Also, Precious was truly fantastic in the second half

Those two gave us the win

It's hard to believe, but Wemby actually is a Kareem upgrade. If he stays healthy he'll be one of the greatest players in the history of the game.

Now we don’t have to refer back to his Brooklyn Nets highlights to ascertain what might be possible :lol:

Catch your breath Wemby. But we agree with you that Brunson played poorly lol

Him scoring the first 7 points was a good sign to a big game from him. I enjoy watching his midrange game cause he creates separation ala Allan Houston back on his prime days with the Knicks.

We need to end the year on a good winning streak.

Guys actually believe it was Thibs strategy for KAT to pick up his 5th foul with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter and the Knicks down 5 points and in danger of losing ...so he can sub KAT out and finally put the league's best defender on Wemby to contest just 2 of his 31 total shots... winning in a late game comeback with Mikal turning into prime Jordan??? That was the plan? :crazy:

Thibs is a solid coach but folks go a little bit overboard in their efforts to deny acknowledging areas he can improve on. :lol:

We used to be frustrated trying to find our players on that list. Now, we have 2!

2? no...3!

We use to wish for passing and efficient teams. This is insane. Leon got something up his sleeve for another wing or guard I’m sure. I saw Alexander Walker is up there in deflections on a list with OG. Maybe we give him a look. Wolves probably won’t give him up. Caruso signed a deal. I’m tryna win a chip. OG and precious **** him down. Some great contest. Sore loser couldn’t give us credit post game how we out worked them.

I give him credit for going to that lineup when we couldn’t get a stop with Brunson and Kat. However he waited till that moment to put OG on wemby when I saw a guy kn KFTV say teams had success putting wings on Wemby.

He won the game is what he did. He was a brave Knicks head coach and in this house Tom Thibodeau is a hero end of story

Stop underestimating Thibs greatness. He also waited until late in the game during the playoffs last year to use OG on Embiid and trap him at just the right moment in game 4 against the Sixers. It just happened to be with Mitch injured and iHart in foul trouble. You refuse to see the vision.

I’m looking forward to seeing them again. It’ll be a good test for us to gauge our improvement.

And it was a great game to watch. I thought for sure that we were going to lose it. I was having that vibe all game until we pulled it out.

I didnt think "for sure" they were going to lose it but I must admit when the Spurs had their last lead -the thought crossed my mind...
"dam, are we going to lose this?" wemby said prior to the game "hope it would be a movie" and I dont want to hear all of the Knick hate if we lost...
Ecstatic ikal and the Knicks came through!

How Wemby a shotblocker who challenges everything and only had 1 foul the whole game? Meanwhile KAT got called for some light contact and got into foul trouble from the 1st quarter.

He's already getting the LeBron treatment from the refs. He'd body a Knick and it's a no call, a Knick looks at him and it's a foul.

The league really tried to use the Knicks and it being a Christmas game at MSG to facilitate Wemby's rapid rise to superstardom. Really glad we got the win and Wemby got shut down in the 4th.

KAT gets one of the worst whistles in the league.

The late game defensive adjustment is so deft a move there are still people who cannot even see it though they claim to have watched the game.

He's tied for 6th in Knicks coaching history for winning % with legendary Red Holzman, he's 5th in playoff appearances for the Knicks with 3 after 4 seasons and only 1 behind Riley.

He's 5th in total wins in Knicks coaching history getting 200 once the Knicks get to 26 wins on the season and with 50 wins for the season he passes Riley to be 4th in total wins.

Reviving a floundering Knicks franchise when so many others failed for the better part of two decades, he has squeezed career years out of countless players and turns losing players into valued trade pieces.

Some Knicks fans do not even deserve his tireless effort, his dedication to the team, to winning and his love for the Knicks franchise as they criticize him from their head couching positions.

:rofl2:
