Suggs sucks
Hahaha watching fouls called only one way sure is fun!
Refs suck. Randle goated. Fuck Orlando. Goodnight.
Randle pulled a cade cunningham the rest of our team looked like everyone else on the pistons
Something I notice with games like this that people over look is our unathletic lineups. When a team is really physical we have a hard time playing with them. Same reason why the Bucks and Raptors give us a hard time.
Without Mitch, we can’t win those games without MVP performances
Fucking IQ clearly got hit in the face and no call man we fucking sucked tonight but these refs fucked us over big time man
Starters were terrible tonight other than Randle. Just a bad game
JB played the worst game of the season. Randle a beast. RJ again can’t show up for two halves of games. IQ needs to get more mins when DDV can’t hit a shot. Hart idk, dude was invisible.
You can all SMTFTB, you know who you are
Lmao what the hell was this game.
Knicks must insert Quickley into the starting lineup and play Grimes more as well.
Using RJ as the four moving forward might be a solution as well.
Brunson, Quickley, DiVincenzo, Randle, and Hartenstein to start the game and McBride, Grimes, Hart, Barrett, and Gibson in the second unit.
Without Robinson, Knicks must extend the rotation and play balls-to-the-wall on defense and the defensive glass every single second.
Refs bad
We need more shooting. Same problem as last year. Go get Bogdanovic, put him in to start at the 3, and it’ll change the whole shape of the team.
Randle playing inside is the best change I’ve seen him have in his game the last 3 seasons. Without him bailing out the defenses with bs shots there’s stretches where he looks unstoppable
Hate the lineup with him at C though.
Brunson played like trash. RJ first half played like trash. Refs were on one something. Quickley was really unlucky. Randle beast. Fuck small market teams
Team has big problems..and now effort is something of a concern, because for 3 quarters outside of randle and Hart the effort was pathetic. One thing this team you could count on is they wouldn’t be outworked by their opponent, and now starting to see nights like tonight happening more often where they aren’t just beat they are outworked
Absolute dog shit from the zebras tonight
Decided to play one quarter today. The offense is just so tough to watch when people aren’t winning in isolation. Need more than just one ballscreen in offensive sets. Too much standing around watching one guy try to get buckets.
RJ Barrett with a -22
Y’all need perspective. The issue isn’t fouls, JB having an off game, or even the 3 point bricks. Those all contributed to the loss tonight but are irrelevant and will be forgotten within days. What’s plaguing this team is defense, especially without Mitch. The front office did nothing for front court depth over the summer and we are paying for it now.
Quality 4th quarter win for the refs tonight. Although We were beating ourselves for the majority of the game until we weren’t and almost came back. Young upcoming magic team beating the knicks who were in the playoffs last year. There’s your story for the night. GG magic though they played well enough.
The front office on the clock. Having zero front court depth is killing us. I like the Taj signing, but he should be a 5-10 minute/night guy MAX. Too many teams play 4 out, or they have stretch bigs that can shoot. We have no true 3’s, and only one 4 in Julius. We have zero switchable length on defense. Thib’s strategy of using Hart as an answer to all problems isn’t getting it done.
Awful ass second quarter did it. Guards were cheeks and the defense was still very suspect but the Magic shot awful. If Mitch ain’t coming back we’re going to be in some deep shit.
Refs bad in a game where the Knicks were -1 🤔.
Team has no length or shooting.
Got to trade for a consistent three point shooter to win with Brunson and Randle. Until then we aren’t serious contenders.
Rj gotta be the most frustrating player man. Basura 1st half. Great 2nd half
Brunson worse game by far. Played a bit too selfish
Randle was trying to carry us.
Iq had a dud
Pacers tomorrow sigh
Give Immanuel Quickley his damn minutes
Looks like the Cavs will also lose which helps in the standings. And we still get to face Orlando 3 more times this season.
Still this team needs a trade. This 9 man rotation won’t cut it especially when the identity of this team is size and rebounding
It’s crazy how this FO believed we didn’t need any forward on this team when it’s clearly the way this league is going. I don’t even blame Thibs, we have the most unbalanced roster in the entire league.
Also, to the hidden Randle haters remember this game when he looked like the only person who cared while the rest of our team was chilling.
One good thing to take away of this game:
The Brunson – IQ backcourt is real. PLEASE THIBS DO IT!
For the love of god start IQ. DDV doesn’t give defense when so he provides no value when he can’t hit his 3s.
Need Mitch back.
I still believe in this roster, but I don’t believe in this offense with Thibodeau at the helm.
If only the Knicks could use Thibodeau as defensive coordinator and have Kenny Atkinson on offense.
The fact the Knicks don’t use Randle and Brunson together on a must have possession makes zero sense.
A well oiled Brunson and Randle two-man game has been missing since Brunson was signed.
That cannot be.
Brunson, Quickley, Grimes/DiVincenzo, Randle, and Hartenstein is a good enough starting lineup.
Gibson at this point in his career is not a suited to play anywhere close to 15 minutes a game and asking Hartenstein to go 35+ is too much.
Knicks lack of depth is coming back to bite them meanwhile the Heat do nothing but churn out talent.
6-30 from 3 and i see more comments about the refs than that..blaming the wrong things folks
Can’t blame the refs when we slept on them for 3 quarters. And if Julius at the 5 doesn’t work against goga then it probably won’t work against anyone
Not sure be ever seen thibs storm out like that
What veteran center not named Dwight Howard is even available to be signed this late into the season?
Noel? Dedmon?
I can’t take watching Gibson slowly drain his life away playing extended minutes.
There a few loose balls that Gibson simply gave up on and I don’t blame him, he has no business being out there for longer than 3-4 minute stretches to end a quarter.
Thibs needs to get angry at himself for his unwillingness to make adjustments. He has a point about the calls tho
A dude name Franz showed a bunch of Knicks how it’s done. SMH. I can’t with this team
