    This is one of those games that if you win it, you've won a game of checkers and if you lose it you're winning a game of chess. Gotta know when to sacrifice a pawn.

    Resting Quickley. Half the rest of he team out. I don't know. Familiar story but are Toronto's back ups good?

    Are Scoot and Sharpe ever going to start in the backcourt before the season is over?

    Really too bad that Walker can't play.

    Karl Anthony Towns, cheap shot artist with his elbow. Like another Karl. (malone). I think Malone once elbowed Grant in the mouth and knocked out a tooth.

    How did the refs miss that one? Or was it just play on? :dupnoevil:

    Agreed. His three ball falling changes everything for him. He's super productive.

    I'd rather have Scoot shoot it than Ant. That's how good he's gotten. They should consider keeping Bari.

    Walker is 11-13 from three over a 4 game stretch prior to the Knicks game. Prior to those 4 games, he was 12-46 on the season...that's 26%. When a player is shooting 26% on three's over 45 games, and then a 4 game sample bumps him way up to 39%, there's no reason to believe this is anything other than a sample size artifact.
