PG: KNICKS vs 76ers - "A Win Is A Win!"

This team won't get real far in the post season without bench production. In order to get bench production you actually need your bench playing minutes. Live or die with the starters is a first/second round exit.

Josh Hart hasn’t attempted a 3 in two straight games. Hasn’t made one since the Pacers game and has a total of 4 made 3s for the entire month

Teams are starting to defend him like he’s Ben Simmons and just packing the paint and helping out on the strong side.

He’s turning down shots and forcing passes which has hurt the offense by a lot

Mitch looked really good this game though, glad to see he's back.

Nah man I don’t care how much we’ve struggled at times, we can’t be trying to avoid the Pistons. Can’t live like this. Tf are we trying to watch in the playoffs? There’s tougher teams to worry about than the Pistons.

Trying to avoid teams in the playoffs is loser behavior

And by that I mean, if you're scared of a team, you gotta play them eventually, or the team that beat them. Also bad karma, though I don't really believe in that.

Bench Hart, start Deuce.

Unfortunately, Bridges and OG are weak rebounders so Thibs will never do this.

Also, Hart is probably a better ball handler than Deuce, which is another flaw the team has.

Oh well. They should do it.

Hart will still get 30 mpg backing up 2/3/4, so the issue will remain.

We all know that he'll be back in April for his annual 2 playoff games before he gets reinjured.

This guy is not made for ny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely see him not wanting to extend and ask for a trade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Legit all season I haven't really seen him relax and genuinely smile/ have a good time on the court... he looks tense all season... bro can't chill and enjoy !!

Mikal seemed a little annoyed, yes. But I disagree that he is like this all season. He is dancing and doing his 3 pointer celebration all year long. OG on the other hand seems miserable a lot imo.

Without Brunson's heroics our record would be the same as the Pacers, Pistons and Bucks sitting sitting right below at 5 games back.

Jalen is awesome, but relying on him to bail us out is not a recipe for success.

Now if that also is a problem, what are they gonna say in OKC?

Maybe they read this idiot board… I think it’s great to have both of them. I love this team and the idea behind the acquisitions.

This feels like such the 1992-93 Knick team. We lose a key piece in free agency and make some wholesale starting lineup changes to fix the holes and build around our superstar towards a successful regular season, but there’s still a team or two out there that seems like an insurmountable challenge. We even have the heavy starter minutes and short rotations too. Ultimately we have to keep believing the front office will tinker with the roster and keep plugging the holes. There’s a Derek Harper move out there somewhere - this season is about continuing to figure out what exactly we are and have.

Board disappointed the KNICKS didn't get a 100 point margin win for the 6,509th time since 1946!!! (that includes those disappointed we didn't win by 101 points or more as well!) 8-)

Oh, the agony! :lol:

I fear Derek Harper may be too old to help. :wink:

Grimes sees Thibs and has flashbacks. He doesn't wanna F up or he will be benched.

Looks like Quentikina only played 21 mins with an empty stat line while Justin Edwards off the bench played 28 minutes. Very happy for Justin. Jerry West is the worst.

It’s why the Knicks his Deuce until they’d made sure other teams wanted Grimes. I’d take Deuce any day over Grimes
