Lowry is off today. Overall, a good game but the offense late in the third got stagnate and the Knicks opened this game up.

I thought we had a chance when we brought it to within 7 late in the 4th but yeah, this Knicks team is playing with a lot of confidence. I’m loving their ball movementQuote:

Its good to see Siakam knock down some outside shots the last 3 consecutive games. He has struggled after covid stringing together any kind of good shooting streak from behind the arc. When he is knocking down outside shots this team is really hard to stop.
On a different note...the Raps couldn't have much better luck. They got to play Cleveland without Sexton. Tonight they get Brooklyn without Harden. They will get Denver without Murray , Utah without Donovan Mitchell and the Lakers without Lebron. Not to mention they have a game left against the Bulls and the Wizards...and if they go on any kind of run may even be able to catch Indiana....who keeps losing players and they finish the season. against.
This is the worst case scenario.Quote:

Their schedule is not bad though. The Raptors have it tough.

I really like him. I think with the opportunity he will turn out to be a good solid vet on this team.Quote:

We have strong scouting.Quote:

That's my general temperament. I still hope for losses because I covet a Top4 selection in the draft and the gain is much bigger long term than making the play in. The difference between 9 and 15 picks doesn't really move any needle long term. Increasing chances of luck has meaning for me. Player development does too. It will be what it will be.Quote:

I would have liked that as well bro, but we were never gonna catch the Cavs, Magic, Pistons, Rockets even if we tried. Dammed if we do dammed if we don’tQuote:

Lottery ball luck can shift in the 7-12 range, but it is hard to quantify the value of that variable luck.Quote:
