I’m a Knicks fan and very concerned. They were beat by the pistons this season in the series. And struggle against top teams but still going with them to win. Josh hart needs to step up big time

How the pundits focus on only 1-2 players on these TEAMS (13 man rosters) is odd.

Bucks got a deep team with kpj, portis, and dairy bird off the bench. Dont forget they traded Middleton for kuz control
