100 percent they aren’t even close with OG in the game.

But, I think we all like our chances here and Boston will be a battle. You need your guys fresh. Almost looks like Thibs finds it amusing play Hart all this minutes. Like a badge of honor. I know we are short, major injuries. He did it in 15 point wins during the season.

We saw it when Deuce wasn’t in the rotation then suddenly played the whole game in the regular season. The man has coached has ass off and knows more basketball then everyone here put together. Just need to understand you can get guys minutes at the end of quarters. Absolutely no reason when you had precious and Burks on the bench you can’t spell 8 minutes for hart, especially before OG went down.

I feel like it’s easy to say this but in the heat of the games harder to justify it. Knicks have been in absolute battles in every game, all coming down to the wire pretty much. Had double digit deficits in most which could have gotten out of hand quickly without every inch required to keep them close.

More Precious and Burks minutes and we might not be in the second round tbh. Burks has had stretches of abysmal basketball and Precious at the 4 has also led to some horrid stretches.

Burks came through when his number was called yesterday for first time pretty much all year so let’s hope it continues but we haven’t had the luxury of experimenting in any game yet this playoff run.

hey nycer, I thought the same thing, my concern is needing Jalen heeled more, not sure DD can continue that kind of display, he was great. With OG out game 4 at min, someone has to step up. I have to say this team with all the injuries just won't stop battling. They are so damn exciting to watch.

hey OG!

you know i've doubted DDV as a starter along the way and he keeps stepping up so kudos.

There will be a different hero next game, but I think we win 2 of the next 3 and close this out in 6.
