Knicks · Game Thread: Knicks vs Hornets and the first “Shoulderless” game…. (page 1)

Nalod @ 1/29/2024 9:02 AM
Nalod feels for Jules having two shoulder operations in the last 3.5 years.
I either go to game live or miss it due to black out rules with league pass and Hornets cable is not on youtube TV.
Nalod does not go to many games but usually catch knicks in town. Im on the fence as I have to fly out in the morning for a quick business trip early. Go solo and snag a cheap but good single ticket, or just go to bed early?

I have no interest in Hornets. I have done season ticket packages before as I am interested in other team but really the vibe at Jordans Arena sucks. Awful owner. Team never paid a tax and has not succeeded in any measurable form.
To support them and knicks over the years would have been too painful.

Todd, do your thing and dress the thread up with the girls!!

I just moved to Raleigh NC from NY a couple years ago. Love it here. But yes, gets tricky trying to watch the Knicks game when they play CHA. One day when my kids aren't tots I will make the trip to CHA and catch the Knicks live down here.

I'm very interested in seeing Brunson - DDV - Hart - OG - iHart starting lineup. Good team to try things out against. I hope we aren't starting Jericho at the 4. Please don't do that to me Thibs.

OG is most likely going to play 40+ mins until we get another body in here.

VDesai @ 1/29/2024 11:24 AM
wonder if Jacob gets a call up tonight.

I wish Sims developed something resembling a jumper in the last 3 years. McBride has become a crazy good 3 point shooter so you never know!

Hart almost certainly is starting with OG at the 4. That's a lineup with 3 guys who love to go for steals/disrupt passing lanes. Lamelo is possibly injured again, so we'll see if we can force a lot of turnovers and build a nice lead early.

PJ Washington randomly went for 43 last game, so he'll probably get 4 this game.

Actually PJ wouldn't be a terrible trade target for the Knicks as a backup 4/5. He can stretch the floor a little and he is a Kentucky man

Personal TRADE reasons?!?

Yup, but I get the Hornets games on cable with the added sports package. I mostly added that for the ACC games but it’s an added bonus. I could never get the Bally app to work. Looks like another year has gone by where I won’t get to Charlotte for a game even though I keep threatening I’m going to get there. It’s still a long ass drive from the coast. NC is as long as NY is tall.

that's the line up. Jericho backing up the 5, Precious backing up the 4. That's a LOT of shots for Grimes and McBride

Fornier to the rescue !!!!!

Knicks host Utah tomorrow night.
Maybe he like "fuck this, why get on the plane and not play....."
Or, he is playing tomorrow night?
Or, he is about to be traded?
Utah got Clarkson and Olynck that are talked about knick potential trade targets.

Maybe I can get a courtside ticket? He won't need it.
DLeethal @ 1/29/2024 1:30 PM
Fournier probably could have gotten some mins tonight. So it's kind of odd he's not traveling tbh.

Odd like it's 8 days before the trade deadline odd?

fishmike @ 1/29/2024 1:38 PM
will be interesting to see how the rotations go. You need to find a way to win without playing OG/Brunson 40 EVERY night, but there will be some nights they NEED to for the win and it matters. We may be close to the 3rd seed but we are also close to the 7th seed and must avoid the play in at all costs.

Get Randle back with a month to go is ideal and see if we can pick up where he left off. Getting Mitch back at some point and bringing him off the bench is also a wildcard. Precious has impressed. Having a ball handler like IHart may be freeing him up to fly around a bit more. Time will tell. We got big injury hits but we are also deep and well coached. I think we impress folks

Scratch Former, Jacob Toppin to the rescue

We need another Kentucky man to fill Randle's shows.

Yea but every time I put my tin foil hat on because a player conspicuously misses a game nothing happens.
