With Mitch out, and us playing against a dreadful opponent, I hope to see Huk get some run out there. Let this be The Huk Game!

Don’t get Diawara starting over Deuce, but hopefully it’s to ease Deuce back into shape.

Kolek is questionable for Monday’s game against the Pelicans with right ankle soreness.

This is a new injury for Kolek, though it does sound minor. While Kolek is in jeopardy of missing this contest, the Knicks could be getting Miles McBride back from his left ankle sprain — McBride is listed as probable.

Kolek injury

marechal I think that’s part of it, but it also might be that he likes Diawara’s defensive length to start the game on a short leash.

Brown has been keeping the 2nd unit as the 2nd unit all season when it comes to injury, putting a 3rd stringer in the starting lineup instead

kolek was questionable at one point in the late afternoon but should be active as he was taken off the injury report just before 7:00

New Orleans is horrible. Zion makes them just bad.
Probing question. Where would Zion be in this Knick lineup? OG or Zion at the 4? Hart to the bench?

I still don’t think Diawara will replace Bernie Williams as my favorite #51 but he now officially has my attention

It truly is remarkable no matter what the starting lineup is the Knicks defense is guaranteed to start the game not giving a fuck.

I can’t wait to see Diawara next year. He has a chance to be pretty special on both sides in a few years.

We need OG to work with Diawara on layups.

If this 2026 it would already be a contender for post of the year. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m an idiot.

Somewhere Thibs is thinking – “I really should have put that Diawara kid in with 2 minutes left in a blowout instead of 1”

I mean if Diawara gets 30 we have to schedule an emergency KB meetup ASAP in which all have 30 drinks

You know, I tried watching the Kings play the Lakers yesterday, but gave up for two reasons. One, the Kings weren’t competitive after the first quarter or so and it wasn’t a fun game to watch. Two, the Lakers announcers were so difficult to listen to. All they did was talk about how great the individual Lakers were and they barely called the game. The individuals Kings seemed not to exist from their point of view. It was so arrogant of them. I bring this up because now I’m listening to the Pels’ announcers and they are so much better. They do call the game snd they manage to talk about both teams and they have done their homework too.

Here’s a thought. Guard the guy with 21 points in the first quarter, maybe.

“Yabu rehab game??”

Zeroes across the board, except for, you know, the turnover.

Can’t really blame him, though, with that much weight, he needs a running start…

I told someone literally earlier today that I wouldn’t trade Yabu/Dadiet/the WAS picks for Bey because I didn’t think he was worth the picks. Didn’t know he was surveilling me.

Absolutely embarrassing defense. We may still win this game but that was simply a lack of effort

Ok I think giving up 41 first-quarter points trumps any good things that happened on offense.

Knicks rarely get blowouts as they seem to toggle their effort to a level just sufficient to win in the 4th quarter.

Knicks defensive rating was borderline Top 10 after the Cup run but right now it’s trending in the wrong direction and might not even be in the Top 15 after this debacle tonight.

Yabu didn’t “keep it alive” — Yabu bobbled an easy rebound and OG grabbed and jammed it.

The power of the Dark Side is growing in me…

Oh shit Jokic might’ve fucked up his knee tonight.

He had 21 / 5/ 8 in the first half…

If Knicks aren’t going to bother playing defense tonight they also can’t be missing a ton of wide ass open 3s.

Hukporti was bleeding everywhere. I wonder why they’re not showing what happened. That was a lot of blood.

Knicks deserve to be down 20 at halftime after that don’t give a shit 1st half performance but instead they’re only down 3 and will probably win the game. This is not your 90’s NBA!

Brown read this morning’s thread about not being different enough from Thibs, decided to empty the bench by halftime

Well if it’s any consolation the Thunder just gave up 74 points to the Hawks in the first half.

Brown better challenge their collective manhood at halftime…that was brutal defending across the board….

It would probably be a good idea to not sit Mitch the next time they plat Zion. He just killed KAT on switches.

Just watched the replay of the Jokic injury, he got his ankle stomped on and his leg did something funky when he tried to move, so not a non-contact injury but looked just as bad, like something popped but maybe just a hyperextension.

I was kinda surprised they sat Mitch because he’s from Louisiana…you would think he’d want to play there.
