I'm dropping off some bennies and roofies nearby but I'll be driving a Mini-Cooper so probably not what you're looking for

Kolek for the lead!

Fk yeah

Philc1 @ 2/1/2026 8:01 PM
Nice jobs by Shamet and Tyler

Def not Clarkson.

I don't know that Deuce and Kolek are necessarily in competition for minutes if both are healthy though.

Shamet took Jordan's cookies, but Kolek and Deuce will be a good backcourt off the bench for us.

Refs calling us for the lightest bump under their rim, but ignoring it under our basket

Through first half:
Bridges 2 pts on 1-6
Shamet 9 pts on 3-4

they arent in comp but Kolek is showing he's fit for that 3rd guard role. and Shamet as well.

Love Deuce, just saying, it makes you wonder if there's a deal available if we'd include him for an upgrade somewhere given that he only has 1 year left after this and might be one of our biggest trade assets.

BS calls, missed putbacks, and some players not looking at the basket when driving, then forcing passes for late second shots or violations. We have given away 6 to 8 pts, plus not getting back on defense. We should be up, but this is what I expected. IMO KAT doesn't fit this team on either end and will never get the calls, plus his stupid, lazy, and confused defense annoys me. He often just lost out there, and everyone has to cover for him, which leads to dunks, layups, and open 3s. He needs to go.

Agreed

Yes, cap management requires a decision to pay Deuce or lose him. They may trade him which is something this FO has done before

The game is tied, but listening to the announcers you'd think we're getting blown out

Assigning Reggie to games at MSG is the worst kind of cruelty

Philc1 @ 2/1/2026 8:42 PM
Refs unbelievable tonight

A reboot of the movie The Burbs. Literally no one asked for this.

So that's, what, six team fouls in this quarter on the Knicks to one for the Lakers? I'm betting this challenge goes LA's way. EDIT: color me shocked.
