Welcome back Evan

[3ddman23]

Honestly just don't see how we win a game like this with how qe have been playing offensively. The Knicks don't have Robinson( who has killed us before) but hartstein steps right and does the same thing Robinson does.

Unless we make open shoots or sjot better from 3 I just see the same outcome as the last 4-5 losses we have had.

If we get back issac or ingles that would help big time but if not I think its an L unfortunately. Well see Go magic

[DiplomaticMagic]

Imo this is the biggest game of the year and a must win.

Winning games like this is what make us avoid play-in.

Start Goga for the love of God. Wendell isn't ready

Shoot 48% from the Field and 38 from 3.

1/2 Franchero needs to show up

81% free throws

Cole, don't act a fool because you want to show out for your hometown Knicks.

Do this and we should win

[basketballRob]

We'd have a better chance if Wendell didn't play.

IQ vs Cole match up could be fun.
We need to get Hartenstein in foul trouble early and kill it on the boards and in the paint.
Isaac if available should be all over Randle.

[JoshuaPotter]

Where is my "just win" squad at?

JUST WIN!

Important game. Here's hoping that Mosley concedes that starters work better with Goga and eases WCJ back into form playing 10-15 minutes from the bench.

[RichCollab]

I’m 100% supportive with WCJ. He needs to play through this stretch. He needs to play with SL.

This will pay off later. It’s an investment. I have confidence from what he gave us the last two seasons.

[VFX]

Does Goga get more than 10 minutes?

Is Isaac actually questionable or does he actually play?

Do we get Jekyl or Hyde Cole Anthony tonight?

Can Suggs contain Brunson?

I literally thought you were saying Cole vs his own bball IQ. It's interesting because that's actually true for this game

[basketballRob]

Harris has been a good defender this year.

Goga is good enough to be the starting center on a team that won 9 in a row, good enough to be the center to close games, yet isn’t good enough to get more than 12 minutes. Dafuq is Mosley doing?

[cedric76]

No JI, it sucks:-(

[richi_v25]

Did Fultz play in the G league with Jett? Does that mean he could play soon or tonight?

[richi_v25]

No JI, it sucks:-(

Did he just decide to take the holidays off, what's wrong with him?

[VFX]

He's made of Jenga blocks

[basketballRob]

The Knicks should win this with 4 rotational pieces out.
