2025-26 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Hawks

It’s always fun to kick Trae Young’s ass.

Let’s go, Knicks!

58 is okay, but 60 is what I want today!

Huk has been good protecting the rim, the question is if he can do anything else at an NBA level.

Do we think Jalen Johnson knows enough about 2021 draft minutia to take this game personally or is that just us?

They score 16 points in 4 minutes and can’t have a lead because the defense is so bad.

Huk trapped on Huk Island, which we now know is located not out at sea but around the foul line…

I like KP’s facial hair, makes him look less like an SS officer.

Clarkson has been shooting better, but with Deuce back & Kolek cooking, I don’t think he should play.

Huk could have blown that layup and missed that three pointer just as well…

This is the kind of game where milquetoast bridges has to step up and not be a bystander…score 30….not sure he has the cojones

OG is getting backdoored a lot recently. But damn he’s been incredible so far and our only competent defender

Breaking ground on Diawara Island

Maybe just a condo for the moment

It’s a failure of the scouting department that ATL is even guarding OG at the 3pt line

huk brought his starting scoring average up from 0.7 to 1.0 so thats a 50 percent increase right?

Geez…this is sad…

Yabu just tweaked a butt cheek muscle…that is a month on IR at least

This is a bad game.

I hope the NYE Spurs game doesn’t turn out like the OKC game early last year. A great first half and an annoying season afterwards.

pets.com was less ambitious than that anunoby bounce pass

OG trying to show he can do KAT things too…but he can’t….

I was thinking of going to see them here in Phoenix next week…but if they are putting this kind of product on the floor…think ill save some cash…

Maybe try Mo D at the 5. He could guard Okungwo and provide as much spacing as Yabu

The extended pseudo Summer League is fun and all, but I would like to win some games still

Good challenge. It’s early, but we’re really struggling and it clearly went off the Hawks.

Even if your D is good, it’s hard to win when you shoot 6-28 from 3… With no offensive rebounds …

[spoiler]I am not subjecting myself to this abject failure in sports entertainment this evening, wake me when it’s over[/spoiler]

maybe things will turn around this game…BBA definitely needs to put a stamp on this one, new year’s resolutions be darned…

I don’t have the emotions tonight to get really pissed about this performance plus when I saw that KAT was also out along with Mitch and Hart it kinda gave me a bad feeling about this game.

Someone needs to check on the whereabouts of the Three Witches… There’s a hex on our shot tonight

Feel very stupid for wondering if maybe OG or Bridges was actually our 2nd best player. Sorry, KAT.

And Huk is so bad that Raven’s schtick is beginning to eclipse Doogie correcting grammar.

Which would you rather see — Clarkson and Yabu trying to play defense, or the team shooting 19% from three?

Huk has not shown out, but he is leading the team in rebounds with 8 in 16 minutes, while also shoving KP around like a giant rag doll.

And I here he makes a mean spaeztle

Geo, a reason to have continued watching: Diawara fast break, behind the back pass to Kolek for two

Mikal can’t buy a shot tonight… But lots of the team is struggling.

Good news about Huk: he can board, he can body up big guys, he can make free throws

Bad news about Huk: pretty much everything else

Valiant effort but expending the energy with a game tmw probably not the wise move.

It was a heroic effort in that fourth quarter which was very nice to see, but it was too little, too late. Where was that aggression before? Inexplicable! It was not just that our shots were not falling tonight. When you don’t have it offensively you lean on your defense, but we couldn’t do that consistently either. For most of the game, the Hawks were getting anything they wanted both inside and outside.

Throw this one in the trash and get ready for tomorrow. Let’s hope this is not an extended slump.

8 points
17 rebounds, 7 offensive
4 assists
4 blocks
4-4 from the line
only 1 turnover and 2 personal fouls
28 minutes

Hubert, suck it.

Boo. Brunson angered the betting gods (refs) with that last second three against the spurs.

We shot 20% from three on 44 shots. You will never win an NBA game doing that. Never.

If the Hawks could trade Trae for a plus two way player they’d have a very bright future. They are probably better without Trae, but not quite good enough. They need another scorer, but one that defends and adds value.

did we load manage ourselves in to a loss tonight…was it a schedule loss…blame it on the nba wear and tear and injuries…

good news is – tomorrow’s game is only hours away…

It is good to know Julian Champagnie reverted to usual form with a crisp 2-11 from 3 tonight.

and he “only” had 16 rebounds/6 offensive tonite not 17/7 wonder who got that extra offensive rebound most likely candidate would be og

lafreniere panarin reinhart doing great for me tonite

Hubert, you’re an ass and a moron.

8 pts, 16 rebounds (6 offensive), 4 blocks, 4 assists and 4-4 from the stripe in 28 minutes is Mitch level balling. Except Mitch would get 0 assists, and he’d be 0-4 from the stripe, so he’d only score 4 points. Plus he can’t play 28 minutes.

So you know, drink bleach.

Was luckily spending QT with one of my kids rather than watching this… Bridges scoring 18 points on 19 shots and a +3 doesn’t seem that bad. I genuinely like Precious (especially 2024 Precious) better than Yabu. And while Clarkson is probably better than Payne, I’d rather have 15 mpg of Payne than 20 mpg of Clarkson.

This was a bad loss, but with KAT and Mitch out, it wasn’t THAT bad of a loss.

Coming up: 76ers, then @Pistons, then Clippers, then heading west @Suns, @Blazers, etc. In the next few weeks we will be seriously tested and get a much clearer idea what kind of a team we are this season. Either we get it done or things may get ugly.
