I know the Knicks signed Cam Payne, but this dude Kolek is NICE! If he gets his chance, he could become one of the best back up pgs QUICKLY! Lefty, shifty, unselfish, sees the floor, and TOUGH! He reminds me of another point guard and he happens to be the starter on the Knicks!!!
Ok I’m going to do this and I got two questions for the

1 Why AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR IS HUDDLED UP WITH THE OFFICIALS? He shouldn’t be anywhere near this?
2. The referees DID leave the floor, so they can’t reverse the made shot……

It’s time NJ. For eighteen years, I was privileged enough to coach high school basketball where the game is played as well and as competitive than anywhere else in the country. Best of luck to the coaches, players, and parents for a successful and healthy season...
I was blessed to have these two as players for the last two seasons. Great basketball players with an OUTSTANDING work ethic on and off the court, good people, and most of all role models to my daughters. Best of luck to these two ladies.
I want to personally thank

I’ve been a Knicks fan my WHOLE life. I haven’t heard the garden this loud since the LJ 4-point play in 1999. There is no quit in this team. No superstars: just a bunch of tough dudes that will fight you to the end and show that New York grit. Wow, just wow!

Like I said after their last win, just get the one in front of you and it will take care of itself. If they win Saturday vs Creighton (the rock better be ROCKING/I will be there) becomes their next biggest game of the season. This team has that Jersey toughness and grit that the
Seton Hall has HEEDED the call about the need to improve its predictive metrics. Blowing out an opponent does just that.
Not only is this another win over a likely tourney team, but now the Pirates have put itself in a position to vastly improve its overall seeding.
Not even a debate, it’s clean. The problem is when guards do this people think it’s a travel but when bigs do it as a post move it’s clean. Same footwork, been teaching it for over 20 years!!!

Note to AAU coaches: nothing is more frustrating on a weekend like this is when a college coach comes to watch your kids play and your roster doesn’t match the book and it’s not even close. These are your kids and you are hurting their recruiting.
Tonight was a tough night for all of us in the RBR basketball family. They honored Albert Martin tonight after our school lost him 10 years ago. Biggie, I know you are watching over my entire family. We miss you. My two daughters still have the best big brother ever.

Mark and Xavi are two great coaches and two of the better people in this business. If my daughters were at a prospect age, I’d trust them with my kids…
I feel a lot of people may disagree but I’m going to say it anyway: after watching the Knicks since Randle got hurt, I think they are a better defensive team and more connected offensively cause the ball doesn’t stick! Maybe it’s a small sample size but I see a difference.

I have a TON of respect for Rick Carlisle as a coach but I have to take him to task. Brunson misses a WHOLE quarter, OG missed the LAST 15 minutes. Your teams inability to get stops, take the Knicks out to start the 3rd quarter, AND sitting TJ McConnell cost you the game, NOT the
