We have an emotionally immature bunch here.

Having said that, Boggy and Burks played well for their first game.
Taj has nothing left, and that’s the key to the loss. Sims had a chance at minutes, but couldn’t gut it out. Disappointing.
I’m surprised McBride couldn’t guard McConnell.
Brunson was incredible as usual.
Hopefully we’ll get IHart and Sims back by Monday.

2 games before the all-star break guys. Hold it together.

Are you really missing the point here?

Apparently, Hali was playing at the end as well? Or is this about the last seconds?

abso-fuking-lutely yes

y’all trolling at this point

Nah, it's not like we don't have history of his teams to look at, or guys that played for him, Luol Deng was basically broken down and washed up by 30. Do not for a second forget that Mitch got hurt in the first half of his last game, and they had him playing in the 2nd half on a fractured ankle.

When the entire frontcourt is hurt, and the guy who fills in for them plays 43 minutes, the coach isn't being mindful of injury prevention. It's been the case with him his whole career.

We shouldn't have won obviously and Deuce should have played the whole 4th.

Forgot the green font? We were basically running 5 deep out there. Taj doesn't count, he's just a body taking up space temporarily. Boggy and Burks are brand new and don't even know any of the sets yet. This team will be fine post all star break.

i doubt we can catch cleveland for 2nd with all these injuries. gotta just play well enough for the next month to stay in front of philly and the bucks.

We have two PG threads still this is wild

What a time to be alive

Burks dribbles and dribbles — you want pass, shoot, quick decisions, not pounding the ball. Even JB doesn’t do that.

Deuce diminished.

But we probably lose this one anyway. But when Burks did his thing, we lost momentum. He may take oxygen from DD too.

But nothing we can do about it. Deuce won’t be playing in the playoffs. Like it or not, Burks is gonna play. That’s locked in now.

Bog looked pretty good.

Correct, the lashing out at the coach for Brunson having 37 minutes is a bit crazy. They were calling for him to be benched with 12 minutes left in the game. Coaches and players don't give up on a game under 20 with that much time left.

Well, thankfully the Bucks have the 5th toughest remaining schedule, we have the 13th and the Cavs have the 14th. Ideally stay at 3, matchup with the Pacers in round 1, then get the Cavs in round 2.

We lost this game on defense not offense. Yet the realization is every single one of our best defenders were out injured.

I’m not getting low and negative unless we lose games in demoralizing fashion once our team is whole.

But one thing is for certain, I’d love to play this Pacers team in the playoffs when the games matter and our defenders are back.

I wanna stomp the smile off Haliburton’s face… and then offer Siakam a toothbrush so he can use it on them yellow ass uniform matching giggling teeth, with great pace.

I figure the Knicks play .333 ball until OG and Randle return, which unfortunately is probably at least 6 weeks from now.

Let's see how many games that is.
16 or 17 games. So that's 5-12

After that they'll have 11 games to integrate everyone before the playoffs.

43 wins. 7th seed. Maybe they'll draw a good 1st round matchup.

Knicks goal now is to avoid the play in.

The lack of oxygen is him playing 40, 43, 40, 38, 39, 38, 42 min over his last 7 games - many times playing 15 consecutive. In theory Burks should help. We shall see.
