Tough loss. But you felt some energy change with that J Dub slam. Crowd exploded like he hit a game winning 3

You can tell JB and Knicks had no expectation of the double

That’s coaching

Thibs has no desire to predict — lame

He thinks it’s not his job

But guess what it’s his short bench and no plan to help JB that caused them to not call a TO even when we were on a big run

Hero ball. Brunson decided to play 1 on 5. This is where thibs needed to coach! Brunson is not a coach on the floor. He took everybody else out if the game. He thougt it was last yr

Bridges shot too early and we gave up a layup

To start the 4th the offense came out like trash and let OKC go on a run with SGA sitting

That's where the game was lost.

Cam Payne really brought nothing during the time Brunson sat. It's time to put in Kolek if Cam Payne can't run an offense.

1st time I've seen him gun shy. Normally he chucks which is a mixed bag but did he even take a shot?

this team will never ever have a scrub of the night in our favor because they don't even get a chance. OKC has some bum averaging 8 a game put up 22 huge points and 15 in the 4th. must be nice

this coach blows

He is a solid reg season coach...but games like this are similar to the playoffs...when the stakes are high and opponents make adjustments.... thibs falls short.

We gonna blame a lot of people for this loss, but really this game turned after OG took that spill, he stopped attacking hard after that and the energy left the team..

I genuinely wonder what random teams and players do just to get favorable whistles for no reason.

Why don't the Knicks ever get favorable whistles?

Guys like Embiid get the softest whistles in the league while we watch KAT get mauled every night and get no calls.

It's so frustrating to watch the NBA because officials can influence a game a tremendous amount and they're all incompetent and ruin great games by making and missing calls in favor of one team or another.

Missed Deuce, but only if he'd be hot shooting

Brunson is tired but his shot is def off

But that’s coaching too

That was a coach being outdone for sure
