KAT has turned into a monster since joining the Knicks. Almost like the trade unleashed him.

He's also practically a walking 25/15+ now

Pacers have waived CelticsStrong fan fave Moses Brown, who once scored 21 points and pulled down 23 rebounds against the Celtics when a player for the Thunder back in 2021, thereby immortalizing himself in the eyes of Celtics fans who had been craving a performance of this nature by a big. We were distraught when the Celtics traded him to the Mavs for J-Rich in June 2021. But now apparently Indiana have waived him. Are we interested?

Knicks use a lot of two PG small backcourts with Brunson, McBride and Cam Payne.

I don't understand the Knicks defense on Atlanta. Atlanta have no shooting in their starting lineup. Jalen Johnson is a poor shooter. Dyson Daniels is a poor shooter. Clint Capela is a non-shooter. Risacher is a streaky shooter still getting acclimated to the league.

Why are they not playing off these guys and squeezing the floor to limit Trae Young?

I like this no PG 2nd unit for Atlanta.

G: Dyson Daniels
G: Bogdanovic
F: Risacher
F: Jalen Johnson
C: Okongwu

Jalen Johnson is the one initiating the offense. Three wings off one. One big in Okongwu who has added a three pointer to his offense so they can play 5 out. Dynamic lineup. Versatile defensively.

Jalen Johnson now has 18pts 12reb 6ast 2stl 2blk. He is only 7-19 FGA 1-5 3PTA 4-6 FTA but he has been all over the floor otherwise.

Dyson Daniels has played excellent defense on Jalen Brunson. Risacher and Jalen Johnson have done well on switches as well. You can tell how much Atlanta's length is bothering Brunson. He is only 3-12 FGA for 8pts 5ast.

Similar to last season in the playoffs when teams made him struggle efficiency wise with his shooting by sticking big wings on him. Brunson lacks that elite quickness to blow by them. And he can't bully them with his muscle like he can small guards. Tough for him to shoot over the top of those bigger wings.

Bogdan Bogdanovic frustrates the hell out of me.  I see some of the plays he makes and wonder why he doesn't do it all the time.  He should be a poor man's Gordon Hayward.

DeAndre Hunter and Bogdanovic both look much better this season. Hunter's offense has been incredible. Bogdanovic looks slimmer and quicker defensively.

They are giving Atlanta a huge lift off the bench.

Maybe the Lakers need to face OKC in Round 1 and drag that series to 7 games. AD will abuse Chet Holgren. Let's see what old man LeBron, Reaves, and Knecht can do to the rest of OKC squad.

Are you serious when you post this stuff? Honestly asking. The lakers have a -3.7 rating for the season. The Thunder have are +12. The thunder also have Hartenstein in addition to Holmgran. What in the world are you watching that makes you think the Lakers will even make the playin?

Hawks have a lot of talent and outside of Trae and Bogdo they can all defend.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He was an all star just last season and 4 times total and has averaged 26/11 before and 20+/8+ his entire career hes always been this good but just got the blame for any of Minnesotas failings that will fall on *the next MJ* now

Not sure why the Warriors think starting Draymond at center is a good idea. Warriors don?t have a 5 on their roster. That?s nuts.

Sengun reminds me of Pau Gasol.

That guy Lindy Waters has been a nice pickup for GSW. Impressive two way role player.

This Rockets team is fun. Definitely has that Ime grit style to them.
