*checks standings* Jesus Christ the East fucking sucks
Mathurin 50 piece let’s goooooooo
Apparently the Knicks are only 3 point favorites this game. Apparently the odds makers thing that Hali is supposed to show up tonight.
Pretty cool both the colts and pacers play New York teams in Indianapolis. Have a great time to those who double dip in attendance today!
Better come out strong and make up for the earlier game in the season
Benn please cook
Dear God. Please do not let us have 2 double losses with the Pacers and Colts two Sunday in a row. Thank you 🙏
Honestly I just don’t want another game like last game. Win or lose, let’s be competitive.
In the past I have heard Carlisle scoff at the idea of unconditional minutes, when discussing Mathurin. It seems crazy, but with how Ty is playing, it seems like that would have to enter the discussion sooner or later.
He isn’t in a slump, in the sense that he is missing shots, low assist numbers, etc. That is understandable, as long as he was more or less playing the style of basketball that got him a max contract. This isn’t a slump in my mind. He is fundamentally a different/worse player. There is no way Carlisle is telling him to go out there and do acrobatics to kick it out to the perimeter on every drive. I am not trying to be an asshole when I say this, but I genuinely feel like if Ty were going to the hoop, and only Bronny fucking James stood in his way, he would look for the kick out. If he can’t start being more aggressive going to the basket, it’s time to scale his minutes back until he figures it out.
