It’s kind of making me think there is some mental weakness going on. Even if not 100%, pace is faster, role has changed some, he should be talented and smart enough to figure it out sooner than this.

I know we don’t have a lot of options but playing him and Penda together is horrific

Paolo is starting to get some jumpers to fall. If the end of this game is him getting his rhythm and he plays with the patience he played with tonight the rest of the road trip, they will be just fine.

26-15-10 for Paolo. He is up to 9/19 from the floor.

Paolo Banchero records a triple-double with the assist to Wendell Carter for that three. It is his third career triple-double. Jumper has not been there, but I do love Paolo's activity and patience. Just one turnover tonight.

The Knicks are definitely the favorite but 5 teams could legitimately all beat each other and make the finals - Knicks, Cavs, Magic, Pistons, Boston (with Tatum)

Winning the cup against a hurt Magic team and a grieving Wemby does not convince me otherwise
