Wonder how many times that happens anymore —- 32 with zero 3’s.

Bub Carrington. Precious kneed him in the head intentionally and then he smacked his head on the court.
Whoa I didn’t see the Precious part. Was it on replay? I missed
I thought OG bumped him into Valanciunas and he fell backwards on his head.
That’s what I thought too

Future looks good.
8 straight wins and 3-0 on this trip! 2024 was one of the best seasons we've had here in a looong time! 4th best record in the entire league, got to the semi round and would have easily gotten to the ECF if it weren't for the injuries. Fingers crossed it's different this upcoming year with the injuries cause I truly believe we can shock the world!
How great is Josh Hart? Another steal trade by Leon Rose! How can you not be a fan of his game? There aren't many like him anymore in today's NBA. Hart could have played on those 70s and 90 teams easily! He does whatever the team needs! His motor is second to none! Another triple double with 23/15/10. He was all over the place and his 3 straight threes changed the game. He's unbelievable! Quickly has become one of my all time favs. Such a funny guy too and you can tell his teammates love and respect him.
KAT with another monster game 32 and 13 and crazy how he's overlooked for the second straight game cause a teammate had a bigger game. We have such a great team! Loved how KAT took it to the hole and ran the floor. Those dunks were vicious!
Only complaint was the lack of production from the bench. Deuce is in a little slump but I'm sure he'll snap out of it. We need his shooting and scoring off the bench.
I like Sarr. Talented player with skills tailor made for today's NBA. Wonder what the Wiz would like for Jalanciunas? He'd be so good here off the bench! I like his old school game. Hope Carrington is okay. Rare to see a player leave the game in a wheel chair.
Wishing all of you guys here a Happy New Year and the very best to you and your loved ones! Please be careful tonight and do not drink and drive!

Precious had no role. Some version of a bad joke
Og bumped into Jonas and hyperextended Jonas elbow a little. That’s why he was holding it. But seemed to trip backwards over someone’s feet and his head hit floor pretty hard. He seems like a tough kid so the fact he was down suggests to me maybe a concussion

It’s fun to watch. Guys truly seem to be playing for each other and have more joy in their teammates success than their own. They all want to win above everything else
I believe it was me after the 1 point CHA win where panic was at an all time high, that said just wait until December and we will pad the roster and eventually go on an 8 game winning streak like we have multiple times every year. You're welcome.

I don’t have better video. Saw a couple posts that it was Precious not Valuncius. Could be just repeating written error.
So Cam Payne had 19 pts in Toronto and now has not played in the 2nd half of games for about 4 games. Deuce has done a few minutes at the PG in the 4th Q of games and Shamet has been out there for some 2nd half minutes.
Not sure what the deal is, Payne had played really well.

Couldnt be the minutes..
In Thibs defense, historically, OG would have been hurt and missing games by now. I doubt he has played this many minutes over this short stretch in his career.
Thats true. OG has held up. I remember when OG was traded, and Thibs was asked about PT and injuries. And he referenced OG's league leading minutes for Nick Nurse.
I dont see anything short of a 6th man of the year caliber player eating into the starter's minutes. Mitch?
Cant remember a championship squad that didnt have a deep bench, and made use of it. Maybe Shamet will get more minutes. Not sure of the deal with Thibs and Cam is. Looks like Thibs might give Kolek some PT.
Denver, Milw and GS all won titles in last few years without great benches. Boston's was very good last year
Josh did work on his shot over the summer as he said he would.
I guess it happpens even if there are no videos of it!
bottom line is SG's are suppose to hit those shots. Kudos to him lifting his game.
Truly valuable player on all sides of the ball!
He still leaves his feet sometimes when he passes, but he is making great plays more so than in the past.
This team is fun to watch!!!
Knicks love Jonas, wild to see this.
I mean mad respect for Jonas. How many players in the league are gonna get you 12 pts / 8 boards in only 20 minutes per game? The guy came in both games and was a total load for the Knicks to handle. I honestly think if he played more in the first game we might have lost, because we didn't really have answers for him and probably would have fouled out KAT. He is an old school player, but he does what he does as well as anyone. This is why when there was a lot of debate about Zach Edey, it was confusing, because you know a player like that is productive, but its just not the style you see anymore.
Anyway, there's maybe a world where having Jonas to spell KAT gives us the ability to keep a scoring 5 out there when KAT is in foul trouble, and still win the boards. But its bad spacing and even less range on D. He did stick 2 3's against us yesterday, but I don't think he really stretches the floor the same way.
But I think the Knicks are just showing some respect as he's been in the league a long time and is a real gamer.
