Slow but steady… not a pretty game tho.
The Charlotte announcers just showed two replays of two Charlotte scores and talked about how Towns was out of position and ineffective defensively . They were right.
I was just called up from Westchester Knickerblogger due to shortage of posters for this game. Go Knicks!! Fill those big shoes Precious
Love Clyde talking about the “Dun-chick” trade…
Precious should be fined and imprisoned for that fast break.
It’s scary that Shamet has looked a lot better lately and is still terrible.
Phew…the stench from last night is lingering….unwatchable
Precious has also gone from nice energy piece to nearly unplayable.
Precious has been horrible.
Nineteen points in the quarter. It’s like they’re playing underwater. No energy, no movement.
They look like they don’t want to play. No energy, no smile, no joy. Is it because of last night or is there something else going on?
Would it hurt to try Delon or MarJon instead of Landry. Either could not be more ineffective on both ends
This team is just so thin. If one guy is out, the bench totally craters. We still need some more legit NBA players.
I miss Huk.
They don’t look good for sure

This is Thibs.
The Charlotte announcer just complimented Diabate by saying he was tougher than a day old French baguette. I liked that.
This team is just so thin. If one guy is out, the bench totally craters
It doesn’t help that the 15th spot is being used on a coach and the coach never tries anybody deep on his bench
Should we start a Go Fund Me to send OG to Chip Engellend’s bunny school?
This is not a particularly high basketball IQ team. It’s tough to watch. The St. John’s game can’t come fast enough.
Please please PLEASE get Precious out of there.
Precious is a vet so he can stay in as long as he wants.
We really miss Hukporti.
I’d say we could easily win this game but we might not score 60…
We’re becoming one of the most unwatchable teams in the NBA
This Kansas/Arkansas game is a good watch. Add in the two legendary coaches .
We really miss Hukporti.
I mean they could call up Moses Brown, but they passed.
This coach repeatedly puts out bad spacing lineups. Of course it won’t be a good watch.
DaQuan Jeffries, Knicks Killer.
We give guys like Doncic and Tatum a lot of shit for being whiners, but KAT is pretty bad himself
We turned into the Washington generals
Thibs needs to challenge some dudes’ manhood at halftime
Deuce not even looking to shoot. Had a wide open lane and tossed it to the corner.
Thibs needs to challenge some dudes’ manhood at halftime
Yep! They can’t allow to be embarrassed like this.
These dudes have zero interest in playing
The coach needs to sit them and use what’s on his bench . Running your players into the ground isn’t the answer
Well, the Hornets have been playing pretty well lately.
Oh wait, they lost to the Clippers by 45 and to the Hawks by 30
A good coach would read them the riot act at halftime and if they don’t play well in the first 6 minutes totally empty the bench. The bench might suck, but they will play like they care. The starters may be tired, but they are also playing like they don’t give a shit.
McBride and Payne have 0 points combined and aren’t really running the offense
You would think the coach would give another guy a chance…
Here i am. This is a good plan, i skip the 1st half when we usually are asleep and hopefully they’ll play better in the 2nd half. 😉
Well, if we lose like yesterday, at least we have Clyde. 🙂
My fear with this team all year long was that they’d wear down from all the minutes and fade down the stretch.
Obviously we don’t have Jalen Brunson but this team looks awful, like they have checked out mentally. The starters will probably play 40+ minutes on the second game of a back to back and lose to one of the worst teams in the league.
I’ll start getting invested again when the coach gets fired.
Nice no look pass from LaMelo. Keep it up, my man. 😀
The scheduling is wack but the hornets suck
Deuce bringing energy. Will it be enough?
They woke up offensively, but they have to play defense, too.
The foul season is open for the Hornets! 😀
If OG ever learned to finish through contact he’d be dangerous. 😫
It’s not good when Miles Bridges is the best player on the court
They woke up offensively, but they have to play defense, too.
Nope, no defense.
Seriously no defense.
I keep thinking NOW they’re going on a run. No, NOW they’re going on a run. No…
KAT is right, the refs don’t respect him at all, seems like nothing is a foul when he drives.
none of this is that surprising…not expecting to win this game…so much for us grinding out meaningless games…
The strategy to leave guys open doesn’t seem very effective.
Tommy Beer
@TommyBeer
8-man rotation on the second night of a back-to-back during a stretch in which the team has taken 11 flights in 15 days…
Can’t figure out why the Knicks look completely exhausted?? 🤔🤔
No idea why that may be. Prob just the players being lazy
The coach deserves this
Asinine foul by Hart.
Oh good, down by 14, let’s bring in Precious, he’ll fix it.
Maybe my plan to skip the 1st half needs to be perfected, and i should skip the whole game. 😛 😀
Oh good, down by 14, let’s bring in Precious, he’ll fix it.
Thibs tried everything. If they don’t have it, they don’t have it. Who knows why.
It’s mind-boggling how bad a defender Hart can be sometimes. How a high IQ player can be so foolish.
Ok our bench is catching up to their bench it’s only 32-5 now.
Nah fuck this shit..
Something else has to be goin on. No way we have 2 games in a row where we’re practically not in it most of the game. And against teams that we have more coaching experience and better players than. No fuckin way
Precious missed two point blank layups !?
The bench which consist of
Precious- 0 offense
Payne- hit or miss
Shamet- fringe rotation player
TJ Warren can’t be worse..
It’s mind-boggling how bad a defender Hart can be sometimes. How a high IQ player can be so foolish.
I overrated his defense.
Freakin DaQuan Jeffries has 13 points. Hadn’t scored that many points in his entire Knicks tenure
Yup..Tv off
Our bench is so thin that when we have 2 guys out we literally have no bench.

The entire bench doesn’t get used so it’s hard to know what the team has
On the bright side, I do think we have a 50-50 chance to beat the Wizards on Saturday.
The team reporters should ask Thibs post game how much having PJ is helping this team..
The entire bench doesn’t get used so it’s hard to know what the team has
I understand your comment, but Payne, Shamet and Precious are in the rotation and they’re not very good.
Yeah, Thibs should be more flexible and try other guys. His management of this team is just bad.
This looked like a copy of last night’s game. Time after time, three Knicks in the paint watching an opposing player slice through unimpeded for the layup; time after time, three Knicks in the paint watching opposing players pass the ball to each other unimpeded and scoring; time after time, missed assignments leading to open shot after open shot from mid and long distance. The list goes on and on.
After several games of improved defense, now this? What an embarrassment!
We have to hope everybody is healthy for the playoffs.
Maybe the plan is to get the coach to Re-sign
35+ minutes for all the starters other than Deuce on the second losing game of a back to back. Result was a 17 point loss to a terrible team in a game where the Knicks got boatraced the entire time.
I’ve seen enough of this particular show.
I think the lack of Brunson’s leadership is clearly felt on the floor. Not just his scoring. It seems like they don’t have someone to settle the team down, to make them believe. Unless there is something else going on we don’t know about.
35+ minutes for all the starters other than Deuce on the second losing game of a back to back
I’m a gambler. I’m used to being wrong, but I hate being so wrong I have to completely reverse my position. There’s something wrong with this guy and he has to go. I still don’t think it’s going to happen until next year at the earliest. If they lose early in the playoffs and then get off to bad start next year, maybe Leon will see the light. But either way he has to go.
Macri killing Thibs is his postgame
Normally I’d cut them some slack. Second night of back to back, no Brunson or Mitch, lot of recent travel.
But the Hornets are putrid and have been getting their asses kicked on a regular basis. And they started Daquan freaking Jeffries.
No excuse for that complete lack of effort, none.
I understand your comment, but Payne, Shamet and Precious are in the rotation and they’re not very good.
They are all 3rd string bench players playing in a backup role. That alone is enough of a problem, but when we have injuries it’s a bigger mess.
That’s something I think we will be able to address in the off season.
Macri killing Thibs is his postgame
Good.
Some of the social media guys might be a little afraid to ruffle feathers while they are trying to build something. They could lose any access they have. But I have more respect for people willing to call it as they see it.
Let’s go Rick!
Show them how to get a team to play hard on both sides!
Bennedict Mathurin is playing defense and looking like an all-NBA teamer right now. Ceiling is sky high for him if he can put it all together consistently.
Didn’t watch the game. Kolek got 2 minutes?
Watched the “highlights”
Interesting that after the Mikal minutes farago, we suddenly have less effort from players ? Any journalist gonna ask if the players have a bone with Thibs? What’s isola doing nowadays (apart from the obvious)
This has been discussed many times before. The team is not properly constructed. It is top heavy, thin, and the bench is poor at best. This shows at nights like this. It is not the coaching, it is the FO decisions last summer, and the coach is culpable to the extend that he went along with that. We don’t know how and why those decisions had been made. We don’t know.
Overall, however, we cannot judge the season before it is over. JB comes back, we go into the playoffs, we see how we do, and then draw conclusions. Everybody please relax, especially the ghouls. We are sick and tired reading the same over and over again. And we have enough to be upset about with the way the team played tonight.
Donnie Pacer Fan is starting to gear up for the post season…

Hard to know what’s on the bench when the coach refuses to give many players a chance. The 15th spot could be used on somebody like TJ Warren as well.
Weak,
As I said, we have enough to be upset about by the way the team has played. Why do we have to read about your anti-Thibs mania every single time? You have made your point clear over and over and over. Today, yesterday, last week, last month. Tonight alone, you posted a dozen times about the same! Give it a rest, man! Can’t you think of something else to comment on? What is wrong with you?
Chuma Okeke had 14 points and 15 rebounds last night for the Sixers and shot 4-5 from three and 5-6 from the field.
Rough, you blaming the team for not giving effort has a lot to due with dead legs. Dead legs come from playing to many minutes.

I know, I understand. This may be part of the problem, but not necessarily the problem. And so on. Take it easy now.
You’re taking these guys who are already banged up and playing a zillion minutes, then throwing them out there for 75 minutes each on back to back days in games where the team goes 0-2 and isn’t competitive in either game against lousy teams.
That’s just fucking stupid. They lost the games anyway. Maybe you don’t need to coach the second meaningless game of a back to back against Charlotte in March like it’s Game 7 of the Finals. If people can’t see what’s wrong with this rockheaded approach to coaching a basketball team, I don’t really know what to say.
Sure, the team is thin. Play the bench anyway. The other teams are running shitty bench players out there too.
This shit is wack.
^^ Spot on
Surprisingly interested in St John’s. Such a staple of my childhood
RJ Luis is an NBA player- he should be on mock drafts
MarJon Beauchamp and Anton Watson both scored in the 2 minutes they got. Both players should be getting a longer look.
What am I watching the Knicks again?
My wife’s interest in the Johnnies was increased 100% by the presence of Lefteris Leotopolous
St John’s is playing a dumb game. Omaha is making it tough on them, but they are playing right into the trap.
