Re: PG: Knicks/Hawks
Great dominant win, Towns did his thing 30 and 11, I missed the first quarter sadly
49th win and magic number for 3rd down to 2. Brunson coming back soon maybe tomorrow for win 50. Immaculate vibes

Re: PG: Knicks/Hawks
kind of a buzzkill of a finish not winning by 20+ after being up 30+ most of the 2nd half.
hawks aren't good but knicks looked very sharp. the days off and practice certainly helped.
almost makes you wonder should the starters play less so we can practice more? would make sense to me but what do i know.

Re: PG: Knicks/Hawks
Thibs lack of confidence in his bench has us all thinking our bench sucks. The only thing that sucks is Thibs and his mindless substitution patterns.
Anyway good game. Always nice to humiliate Trae and the Hawks. But we pretty much guaranteed to lose tomorrow cuz Thibs overplayed the starters again.

Great games by KAT, OG, Mikal, Josh

Some pics I took while I watched the game in VR on my Quest 3. The XStadium app only does a few Knicks games like this a season. Really cool experience and it felt like being courtside. The pics don't do it justice. It's very immersive and much more in your face then what's depicted here. The players are life size when you're watching the game. Great win!

Re: PG: Knicks/Hawks
Scintillating first half, hard to fault the boys.
Now that Brunson is almost back, I think we can say that his absence will be a good for us in the long run.
Pedestrian second half but understandable. As most have said, would have been good for a bit more bench play given the game tomorrow

Brunson has to integrate into what we've been trying to do and save iso-ball for the last possession or two. Keep feeding OG, KAT and Mikal. Keep the defensive intensity high. Don't ever play drop coverage again.

Phoenix isn't very good, but it could go either way.

Amazingly for how accurately we were hitting those threes, we ended up with only 29 attempts. Felt like we were throwing up a ton in the third, but we just stopped shooting from outside in the 4th.

They’re pretty much mailing it in and tanking and KD is cooked and done

Absolutely. Let’s hope that’s what transpires.
Meanwhile, Delon looks like he belongs

Clamped Trae.

Two of the bench guys that Thibs has confidence in were out (Deuce McBride and Mitchell Robinson)
The other four bench guys all got between 21 to 31 minutes tonight: Cameron Payne, Precious Achiuwa, Delon Wright, Landry Shamet
He kept Hart, Bridges, and Towns below 33 minutes tonight
OG played below 35 minutes
I actually think that's pretty impressive for Thibs

The funniest thing is they're not tanking, they're just awful. The Rockets get their pick this year too.

The center court VR camera was directly next to Thibs. It was actually amusing watching him a few feet away from me throwing his arms up every 30 seconds having a meltdown over everything. He looked pissed the entire game.
