After kicking the ass of a good Minnesota Timberwolves team (Anthony Edwards seemed like his feet were in molasses, but still), the Knicks get an easier row to hoe with the terrible Brooklyn Nets, who will be without Cam Thomas for a month or so, so they were already bad and are now even WORSE.
People really seemed to think that the Eastern Conference wasn’t going to suck this year. It totally sucks, and that is really great news for the Knicks!
Let’s go, Knicks!
Feeling great about 58!

At least we know cam Thomas won’t go off on us tonight
The Nets definitely suck this year, but I’m not sure about the Eastern conference. See this Hollinger article.

I agree about the Trail Blazers being a pleasant surprise. And they may have reached with Yang, but also Williams is healthy and laying well so it’s hard to tell
LGK hopefully the only intrigue will be whether we cover the 15 ½ point spread.
Huk Huk!!!
Let’s go Knicks! 🧡💙
Okay, Mitch Mitch!!
Well there goes my 100-0 bet…
The Mike Brown offense is cookin’!
this should be over by the mid 3rd period…
let the bench get some work…
Are they actually overpassing?
Every now and then KAT will throw a pass that makes me fantasize about his (limited) point forward potential. That sling to Mikal in the corner was sick.
actually a great game for both the coaching staff to work on stuff and the bench to get some court time…
Clyde would say “Brunson discombobulated” 😀
If the Knicks could defend the paint they’d be up 15.
Brunson keeps leaving his feet…
KAT with the matador D X 2
Brooklyn is defending well
Its really tough watching some of these Knick lineups attempt to play defense.
I was close to typing RIP Shamet on that block.
If the Knicks continue making all of their 3s they might go 79-3.
That was an incredible offensive reb by Hart.
That was good D by Brooklyn, we’re just hot rn.
This is getting very physical…
Just unrecognizable compared to last year. They won’t always go in so much but keep getting ‘em up.
This Knicks lineup is much better defensively…
They get really good shots in like 8 out of 10 possessions.
I feel bad for them
Trying to think who this “Steve” is announcing, then remembered it’s Novak. So far not horrible.
Agreed, Raven, he’s pretty decent…
Well Clarkson definitely isn’t overpassing…
Are we allowed to say nice things about Clarkson yet?
Great pass by Bridges on that lob to KAT.
The D is immediately so much worse with KAT in at center, but oh well.
Clarkson needs to know that a catch and shoot KAT 3 is better than him pulling up in transition.
We are making two-thirds of our shots so far, not bad.
KAT is like seal. Offense is like water to him.
NOW we can say nice things about Clarkson!
MVP Clarkson in the house 😀
Clarkson not even working up a sweat out there.
Michael Porter Jr. sure can shoot.
Brooklyn is shooting a lot of 3s.
Only Josh Hart could refer to Mitch’s offensive rebounding as “hilarious”
Is Demin pronounced Yoyman?
Anyone missing Thibs?
What a stupid ending to the half.
Feels like we should be up 30…
Maybe we should be up 30, but our defense wasn’t good. We gave up 62 points and it wasn’t because of freaky shooting by the Nets. They got lots of nice looks.
Not quite sure why OG isn’t glued to Michael Porter Jr. There’s no other person to worry about on that team.
Knicks shooting killing Mitch’s offensive rebound numbers
“Knicks shooting killing Mitch’s offensive rebound numbers”
That’s funny!
Mitch Mitchin’!
It really is amazing how good OG and Bridges have become at getting and making corner 3s.
I don’t remember a Knicks team in my lifetime that moved the ball like this. Just hope they keep it up because it really enhances the viewing experience (and seems good for winning games too).
We’re kind of spoiled Knicks fans. Yes the Nets stink and shouldn’t be getting 60 points in a half, but the offense is humming like a well oiled machine.
Enjoy it!
So does Mitch sit Tuesday vs Memphis or Wednesday vs Orlando? I’d prefer if he played vs Orlando but curious to see how the Knicks handle this back to back.
Agreed, d-mar. I’ll enjoy it. They might be the best offense in the league.
Up 28. When do we think we see Kolek and Huk?
Just realized Yabu is completely out of the rotation
Brown should rest the starters the whole 4th quarter
This Knicks offense really is incredibly fun to watch.
Man, the Nets are bad

Manhattan remembers Nic…
“Just realized Yabu is completely out of the rotation”
Yeah, EB, didn’t even think about him until you brought it up!
Knicks have 48 points in the paint, 42 points from 3pt, out of 104 points.
mitch had that guys shot blocked before it even left his hand…
Sharpe immediately going to work on Yabu.
Mitch is +40. Is there a record for that stat?
This kid Powell looks like he might be good.
KAT trying to add material to his And1 mixtape audition reel
Extended garhbhage time
That time it sounded like Breen said Dwoyman
Ok Mike please get KAT and OG the hell out of the game
Just gonna say. KAT has five fouls, over 20 points, has his double-double. Free the Huk!
Yay! Huk!
So the winner of the Huk sweepstakes is anyone with 8 minutes left.
d-Mar, your wish has been granted
Yabu getting cooked by whoever those 2 guys were
Clarkson hustling on D up 40 is nice to see
Shamet, wtf are you doing that for?
It’s a scrub-a-ganza!
…and Kolek at 5:13…
I would still really like to see Yabu hit a shot
Yabu hit a three earlier on, just as I was winding up to insult him with great fervor…
“I would still really like to see Yabu hit a shot”
You musta blinked at the 1-minute mark of the 3rd…
RIP Lenny Wilkins, great player in his day
Hope you’re still watching TNFH… do FTs count?
Yabu not earning MY trust, anyway,..
OMG THERE ARE STILL 2 MINUTES LEFT AND WE ARE UP BY 30. WHY AREN’T THE STARTERS STILL IN THE GAME TO SECURE OUR NOVEMBER VICTORY?!?!!??
Mohamed Diawara…future HOFer
That 51 guy on our team is giving me louie orr flashbacks
Gosh darn it. With this new coach and wild rotations I’m going to have to learn more than 8 Knicks on the roster. Kolek just did a nice pick and pass to “I dunno” who drove to the lane and kicked it out to someone who missed a trey. It was beautiful, but who are these people?
We held a team below 100 pts!
My thoughts:
Man the Nets fucking stink.
I know it’s meaningless but Mitch being +40 in 16 minutes is extremely funny. He looked like he was playing against children.
Mo Diawara you have my attention
So how much did Mikal Bridges hate Thibs? Not only is he playing light years better this season but he’s vocal as hell on the court as well. You never saw that last year.
Sure, the Nets are the worst team in the league and missing one of their best offensive players. But that was still very impressive.
