OKC Thunder: TI editor power rankings week 19 – strength of schedules loom
The drought is over as the Knicks not only began to win but to get quality wins like the one against the road-weary Spurs. Given the Raptors also lost to the Magic this might point more to the true emotions of the rematch in the 6ix.
The Mecca is getting some quality performances out of Dennis Smith Jr., and while Frank Ntilikini is listed out due to a sore groin it does beg the question of whether Fizdale and the brain trust have already moved on from the ‘French Prince’.
