Maybe we should have taken the starters out when we were down 20 last night with 7 minutes left in the game?  Would we have had more players available tonight if we did?    Better to save something for today’s game once it was apparent we weren’t going to win last night.

Interestingly enough, probably because the Knicks are also down some key players, despite the players we’re holding out and it being the second night of a back to back for us (we generally suck on second game of back to backs), we are actually favored by about 3.5.

The blank injury report didn't last too long... :(

I watched an interview with Coach last night. He was asked where fultz was in the second half.   He said he was protecting him because of the back to back.  And yet.... he is not playing

Feel sorry for Steele and Turner …games is in our KIA Center but the crowd is so loud chanting MVP for Jalen Brunson that it drowns Steele out lol …only in Orlando

Giving up 36 in the first quarter to a depleted Knicks team.  Very bad start once again.

Game over. I already called the blowout loss tonight to the Knicks. Relatively easy call to make and I made it correctly. No defense. No winning. Plain and simple.
