    I wonder if Melo will get booed? I’m leaning towards no. Maybe a handful will boo him, but I don’t think he left the organization on a bad note like Paul George did. I think most Knicks fans wanted him gone so that they could move on anyways.

    I hope Porzingis is able to play. If he can’t, then OKC will catch a huge break. OKC keeps squeaking by and is now .500 and only 2.5 games back from the 4th seed. They have quietly won 6 of their past 8 games, but they haven’t looked impressive at all. They just manage to get by due to their defense being able to overcome their Big 3’s HORRIBLE efficiency.

    Wolves are going to dress up like tennis balls for the first time tonight. I will be interested to see how they look for the lolz.

    I feel bad for Gobert. Was thinking about going to the game Monday against the Jazz but I'm leaning against it now. Jazz are so hard hard to watch.

    Donovan Mitchell is fun but is there a more boring team in the NBA?

    I'm watching this Charlotte/Portland game. Two teams we beat recently. We crushed the Hornets, but the Blazers gave us a game. These guys must have given us their best efforts because they both look extremely pedestrian right now.

    OKC is so lucky they play great defense because their offense is hopeless...it’s just ugly

    Those Wolves jerseys are truly godawful! Coupled with the lime shocks even worse

    OKC getting exposed by Knicks without Porzingis is such a joy to watch.

    Blazers/Hornets last couple of possessions was a comedy.
