I love our broadcast team, but man, I'm glad that 25 year anni has been wrapped. Im ready to move on.
that second q was like summer league with the Bradley convo, and the game on as background filler.

Msg just showed Jalen walking to the locker room and he didn’t slam a chair. It’s possible that they cut away before that happened but I’m thinking that twitter account lied for engagement.

We have good guard depth so next man up

Donte continues making his case that he’s our starter and he’s not going back to the bench, Murray or no Murray

I feel like Murray fits the bench more anyways, he can be the ball handler, try to score, etc. He's not great off-ball which is why he doesn't like playing next to Trae (allegedly).

So I think is Murray is willing to be the super 6th man he would excel.

At the very least Thibs would need to start him but stagger his minutes without Brunson/Randle so he can play this role as primary ball handler.

4 games before the break. No need to panic. No Murray.

We should’ve maintained the big lead and kept Brunson on the bench because playing against scrambling bums leads to injuries. Having said that, I think Brunson will be fine. Relax

Brunson is fine. It’s likely just day to day. He may not play against the Mavs, but I think he’ll be fine.

No one was helping him and he didn’t even have a limp.

Should make a depth trade even if Jalen is ok. Get him more rest

Just rest Brunson till the all star break. We gonna lose some momentum in the standings but it's better than losing him for the playoffs.

A well rested Brunson, Randle and OG will wreck havoc in the postseason.

This has given guys like Precious, Divo and Hartenstein a massive confidence boost to be better players out there.

Divo learning to be even better at scoring now that we NEED him to score to win basically with him and Brunson. iHart def showing his abilities to help us win night in, night out since Mitch went down, and now even Precious becoming more comfortable out there, scoring a little bit, and showing us he can be a really good defender in his own right, probably the 3rd or 4th best defender on the team now behind Mitch, iHart, OG and maybe Hart/Deuce?


As long as we keep winning pretty much every game, yeah easy to say it’s a good thing. But hopefully people start coming back when the all-star break is over

Well thats kinda my point, I guess I forgot to mention, but my point was that it helps the Knicks in the long run because now they have these guys with boosted confidence and they'll be back to coming off the bench, and hopefully we can still expect similar production. Having this level of Divo with Randle, Brunson, OG and Mitch/iHart will be amazing, when Brunson and Randle struggle to score, now we know we can go to Divo a little more, etc.

Same with Precious, if Randle is having an off night or playing bad D, send Precious out there for a few mins, he looks so much more comfortable than the first few games here now that he's getting a lot more mins.

Just have to hope that their confidence stays high and ability to play at a similar level is possible.


Ive made the point you’re making before. It’s great how Donte has stepped up, and he closed this one out without Jalen, Julius, or OG. How anyone could want to bench the guy for Dejounte still amazes me. Isaiah has obviously been great in Mitch’s absence, Deuce has arrived after the trade, and even Precious looks like a new man after Julius went down.

The problem is Thibs is the one injuring most of our damn players lol. The starters were gassed tonight which is why they let up on the lead, and then they had to play the whole 2nd half basically because the game got close. Thibs refuses to stagger and mix in the bench guys throughout the game. It’s incredible how this is still going on. Jalen better be okay.

Walk away with a very slight limp, he was able to put his weight on it ...I think he's good.
