Tyler Nickel dropped six treys on 10 attempts Friday against the Nets, the lone positive in a blowout defeat that featured ugly performances from summer league vets Mohamed Diawara, Pacôme Dadiet and Dillon Jones. On Saturday, Nickel again was the Knicks’ leading scorer with 16 points on 6-for-14 shooting in 30 minutes in the Knicks’ 70-49 loss to the Spurs. “I definitely feel like I have some comparisons in the league. I feel like I’m a mix of some different guys: my size, my strength, my shooting ability,” Nickel said. “I feel really comfortable shooting off the move, so like [Detroit’s] Duncan Robinson, [Cleveland’s] Max Strus, [Boston’s] Sam Hauser. But then I have my own type of way of being. So it’s kind of a mix of a lot of people but also myself.”
StatMuse: Celtics 3-point shooting in Game 7. Jaylen Brown: 3-9 3P Derrick White: 5-16 3P Baylor Sheierman: 0-3 3P Payton Pritchard: 2-7 3P Hugo Gonazlez: 0-3 3P Jordan Walsh: 0-2 3P Ron Harper Jr: 0-1 3P Luka Garza: 0-2 3P Sam Hauser: 3-6 3P Mazzulla ball.
Bobby Krivitsky: Hauser: “You got to have a lot of belief in yourself, and you got to put a lot of work in. So I think those two things I'm pretty proud of. “And that doesn't stop. On a daily basis, you have to continue to prove yourself in this league, because there's always new guys coming in the league.” 1/x
Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels have been together for six seasons, an eternity in the turnstile NBA. They have played 382 regular-season games together since uniting in 2020, 113 more than the next closest active trio: Boston’s Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard and Derrick White (269 games), according to Elias Sports Bureau. They’ve reached two straight Western Conference finals, unprecedented success for a franchise that has spent most of its existence toiling in dysfunction and self-pity. “It’s pretty cool. It’s like going to high school freshman year with your friends and just sticking together the whole way, building each year,” McDaniels said. “Each year we’ve been together, we’ve gotten better and went further (as players) than we have the previous season.”

Teammates Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Derrick White and Queta are all averaging career highs in points per game. "Jaylen has believed in this group from the get-go, and that includes the summer and that includes when we were 0-3, and I think that's helped bring out the best in all of those guys," Stevens said. "He has seemed to find a lot of joy in helping them prove themselves."

“Ron’s getting better,” Pritchard said. “But second is tied between Neemi and D-White.” “I’m a newcomer,” Harper Jr. added. What about Walsh? “Jordan sucks,” Pritchard said. Not everyone on the team plays Catan. Sam Hauser said he has yet to dabble with the crowd-favorite. Hauser, who said he’s not even sure how the game works, asked Queta who typically wins. “Definitely not me,” quipped the Portuguese big man.
