No. She’s way too established for that and Colin is too dominant to share a show.

[@heliossantana5115]

Ny needs to go get Mikal Bridges this off season. He would be the perfect fit for next years team.

[@j.r.3945]

Can the Knicks make the conference finals? Absolutely. Is that more a testament to how good they are or how bad the East is? Not sure. That’s coming from a Knicks fan

[@solidsnake7167]

Knicks need a wing that can get you a bucket any-time. Even a Paul George type would make allll the difference in the world with the Knicks. They aren't super talented frankly. A team full of scrappers that are super well coached, but they need a blue chipper to make them a title contender. My 2 cents

[@vinnyb3978]

They also dont have Randle. I know people have doubts about him but the guy gets 20 a game and if Hart is the "heart" of the team Randle is our physical presence. And when he drives the defense collapses then he can kick out to our shooters. We're missing him a lot even if some Knick fans won't admit it.

[@coreyyo991]

@@vinnyb3978seems like they play better without Randle tbh

[@leonarddoeman735]

​@@solidsnake7167they don't need an old Paul George lol. Julie Randall healthy would make all the difference in the world. He takes the edge off Brunson.

[@JovicaMilutinovic]

I've been watching and following the NBA since the 95/96 season, I still have an album with pictures from the 96/97 season. Although it is difficult to watch games in Serbia due to the unpleasant time difference, I managed to watch the play-off games at the beginning of the Bulls later Kings - because of Divac and Peja Stojakovic. I took a 4 year hiatus from when the Kings got robbed in a game against the Lakers in a year they could have won a ring. I've been following Jokic for 10 years now and not miss a game with Joker 5 season, also big fan of Denver because they built a team in a very unusual way for the NBA these days. The Lakers had an advantage of 20 points in the second game and that's ok.. But it's not the Lakers who play every game like the first half in Denver. Russell doesn't hit 5/5 three-pointers every game, Davis doesn't shoot 92% of his shots in 28 of his 32 points. It's luck, and luck has no role in sports, but consistency and team play (basketball is a team sport)do. On the other hand, New York is also in the phase of building a very good team and they really play hard and have a team spirit like Denver. It is changing a lot and the NBA has already changed, you can't talk about L.James and Cury, Durrant who are 36+ years old (like all the other players with 35+), in addition to so many new young talents, there is constant drama about LJ, KD... .that is the past and we should turn to young players and young teams like Cavs, Magic, OKC, Toronto, Denver, Dallas.

[@thabomahlangu8041]

Colin says the Knicks are overachieving? They have been to the playoffs for 3 of the last 4 seasons. Each year no worse than the 5th seed when in the playoffs, they have two all-NBA players, two all-defensive players in Robinson and Anunoby, and one of the best catch-and-shoot guards in the league with Divo. On the bench Hartenstein, McBride, Josh Hart, and Bogie. This is not 2016 please.

Not for nothin', but Kobe Bryant has two All-Time NBA scoring records that won't be broken for quite sometime...9 STRAIGHT 40+ games and 4 STRAIGHT 50+ games. Anthony Edwards has the best chance nowadays...

[@molder2233]

It’s called being a ball hog. Kobe was a great scorer but didn’t necessarily make his team better like a Nikola Jokic does. Tell me, how many of those games did the Lakers actually win?

[@garyaugustus690]

@@molder2233 ....Wrong... From '07-'08, '08-'09, '09-'10 Kobe put the Lakers on his back to not only go back-to-back, but to avenge the last Laker Finals loss to their nemesis Boston Celtics. It was Kobe who galvanized Pau, Odom, Metta, Bynum, Fish, Farmar, and Shannon Brown to that greatness.

I enjoy Malik Andrews but there is no doubt that Rachel Nichols KNOWS the NBA like very few talking heads. She deserves and we need a venue where her insights can be shared. Skip Bayless is not it.
