The Knicks got back to .500 last night, and now they are perfectly poised to never go under .500 again this season, as this is the start of a stretch of VERY winnable games.
This one, in particular, sure as hell BETTER be a win.
Let’s go, Knicks!
Putting straight to 58!

Let’s gooooo, Knicks! 🧡💙
I like our chances tonight!
You better be right, ess-dog. If we don’t win tonight, KB will be on fire tomorrow. LOL
well alright then, good thing I got myself a color tv, so I can see the knicks play basketball 🏀
basketball jones….i gotta basketball jones…
wow
I’m expecting a very big game from KAT tonight.
That’s a motley crue starting five for Washington
shamet also started a previous game for us weve already had 8 guys start at least one game for us
Lots of positive chatter about Kyshawn George but seems like Alex Sarr is also developing nicely. Wiz could be pretty good pretty soon if they draft well.
Brown with a thibs like early TO…bad energy
id rather he take the timeout to light a fire under their butts than not take it
KAT padding his OREB stats
KAT no longer being able to make layups could eventually become a problem.
Is defensive 3 seconds still a rule in the NBA? I can’t remember the last time I saw it called.
I won’t criticize KAT because I want to encourage the good behavior of shooting 3s instead of unconvincingly pump faking into a doomed drive
KAT’s man was 3 feet off of him but he decided to travel instead of taking a hardly contested 3.
Shamet’s been playing well so I’m glad he’s getting the start, but surprised it wasn’t Huk. Maybe Huk’s struggling with some of what Brown is trying to have the team do.
OG made a layup…
Another example of KAT’s terrible defensive footwork, he let Sarr walk him right to the hoop.
Predictions on when Knicks will decide to start playing defense tonight? I say 5 mins remaining in 3rd quarter.
maybe huk like jemison diawara dadiet is just not good/ready enough yet in general
Why challenge that?
Why are we using a challenge already?
Ridiculous that it’s taking this long…
Here i am. Let’s win this.
I had a feeling Knicks were gonna start off playing like shit tonight but it’s still not making it any easier to watch.
Offense looks like shit
As does the defense
Shamet for the hollywood moment of the night! 😀
I suspect that *I* could block Yabusele.

Most embarrassing quarter of the season.
Nonexistent defense, and it’s not KAT.
It’s a testament to how horrible the wizards are that we’re only down by 6 after that quarter
Edit: 8*
This looks A LOT like the preseason game. Washington is young, tall, long, fast, and athletic, and you can see the difference on every possession.
We have top out-shoot and out-veteran them.
Great pass by KAT, and then a steal
Nonexistent defense, and it’s not only KAT.
fify
Every once in a while I remember that I used to be happy to see Jordan Clarkson on the opposing team
I like the layup but KAT passed up an open 3 to get into it.
That stupid Clarkson 3 and OG airball is what happens when you encourage guys to just launch 3s.
Honestly they’ve been better defensively tonight when he’s been on the floor.
Wally interviewing Bubba Watson is not something I ever thought I’d see on my TV.
Bubba Watson? Really???
Why the holy hell are we interviewing a golfer for god’s sake.
Wow two of the dumbest passes I’ve seen, by Clarkson, on the same possession.
No middle ground with Clarkson….feast or famine
Does anyone know why Deuce missed the 2 games? He has not been the same since returning.
Deuce had a death in the family.
Grandma passed.
Knicks and the Sopranos… Alan smiled! 🙂
And i did too!!
I didn’t know Hillary Duff’s song was the theme for Laguna Beach.
Need to see more of this version of KAT against defenders who are not named Alex Sarr
That was weird. Towns told Yabu to go in for him with the cut. Isn’t it Brown who’s supposed to tell players to play?
KAT just ate Sarr’s lunch
Excellent defensive sequences there.
Nice help from the Washington defender, maybe Clarkson misses the 3P, this way it’ll be easier 🙂
If Clarkson can keep scoring more points than minutes he plays, I’ll take his moronic plays as humorous. Or I’ll try…
Don’t look now but Clarkson has 10 points on 4 shout and is a +16
Z-man called it, KAT has been very good tonight. Jalen struggling, so others have to step up.
And nice to see Hart continuing to play like himself again.
Jordan Clarkson is a necessary evil
Defense has been a little better this quarter.
I spoke too soon.
That was a terrible no-call on Mikal. He was slammed on the arm.
What an embarrassing ending to the half, absolutely unacceptable.
HOLY SHIT NEVERMIND!!!!
See what happens when you shoot the ball KAT?!
Definitely feeling better about thinking Alex Sarr should have been the first pick in the 2024 draft.
It’s late, i leave you guys with the task of getting the W. I’m a +7 on the game, don’t disappoint me. 😛 😀
Angry Jalen gonna go off in the second half
Towns is king of the dumb charge
Up 9 for Cyber. Let’s keep it going…
What a steal by OG.
Had one of those last game, too
We are winning, but I’m souring on Brown’s coaching already.
26 pt lead for Cyber…
Can you boys take a nice deep breath now? The sky isn’t falling.
Everybody beats the Wiz
This is alot more fun than the 1st half was.
You have to take the bad with the good, but at least now we are getting the good Clarkson.
ess-dog, I assume you’re souring over the fact that Yabu is still in there…
A lot of reassuring things happening of late but I’d still like to see what it looks like when Yabu hits a shot
Other than that stiff yaboocelly…we look better
The demise of Josh Hart was greatly exaggerated.
Even Josh Hart is making 3s now.
Knicks go up 27, immediately give up back to back 3s like clockwork.
Make that another 3pter…
It’s nice to be dominating when Jalen is having an off night
And starting a 17th man on most rosters.
And a 20-point lead is hardly dominating in the 3PT era.
Obligatory miss from 1′ by OG
Wow, I got the trivia question
Landry Fields, for those reading, was the last Knick rookie to play every game
Landry Fields was a very polarizing player on this site…
Diawara with 4 minutes to go!
Why can’t we see this super aggressive KAT every night?
KAT needs to bring this same intensity next game vs his former team.
That’s it! Empty the bench.
Wow kids look great (NOT!)
This is why Thibs hated emptying the bench.
Scrubs gonna scrub
This is why Thibs never took the starters out
Edit: BBA beat me to it
Come on, guys, one basket and it’s over. Just score once.
Diawara with a Shaq-level free throw.
Hm maybe diarrhea is actually the perfect nickname for Diawarra…
More like Chris Dudley.
Diarrhea and Yabujelly
This is actually evidence that it’s ok to empty the bench with 3 minutes left. Pretty near impossible to blow a 20 point lead when it’s scrubs vs scrubs.
Wednesday should be interesting although assuming Ant is still out would be a bad look if Knicks lose.
Yes d-mar but it messes up our point differential therefore our all important SRS!
Celtics 11-51 from three tonight
Markanen has been great for Utah so far this season, I know because he’s on my fantasy team.
Clarkson tonight in 21 minutes:
5-8
2-5 3pt
3-3 FTs
15 pts
+17
I counted two dumb shots and one terrible TO, but also two nifty assists.
Hopefully he can keep that up.
Not really, Julius has like an 8 bpm so far this season, he’s beasting.
Don’t care what Randle has done so far Knicks should not lose at home to Minnesota without Ant.
It wasn’t Mikal’s notable scoring games, but he filled up the stat sheet and again shot well from 3. He’s been good in all 7 games so far, great to see, especially since he’s been extended.
