2025-26 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Sixers

Why the fuck are the Knicks playing tonight?

This is some stupid bullshit.

Anyhow, let’s go, Knicks!

Feeling great about 58!

I gotta say i didn’t care about the NBA Cup until we were there for the final, but now i think a tshirt with Knicks and champions has a ring to it. 😉 😛

We can all dream cyber

Strange to see Grimes out there. Seems like a different, far less inhibited guy offensively

Not surprisingly, Kolek struggling against probably the quickest combined backcourt in the league…

Next Knicks player who throws another fucking lazy pass that’s intercepted should be benched for rest of the game.

I think you can say that about a dozen NBA players after they divorced Thibs. Talk about a wild coincidence.

Great pass from Hart there

And re Grimes he’s handling the ball a fair amount rather than sitting in a corner

Mitch is the MVP of this game so far.

I have a great big man crush on Mitch.

Me too. No wait, there’s Taylor Rooks.

Wait, Nick Nurse isn’t annoying anymore? That must be a sign of the apocalypse. 😀

Entire halftime talk from Brown should just be about preaching the importance of defending the God damn 3pt line.

Well this has been a bit of a dog fight. Too fast and mostly well-played to be a rock fight.

2 more wide ass open corner 3s for Philly, somehow the Knicks defense has gotten even stupider after halftime.

Knicks keep forcing tough shots in the paint while Philly just bombs away from 3pt, this is a game Thibs would be proud of.

Shit just saw scoreboard Spurs up 24 at halftime in Atlanta. Hawks with alot of talent looks like they’re heading as usual for the play in tourney.

just checked the boxscore, clarkson is listed with 2 turnovers and 2 fouls…that doesn’t seem right, feels like he’s done a lot worse out there…

Mitch is 6-7 from the FT line.
He was 6-27 coming into this game.
Was shooting 22% before tonight. Now 35%

Andre Drummond swishing 3’s and Mitch swishing FTs. Am I dreaming?

Michael Stipe: It’s the end of the world and we know it! 😀

Knicks don’t deserve to win this game.

That’s what great teams do, they win games they don’t deserve 😉

That was a total nightmare end of the third quarter. And it seemed like it would never end…

I mean shit it’s their 3rd game in 4 nights against a very well rested team so I understand some of the lazy fouls and turnovers but still doesn’t make it any easier to watch.

Knicks won a game that meant winning a Cup, then rested ONE day, and are now on the 2nd game of a B2B. Come on.

Knicks have made some of the dumbest turnovers. Kolek and Clarkson have turned into pumpkins this game – giving us nothing

Crowd thought the referee said “illegal” and started booing. So good. Let’s put pressure on the refs. 😀

I want to see that travel call again but the difference between OGs defense and offense is stark

Knicks kind of throwing it away but B2B, it happens

I take it back Knicks are probably not winning this game…

Brunson needs a few days of rest. His shots are all short.

A lot of unlucky shooting tonight.

JB def tired, everything is short. Bridges needs to step up. Also put clarkson back in over Kolek?

That last turnover might’ve been the most infuriating moment of this entire season. Just utter carelessness and stupidity.

Jalen and OG had no legs. Miso never gets tired, played his usual game, but couldn’t very them tonight.

Funny quote from Taylor Rooks: “the Mitch/Drummond shootout”

Schedule-loss. Absolutely nothing from the bench. Poor decision making by Brunson at the end (he kept shooting when he had no legs). Should’ve kept Mitch in longer for double big lineup. Edgecomb won’t shoot like that again nor will Drummond hit three 3s.

The difference in the game is simple just look at the 3pt stats. This was a loss straight out of last season’s playbook.

Also turnovers, BBA. 18 of them for the Knicks. Those Sixer guards just played the passing lanes all game long.

Also odd stat, they had 8 blocks, we had 3 (Mitch with 2). I didn’t notice that, but it’s telling.

Alright fuck it game is over hopefully guys rest up tomorrow and beat the Heat on Sunday.

How about Cavs just lost at home to the Bulls and are now 15-14.

I felt before the year started that Philly is the sleeper team in the conference. Not that tonight is any big deal, but if, if, if PG13 and Embiid can somehow get reasonably healthy for the playoffs, they will be a very tough out.

The Knicks shooting 25% from 3 was not in last season’s playbook and Andre Drummond a career 16% 3 point shooter making 3 of 4 and a 48% career FT shooter making 3 of 3 was not on my dance card, either. Nor was 18 TOs.

I 100% agree.

I just believe that there is about a 2% chance of that happening, so I’m not worried about them.

But yes, Edgecombe definitely has that certain je ne sais quoi about him, doesn’t he?

I’ll worry about them in a few years once George and Embiid’s contract expire, and they can try to surround Maxey and Edgecombe with someone good.

Mitch hitting 7 of 8 FTs is a bigger fluke than all that bullshit you just stated.

What I stated were certifiable facts. If you consider facts to be bullshit, that’s a reflection on someone other than me. Maybe try taking an Ativan next time.

you know what I really want…I want to be a billionaire so fucking bad…

gym class heroes to the rescue to put a little shine back on the night…
