Tonight especially, Owen. The Raptors aren’t that good when they’re healthy, and they’re not healthy.

Huk Huk!!!

Did anyone interview Bane on national TV and ask why he was such a dick?

No Mitch, trouble on the interior – gave up that first board, then one for an easy putback. No bueno.

Brunson iso against Poetl is a good way not to turn the ball over

Edit: after another TO, yes, please let’s just let Brunson score

matador d (if i wasn’t watching on prime)

One of the keys to the game was a Clyde gem – “Don’t procrastinate, devastate” 😉

KAT and Brunson gets most of the shit for the Knicks bad defense but Hart low key is a big part of the horrible Knicks defensive possessions.

KAT reverting to dumb fouls………..

They’re like tatoos. It you see one you’re gonna see two more.

A Knicks loss tonight wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, they’d get 4 days off before playing Miami at home then another 3 days off before playing a back to back.

lol at the crowd cheer on Brunson’s miss – don’t they know Mitch is in the game?

Can we fire Clarkson?

The CBA effectively won’t let us do it without a trade.

No chance for the “this would be the worst loss of the season” comment tonight? 😉 😛 😀

That commercial for “Oh. What. Fun.” was so long I feel like I watched the whole movie

I’m also okay not giving Desmond Bane another chance to injure one of our players

Hubert, I was just thinking that!

Brunson, at the end of that incredibly long time out, saying to Clarkson: “Do something useful.”

Thank God for the League Pass, i don’t have commercials. 🙂

Brunson going for 80.

Yabu is useless on defense unless he’s playing with 40+ year old guys at the Y.

I don’t think Clarkson had an angle to Mitch on that one, but again, passing to a big low under the hoop is almost always a bad idea

Considering how bad Toronto is offensively this might be the most embarrassing defensive quarter by the Knicks this season.

Horrible defense compounded by giving clarkson too much run

Also Mitch has made pretty much zero good decisions

I don’t understand Brown’s love of Clarkson. I get that he’s an eater of innings, but he’s more of a pre-Hardmode Corruption-themed worm boss.

With Deuce and Shamet out, Kolek is the only alternative to Clarkson – and he should be playing.

Absolutely embarrassing!

Don’t downplay Clarkson’s skills… we could easily play Diawara, Tosan, Dadiet, McCullar, and Jemison over Clarkson too.

Its the normal rotation, Brunson plays entire 1st quarter then sits and Kolek starts the 2nd quarter.

If they’re going to play like shit I at least need Clyde to attempt “Mamukelashvili”

I know, BBA, I just like the idea of an Assistant Coach of Media Hot Takes in the second row whispering to Brown about our posts…

He’ll probably go with “Sandro”

Hart is a turnstile

Yeah, his defense has been really bad. He’s ok against bigger and slower guys, but can’t stay in front of anyone fast.

Scottie Barnes is one of those NBA players who is very triggering to me as a former middle school teacher, because he makes the exact same face to refs who accurately call fouls on him as students denying they did things I very obviously saw them do. It’s a particular kind of over the top incredulity.

Raven that actually would be great if every game a different member of Knickerblogger sits near the Knicks bench giving Mike Brown coaching advice from the blog!

Just realized that the game is on MSG 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

I was sure they’d collapse once Kolek went back to the bench, but nope.

Kolek was low-key good, however, kidding aside.
