Knicks have been playing 8-5 whole game. This is Lakers Kings level cringeworthy refereeing

Refs call are always subjective unless its blatant. I see the flop foul bait etc of knicks...But the flop/foul-baiting of guys like brunson sga embiid harden sengun etc are not.

This is the worst defensive lineup the Knicks could possibly put on the floor. It is BRUTAL.

Weak. Down 12 with 2:30 left Mike Brown throws in the white flag and pulls out his starters. 12 is nothing with 150 seconds left to play.

That is a tough loss for the Knicks but the Knicks shot and played much better in the rematch this time! Good game Knick fans!

Hell of a game by Wagner, Bane, and Suggs and a great team effort! 2-0 against the Knicks! Go Magic!

Brunson is out there putting on an Oscar-worthy preformance, like always, and you accuse the Magic of flopping? :lol:

Magic rounding into form. Dangerous team.

Much like the upcoming re-integration of Ivey in Detroit, when Paolo gets back they’re going to have to find a way to make it work.

I agree with you and it is going to be interesting when Paolo gets back to see if there will be changes surrounding Paolo

Magic still need to make a move to land a PG, and I have zero faith in the Knicks. Part of it is my bias as a Pistons fan, but the other is not seeing Thibs on the sideline. Say whatever you want about him, he got that Knicks team to play HARD, and they don't look the same.

Long season, so we'll find out. Just an early observation.
Suggs has been playing PG.

Magic are back to being watchable without Italian Knicks Julius Randle. Shocker.

The Knicks started the flopping, and the Magic joined in.
