He looked unmotivated at times(selfish) and out of step with keeping up defensively against the Bucks which makes you wonder if his knees are a concern especially he is seeking

Smallthoughts: Rave of the Week…New York Knicks

  It remains to be seen if the trade of Kristpas Porzingis actually in the long run nets them Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant but one thing is certain…this trade made the Knicks players in the 2019 free agent market. That in it self is big news because in recent years the Knick couldn’t get

Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week… New York Knicks

      Is this franchise snake bit? Can anything go right? Am I wrong to stay a Knick fan when all I get is more grief more setbacks and more of hit the restart button again? Even when they get a franchise player disaster strikes. This is off the court …on the court they
