Chris Mannix

We've seen during these games, he's come up limping a couple of times from what I've seen.

But they can't win unless he's efficient.

He doesn't have to give you 20, 25, but he's got to give you 15 to 17 with efficient numbers.

And if he's not able to do that, I'm not sure how San Antonio scores enough to win in the series.

I think you got to at least try to get Keldon going.

He was such a big part of what they did in the regular season and in the playoffs.

He's equipped to defend Cat for stretches.

He's big enough, strong enough, and he's had moments in the series where he comes down with an offensive rebound and he has a putback.

He's not shooting with confidence now at all.

He's just kind of aiming at the rim, and that shot has even more arc on it, it seems like, than it usually does.

I think you've got to try

to engineer something out of him because his energy in the locker room, on the floor, it's been infectious for this team.

It's been so valuable for them, the regular season and the playoffs.

I think you got to at least try, but I'm with you.

If it's not working in the first half of game three, just start burning out Dylan Harper.

That's all you can do.

You got to play him as many minutes as possible because he has been impactful on both ends.

You know, the sneaky, impactful player for the Knicks who we haven't talked about has been Ananobi.

Like, he's playing a really solid two-way series.

And he's come up with some big, big buckets for them.
