I like that other Euro kid the Knicks got.

He'll get plenty of minutes with Moose out.

Kris should be playing whether Moose is available or not though.  I should say in place of Moose moving forward.

Don't-leavy coming back down to Earth a bit...

Tim eventually opened Bud's eyes and its paying off. Nice run by him right now.

[Thomas]

Dennis with the cha-ching. Nice finish.

Wow scary win .... held my breath on the that Rose drive at the end

we won with a 6'8 center .. I hope we don't do that again ... we got killed on the boards

Will say that Noah rebounds extremely well against power forwards.

I've never seen one player turn the worst rebounding team into a top 10 rebounding team.

I didn't think he did that bad ... he had a couple in and outs and he also made some nice passes that didn't translate into assists because guys missed their shots

[Plainview1981]

Sap needs to start shooting better. His poor shooting is a bit concerning this year.

That said, you feel lucky when you win with a 6'8 center.

[Ropadope]

For next season, upgrading Moose, Baze, Bu PG , and the maturation of Bembry/Prince would fit nicely if we are able to resign Sap reasonably.  

[benhillboy]

Mr. Holman highlights that we've been the second-best team in the league since Christmas behind The Hardenettes.  I can deal with that.

Those are empty stats, plebe.

I'll take it, I'll have to see the replay.

Delaney will be fine.

Nice bounce back game by Dennis. I really liked his shot selection and his efficiency even more. If Sap would have hit some shots Dennis could have had a lot more assists and we would have won the game by 10 to 15...

[Gray Mule]

Great win !  CA hit some great shots but missed the most important one

at the end, as the final clock ran down.  Wasn't that good !

Hawks left 7 on the free throw line - - Millsap, 4 and Humphries - 3.

Moose out with injury.  D8 out to rest.  Bembry apparently wasn't there.

Millsap's shooting was somewhere between cool and cold.  Dennis had eye

trouble.  Scott played a little.  Just a little.

Yet, with all this going wrong, Hawks won!

Hump made the game winning pass, an assist to Dennis the Menance, who,

cool as the other side of the pillow, sank that three to put us ahead!  Then,

with only about 3 seconds remaining, the ball comes to Dennis and, WOW,

it's all over !!!

[Guest]

I'll take it. Nice game Timmy and Dennis and a shout out to Hump!

 

This one is for idiot Chuck who said the Knicks would be in the playoffs and better than the Hawks.

[StephenHawking]

HUMPGOD. 

Glad we won tonight without Howard. But it showed hoe important he can be. Knicks wouldn't have been as close as they where if Noah would've had 5 Rebs instead of 17. 

I get a little concerned with Sap honestly. Hes what's holding us back from being a legit contender for ecf. He isn't playing that bad but he could do way better with his shots because  then the hawks would dominate such match ups instead of winning them tight.

A last thought that came to my mind: I LOVE how clutch we are this year. Its not specifically the last play but we close out very well in the last 5 minutes. If only coach bud would get his last possession plays to function. We'd be a cold blooded monster comes playoff time
