Gotta talk about our depth. Very scary if any one goes down.

Not in the mood to hear a manifesto on how Thibs ruined Grimes. How we’re not running enough plays for him.

Let it be clear, Grimes lost his starting spot. He has absolutely no feel for the game whatsoever. Most NBA coaches fully expect you to read and react at this level. The problem is Grimes makes decisions before a play ever fully develops. He never dribbles the ball, is afraid of going to the rack and he rushes a large majority of his shots. Has anyone even noticed how much his defense has fallen off. I just don’t want to hear how some other organization is going to unlock 2018 Klay.

I’ll always remember his one legged steal but it’s time we pour one out for him.

Hero ball by JB to eke out the win against the Wizards. He's amazing but it shouldn't have required that... yet a win's a win.

Team obviously needs some bench help, and the starters cant be playing this much.

However, a move is going to be made by the deadline for 1-2 guys, so just chill the hell out and enjoy the Ws for now.

The Knicks were the Wizards for a long time. Bad teams can still win or make it close, and this was a back to back too. Good teams have closers and pull it out in the end.

Lets wait to see what Leon pulls off before you freak. Hes not done.

JB has that "refuse to lose" mentality, absolutely put the team on his back tonight. Just took over.

Good teams can flip the switch whenever they feel like it and I guess that’s why we are 18-0 against sub .500 teams even if it isn’t always pretty the whole game

Our bench depth really needs to be addressed. You can't play Brunson and Randle for 38+ minutes a game. They will be finished when the playoffs start.

Phil Jackson: I like to experiment with different lineups in season for extended periods so every man on the team is able to respond to unique pressure situations in the playoffs.

Dude has got to figure out how to get something from the bench.

Honestly it was a fake hustle by the wiz. The pistons done it plenty of times this season. If anything was sus, it was those 2 loses to Orlando and Mavs.
