oh talk to Cody gu man Cody gu called him

Well Bumble stumble and blunder Burks shout out to Ari from Taiwan all right who else we got in here okay we we’ll try Harrison Dolan in there again and and uh we’ll load up Will from Li sh to everybody in the chat Nick L’s 113 to 100

To The Good the uh Denver Nuggets man 113 to 100 man all right let’s try it again uh Harrison Dolan Harrison Dolan go ahead and uh I’ll mute your mic can you hear me this time yes sir loud and clear okay sorry about that I don’t know

What Discord was doing how you guys doing good man how you feeling man I’m feeling good listen man um I feel like a lot of us here in Nicks Nation are not living in the present and what I mean is we’re worrying about the off season in regards to iHeart and Mitch

When what we should be focusing on is that this is probably the last time we’re gonna have a playoff run with iHeart and Mitch on the team okay and yeah like these guys are both going to protect the rim at an elite level for 48 minutes and that’s not an advantage

Going to have next year most likely yeah and people are forgetting just how good Mitchell Robinson is the guy that eliminated the Cavaliers last year and yeah oh we got we gotta clip you man we got to clip you your audio’s clipping a little bit well we get it you

Says you says we got to appreciate what we have gotta appreciate what we have all right uh will from Li will you up next man go ahead and unmute your mic hey CP Alex you guys got me L CL how you feeling good bro good bro and hey I

First off I just got a second off uh second what that guy said and second to what you guys have been saying cuz the slander has been crazy especially from Ari okay well we went to that uh the Nick fan party shout out to you for that

Nick Fan event AR was talking crazy with these hot takes and trading Mitch for you know some some basketballs or something crazy no we’re not doing that we’re not doing that but um either way I did want to talk to you guys about uh specifically anobi and Alex already

Touched on it a little bit but I was looking at uh the the recent article from Stephen Bondi when he was talking about uh anobi and how he re-aggravated his elbow and you know one thing he said in the article is that you know from his tenure in you know from Toronto that

People around him said that he did he’s not the type of player to like to play through injuries very much what Alex said so you know I’m thinking about this like I’m still happy for the tra you know and Shout to RJ and and quick for doing their thing over there in Toronto

But the idea is if he is injury pone and he also does not like to play through injury we are GNA need a backup and it’s GNA have to be something solid because as much as I don’t know if we would have won today if he would have been in the

Game but what I bet you that uh uh what what what’s his name mpj he would have he would have not gone off the way he would have you know we would have had a body to throw at him and it’s just like if you’re really gonna hold so much of

The defense on anunobi but yet now I’m I’m not gonna say what everybody else was saying on Twitter they’re saying that you know anobi is not tough enough to play through the injuries and that’s just like a thing but I’m just saying if he’s going to be one of the anchors for

Our defense and then you lose Mitch you know this defense is not going to be this year I mean next year what it was this year that’s all I’m going to say but I just want to get your points on that do you think that anobi you know do you think that’s going

To be an issue going forward that he’s not g to want to push through injuries even when he has them and I will say and we do we do have to mention of course this season he is a technically a free agent he may not want to mess up his bag

So you got to put that into play but at the same time I would just hope that after we sign him that I don’t know this elbow injury is very weird I just never seen a player out so long for an elbow injury I’m not saying he’s not tough I’m just saying he

Might be cautious but going forward I I hope that this is not the norm but either way I’ll lead you guys to it thank you yeah certainly hope it’s not the norm you know but he has had a h history of uh of nagging injuries or knick-knack injuries I guess you can

Call it like there’s a variety of them um I think he’ll be ready man I think he I think he’ll be fine for the playoffs uh but yeah they they will need depth they have two draft picks coming up in the draft we’ll see if they intend to

Keep both or do they move one do they move down and and uh go for depth which you could see in a draft like this but either way I think they should look to uh to either get uh you know a two three combo or a or 34 combo somebody with

Some versatility you know pton Watson type you look at a pton Watson man with the wingspan and the athleticism that he has that’s why I like to see the Knicks go uh and bring that off the Ben I’m just concerned because you know and it’s not saying that he won’t play in

The playoffs but just a history of him being in and out not liking to play through injury as wool also brought up it’s just a concern because he is so important to what the Knicks do defensively that if you’re not going to have him and you made a trade

For him and he’s not going to be available all the time it’s big if you tell me that you don’t have him through the regular season and then you you don’t have him through most of the regular season you have him every single time of the playoffs I’ll gladly take that

But well I wouldn’t say I would gladly take that it depends if you’re playing he needs to be playing like 50 60 games throughout the regular season and then making the playoffs that’s let me put let me put some numbers on that but if he’s going to be missing the

Playoffs when he’s going to be so important that’s tough man yeah that’s really tough and I’m just like and Point like look he is going to be a free agent he’s worrying about his bag too he wants 30 40 million whatever it may be you know you get hurt this off

Season let’s be real that L is your value you talk about a man quickly who’s looking for an extension right he didn’t play well on the playoffs ruin those contract talks you know how that would come up it doesn’t matter how you know buddy buddy everybody is in this in this

Uh in in the business side of uh the NBA business is still business they’re going to bring up everything that you did or haven’t done when they get to the table oh well you didn’t play this many games throughout the regular season well you know you didn’t play this many games in

The playoffs oh well you know you didn’t perform this way in the playoffs right so why are you deserving in this bag you know it I know it everybody else knows it so for OG why would he even take that risk if he’s not 100% to you

Know go go get injured in the playoffs or aggravate something I hope I hope I’m I hope that he does man I hope hope that he because you know we’ve heard the rumor that he wants to be in New York he wants to play for this team that he

Should go out there and do that he’s looked great on this team perfect fit perfect fit he should want to go out there and perform but the injury history stuff man I can’t Overlook that that’s just who he is that’s who he has been so to everybody in the chat once again hit

That thumbs up on fre board CP and Alex on the ones and twos uh Nicks loose to the Nuggets man 113 to 100 here are some of the key stats of the night key stats of the night presented by Underdog fantasy and uh when you look at this one

You know both teams came out the gates hot I think the Nuggets were shooting like 60% at the half Knicks were around 50 the Nicks finish shooting 48% uh from the field and the Nuggets 53% damn near 54 from three uh the niick shot 35% 30

Just 30% for the Nuggets one of the better assisting teams in the league nuggets beat the Knicks by three in the assist department 31-28 they outrebounded the Knicks 42-31 uh Nicks only 10 turnovers leading the 13 Denver points I thought the Knicks should did a good job hold taking

Care of the ball which was which was definitely critical when you’re on the road against a great team like this nuggets also 10 turnovers leading to 15 uh Nick points off a turnover so both teams were uh fairly good at protecting the ball but points in the paint is is

Where things got dicey for the Knicks man they lost by 20 66 to 46 uh the Nuggets really just imposing that will with their size and uh there was just too much for the Knicks to to uh to handle largest lead for the Nuggets 14 largest lead for the Knicks

Six what do you think out and Lead changes in this game which was which tells you how competitive this game was especially the start but unfortunately once he got to the end of the second quarter and then all the second half it was the nuggets game and the Nuggets ran

Away with it but the big thing you know we get at Second Chance points too the Nuggets were able to dominate on getting their on offensive rebounds and just getting some more points in the Knicks word which is a which is a category the Knicks usually thrive in but not tonight

So then you also talk about points in the paint which adds up to their second chance opportunities and then they just dominate on fast breaks man I mean in all those categories you just see that especially in Second Chance opportunities fast break points nuggets just were able to dominate in those

Categories and just expose the Knicks in tonight’s game so the Nuggets didn’t even shoot that well they shot 30% from three yeah but they were able to get on transition and get to their spots in the paint just to get more efficient looks and so that’s

All wrote for the New York Knicks man but they made it close man yeah they made it close true indeed true indeed man all right um so let’s take a look at this the key stats of the night brought to you guys by Underdog fantasy go to

Really been going at it him and Demar de R rozan got into a got a little smoke going tonight Z green 26 points four rebounds yeah I think that looked personal three assists one steel one block for Jaylen green I had kin capella KD not doing too much right now 194 and

Two three blocks for KD though not bad then TK had vavich CK’s in third place right now two quarters left he’s got vvi Giannis who didn’t do too much on from a fantasy standpoint uh you got Kyrie Fred Van Fleet bogdon bogdanovich and Yousef nurkic and then your team Al you got one

Have a Josh Hart night yeah but hey you live and you learn CP you you learn it’s one of those things so so right now you know JD’s in in first for right right now but um you know team franchise is not done yet we’re not it’s interesting

How JD was like oh I’m losing JD this is very good uh you know very good play on your part say that you’re losing you rais the you rais the hopes of everybody yeah it’s good acting it’s good it’s good acting by by JD tonight man so it

Is it is what it is um let’s see who else we got on here said games are over I’ll send you guys a treat see 718 what’s your name where you calling it from 718 hey what’s up it’s s again from the Bron how you doing man hey how are you

Man doing good man as I wait on hold there’s so much more that I want to talk about let go I’ll try to keep it short first thing I’ll say though is I gotta give a shout out to DUS McBride because I felt so bad for this guy out there

Having to chase Jamal Murray around all these screens and Jamal Murray personal Curry he’s so much bigger and stronger and I’m just watching this dude taking screens by yogic and DeAndre Jordan I’m like damn I feel bad for this he’s probably in a cold tub still as we speak

Yeah but uh um but two things you had two callers that said something and I wanted to kind of give some context to why what they said was wrong so Omar was talking about oh and Julius comes you know maybe we don’t play Julius he’s gonna be hurt he can’t play bully ball

Listen what Alex said is right you got to play him because for the sole reason of the fact that when you have Julius out there it allows for the pressure to be taken off of Jaylen Brunson for not having to deal with blitzes and double

Teams all game long so if Julius can go you put him out there just for that alone just for that alone is going to help the whole entire offense so you gotta have them out there okay that’s number one um now with bonovich okay if now I’m a former ball

Player I play a little bit of college ball that’s why I love listening to JD talk because we have a very similar mind when you look at bonovich and the way that he’s playing right now he is playing like he thinks he’s a mercenary like they told him we brought you here

To come score right so he’s like oh word I’m gonna I gotta go out here and score but he actually is a spot up shooter so the problem is is that those spot up shots are not Landing so he’s in his mind he’s like well if these aren’t

Dropping I got to make something else happen so I can continue getting these minutes and I can continue try to contribute to this team in some way but when you do that and you’re forcing things that’s when you’re making bad decisions and you see him take some shots and you’re just

Like yo my man what are you doing and you’re begging for the guy to go back to the bench and you’re starting to look at him like yo is this oner but with a little bit more of a bag and that’s when you start to get really really pissed

Off at him but what I like about what Burks did tonight was that you can see that he slowly starting to let the game come to him even though he had a couple of plays today where I’m just like bro what are he doing yeah but you could see

That he was trying to get more into the flow of the offense make a make a move maybe make it look maybe uh find a read and make a pass before he actually goes straight into let me create something for myself and make it happen so he’s getting out of that mercenary mindset

Slowly but surely but you know on a night like tonight you know you got to tip your hat to the guys just for giving the effort that they give because it was yo you look at that lineup over there in Denver and what we had to put out there

This like a rough one yeah yeah but but shout out to the team for playing so hard and giving us something yeah respectable to watch so I’ll leave it there appreciate the coot man yeah you know a Ab he took took a couple of Chucks but had to do what he

  1. We’ll be 3rd after next week ya’ll, trust. Don’t know if we’ll end there but we gon taste it

  2. Tough loss record wise. Now in 5th. I'm surprised they started Deuce against this way bigger Den lineup. Murray had two good moments in the game, but for most of the game, Deuce had him locked up. MPG was cooking us the whole game with them 3s. IHart did great slowing down Joker as much as he could. We could've won this… I'm surprised Brunson had 26. It felt like he didn't do much this game besides assists. I was waiting for him to have one of his takeover moments. He was 1/2 from the free throw line. 10 attempts from us at the strip, and 11 for Denver. Mild game.

  3. Randle is going to need surgery if he plans on continuing to play in the NBA. There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Once you dislocate your shoulder, without surgery, it can slip out the socket easily.

  5. Thibs should have left Burks in to close and left Hart on the bench. DEN made it a point to keep Hart off the glass so he couldn’t push tempo to get easy baskets, and Hart was almost useless in 1/2 court due to outside shooting deficiencies.

  6. Sometimes I feel we are the most dumbest ungrateful fans on the planet earth. We are in a middle of a Playoff run.We got good play to great play from our back up center. Mitch is doing all he can to get back.So we can make a push in the playoffs.We look like a finals team at times especially when everybody comes back. But all we're talking about is next season trading Mitch. Can we all just concentrate on getting healthy?And make a push in the playoffs.Possibly if we're all healthy with (Mitch) starting or off the bench, we can finally win the finals.🙄🤦🏾‍♂️💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙

  7. No reasons to hang our heads on this one despite the good yr from MPJ if OG is healthy hes not going off like that i said what i said see you in the finals

  8. Lets not get caught up in the seeding so much understand home court but if u would have said we would have as many injuries as we had for the last 2 months u would think we be out of playoffs and its over but nope this team held on for as long as they did and still 1/2 game from 4th and 3 games out of 2nd seed come guys thats a great team then missing 3 big players lets give them credit most ppl were saying 2-2 on the rd trip we went 3-1 ill take keep the faith my fellow Knick fan we going to get healthy at right time OG and mitch coming back and we can hope Randle too come on boys lets shock the world

  9. I agree. The knicks need to see how well this team gels with Mitch and OG together before trade talks happen. In theory the knicks lineup looks balanced with og mitch randel Brunson and Donte. Then in bench it would be Hart and hartenstein either bog or mcbride.

  10. A majority of the fanbase are failing to realize that we will be even better next year. This is far from being the final product.

  11. Its looking more and more like Bojan going to be the odd man out in playoffs if we healthy have to play Hart precious Mitch and Deuce from the bench… lets stop with the trades thats offseason we 13 games away from playoffs lets see what we look like and then go from there AFTER the playoffs.. and as far as Randle when he comes back bully ball or not hes going to be better then Bojan and Burks and teams still have to guard him

  12. Not acquiring a legit secondary ball handler remains a crucial oversight. I would experiment with Shake in the next 4 bum nites. Just food for thought . Shake, Duece, Hart, Bogey, (Any C)

  13. Hey look on the bright side…. i think you been wrong about all your knicks predictions lol every time they have a few game stretch, i feel like you say they r going to go below 500 and more times then not they have a winning record … 3-1 on the west coast trip ill take it.. hartenstein is really the only one that showed up for the nuggets game but oh well

  14. Knicks played pretty darn well so I can't blame them…. we will see them again in the finals with all our boys

  15. We’re not better without Randle in no shape and form. He can stretch the floor if nothing else. It’s no situation where Randle wouldn’t help this team. Right Alex! Exactly

  16. Even the Nuggets broadcasters were praising the Knicks. They were saying they wish the Champs could rebound like The Knicks, just high praise all around. Teams are on notice.

  17. All the slander that Mitch gets is disrespectful. I really like I-Hart, but Mitch is the OG you fake ass Knicks fans.

  18. iHart > Mitch. Facts over feelings.

    Have you noticed the increased activity with Hartenstein scoring as a roller the last two games?

    It's a great sign because that means Jalen Brunson is listening.

    I literally commented on the roommates podcast IG page well before the warriors game.

    Stating that Brunson uses the most pick n rolls in the NBA and the fact Hartenstein is only top 50 as a roller is not doing the team justice.

    Feeding him more is key…

    And I also let Brunson know Julius not even being in the top 100 as a roller with all the doubles he gets.. Also has to change.

    So hopefully we see Julius being used more as a roller so he can still attack and take higher % shots & still protect that shoulder

  19. If he wants the money from the Knicks? He has to play. Lin tried that "85 percent" stuff and the knicks didn't pay him. They let him walk. OG will play. I have no doubt.

  20. Hold on now. I'm not the biggest Burks fan but we gotta keep it a buck….that playoff win Burks helped us get in his "one good season" was the first playoff win since 2012-2013. Give that man his kudos for helping that Knicks team do SOMETHING. He helped them get to the playoffs that year. What has Bojan done as a Knick? There's nothing to hang his hat on to be giving him a nickname. Lets be real here.

  21. I'm tryin to understand Alex's thinking. If OG was trying to avoid further injury, why would he come back and try to play during the regular season? Isn't that what he tried to do? After he had his last bad game he said he planned on playing the next game. It was the Knicks medical staff that stopped him. You think he'd go from that to sayin he's not going to play because he could possibly get injured again? I don't see it.

  22. Why everyone talking about trading Mitch?? How about when Mitch get back we are going to be more dominant. Save that talk for the off season

  23. Forget bland Jocic ISO Melo wants a statue of likeness placed in the entrance of Nuggets Ball Arena😂
