The Knicks have now fallen into third place in their own division, and are a game and a half ahead of the team that they play today.
And it’s an early game on national television.
So, yeah, they really, really need to win this game. But I think they will. That Nets win feels like a pallete cleanser, and they can now stop with the awful, disorganized play, and just kick some fucking ass.
Edgecombe is also due for a bad game against the Knicks. Maybe Maxey could also try sucking for a change!
Let’s go, Knicks!
Feeling great about a win before 8!

I like the pivot, Brian!
The majority, if not all of our wins this season. came because of hot offense. If shots don’t fall or if the opposing team defends us well, physically and/or schematically, then we are in trouble.
If we show today a capacity to slow down a good team, to play consistently good defense, to put together consecutive stops, then we have a chance. We have not shown that this season. A few short spurts of good defense here and there are not enough.
Speaking of which, Warriors-Wolves was cancelled in Minneapolis after a 2nd U.S. citizen was killed by ICE.
That’s funny, Brian. 😀
Let’s gooooo Knicks! 🧡💙
That’s terrible. 🙁
We can take advantage of Oubre’s defense, right? Or maybe they’ll put him on KAT! 😛
KAT with a 3P to open the game, i hope that gets him going
Now this is on ABC? Guess I’m out.
I seem to have it on ESPN.
Good start. A few farts, but so far playing well and with energy.
KAT is definitely laboring with his back.
That was good defense and no foul by KAT.
Let’s keep playing this way for the full 48 mins.
Knicks have to stop fucking double teaming and over helping on every possession, they are awful and clueless when having to scramble and rotate. Just let guys go one on one and force them to have to score instead of allowing so many easy passes for wide open shots.
Yabu… again!
2 blocks from Mitch on Embiid… loving it!
Can we trade Yabu for Maxey? Maxey is SO much fun to watch.
Yabu, on the other hand, not so much…
I would have taken the charge from Embiid…
“I would have taken the charge from Embiid…”
And afterwards we’d all be saying “Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore'”
Yeah, Maxey is great, we should’ve taken him instead of Obi but we thought he’d be there for our late pick (#21, i think).
I think he was inside the restricted area
nice…espn has a version with no announcers…very lovely…unfortunately they’re using an “odd” (above the rim) camera angle to broadcast…
Knicks couldn’t have played a better 1st quarter yet the game is tied…
philly had a nice bench now that george and embiid are playing…
Knicks played well but also made some dumb mistakes, like three step-out-of-bounds, some ugly turnovers. Letting Yabu play for 2:50.
Philly is also playing really physical. We’re matching them, but it can’t be any fun.
really wish the no announcer broadcast for sports events was more of a thing…
huge quality of life upgrade…
Offensively, yes. Defense leaves a whole lot to be desired, as per usual.
Oh shit.
Okay, KAT back up.
Looked like a foul on the wrist and with the body to me…
Oh totally, but only if it isn’t Breen and/or Clyde, right? 😉
KAT has been getting alot of shit lately for his play and rightfully so but he’s a tough dude.
true dat senhor…
Loose the Deuce!
Are you fucking serious with that foul call on Hart???????
That is a dubious call, even the broadcast reverted to silence
KAT’s arm is at it… again!
They reversed that call but Deuce got hit in the head
That and the Hart call got me wondering
Wtf with that foul call on Hart??
The dreaded transition defense snafu…
How the hell did Grimes get open for that bunny
We can’t even get stops with Maxey and Embiid on the bench.
We have the worst fucking transition defense
Great hustle from Hart
Mikal is Mr. Brick today
Watching bridges brings up feelings i haven’t had since watching Charles Smith in a knick uniform
Knicks with 3 shot attempts in same possession don’t score, Philly finally gets the rebound and immediately scores a fastbreak layup.
What was KAT trying to do with that pass?
This game is pushing the needle on the annoyometer into the red…
What is this foul on Deuce???
love josh’s perpetually annoyed face whenever he’s fouled and heading to the line…
Brown sucks for not challenging that.
Man, Brunson has been out a while
We have to stop missing FTs
