So we have to try and beat an experienced team who sent the number one seed home with a young and inexperienced team and our top two players hurt.
Not feeling good about this one. But if we are to avoid a sweep, this might be the game to win.
Win or lose, this is important experience for said yoots. These guys are our team for the next few years, so I am mainly looking to see them compete...as in full balling out, no holds barred, end to end effort. Like JB said: "No discouragement!"
The knicks can do it; Barrett bully ball; expect some EF, deuce and lots of toppin and Hart

No idea who is or isn’t playing but I’d be interested in seeing us forced to play with all the youngsters.
Would be interesting to see if a style of play change (more uptempo and ball/player movement) and more minutes for defenders Grimes/Deuce would allow us to steal a game.
This is why I said we need to be setting moving screens. Refs will not call them. We play at a disadvantage when we don't flop and don't use illegal screens.

When Brunson was I thought we played some of our best ball with IQ/Grimes/Hart. That's a bigtime defensive unit.
Everyone really likes RJ as the small ball 4 and that's fine but I would also like to see McBride/IQ/Grimes/Hart with Mitch (who's also banged up) and IHart.
I dont know what the status of our players are, but we have 3 days off after tonight (play Sat). Hate to be down 0-2 but if we could get healthy its our best shot
would love to see with Brunson/Randle out IQ go for 50 and the WIN

Unfortunately guys like Mitch and Randle and Obi are just not savvy enough, they will get fouls called on them.
just win
no randle just win
no brunson just win
We have more than enough to win the game 1 at a time

WOW - did not notice all those real time.
Hurts more that Mitch doesn’t touch anyone on 1/2 his screens.
I hope Brunson and Randle sit. Our best bet IMO is for our bench to get the minutes while they get a few more days of rest. Especially if Butler sits. We need more production from the subs, and this will give them the minutes to get their game going.
One or both of them come back too soon, they will be even less help going forward.

If we lose this game we are done.
Todd, I too prefer the brunette.
