Honestly the Knicks need to calm down. They're treating this like a playoff game and playing way too hard. I know for a fact that the Knicks don't try this hard every night or they'd be in the playoff race for sure. Save some energy for the other teams on your schedule. We're not even a super team without Durant so who cares if you win. There's no bragging rights there

The warriors still have Curry, Green, and Thompson. It's not like they aren't an elite team without Durant so it's still a big game for the knicks.

Not very very open really. Knicks are 5 games behind 8th seed Pistons with about 20 games remaining. They need to play above .500 while hoping the Pistons drops 15 of their next 20 and having the Heat in the mix.

That probably the end result, but a win like this could go long way for them..

We signed him shortly after the draft ended on draft night, went undrafted out of Witchita State. Plays hard and smart

Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Calm your tits down bro. Dubs obviously in bad stretch, but they have won the west past 2 years. They playoffs havent started, warriors havent drop in standings yet. Hang tight, ull have your chances..


Who have they really played those two years?? Curry has came back to earth this team is clearly weaker then the last couple of years without KD..

LOL way to pass judgement after a couple of games, give them a minute to figure it out man.

Not the Spurs, because they couldn't help but choke the last couple of years.

Bitter Spurs fan is bitter.

And the Warriors are worse without KD compared to the last couple of years because they have worse depth...it's not really rocket science, they sacrificed depth to add a top-tier talent, and that top-tier talent is now injured, of course they're gonna be worse.

But they've also only had like 3 games without KD, I expect them to get a lot better the more they get used to it.
