2025-26 Game Thread: Knicks @ Magic: NBA Cup Semifinals

Okay, NOW it’s the semifinals.

The Knicks take on the Magic, and it would be SUPER cool to get the NBA Cup Finals, if only to put the Magic in their place.

Let’s go, Knicks!

58 wins might be LOW!

This thing seems kinda fun. They got a red carpet for the players and everything. I just don’t know why they do it on a random Saturday in December. Do it in February when nothing’s going on. A final four weekend like this would much cooler than the all star game.

All I want for Christmas is for no Knicks to get injured by the Orlando Thugs (rhymes with Suggs)

Fitting that the day after Knicks reach 9th in defensive rating they start this game not giving a fuck about playing defense against a shitty offense.

Knicks suddenly playing great on both sides. Good passing, hands in every passing lane.

One thing I’d like changed with the rotation is making sure always one of OG or Bridges.

Maybe the Knicks are strategically tanking this game knowing how much better off they’d be scheduling wise if they lose…

Pretty much everything Yabu does (or fails to do) makes me furious.

And just like that, a 10-2 run.

Watching Clarkson on the break, I was betting myself that he wouldn’t pass, even when he was triple-teamed. I owe myself money.

Does anyone remember when I said Yabu & Clarkson would be worse than Payne & Achiuwa?

Clarkson will eventually get hot and win us a game, but he’ll suck ass the rest of the time. We miss Shamet and Deuce.

Can’t watch. My colleague messed up our server online and now i have to solve the problem. So, i’m counting on you to bring the W home. đŸ§¡đŸ’™

What type of food you think would be served at the Yabu Deli?

All the foods

Bacon, egg and cheese on a twinkie?

Who’s more overrated – Banchero or Cade Cunningham?

Tough call, but I gotta go with the man with 45 points on 46 shots

I love that Brown is playing Kolek. Aside from the fact he’s playing well, this experience will get him ready for playoff basketball. You have to develop these young guys while you can.

Not sure but I think Brown is running more PnR for Kolek, which is good because he’s wasted in Brown’s normal offense.

I’m sure I’ll have grouchy days where I complain about Brown, but so far he has exceeded my hopes and expectations.

I’ve been clapping a lot these last few minutes.

Still, the aggression from the Magic is creating opportunities to stay in the game. Their break off makes is really special.

Weird 1st half, didn’t think the Knicks played very well yet I’m a bit annoyed they’re only up 7 at halftime cause feels like they should be up more. Knicks shot 60% overall that half but were awful from 3pt and FT line.

Just noticed that we only made 3 3’s and scored 71 points anyway. I wonder if that’s a record in a half for the last 10 years or so…

Make our free throws, stop the fast break off makes, we should be OK in the second half

Many missed free throws, clarkson stinking up the joint, towns dumb fouls ….but up 7 so far

Stopping the fast break from makes is harder than you think, because Suggs is basically Josh Hart’s twin brother.

Just noticed Knicks are road team this game, I wonder if NBA will do what it did a couple of years ago and change a current Knicks road game against a shitty team to a home game so they’ll play a balanced schedule.

Magic run started with OG butter fingers. For as good as he is, I have such little faith in him dribbling and passing in a crowd

For as amazing an offensive rebounder Mitch is he’s equally as bad at grabbing defensive boards.
