No excuse. They’ve had 4 days of rest. They’re missing most of their shots badly.

If this is how they’re going to come out on another prime time game, why bother calling yourself a contender.

When a game is being coached with playoff-like seriousness, Knicks will look overmatched every time..even if the other team is less talented.

Sometimes Payne seems like a Lou Williams sixth man scorer. But not enough

I would legit put in Deleon Wright see if he has a msg spark. We need size on defense we look like midgets without OG.

This is the most frustrating 34-17 ever.

They either look unstoppable or look like they’re in preseason form.

why does this surprise you...teams that don't shoot the 3 ball in high volume we usually match up well.

in this case it more our offense and starting Hart with Precious...it is just really poor spacing.

If Celtics had our roster they wouldn’t have 10 losses yet.

JB has terrible stretches where he doesn't know how to get his guys on track offensively.

You need a great floor general to be the coach on the floor when you are pitting an outclassed Thibs against a tough matchup like this.

I really want to see Kolek subbing in for Brunson, not Payne

Cam Payne taking shots instead of Kat is why Celtics way better. He should be touching the ball.
