The Knicks have at least luckily hit a stretch of games where even a struggling Knick team should be able to defeat the Nets with ease. I legit don’t know at least two of the Nets’ starters off the top of my head. I know MPJ, Claxton and Terance Mann start, but beyond them…Clowney, maybe?
So, yeah, this better be a win.
Let’s go, Knicks!
58 is still possibly great!

Let’s be a team..
Town with 50 tonight? That or he fouls out…
Maybe both!
At the game with my little guy and he’s about to explode if Claxton sinks this FT to make the score 6-7
I hate how they pump loud sound at Barclays. It makes it a very unpleasant arena experience, and is not great even for the broadcast.
This is going to be a super annoying game isn’t it…
WTF ie going on with KAT he can’t even make point blank layups right now.
If they didn’t pump loud music you could hear a pin drop in here. This place is a mausoleum.
But I did get three tickets to tonight for the price of one ticket to Friday vs the Bucks @ MSG, and my 7 year old doesn’t know the difference (actually I’m not sure if my 80 year old dad does, either).
Not a good sign that the Nets of all teams can get an uncontested 3 or shot at the rim every possession.
At least the offense looks terrible.
At least we can’t get defensive rebs either.
Okay, all eyes on Huk…
Okay, that was a good Yabu pass to Clarkson…
Deuce!
Hello…(hello…hello…hello…)
Well I don’t care, I’m having fun watching Kolek.
Kolek with the rush to the rim!
Bouncing and announcing…
This is a fun defense first lineup despite having KAT at C
I really like what I’m seeing from Kolek
Actually playing pretty good defense this quarter!
All our kids are doing well! Mostly on the defensive end, but that’s something.
Huk mini-Mitching
The defense has not been good, the Nets have just been missing. You can’t allow 24 3PAs in 22 minutes.
“Huk’s Porti”
LOL
Gotta love Clyde
This is some pathetic 3pt shooting by the Knicks.
This is just pathetic period from the Knicks.
You would think the Knicks would have the fresher legs tonight. But then again, the Nets are the youngest team in the league
This team is too old already. Blow it up Leon!
Josh Hart is our best three-point shooter tonight.
I’m still against the trade, but there are moments when I’d rather see Anthony Davis in street clothes than KAT doing stupid things.
Why is Deuce handling the ball on the final possession of the half?
We gotta get Jalen off the ball more? LOL SMH
KAT with a decent half. It’s really Mikal and Deuce being off that’s hurting us.
thank you nico hischier and sam reinhart
Only 14 attempts from 3pt for the Knicks along with just 10 assists, this looks like a game from last season.
Wow what a bad sequence on both ends by KAT.
There’s your classic extremely low IQ sequence by KAT to start the half
We look like a disjointed team
Deuce isn’t coming close to making a 3pter tonight.
Horrible non-challenge by Brown
How do you not challenge that fool on Brunson?
and john carlson too
Highlights of Melo are fun 😛
Yabu dunked on Lebron? It’s karma, now he turned into a pumpkin! 😀
Only started in the 2nd half, how did the Nets fans received Mikal? Oh forget about it, there’s no Nets fans! LOL
Would be nice to build on this lead and have garbage time in the 4th quarter.
Breen is right, KAT shoots long 3Ps… we need the 4pt line! 😀
very bad D by clarkson there
are you feeling confident in a win tonite yet i am
The Nets announcers just commented that Diawara is a player that Mike Brown raves about.
I feel more than ever that as Mikal goes, we go.
To get Yabu in shape Knicks need to put a spy on every shop in NY that have baguettes! LOL
great fucking pass by Kolek
Another nice pass
I think Kolek is starting to earn some time on the court…
Koleksanity?
100%
“Johnny Newman? Who knew??”
Clyde is so funny! 🙂
LETS GO KNICKS!!! Solid Kolek minutes so far👍🏾
Although it is against the Nets…
Have you guys tried the Sprite Winter Spice Cranberry, the ads finally got to me but it’s actually pretty great
I like Clowney…
Kudos to KAT for reading KB 😀
Brown needs to step up his challenges. He SUCKS at it.
Another dumb non-challenge…
Did the iPad guy go on a break these past few games?
Impressive elevation by Yabu
I hate to say it, but I’m not getting the feels from Brown…
Yabu can’t jump over a post-it note.
So impressed with Kolek
Every time Knicks look like they’re about to pull away Nets hit a 3pter.
Z-man, “feels from Brown”?
I really liked that Kolek was being tough. Not just the charge, which was nice, but the Nets have been trying to tie him up a lot and he just shoves them away.
Towns is up. Thank goodness.
Staying in to get his 50 and make me look good…
Clyde “I slept with a lot of ice bags during my playing time”
Breen “I think i don’t want to know the details”
LOLOL
Maybe we shouldn’t trade KAT.
“Maybe we shouldn’t trade KAT.”
Yeah, he sure showed those Nets!
huk-sporti…i like it!
Huk is like Mitch in many ways…
Huk might be worse than Sims on offense…
Clarkson basically a minimum scrub tonight
when did the knicks decide to only target poor free throw shooting big men?
anyway, we are beating the nets. yay
Hukporti and Mitch from the FT line. Who you got?
WTF is Hart doing completely ignoring Clowney who’s been drilling 3s all night?
Tosan Evbuomwan enters the game for Jordan Clarkson
I’m watching Jemison.
Players names are whatever Clyde says. Huk-sporti is indeed great. 😉
MVPs of the game: Breen and Clyde
The Diawara iso attempt was funny.
Knicks go scoreless in the final 2 and a half minutes of garbage time…
I treasure every Clyde-Breen moment…how many more do we have?
Nothing quite like playing Brooklyn to improve morale
Nets have a lot of bigs, no? Maybe we should call them.
This was a game we should have easily won and we did. The talent gap on the floor was glaring. The Nets had no answer for KAT and at times they didn’t even look interested in disrupting our offense. That was jaw-dropping.
It’s a good thing we didn’t get embarrassed like in Dallas a few days ago. I was concerned about this for most of the first two quarters but we put it together in the second half.
This is a good win for the team’s psychology, but we can’t draw serious conclusions from this game.
KAT saying he’s the first to get in the gym and the last to leave, i like it.
I will say in all humility that if we trade KAT, we ain’t getting a higher character guy back.
Bagels, Cyber, bagels
Breen mentioned it tonight, if Knicks win their next 2 games they win their group and advance to the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup since they’ll have head to head tiebreaker over Miami and Milwaukee.
Curious to see how motivated the Knicks players will come out on Wednesday at Charlotte, that definitely has trap game written all over it.
Went to the game tonight in Brooklyn with my son (he’s 11). KAT really balled out, especially in the second half. He’s our best defensive rebounder. I felt his defense on the ball and with some weakside help was better then usual. And yes, he’s absolutely a very likable dude. Unless it’s a clear trade to upgrade the team, and not create any new weaknesses, I think you stand pat for now. Let this team and new coach gel, give them 40 games.
FYI, it was my son‘s first game in Brooklyn. He enjoyed the entire vibe in the stadium. Lots of homage to Brooklyn hip-hop and Brooklyn culture..
raptors 13-5 after beating cleveland who knew wed have to contend with those guys this season
so much for the bulls now 4-8 after their 5-0 start talk about a mirage
