PG: We survived 4-1

[thebuzzardman]

Missed the entire thing; brother called me with the result minute ago. When he called, I hadn't even box score watched yet. Just a lot going on some days.

I'll read here for the juicy bits.

Hope everything is alright my man.

Thanks for checking. It's all good. Just stuff in the flow of life where stuff just gets busy for awhile.

[thebuzzardman]

I'm lot more rational when I don't watch the game.

If I watched this, I'd be tearing every Knick the proverbial new assh*le.

And he’s exhibiting toughness, resilience and discipline. Mitch is a very important piece.

Just get my man some high tops for the love of GOD.

Hope all is well.

kemba has been great these past 2 games. it feels different having a starting point guard who can create his own shot and hit 3's. hopefully this isn't a fluke and keeps this up

[HarthorneWingo]

Free him!!

His time will come soon enough. Thibs still giving IQ respect

[NewEra]

Free him!!

And lock him up!!

Listen... that game had my heart pumping like the Celtics game did. Would have preferred to put them away more convincingly, but still a great win that puts the Knicks at the top of the conference, with a lot of other positives to take away, including an impressive showing from RJ capped off by a clutch defensive stop at the end. Mitch was incredible again. Kemba solid again. Obi was impactful again. And actually, I love the way Randle facilitated most of the game with all the double teams they threw at him. He also made some clutch baskets in the 4th that are being overlooked right now.

I think some of you are being too hard on the team as usual. We're only 5 games into this. A lot of people keep repeating the same line- "this won't work in the playoffs". Well, luckily it's still October, and this is why they play the games, watch the film, and try to correct some of this stuff in practice throughout the year.

The Knicks will work on this. Randle will continue to improve as a player and a leader for this team. I'm just so grateful for all of the good things we have, including our coach. Again... awesome win IMO. Ya gotta love going into the UC and handing the Bulls their first loss. Eat sh*t, Barkley.

[Little Italia]

I'm worried about Randall's mental toughness. His horrendous playoff performance and him missing big shots at the end is something that needs to be addressed.

[X-Man Cometh]

The sad thing is that it wasn't just the 4th quarter. The ending of the 3rd was just as atrocious.

Well, no OTs. That's progress.

[Deeeez Knicks]

Thibs is sugar coating it but our end of game offense is brutal. That is a glaring weakness.

Seems like we just try to kill the clock out and go into last second isos.

[KnixinSix]

As frustrating as this win was, it shows how well we can play while being nowhere near our ceiling.

That's encouraging for a team that still has an eye on making a big move.

The reason we almost fell apart at the end is we went into play not to lose strategy and drain the clock with way too much time left. All rythym and passing went out the window. Ugly. Thats on Thibs to correct.

[HerSports85]

I now see why Thibs said we are far from being a 48 min team a few games ago

No positivey we don't want Kemba to revert!

[WajaBawl]

We need to have that talk about IQ.

[NYKnickerbocker]

Mitch gotta stop with the Jesus routine man lol. Don’t know how many more resurrections I can take. It’s tough watching him go down

[Guano]

We won that with two of our best offensive pieces misfiring

And we gave them the last 3 mins to catch up and they still failed.

yo nba tv is down bad. they had jim boylen doing the post game

I saw that - said foh then immediately killed my stream. Rather read comments here in peace.

[FreeSpiritNY]

Glad we got the win, but we really need to adjust our offense in the last 5 minutes of the game. What we're doing isn't working.

Dame is going to suck the life out of the team because POR is going to want everything in return.

I'd love to have him, but he's too rich for us to get.

How would our offense change we are milk the clock team at the end of games. Or Randle would call for the ball.


Also he has the worst ranked defense in the league of all point guards. That’s bad real bad. He makes Quickley and Kemba look like Gary Paton

[blueNorange]

gonna read the bulls.hit forum and eat their tears.

[F N 11]

Three of our biggest issues:

1. Iso Randle down the stretch

2. Closing out the game

3. Our closing lineup and Burks should not be in it. WTH is it with Thibs and this love affair.

New Payton unfortunately. “I love his size and versatility”
