Sounds like someone was pointing these things out last night. I just can't figure who. Now just give more of Sims minutes to Obi.

We aren’t permanently benching RJ or salary dumping him like some are suggesting. He got a day off to reset and relax similar to baseball players in a hitting slump. He’ll be back.

Knicks beat Embiib with 2 second round backup centers LOL

Actually, if you read their post, they said loss, not Knicks loss. So, technically, the Knicks didn't keep the loss within single digits, just happened to be Philly's loss, haha.

Vs.
Philadelphia 76ers: 97 = Loss.

Our NY Knicks didn't lose by double digits but Philadelphia, did.

2 25th selected draft picks?

He manned up after me constantly calling him McBrick. Congrats to McBride.

Man I hope so. He looks silky smooth the last few games. I thought every 3 was going in. I think he felt the same and that’s progress

What a great win. Happy Fournier was able to step up. It’s not like Brunson and Randle were world-beaters tonight. It was just a great team win.
NYStateOfMind @ 2/5/2023 10:02 PM
Agreed, if you won't give more of Sims minutes to Obi, then give them to iHart.

The dynamic talent the Knicks have on the roster this season is crazy when the Knicks head coach refuse to take advantage of all the depth talent he has on the roster for the 2nd season in a row.
The trio of Hartenstein & Fournier & McBride first half & 2nd half performance outscoring the 76ers 26-13 in the 4th quarter was a DYNAMIC Knicks WIN !!!

Tobias Harris makes $37.5M and then $39M next year, more this year than Randle, Brunson, Embiib and Harden LOL

Good call. I noticed it too.

76ers bench = 16 Points (Maxey accounted for 12 of their 16 bench points).

Vs.

Knicks bench = 37 Points.

Keep in mind, those 37 points didn't include IQ's 5 points or Sims 8 points (because those are two of our backups who had to start tonight) or else it would've been 50 (2nd unit) points.

You're right. Their bench looks atrocious.

Yeah...Classic deception. Hart has been looking for help from the Art of War.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

― Sun tzu, The Art of War
