Canadian Dick came up too short.
I said with room to breathe, that was too close.

I thought Prescious was huge for us- but I looked at his plus/minus and it was bad, like how?

I thought he had an awful game on defense and spacing was an issue. He did have a stretch where he made nice put backs.

Got robbed by the crooked refs on that clutch long 2 he made

Precious and Hukporti are nice bench players but that’s it. Mitch is the defensive beast this generation Marcus Camby that’s why the lakers want to steal him

They’re role players. Precious is good enough to fill in for OG. And Huk looks like he will be able to fill in for Towns some time next season. Good news. Looks like the FO wants to move on from Mitch. Believe we get more value from staying put, but Mitch’s lack of availability might seal it.

Replay showed he did not get the shot off in time. Not crooked.

Huk looks like the real deal to me. Not better than Mitch on D (and not as versatile) but good enough in the traditional sense of how a big man plays D and a MUCH better grasp on offense some of his passing is really really good for a big man (that quick pass in close to Bridges I think was pretty sweet). He may be my new favorite project. I think he is already well ahead of Sims development wise.

So what your saying is Huk is a future second round steal like the center from Denver, ???? Lol
Just noticed Knicks play Cavs 3 more times this year and all 3 are the 2nd game of a back to back.
Think we have 7 damn back to backs down the stretch which seems awfully high in this day and age.
Is this due to the circus or some unusual event at the garden or just normal schedule?
What is impressive about Huk is he played well at the top of the key setting picks and making passes like Hartenstein. Wasnt just defense and reboundimg.
Huk playing a few mins with KAT is a small proof of concept of whether Mitch and KAT can play handful of minutes together against the right team. Huk as I mentioned above offers more offensive versatility, in that it seems he can make passes from high. That said we dominated last night on the boards and got 2nd chance points. More like years past vs. this year's spacing Knicks.
HuK is being Thibinized. Start with Defense. Then you can touch the ball but then and only then to keep it moving unless your on the end of a PNR. But........Its very encouraging. He is still young and yet to fill out. If there is a plan, maybe it to supplant Mitch when his contract runs out. Let mitch walk with not compensation? Depends on his value this summer. If its low, then gamble on getting in return one good season. A contract year. Might be peak Mitch for a the real window of contending? Thats not nothing. We got a year high end service. After that we might be able to afford him but we might be saying good bye after showering him with confetti in the canyon of heroes.
Then HuK can step in as back up year three. We do an extension for him like we did for Deuce.
Good win last night. Nobody likes to see a lead dissipate but we built it. Toronto came out tough then faded. Knicks got tired down the stretch but Brunson, a top 5 MVP and a hell of a closer did his thing. KAT knocked Poetl out of the game then handled the swarm of smaller but very athletic dudes they thru at him better then the night before. Knicks did not "Blow the lead" as much as Toronto clawed its way back. They are much improved and their 8-2 record coming into the game was something of a concern. That we did well on the end of a back to back was impressive.
Brunson pretty much summed it up in hie interview they were happy to walk away with the win!
The replay of RJ hitting the floor and the accompanied audio from it was awful. Glad he is going to be ok.
