Means nothing.

I keep focusing on what’s going to destroy them in the playoffs.

One player won’t save an awful defense.

This is a combination of personnel and coaching.


Yet we still have a top 5 record in the league because we are top 4 team in ppg. This is an offense focused team, it’s not the same kind of team we are used to watching for the past several years.


When is the last time a team ranked 20th overall in total opponent FG % and near the bottom of other defensive categories won an NBA championship?

Mike D’Antoni got fired for less and he at least got to a conference finals multiple times in his career.

The playoffs are a different animal. And you won’t be playing a bunch of soft teams like the Hawks or Hornets.

We need to make some more big moves this summer because the coach isn’t going anywhere.


With Mitch and OG back int he fold we wont rank 20th. Heck with just OG we were at like 14th or 15th earlier in the season.

Best record at the ASB in 28 years? Best team this century. End of story.

Imagine going into work tomorrow and your coworkers who are Knick fans are like “yo that was a crazy game. Fun win.” And you’re like “NO, that 3 point defense MADE ME SICK.”

Can’t live like that, man

If nothing else we haven’t had a player who can hit late winning shots. A big who can sink 3s at a high clip. And a winning program that can come back from down 5 in OT after blowing a terrible blow in regulation.

If the Knicks go 5-1, they'll trigger Phil Jackson's infamous 40 20 rule.

If you win 40 games before you lose 20 games, then you're a contender.

I feel like we might go 40-20, but we'll lose 20 games before winning 40.

I am still fuming at him

Maybe seriously he shouldn’t be the head coach during games

He can run practices


You mean that stretch that precious was on the bench while Cam was in?

A few years ago would’ve lost 152-137 in OT.

Terrible terrible coaching job my goodness. What should’ve been a 20 pt blowout with our starters playing less than 35 mins turned into a grind out slug fest with our entire starting 5 playing over 42 mins and our injured ASG starting center playing 47 mins. My god man


Curious, when reading this comment, I’d like to ask do you watch other nba games throughout the season or just the knicks?

He's like the iHart situation, but let's leave it to offseason. :(
Are you fans of the team or the player?

well at least thibs said he should have called and timeout he wasn't emphatic enough to official. I mean ok but that can't happen.

Critics of the regime will be prosecuted for crimes against the state.

Resistance is futile.

The future belongs to the believers.

Everyone not colored orange and blue will be deported.

This is the way.

They’ll beat the Cavs and lose to the Celtics
They’ll be 40-19
