Great Christmas game, nice win.

Wemby is him.

Mikal was awesome. His game is so smooth, really pleasant to watch when he's engaged like he's been over the past month.

S/o to my guy Josh Hart for all those rebounds at the end. My favorite Knick.

Great Win that took a year opr two off my life. It really looked like they could do whatever they wanted with Wemby on the floor. Great day for Mikal to blow up, happy for him. LFG!!! Merry Xmas Peeps!

BTW that OG 3 was HUGE for momentum...gutsy win. You love these type of wins with Kat and JB not playing great.

Merry Christmas all. Not our best game offensively and we pulled it out.

So is it possibly that Thibs didn't want OG on Wemby the whole game then he wouldn't be in foul trouble and be able to aggressively guard him in crunch time? No, I suppose nobodies on the forum were right that he's a dummy and the refs certainly wouldn't be able to foul saddle OG by crunch the way they had KAT on the bench so much with the whistle.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

And putting him back is the decision of a foolish coach

I don’t have a problem with KAT but we are gonna see dumb fouls and stuff forever -- as long as we are clear about that

Merry Christmas

Is there a coach in the league that wouldn't put brunson back in though? It's not like deuce was lighting it up - though that stretch that got us back in the game was a lot about the defense and bridges going off.

That is the challenge with this team at times... Brunson and Kat can be exploited on defense so if they're off on the other end it's a pretty big negative.

I agree though I thought we were very fortunate that there were no stoppages in play. Spurs prob should have called timeout. Brunson was at the scorers table for awhile while we went on the run. He comes in earlier and we probably lose.

The Knicks look like they got the Aura this year. The team is gelling more and more. Pulling out these close wins is huge. I have seen multiple games now where a star comes up short but another Knick steps up. That's the mark on a great team. Next man up mentality. Great stuff! Mikal is vindicated!

Mikal is crazy good at picking his spots and just rising up. But yeah, Josh was everywhere.

I feel like today’s game was a learning experience for the whole team and we got away with the win. Rare that to happen for us Knicks fans!

Wanna give Josh Hart some love too. Those offensive rebounds on the final possessions and his overall hustle were so key.

We won this game like a last year game with Mikal taking on the brunson role. Only 5 turnovers and 17 offensive rebounds is how we were able to survive Wemby game and sochan playing out of his ass.
