Porzingis has missed 7 of his last 8 games and will now miss 2+ more weeks. It sounds like that illness is back (POTS)

I feel bad for KP. Is it perhaps time to hang it up?

No.  He is only 30.  POTS is no fun, but it often gets better over time, and he has been dealing with it for less than a year.  It will be something that always needs management, but I would bet next season his flare-ups are fewer and farther between.  That said, I would not give him more than the MLE when he reaches free agency this summer.

Why would he hang it up over an illness?

Why would he hang it up over an illness?

Yeah, that would be crazy.

His illness would be extremely frustrating, but I believe it is eventually manageable. Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) needs a resting schedule.

The issue for Porzingis & his team going forward is not being able to rely on him as a starting centre. Because of this, his illness is going to cost Porzingis a considerable amount of money on his next contract.

Dan Weiss: Victor Wembanyama posted an incredible individual net rating difference of +74.9 Saturday . The Spurs had a net rating of +43.8 when Victor was on the court and -31.1 when he was off in his 21 minutes. #danalytics

NBA Cup Final is on tonight. Knicks vs Spurs at 8:30pm ET. Should be a good one..

[jpotter33]

Knicks fans are going to be even more insufferable after this NBA Cup win. Better hang that cup banner since they can?t get the real thing!

LOL. I?m actually glad the Knicks won this meaningless tournament. Hope the loss keeps the Spurs hungry so they can give OKC a run for their money out West.

Kevin O'Connor said the Knicks are clearly the best team in the East.

Agree or disagree?

Agree or disagree?

Disagree. They very well might be the best, but "clearly" is just not the case with how Detroit has played this season.

NYK: 2nd Offense, 12th Defense, 3rd Net
DET: 8th offense, 2nd Defense, 5th Net

Like, its definitely close. Although certainly the Knicks guys have a long track record than their Detroit counterparts. I'd probably lean NYK in a playoff series right now just because they have a higher offensive upside and in today's game I think that wins out.

Ticker tape parade perhaps?

I?ll say this.  Both teams were playing like they wanted to win the thing and the Knicks weren?t letting a loss happen.

The Adam Sulver jock strap polishing was a bit much by the announcing team. 

Prime?s broadcast in general is going to take some adjusting.  I don?t like not being able to record it.  I?ve gotten used to watching games that way, but there?s no way in hell Amazon is going to let you skip those commercials.  Especially the ones where you can buy the product directly from Amazon on screen (can you imagine a 50?s ad exec trying to wrap his head around having a direct sales connection to an ad that?s so direct).

agree with this assessment.

Knicks are right there with Detroit.  there's no clear better team.  If Cleveland had it's act together this season, they'd be right there with them.

The East doesn't have any dominant teams this season.  it's a situation where if Tatum returned and was close to his former self by the playoffs, I wouldn't be surprised to see them make the finals.  If Brad can bring in a serviceable center to back up Q and keep Joe from having to resort to Minott as the backup 5 then I think the C's could beat any of those teams based on how they've surpassed expectations this year

Agree.  East is definitely there for the taking if Tatum comes back and is near his prior form.

Also, I'd be nervous as heck if I was a Cavs fan right now.

Kevin O'Connor hasn't said many correct things over the last few years lol. And that includes outside of basketball (like saying Maye wasn't the guy earlier in the year)

If the Knicks are seen as that though, then if Tatum comes back I think we have a real shot in the conference.
