Wait this was not a game you were “supposed” to win
The Magic are also trying to be at that ECF and realistically can
Biggest problem yall have is you downgraded your coach
Thibs was a waaaay better coach 💯
The wendell screen was clean man stop this.
Fuckkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry but the biggest issue with this team’s defense is KAT. He flat out refuses to challenge anyone in the paint. It’s outright disgraceful. Can’t even put his hands up! Just literally takes up space. Leon’s biggest mistake. Don’t care that he can shoot (and he’s not even good at that this season)
The Knicks lost to the Magic again, falling 133-121 on November 22, 2025, due to defensive struggles and a poor second half. The Magic's offense was led by Franz Wagner, who scored 37 points, while the Knicks allowed their opponent to shoot over 55% from the field. The loss was compounded by a shoulder injury to Knicks guard Landry Shame
Not just Josh Hart. Yabusele has turned into just a big body taking up space out there just useless.I know he isnt going anywhere but I will say it again KAT does not fit this team. Defensive liability, slows the Mike Btown pace down and poster 3s not falling at wrong moments of the game. Not to mention all his silly fouls. When he is not scoring he is a detriment as well.
Bad d bad ref bad knicks= bad loss
I agree George, Hart has to go. He was Thibs grandson and Brunson brother. Commits too many bone head plays!
George u cry waaaaay too much now. When we win your all happy when we lose 1 game u want to curse and trade players. Relax dude
Brotha last game against the Magic, the Magic held OG to 8 pts and he could not stop Wagner. The Knicks Problem against the Magic is they gotta learn how to outrun the Magic to beat them. The Magic can’t set their defense when you beat them back! That’s how u wear down the Magic. Another problem with the Knicks is they are not too athletic so it’s hard for them to run. Knicks are good but the Magic matchup with their line up poses too many mismatches in favor the Magic.
To Magics credit their front office hit on a lot of their drafts . Paolo, F.Wagner , Suggs , Da Silva and Black are studs. They’re all long and athletic n versatile n the only thing they were missing was offense and now it’s starting to hit. Jet Howard is starting to hit his 3s too and he was also recent draft pick. You throw in Bane and good playing Wendell Carter and now you got a problem. This Magic team FULLY HEALTHY is gonna be a handful. I’m happy Magic is starting to make this league respect us by winning .
Wendall Carter and Jaime Jaquez better not get caught in the streets fist👊🏾
It's becoming clear , this group is not a championship team . The talent and toughness is not there . Too many injuries . Same players , Mitch , OG , Shamet . We are getting blown out by younger , healthier teams . Coaching change not the the determinant factor . It's health , youth , availability to play.
The Knicks could trade Josh mitch yabu for jj and gg of Memphis and pics the numbers work
I’m sorry to disagree with you man.. Josh Hart is coming off the bench; we can fix that.. Thee main problem to me is KAT.. I keep telling you guys again and again , we only have one super star here and that’s Jalen.. KAT is absolutely a no show every game when it comes to backing up his Batman. He his consistently flopping and falling!! What kind of Shi**t is that., is not even knocking down 3’s as a so called “ best shooting big”” come on doggs..
Boy I'll never understand sports fans like you. When ever things don't go your way the first thing yall wanna do is find somebody to fire or throw under the bus.. this is the team you have a true fan rides with their team period and find a way to improve ones flaws.. you deal with it. Now.. first of all with or without Shamet yall arent beating the Magic. Second there was a foul called.. on Shamet. Clean block he has position and didnt move, lean, or change position.. Shamat ran into him with all his force and didn't realise he was running into a brick wall. FAFO. soft. Second WC Jr didnt stick his foot out last game Brunson ran into his foot which caused it to extend AFTER contact was made. Brunson tweeked his ankle on his own. 3rd this was NOT a close game that Knicks should have won.. being down an avg of 10pts nearly the entire game espcially once the 4th Q started. Stop with the delusion.. a close game that should of been won was Magic being up 2 pts vs Houston with Anthony Black at the line for a free throw to go up 3pts with 1.7 seconds left on the clock.. THAT was a close game that should of been won.. by the Magic. Take these L's and continue to overlook the Magic and their D
Let get str8 to the point
Mike brown can’t coach this team
He’s not built for ny
Knicks recap are you serious Josh hart gotta go, come on man let’s be serious Mike brown can’t coach. To jump on Josh hart who is the hart of the team I expected more of you as a Knick fan. I might just unsubscribe to you.
OG wasn't missed…what? The funky lil 8 points he had managed the last time vs. Orlando? Even with his 8 the Knicks would still lose. Give props where props are due. Mitchell was COOKED by Franz..smh check the tape..how many times did he not respect Franz shot? Why wasn't anyone else on the team trying to step up on Franz..believe what u want home lol…sum people still believe in Easter bunnies and Santa lol so try to "believe" all u want.. My Magic have punched ur Knicks in the mouth at the Garden(Home) jus to come to our house and get dropkick out the door..Dont let me start on ur Kat or as I call him..Pussy Kat…soft on d..always yapping n crying to refs.. smh..+/- talk..check ur Brunson kid..
Did i mention we played without Mo and Paulo due to injury as well..so i understand how u feel bout playing without meaniful contributers….guess thats where depth comes into play 😉
Bring back Elfrid Payton he can tremendously help us
Hart is not PF, need one and a guy for OG backup
Knicks are allowing 115.9 points a game so far this season. Under Thibbs they allowed 108. It looks like they lost that toughness. Orlando pushing them around again this game. So much so that they gave up in the fourth quarter. Knicks look soft.
I like that Bridges is getting aggressive.
Cheap Shot Screen .. cmon man weak statement … you obviously wasn’t a Charles Oakley fan? However understandable when your big man is zesty lol FR tho Magic are physical. Step ur game up NYK … LGM!
Kat is a bum. He is definitely replaceable. His defense is horrible. His offense lately has been inconsistent. He can't always create his own shots. And for the money he is making he is replaceable.
Josh Hart got to go. They give up
too many three and can't make any
Jorge I disagree yabu and Mitch we should move off of
Not trolling but Knicks fans never be realistic with themselves and this is why they are always being let down because your expectations is way too high. This team is not better than the Pistons and you saw it last year with how badly they struggled against a hurt piston team. Knick fans got to see a glimpse of how powerful Detroit really is. They upgraded the pieces they let go and now they have Ivey coming back who looked great last night in his debut plus Cade , duren and Asuar rise
I’ve said it for a long time. Granted he gives hussle but his lack of skill set
Both offensively and defensively. We
Don’t need all his crying for calls, tantrums as if he’s a super star wanting call. All his shots are ill advised . It’s more than his lack of skill but his IQ is sub par. Change is isn’t just needed it’s inevitable and mandatory
This guys a bozo , everything you say is dumb , Josh hart does so much grinding work for this team Thibs utilized hart way better
Evidence clearly shows a “true positive” fact: Towns was a major mistake, and he is the primary reason behind the Knicks’ poor defense and mediocre offense. My position is straightforward—the Knicks should (or must) move on from him as soon as possible.
Other critical failure mechanisms include:
• (A) Brunson’s excessive isolation play
• (B) Bridges disappearing—or shrinking—when the game intensifies
• (C) Hart’s costly turnovers
• (D) Robinson essentially being “a man down” (no three-point shooting, no reliable free-throw performance for an NBA player)
• (E) Yabusele being clearly out of shape to compete at a professional level
My prediction: Coach Brown will not last much longer.
KAT comes alive with great energy when he is in offense but dry as a desert when he plays defense.
Hart wanted to be a starter😂😂 GTFOH! Dude passes up 3’s and passes it out from under the rim for turnovers. Teams know they don’t need to worry about him scoring consistently! Donte fits Coach Browns offense so much better, trade Hart for Donte please!
A few games ago Hart was amazing
I agree with you George I believe that Josh hart has become the Marcus smart of this team he needs to go.
Tyler kolek , Mitchell Robinson , Yabusele 444 , Kyle kusma , Anthony Davis , Don't Trade Josh Hart
We don't need to trade Josh. We just need to utilize him in ways that he's most effective. We have to accept his limitations and stop trying to ask him to do things beyond his capabilities. He's not a 40% 3 pt shooter. He's a grind it out 6th man. He can't guard anyone over 6'4". He isn't effective past about 16 minutes per game. Give him more than that and his minutes become garbage minutes with a -22 +/-. That's who Josh Hart is. If Mike Brown is smart enough to realize that, he can get the best minutes out of Josh without causing detriment to the rest of the team effort. Just don't try to reinvent the wheel, and give him more of a load than he can handle and Josh can be a very effective and consistent 6th man. 😇
You as a so called podcaster, has no patience and I feel you don't know basketball enough to stay behind your team.. comeon rock with your team ,see how this team has shown they are getting better . You have totally forgot what Josh did bring to this team, and NOW you want to jump ship and kick him off the team after a few bad turn.overs which all has been doing the same. Get it together with your pod cast..
Remember when the knick needed James Harden look at Anthony Davis x2 better player then Mitchell Robinson
It's the coach he's slowly losing the locker room
