I watched none of this game, but I fucking LOVE that we’re keeping teams under 100pts. This is New York basketball!!!

Orlando starts an 8 game home stand tomorrow with games against Toronto and Charlotte then final 2 games are vs Memphis and Portland. The middle 4 games are against some tough opponents but still gonna be tough for Knicks to stay in 4th going into April.

Mitchell has played past couple of games for Cleveland so they’ll probably start winning more regularly again.

Although the Kings shot 27%! We were 11-38, they were 10-37.

Numbers are similar, quality is not. For most of our threes there was no opposing player in the same zip code. 😂

Btw, Thibs in the press conference just pointed to that Brunson shot only 4 free throws tonight.

It’s clear that OG’s elbow is bothering him on his jump shots.

When is Julius coming back? Mitch? We could have use those dude tonight.

2nd in the East is within reach.

Bojan and Burks finally did something but they didn’t impress me. While I don’t like when Bogdonovic misses a shot, I hate it when he dribbles into traffic and loses the rock.

Rough, you made me look. The team was 29% from three in that game. That’s rough (sorry…).

But we scrapped out a win…

Edit: Although the Kings shot 27%! We were 11-38, they were 10-37.

Both teams played their hearts out and it was a physical game throughout. But the Kings can’t beat us on our game. This f-g Knicks team plays with the heart of a lion. They shut down Sacramento (91 one points!), and Thibs once again worked the matchups masterfully. Had we shot decently from outside, the game wouldn’t have been so close. We missed ton of wide-open threes, a ton, way-way more than the Kings. Divo shot 3-12 and all of them were wide open. Bogey went 1-5. The refs messed up a lot of calls, but it was the Knicks that got the worst of it. Free throw disparity at 26-16 and Brunson, who played like an absolute SUPERSTAR tonight, took only four free throws, one of which was a technical foul. Tremendous win, absolutely tremendous! Wow!

2 games behind the Cavs, who are still dealing with the Mitchell injury. If they somehow can split the next two games, the schedule softens quite a bit after.

Burks and Bogie did not play well in the first half but both came up huge in the 4th. If that is the start of them doing what they came here to do that would be nice.

Win the next one, lose to Denver and then we got 4 very winnable games.

Would really like to know what’s up with Randle and Mitch.

Burks and Bogey shot like shit again but Thibs stuck with them and Bogey at least in the 4th made some huge shots. Can’t complain about Thibs’ minutes allocation tonight!

A healthy iHart plus a somewhat healthy OG makes this a really tough defensive team. Great start to the road trip.
