And bring back Marv as a third mic special guest for a game. And Al Trautwig.

The theme is so damn good, found a video of the old intro too.. the memories of all those old school Knicks memorabilia and everything







Man why did they get rid of that? That opening always got me so pumped

I wasn’t really pissed. But it did get me a quick response. :lol:

Most of the other neophyte game threaders mess that up. Now I know that you’re one of the cool ones.

Grimes and Mitch aren’t enough to cover up for Brunson and RJs defensive breakdowns. When Randle is actually locked in it mitigates some of the issue. Having said that, Randle hasn’t been contesting shots for the last two weeks. Add that all up and you have a disaster on your hands.

If you can upgrade RJs spot in the SL with someone that can be average defensively with length that would help. The other under the radar issue is that Randles back up (Obi) is atrocious on that end as well. When Randle isn’t focused on D it would be nice to have a backup 4 that could give you 16-18min of excellent defense. The only thing I ask of Jalen is to at least fight around screens and take a couple of charges. That’s the best you’re gonna get.


I pretty much agree with everything your wrote. The one thing that I thought may be in error was Brunson taking charges. I haven't checked the stats, so I could be wrong, but I thought that was the one thing that he did do on the defensive end.

Hope to see some major changes this summer.

it's one of his go-to's, but it's a gambit. the plays that aren't called offensive fouls become blocking fouls on him, often in the act of shooting

Our pick n roll defense is worse than Randle handles

And having RJ instead of Hart in the SL wont help the cause! Eithe Hart, Anunoby or Brown should be our starting SF next season

The Knicks had games in hand over most of the teams after the allstar break so it makes sense there would be some longer breaks in their schedule at the end of it plus with Brunson banged up they are a much needed chance for him to heal while not missing as many games.

If the Knicks lose this one it's going to get ugly and Thibs seat might start getting hot again no matter how much the Knicks have overachieved this season. It would look like he's losing control of the team and if Randle continues his meltdown streak it will add to that perception.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Really looking for Randle to get back on track, at the very least mentally. This is probably the best situation for him: lots of rest, cupcake team, road game.

my take on randle is not that he wants all eyes on him, but that he can't handle when they are. when the covid season turned into packed playoff arenas, and now with brunson not taking the primary responsibility off his shoulders. he doesn't want the win or loss coming down to him, and so when the team's losing, he looks to place the blame elsewhere (no-calls, etc) to ventilate that pressure

brunson is great, and clearly our main core piece moving forward, but this team ain't doing **** this year without randle going randlemode. how do we reactivate?

We reactivate by getting Brunson healthy and back on the floor ASAP. Unfortunately no one seems to have a timeline or any details toward when that will happen.
