2025-26 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Kings

The Knicks should get their revenge on the Kings at home tonight.

That would make this a three-game winning streak.

Let’s hope that they just DO that, ya know?

Let’s go, Knicks!

Feeling…I mean, it’s not impossible…about 58!

Sigh, can’t get no respect. Watched the summary of our last game, announcer goes “Look at Mitchell Robinson go!” when Huk blocks a shot at the rim…

Very exciting to see our old pal Precious. Very much hoping we see not a minute of his reputed replacement…

From the announcers , the Kings are the third oldest team in the league. Who are the other two? I suspect the Clippers are one, but I can’t think of another old team.

the kings are starting freaking russell westbrook and precious…

you would have to really suck at basketball to lose to a team like that…

oh wait, that just happened to us not very long ago, at all…

Go Shamet Go!

Also, I’m guessing that Bridges maybe heard that Knickerblogger was complaining about his morale?

My eyes are literally tearing like there’s pepper in them from watching Yabu try to play defense…

It’s funny how bad the Kings are when you consider there’s a chance they have the most future hall of famers on any roster in the NBA

The announcers finally answered the question. It’s the Clippers and the Warriors.

Yeah Clyde had a nice run of O alliteration

And Mitch getting his flowers I love too….

I’m really coming around to liking Landry Shamet. Consummate pro. And seems like a good guy.

50 some odd years later…clyde: yeah, they used to let earl carry the ball all the time…

way to hold on to some shit for forever clyde…nice…

Yeah, that was funny. And the Stanford kid backed out of bounds as Mitch closed out.

Mitch!!!

They’re also repeatedly passing up wide-open shots to try and do something cute. Just shoot it.

Lotta problems, but it sure has been a long time since I thought to myself “KAT is having a really good game!”

It’s funny, BBA, I really want to blame that quarter on Brown. Tear these assholes a new one, coach.

This collection of guys just doesn’t work for whatever reason. Ian Begley was on multiple shows today saying that a major move wouldn’t shock him. The 2Q was trash. Those turnovers were a joke.

Hardly a perfect measure but last year KAT’s average BRef game score was 20.4.

Last time he got there was was December 27 against the Hawks.

You guys are complaining, but think about how nice it is of us to show the younger fans how Russell Westbrook looked in his prime?

Knicks don’t challenge the obvious bad out of bounds call in the 1st quarter but they waste their challenge on that call, unbelievable.

Forget about being the worst loss of the season, this would be the worst loss in franchise history.

what do you think we call the play keep running where og hits a jumper after the shot clock expires

OG clearly playing his own internal game, how many shots can I make that don’t count? He’s excellent at it.

Why does Brown play that same 5 major time that Thibs couldn’t get going

And the young players Dolan is talking about don’t touch the court

So what was the point of hiring him

Knicks have become such an unserious team its incredible.

Thibs culture might mean something

“not necessarily a good shot there from Towns” – Clyde being kind

Meanwhile, Blazers just lost to the Wizards. Jrue Holiday 2-for-14, Grant 3-for-10.

Maybe guys hearing their names in trade talks is taking its toll.

…This y’all trade candidates

Knicks had a 75 offensive rating and a 37 turnover rate with Jalen Brunson off the court tonight.

Kolek somehow can’t play

If my grandkids ever ask me about what might be a double digit win that occurred on January 27, 2026 I will make sure they’re aware it was fucking aggravating

Unfortunately I won’t be alive by the time TNFH has grandkids to tell them about this masterpiece…

LOL! Me neither…

Actually now that I think about it if TNFH has a kid in the next few years and they have a kid in the next 20 to 25 years I should still be alive but dunno if I’ll have the mental capacity to still be posting on Knickerblogger.

Winning by 16 is truly hilarious considering how miserable I was for like 80% of this game

So many potential comments to make here, but I’ma just watch them go by

I’ve always loved Mitch, and, well, I continue to love Mitch.

Yay, Mitch!

Agree rama not sure if I currently have the mental capacity to be posting on Knickerblogger…

They played six good minutes down the stretch and got the win only because SAC is so bad. I don’t know what to make of this game.

Yay Mitch but unfortunately he probably won’t play tomorrow. I have a feeling though despite the back to back Knicks will pull it out like they did in Philly. They’ve already whooped Toronto twice this season.

I don’t know BBA, you made your mind up to be more measured during the game this year, and well – you are…

seems like you got a pretty good grip on things to me…

I have a suspicion Mitch might be available for tomorrow. He looks physically fine. Not that we have any chance if we play like we did tonight but who knows which Knicks team will show up in Toronto.

OG, Deuce, Mikal, and Mitch with Brunson is a good closing lineup. More or less the one we’ve been arguing about, looking for numbers to support it – but it seems obvious watching them, so good on D, able to hit shots around Jalen, able to get key boards.

dunno if I’ll have the mental capacity to still be posting on Knickerblogger.

I intend on sticking around regardless of my mental capacity, but you’ll all know I’m losing it if I start reminiscing fondly about Frank Ntilikina

however meh this stint has been, you can’t help but look at the kings and remember that we’ve won 4 in playoff series in 3 years after going 22 seasons winning 1

A pride night win. Beat the kings for the queens. Teasing that throttle. Towns is like a human rope a dope.

I think that there is virtually no chance that Mitch plays tomorrow. He could, but it’s not worth messing with. There are no B2B’s in the playoffs, so just keep resting him for one leg of each remaining B2Bs (yikes there are 8 more after this one!)

I would also say that tomorrow’s game will have something close to playoff intensity, so run Huk out there and let’s see what he’s got. Maybe a bit of Diawara too.

Of course, Brown is gonna feature Yabu, which might cost us the game.

Towns is like a human rope a dope.

ha 😊

i’ll say though joel embiid looks no more nimble and agile than mister KAT and he gets an amazing whistle…

KAT is a really nice luxury piece to have on the roster, hopefully he can win us some games or a series in the post season…

Jamal Murray pulling a Nick Anderson vs the Pistons. Two chances to tie the game with 3 FTs and he misses both times.

Detroit is a charmed team.

Holy crap, OG had 7 turnovers?

Well, two of them are not his fault, he got the ball too late in the clock and even scored, only it was a hair past the violation.
