some guys don't know how to fall. I think OG does a pretty good job usually - we just needed to knock Wagner out of the game and we can make a run!

My boy Mitch is the only center that can block three point shots consistently

Jordan Clarkson has too many mistakes to call himself a veteran.

He is not part of a championship bench support.

I'ved stated this in Nov 2025, for the record.

Brunson was awesome today. Great game and controlled the tone and had 9 assists. Great performance from him.

The defense today was much improved.
OG, Mitch, Mikal and Hukporti shined on defense. OG looked great on offense. Attacking and the corner threes. Kept his minutes down too.

Hukporti was very impressive out there today. Lots of activity and played much better defense without fouling.

Hart was very good on both sides of the ball. 15 and 10 or something but made great plays on both sides of the ball.

Injuries: I hope Deuce is ok. It looked like a sprained knee for him. He landed on the knee and it didn't look that great but he stayed in to shoot the free throws so I hope it was more cautious than anything.

The Wagner injury looked very bad. Looked like he dislocated his knee. It looked out of the socket. He couldn't walk on it. Looked very serious. Suggs injury didn't look as bad but he might miss some time.

Very physical game. That's what Orlando wants to do. Our guys answered the challenge today. We knew they would play physical and answered the call. Orlando plays so fast that they are prone to turnovers. Don't foul them and let them shoot there's because they are a poor shooting team.

Clarkson had a very bad game. Lots of bad decisions and missing some wife open shots. We're going to need him to get doing if Deuce misses any time. I believe in him and Kolek. Kolek has been getting better. It's a long season but I like the way coach Brown is keeping guys ready and expanding the rotation. Even Yabusele seems to be rounding into form.

Tuesday will be fun! Go Knicks!
No longer sick and tired that Kurt wasn't hired.
