The Knicks host the Bucks in a game that will decide if the Knicks move on to the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup.
That, in and of itself, doesn’t really mean much, but at the same time, the fact that you’re IN the NBA Cup is, generally speaking, a good thing. The Pacers for instance, won it the year they made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Thunder won it last year. Winning it DOES suggest that you can hang with the best teams in the NBA.
So they really should just win it.
Let’s go, Knicks!

Of course Giannis is playing tonight.
if we wanna be the best we gotta beat the best but yeah i know what you mean
Who guards Giannis?
Huk can!
Huk Huk.
Man how many superstars gonna have injuries then suddenly be healthy enough to play the Knicks at MSG? First ANT now Giannis…
They call him dairy bird
Shocking garbage ass start by the Knicks…
Towns actually needs to give a shit on D. Totally gave up on that Myles 3
Ok if we can hold them to under 80% on threes the rest of the game I think we have a chance
Maybe we should just let Giannis get his 40 and defend the other guys.
Yabu!!
I always liked that guy…
Okay, maybe not.
This is embarrassing…
Where’s Mitch?
Better when we play the hornets
They’re down to 73% from three, so there’s a chance…
Seriously, can we guard the three point line now? Giannis is out.
Tape of 1st quarter to be used on a tutorial: How to exploit the Gap Defense
edit: MB to reply, Wait for regression…
That was not very pretty
Mitch all of a sudden becoming garbage at defense isn’t helping.
The fact that we’re down by only 4 after what was really a pretty sucky first quarter is about as close to a win as losing can be…
It’s so simple yet the Knicks never get it. Close out the shooters and force them to put it on the floor. Bucks offense looks good now because they are hitting 3s but it actually isn’t.
I’d rather give up paint points than wide open 3 looks
Here i am, how are we looking?
Yeah that quarter sucked ass but Knicks gonna still win this game.
Sweet Kolek sweep shot.
Hart is so good at the rim…
Beautiful move by Kolek
Josh Hart – the human fast break
Kolek-Deuce-Clarkson-Hart-KAT
Not enough shooting
I take it back the Knicks might not win this game…
Portis and Hart are thinking about bringing the 90s back 🙂
11 for 16 from 3 by the Bucks but yes please worry about the paint fuck the 3pt line!!!!
Maybe the 3 point contest this year should be all Bucks. 🤦
Brown’s defensive scheme believes in the opposite. ( as does OKC, but they close out much better)
He just wants to fit in with the rest of the guys until OG is back. 😜
Anyone want to trade for Giannis?
Not a fun Jordan Clarkson game, and also Mitch looks hapless out there.
KAT got hammered there, no call
