    Too many forced shots for my liking, but still a big win

    Porzingas balled out last nite. He is the next Kevin love averaging 25-12 on a horrible team

    Bron to the Lakers is one of the dumbest rumors I've heard. Why would he want to go to a shitty team in the same division as GSW? Plus Lavar Ball. It's nonsensical.

    LeBron has been avoiding the West his entire career for a reason.

    I agree he is very unlikely to go to the Lakers.

    What'd he have 4/9/3 or something like that in his debut? They made Harden into a Steve Nash-like point guard into that system and tried to double-down with two of the same player.

    The move made no sense. But I guess you add two superstars anyway you can. They really needed a Paul George type of wing player for it to work because he plays on both ends.

    Easily. Why would he want to go out West when he can walk to the Finals every year in the East? He's the most legacy-conscious athlete there's ever been in professional sports. No way he'd want to take a harder road to the Finals every year.

    SMH at #1 pick Markelle Fultz ... wtf happen to this guy?

    Ben Simmons is going to be a star in this league that's for sure. Dropped his first career triple double.

    Knicks are a lot of fun so far. First time I can say that in long while. What a breath of fresh air now. Glad Hornacek isn't weighed down by that douchebag Jackson anymore too.

    Porzingas put on a show tonight. At first I wanted him to be a classic low post big man, and didn't like what was going on with him. But it's looking like he's kind of like a Nowitzki style player and that's a good thing. He had 37 tonite, I think, and that may have put him over 30 a game so far this season.

    Now they ease Ntilikina along slowly and keep their fingers crossed.

    Porzingis dropped 40 on Indiana tonite and blocked 6 while he was at it. They came back from 19 down in the second half. It was looking like a loss in the first half too. Ntilikina had 10 pts. with 7 assist 2 rebounds and 3 steals of the bench...very nice.

    It's amazing what you can do when you drop a thousand tons of dead weight in Melo and Phil. Look how Melo is screwing up the Thunder right now with his no defense iso ball

    Unfortunately we still have 1 of 3 dead weights on the team, Joakim is coming back soon...

    No D iso ball...lmao. Good riddance

    It's a blessing to have them gone and away from Ntilikina and KP. So happy to see them in Hornaceks hands now.

    Hornacek rolled with Ntilikina the whole 4th quarter as the energy seemed to change in the game. He looked really good too, and hit the game changer 3 towards the end of the game.
    Very excited for this kid now and becoming a big fan just from the little I've seen. It's easy to root for this kid.

    Eric Bledsoe traded to Milwaukee for Greg Monroe and a first rounder.

    where is lebron playing next year, wonder if he would ever consider the Knicks. He would make Dolan his personal slave which is a nice bonus

    Pretty excited. Fantasy wise sucks for me having Brogdon, but it's a rare time in Wisconsin to be happy to be a basketball fan.

    Another nice win @MSG.

    Hornacek brings some to class to this team...finally. He can coach.

    Howard was mugging and roughing up KP and KP kept his poise and scored some critical points to close it out.

    KP is a monster.

    Hornacek rolling with Ntilikina down the stretch again and Nt getting some valuable experience to go with the 8 asts and 3 rebs
