They are playing us and our offense is awful. We are missing half of our players including Burks who was scoring 20ppg.
i didn't realize the knicks rebranded!
Oh damn you're right. And the east runs through Cleveland!

Awesome!!!In one of my lives I'm a professional sports photographer; at this point local NBA is all I'm shooting. Here's a link to an article with my photos from the Celtics/Jazz game last Tuesday:
Jazz top Celtics for 16th win in 17 games
EditorsNote: Adds "and" in 2nd graf, tweaked 6th graf
The Jazz are allowing a limited number of fans to attend games, but with a few exceptions, media is limited to the top of the lower bowl, so that's where all but the NBA photographers have to work from. It makes for an interesting perspective, certainly very different from sitting on the floor behind the baseline!
Definitely a fun time to be following the Jazz!
Mitchell seems like a big baby. Granted, that is based on a very limited sample size of watching him get himself tossed in OT against the Sixers, but still, that's a bush league move. And Gobert had the whole covid-denial touching the microphones thing, which again., just dumb.
Mitchell also had the whole "I should win ROY...not because I'm having the better season, but bc Simmons is not a rookie...."
If you watch the NBA, then you know that just about everybody in the NBA is a big baby now. Everyone complains about the refs. Look at Bron any time he gets "fouled". And players are "selling contact" worse than ever. Embiid looked like he got hit by a sniper when Gobert barely touched him with the elbow in the back. I'm constantly amazed at how a guy who weighs 280lbs gets pushed around so easily when it's convenient (Jojo is hardly the only big guy to do this so I'm not just picking on him). I understand that for big guys, they don't get foul calls sometimes when there is contact but its so frustrating to watch as a fan of the game when players just exaggerate so much to get a foul called. You start to get players who play just to hunt for fouls. It's why I dislike watching Harden and Trae too.
Totally agree with you about Embiid, he gets tons of calls (and gets away with traveling a lot). And yes, there are lots of big babies. My point about Mitchell is that you already got T'ed up once in OT, now shut up and play, your team needs you on the court in a close game. I don't know exactly what he said to get tossed, and maybe he didn't deserve it., but it must have been pretty bad to get a second T. What is the ref supposed to do, nothing? Maybe the rules should be different for arguing as opposed to fighting. Like if you argue, it's still a T, the other team gets a FT and it counts as a personal like in college, but you don't get tossed for 2 of those (unless it's your sixth personal).
