Don't let anything in life distract you from the fact that Landry Shamet dunked on Kal'el Ware
Deuce is supposed to be what GRIMES has become, Deuce belongs in the G League 🤔
Bridges continues to be soft going to the basket. Need to dunk the ball not finesse it in the hoop. 😂😂😂😂
Deuce should be better. Lets see how it goes.
Actually, I thought it was quite pretty. I mean, the Knicks scored 141 points with only 8 turnovers!
@knickfanstv you’re related to Powell or you mean because he’s Jamaican?
Great win. kat & Shamet on 🔥 ❤Whats the word on OG?
CK2K was fantastic 👏🏾 on live KFTV.
Ok deuce always has a problem getting past people he can't dribble. He shouldn't be in the game before Clarkson period.
I respect Deuce especially on defense. But he is not the facilitator that Josh Hart is.
Was at the garden last night and as a huge Landry Shamet supporter I was so glad he had his moment with the Landry Shamet chants in the garden. Sucks we lost OG too but this is the time dudes need to step up and take advantage of the opportunity! Let’s go Knicks!
Between the Mario bros movies, Zelda, and Mertoid Prime, what if all this is setting up a "Super Smash Brothers" secret wars type movie? I would be down for that!
My guy Cardi C did work tonight. When he hot he on fire. No fire look out. I'll take it good and bad…..
Why do you people keep saying the wins arent pretty. What exactly do you people expect. You guys sounds like women, never satisfied.
There’s no difference between Shamet and Divencenzo, and that’s what I’ve been saying from since last season!! It was just a shame he got hurt before the season started last season! It was great how his game flourished for the kid. So happy for him because I knew he had it in him!!
The team almost always plays well with Deuce on the floor.
GO KNICKS BABY 👶
NBA FINALS CHAMPS JUNE 🏆 2026
NEW YORK KNICKS BABY 🎉
BEST HIRE COACH EVER FROM THE PRESIDENT LEON ROSE AND STAFF
COACH MIKE BROWN
GO KNICKS BABY 😂
Josh, gets a lot of credit for being a terrible defender and a limited scorer.
Is there some bitter secret betwin JB n KAT ?…. no JB, the whole team flu away
Unlike the Orlando game, the ball movement was phenomenal.
Ppl be talking just to talk? “I think we should start hart over deuce” guess ppl forgot we’re down 2 starters not just 1 so deuce will start and either hart or shamet at the 2-3
CP I love Alex , nd CK but where my boy JD I ain’t see him
In a minute
It was a bench thang my brother!!! Shamet, Clarkson and Hart supplied that fuel for the fire!!! Bridges was a defensive monster. Kat was on fully display and didn't disappoint!!! Prayers for the silent predator OG hope he bounces back ASAP. Knicks can't afford being down 2 stars when they head out on the 5-6 game road trip.
I see all the hype talk, but why wouldn't you allow the offense to run through Bridges? He has proven time after time he can take charge this in my opinion would take the pressure off McBride allowing him to play off ball where he does 90% of his damage. Also, I agree that Ariel should get the PT instead of Yaba.
Questions: Westchester Pink 2 way contract, how come we haven't pulled the trigger? Love coach brown, great vibes, how come he's not tapping into our bench? Maybe my observation is off but I see Yabusele as powerful 5 he's strong, great at carefully (no foul trouble) clearing the paint, crashingboards, getting rebounds on both ends I feel his size, strength is better suited as a true 5 I know he can hit 3s but he's being used incorrectly IMO – he belongs in the paint what are your thoughts on this? How come some of the bench isn't being utilized more? I know coach is testing things out, he likes a combination he keeps them out longer – this is all a test run right now
