Awful but not too surprising if we are being honest

Barely beating Raps, other tough games and bad outings

Chemistry def an issue but also defense … and then the desperate minutes by what appears to be a panicky coach with one gear

So, we can’t be too shocked if we are being truthful

We needed the rest anyways lol, but man does the NBA have a dictating the game problem from the their officials. I’m totally fine with a loose whistle, but if you gonna do that don’t let it be one sided, completely change the complexion of the game.

Mikal/OG went 2 for 14 from three. JB had one of the worst games of the season. KAT couldn't defend anything. He probably had at least 5 alleys on his head in the second half alone.

Blessing in disguise. Guys get to rest up now.

KATs defense was not bad and not the issue

thankfully leon doesn't seem like the kinda guy to let a friend ruin his legacy.

100%. Hartenstein took OKC from playoff bound to finals bound. He's that good.

Honestly I blame this game on Brunson ….if you’re being smothered all game work to open passing angles

bad gameplan

our captain came with nothing tonight.

The weird contingent of posters that absolve Thibs from any type of blame is crazy. They watched us score 100pts against a bad defense, all while not targeting Trae, and rush to defend him as though there's nothing we could do.

seriously...you beat the hawks by making trae young guard every possession.

And then running a drop vs trae young is wild....you leave Dyson Daniels open and make him beat you.

Hartenstein and Divicenzo were big losses for the toughness and rebounding of this team.

Brunson been pissing me off all season if I'm being honest.

I told ya’ll not to get your hopes up with this team this season. We’re nowhere close to BOS and OKC. Changes are needed and chemistry needs to be built.

Lot of knee-jerk overreactions here. But the reality is the Knicks don’t have the size off the bench or the rim protection to win consistently to meet the expectations.

We are one piece away and that piece is already on the roster. Mitchell Robinson needs to get healthy. And with all this time they’ve giving him, once he’s back there better be no more injuries. Cuz if he gets hurt again, at that point you gotta move on and trade him for the best shotblocking big you can get.

I know what Mitch can bring to this team, but he's never healthy. Time for him to be traded to get more depth. That's just 15 mil going to waste.

We could have paid him more and longer but we wasted too much money on the crippled Fortnite player 11 days before we signed Hartenstein in the 2022 offseason thanks Leon

nope, i don't want to wait. We go through this every year with him. Rather trade him now.
