Okay is their a reason for your belief.


Just watching the NBA for a long time. Knicks are going to have a raucous crowd behind them, probably the refs. A good bit of anger after a disappointing start to the season. Etc.

This game feels like one of those "schedule losses" just like the Denver one upcoming.

Might as well play DT

Terry plays better with the ball.

To tell you the truth, the biggest issue is them shooting a crazy percentage from 3. Its not because we don't have Coby or Ayo.

It is not over until it is. The first 5 minutes of the third will help decide it.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

The clear thing to me is, if Dalen Terry cant even get in a game where you have no Coby or Ayo, it's over for him. The fact that Carter got in first over him actually says a lot.

This is because Coby and Ayo do a good job of stressing teams on the other end. There is a reason you want a hot player playing defense. Get them tired and break their rhythm.

I dont think they are playing all that bad...we've had some great defensive possessions. Knicks are shooting the hell out of it tonight.

I'd like to see Matas show up a bit more in the second half.

Also, Giddey, 11, 7 and 9 at half? Yeaaaaaa thats good.

What's the best thing anybody has said about Okoro? He's great? A guaranteed starter? Lock down defender? Or an $11 mill contract forced into a starting position that people are judging thru his first five games? At worst, he's a $5 -6 mill player who's getting 11. Carter's getting $6.7 to do nothing, Terry and Phillips have been getting paid for years to do nothing, Pat is way overpaid, and Okoro is the problem with our contracts?

Give Brunson 2 fts with 2 seconds left when he is dribbling. Great job, Tre.

Single digit game with the Knicks not missing 3s and the refs getting too involved.
Huerter out of the penalty box for the second half should help the bench minutes.

The best thing about Okoro would be an announcement that he has been traded.

Terry, Phillips, Williams, all have looked like busts and got way more chances than Okoro. Guys were complaining about him game 2, lol. Anybody think Billy can't just sit him if he thinks Okoro sucks? He's forced to play him?

I think Mitchell Robinson needs to lose some weight. I think upper body is too big and he has always had lower leg injuries. Even before he was drafted.
