Yes it does lol

A couple of breakdowns on defense.
GustavBahler @ 2/15/2023 8:21 PM
I like that Obi is near the top of the key.
HofstraBBall @ 2/15/2023 8:22 PM
A few quick forced shots without ball movement.
That's the way you let teams back in.
HofstraBBall @ 2/15/2023 8:24 PM
Obi is shooting well and has had good overall effort on defense.
But Hunter took him to the basket and made him look like he was half his weight.

Obi says "you rang"

GustavBahler @ 2/15/2023 8:27 PM
Randle might need a breather, no legs on last shot.
HofstraBBall @ 2/15/2023 8:28 PM
Randle having pad stat syndrome ATM.
GustavBahler @ 2/15/2023 8:29 PM
Thank you Leon for signing Brunson
HofstraBBall @ 2/15/2023 8:30 PM
RJ, please swing the ball if you are not making threes.
WP76 @ 2/15/2023 8:30 PM
RJ working on an obscure team record for most badly missed, uncontested threes in a half.

At least he moved in for a 2.

Grimes needs a floater
MaTT4281 @ 2/15/2023 8:33 PM
If you want RJ to rebuild his confidence, going 1 on 1 vs. Trae Young is the way to do it!
HofstraBBall @ 2/15/2023 8:36 PM
Good first half. Let's give that Hawks defense 140 plus two games in a row!

His drive game has been solid.
Three point shot, not so much.

Agree.
Like how quickly he gets his shot off but sometimes wonder why his mechanics are so fast when he is wide open.

Rookie @ 2/15/2023 8:39 PM
I didn’t know RJ has a turnaround midrange. I’d love to see him shoot more from the midrange. I’m sure I’ve said this before.

Who was I kidding?

Who was I trying to fool?

Usually I come into games wanting to see a blowout by 20+ points.

But not tonight. Ever since 2020-2021 beat down these ATL Hawks have always scared me;

I'll be thrilled with just a 1 point win.

I lied.

I wanna beat these MFKRS by 45-50 Points and watch us do to them in the 2nd half (what we just did to them in the 1st half).

Knicks: 66.
A-T-L: 44.

+22.

And I wanna see Obi Toppin play the entire 4th Q as long as we outscore ATL here in the 3rd Q.

Let's all try our best to enjoy these final 24 minutes as Knicks fans because this will be our last Knicks game until the 24th (9 days away)

What a 1st half!!!
