Not sure who is more disappointed/upset:
The dude on Love is Blind who thought he was getting a Megan Fox lookalike
Or
Thibs/Leon Rose who thought they were getting a good Alec Burks – 8:30 PM

Paolo Banchero is lighting the Knicks up from the mid range. He has 12 points in the first quarter alone on 5/7 FG. Wendell Carter has also hit a pair of 3s. Those are the only 2 Magic players with points. – 8:05 PM

Jalen Brunson gets deafening applause in pregame introductions after missing 2 games with a bruised knee. Brunson is back in the lineup. Knicks are 0-3 to the Magic this season. Knicks are right behind the Magic in the standings. Shorthanded or not, this is a big game. – 7:40 PM

With OG Anunoby now practicing without limitations, he’s at the final step of rehab: getting cleared by NYK doctors/medical staff. “Just see how he responds the next day (after a practice), the doctor clears him, then he can go,” Tom Thibodeau says. – 6:28 PM
