Can't win on nights when your two top scorers go 6-30...
The Minnesota loss was an embarrassment. This was a headache to watch.

That would never happen. Think about how the Knicks played for wins with Jeff Hornacek as the coach...and Mike Miller as the interim. Thibs plays his starters for 40 minutes for a reason. He will never coach to lose.

Can’t blame Thibs for tonight when Randle, RJ, IQ, Rose all stink it up
Randle is leading the league in Minutes Played, and it shows. Thibs is a maniac, and part of his insanity (albeit genius) is to elevate Randle to All-Star. The downside and very valid critique is that Randle is visibly tired, Thibs doesn't give a F*ck, and ain't gonna do sh*t to develop a bench. He's just gonna keep trotting out Randle 42 mpg even on back-to-backs with the game out of hand in the 4th.

Re: Knicks Mavs PG: The friends along the way
Randle + RJ + Thibs blew this game for us. Knicks choked. Media won't grill the Knicks on choking though.

Ever since I started tanking the team has taken a nose dive. Capn'O blessing.

Jack Harlow track I can do without.
I like the jack harlow one cause it sounds like a throw back RNB song. And that’s because of static major. Rip
I didn't see it from that perspective, I'll give it a few more listens. Didn't mean to be dismissive of Static.
After you listen to it again you’re gonna be like

Static gives you that early 2000 vibes. Wish they still made songs like that

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

It’s too late. Look at some of the teams behind the Knicks... this play in thing is absolutely stupid I must add.. the NBA is a league where more than half the teams already made the playoffs as it was.. the play in is unnecessary
it's too late to crack into the top 7, but not too late to get into the 8-11 range
rn, 538 projects the team to finish w/ the 9th worst record (w/ only 1 game separating them from 14). the difference between lottery odds for 9 and 14 is pretty significant: 20.2% (top 4) vs. 2.4%
20.2% isn't a great chance, but it's still a chance at a potential franchise-changing talent. 2.4% is no chance at all

Expect the worst outcome. We will be in the play in while other teams know what direction they going in. We still stuck in the middle like the Knicks always do. Rebuild trash....
we will become the new magic

Re: Knicks Mavs PG: The friends along the way
Nobody wants to talk about it but IQ hunting for BS foul calls instead of trying to make a fcking shot is btch-made and he's getting exposed. Thibs letting him continue to play instead of pulling him off the floor is enabling that garbage habit. Refs aren't gonna give him that call.

Well the way Thibs is working him, there's probably a >20.2% chance that Julius Randle suffers a season ending injury soon.

This is what happens when your second best player is a sophomore and your third best player is injured.

Alright I played it a few times and really paid attention to it this time.
It's a great song.
I think I was stuck on the vibe of the first track you posted and reluctant to switch to another type of mood like that.
Great song.
It kinda reminds of me of that The Game song with Raheem DeVaughn for some reason.

Playing the sh*t out of veteran rentals in a desperate delusional hope to make the Playoffs, while A) saying F*ck it to draft position in a loaded draft; and B) not giving a single F about your recently drafted low lotto picks.
Same story, just more "successful."
Next phase: Missing the Playoffs and Leon feeling intense pressure to trade for a "superstar" since we certainly won't be drafting one or signing one in FA.
been saying this all year, we've had a hot starts before
2016/17: started 16-13
2017/18: started 17-14
granted this year we're a bit more successful but at the end of the day, talent is what wins in the NBA and we knew this was a talent deficient team

Honestly there's a noticeable difference in D. That was the same lousy D you saw for years. Fatigue - Mitch = easy shots.
