What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Thought more wins vs. the opp. conf. would be pretty rare, but the Pistons are also doing it (9 vs. West, 7 vs. East) & 2 teams – Pacers & Blazers – did it last season.
Last season’s Blazers & 2000-01 Rockets had biggest differences of last 25 yrs: 5 more W vs. opp. conf. – 10:48 PM

Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Jalen Brunson had a protective boot on his sore foot while sitting on the bench Sunday in LA.
He’s not wearing it tonight.
Also not walking with any sort of noticeable limp, FWIW
Knicks don’t play again until Saturday – 10:44 PM

Isaiah Hartenstein with one last-second effort to impress the Jets before Aaron Rodgers arrives – 10:41 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through one quarter, the Blazers lead the Knicks 33-20.
• Randle 10 & 4, 3 fls
• Barrett 5 & 2
• McBride 3 asts
• Thybulle 10 & 3
• Lillard 3-2-5 – 10:37 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Btw if you are on Heat standings watch, the Nets fall to the Thunder and Knicks down double digits in the first quarter – 10:28 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Randle does not have 18 points in the first quarter tonight. And with 3:30 left neither do the Knicks 23-10 Portland. – 10:27 PM

Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Matisse Thybulle:
4-for-4 for 10 points
The entire Knicks team:l combined:
3-for-13 for 8 points
Not ideal – 10:27 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
It’s not even eight minutes into the game and things are going so poorly for the Knicks that it feels fortunate they’re down only 15 – 10:25 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
By the way, don’t want this information to be passed over — It’s Big Foot Night here at the Moda Center in Portland. … as they say, keep Portland weird. – 10:18 PM

Casey Holdahl @CHold
Blazers flip the script a bit by jumping out to a quick 8-0 start, forcing the Knicks to call timeout with 8:58 to play in the first quarter – 10:16 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Not sure I can remember a more Jekyll and Hyde homestand for #Pelicans. Beat Mavs by 7 (with Kyrie, as well as Luka for part of that game), get mostly dominated by Thunder, go up by 39 and pummel Blazers, down 39 to Lakers mid 3Q – 9:29 PM

Thibs on Cam Reddish: “He’s played very well. I’m happy for him. It was one of those trades that I think was good for both teams.” – 8:41 PM

Tom Thibodeau on Cam Reddish: “He’s played very well. I’m happy for him. It was one of those trades that I think was good for both teams.” – 8:40 PM

Tom Thibodeau on Josh Hart: “The impact he’s had, it was immediate. It’s all the intangibles. The team just functions well when he’s on the floor. He’s been terrific for us.” – 8:38 PM

Sean Highkin @highkin
Chauncey Billups says Jerami Grant is out tonight. Damian Lillard is going to go through warmups and see how he feels. The hope is Grant won’t be a multiple-game absence. – 8:19 PM

Casey Holdahl @CHold
Damian Lillard (calf) is a game-time decision and Jerami Grant (quad) is out for tonight’s game versus Knicks – 8:18 PM

Haralabos Voulgaris @haralabob
If Dame got to play off the ball and take most of his 3s (nearly all) as C&S while playing next to the greatest shooter of all time – wonder what his #s would look like. – 7:47 PM

Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Damian Lillard has always been a real one. Respect his comments about how winning a ring doesn’t define him, he has a life outside of basketball and the journey means something. If he’s happy in Portland good for him. Definitely worth a listen.

Went back and watched a bunch of Derrick Rose at Memphis last night, and man. That team was a super fun, modern team. Versatile defenders like Dozier and Dorsey. Mack, Anderson and Kemp firing from 3. CDR as a killer secondary option.
Cal should recruit rosters like that again. – 6:35 PM

Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
The Utah Jazz would have the 11th overall lottery selection in the 2023 NBA draft if the season ended today, which is the best possible pick the Knicks can receive this year from Dallas (the pick is top-ten protected). – 4:59 PM
