I’ll give Bill Simmons this much. He was complaining about the possibility of NBA expansion, not because there isn’t enough good players out there, but because if there are nine teams actively trying to lose, it just means that you’ll have eleven teams trying to lose in two years.
So… yeah, hard to argue with that.
In any event, enjoy the Nets actively trying to lose this game!
Let’s go, Knicks!
57 is still in play, and that’s okay!

Let’s gooooo Knicks!!
Look at us playing down to the competition!
I don’t know if Traore is any good at basketball, but you can open a can of tuna fish with his cheekbones.
Question answered! Bridges is cleared for contact, after all! 😂😂😂
Diawara in, which is nice. Also, looks like first team to 50 wins.
Ghastly game
Eight minutes in, and no team has gotten to double figures.
This might be the most pathetic 1st quarter Knicks have played all season and that’s saying something.
Five turnovers, three baskets.
For now, I’m only following the game here. How are we looking?
Edit: And after sending the comment, I see that we’re not looking good. 😛
NCAA quality game…
I think St. John’s would be up by 20 on us right now😂
Thh he is might be the worse quarter I’ve seen them ever have
Zuby of St. Johns expending more energy than entire Knicks squad
Thank God Yankees start on Wednesday cause not sure I can watch another Knicks regular season game. They’ll win most of their remaining games mind you but the entertainment value is absolutely zero.
82 game season to figure out the start of the game issues*
* playoffs won’t fix them
Not making excuses but I think it’s really hard to get up for these games against tanking teams. We’ll win eventually and we’ll all call it a bad win
But granted it is really hard to watch.
How can we be down to these guys? I guess if Siena can do it for a while why can’t they.
EASILY the worst half of the year so far. Eight turnovers, six shots made.
Shooting 25% and the same from three.
Only thing saving us, besides it being the Nets, is we’re dominating the boards and we have 6 steals (they’re almost as bad as we’ve been).
To say this resembles a preseason game is an insult to preseason games.
The Knicks have 8 turnovers and are shooting 25% from the field and are only down by 5. Which just shows how badly both teams are playing.
Terrible shot by Cap
Thank god, no more basketball, it’s mixed martial arts from here on in.
Somehow only down 6.
That was a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad half.
What’s up with brunson?
Time to start Alvy and move brunson to SG?
MMA is back…
I am flabbergasted.
Yea. That’s the word.
FLABBERGASTED
Imagine actually paying for a ticket to watch this crap
Mo looks active tonight
Brunson should’ve sat out again tonight, he’s moving in slow motion.
Here i am. Let’s win this.
Clarkson with a good assist !? What world is this? 😀
Is their strategy to triple team Brunson whenever he has the ball?
They were waiting for me 😀
Its hilarious how this soon to be 5 game winning streak have all played out identically.
I really just wanna get through this stretch of games against bad teams. No matter if we win by 30 or 10 there’s not a lot to get excited about.
Is anyone else watching the nba.com Brooklyn feed and seeing this rapper performing from the Hennessy lounge…that was freaking classic
The Knicks need to learn it is impolite to play with your food.
Nope. Clyde here. 🧡💙
I got excited about that Clarkson to OG dime, didn’t know he had it in him. 😉
Lady Raven insists that Jordan Clarkson is an elf.
What was the OG scuffle that they showed on the highlights?
Knicks Challenge coach needs all nba votes
There’s one and only one thing to get excited about.
Every Friday Knicks game, I’m reminded of the one great contribution that James Dolan has made to this team — Robert Randolph’s Friday Night song is just wonderful.
LOL. She’s funny. 😉
OG taking over
Credit where credit is due, these tanking teams always figure out a way to lose.
This is embarrassing.
Pathetic
Now Shamet has something wrong with his right knee and is questionable to return.
Cyber, it was a weird sequence — OG got fouled, the Nets guy didn’t seem to be doing anything except being very close and then OG shoved him in the chest. Seemed mostly OG, but it was offsetting techs.
Anyone see something else feel free to weigh in.
Thanks Raven. OG reacting to a play is… something! 😀
Let’s focus again, team.
Super glad Brunson is taking 2 minutes off the 24 second clock…
We’re in disarray
Wow we don’t deserve to win this.
Bridges is worthless
Bridges sucks. Sorry but he does nothing. This is embarrassing
How many guys on the Nets, who are making a 13-0 run, will be in the NBA is 2 years….. Sad
edit- answer ISM
I hope the Knicks get swept in the 1st rd.
Brunson is dribbling like my grandmother and she’s dead.
Let’s goooo
This is tanking 101…the nets put all their rookies and minot on the floor in crunch time…well played
Put Sochan in to confuse them with his green hair 😀
I’m at Barclays and the upside is there were no Nets fans to give us flack when it seemed like we might lose but the downside is there are no Nets fans to talk shit to now that it looks like we’ll win
KAT should be embarrassed for getting hyped after that basket.
Procrastination in a game
It’s kinda sad to hear “defense” chants when the home team has the ball.
Who says KAT can’t defend?
Me often
But not tonight. Great contest
Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. But really meh. These are the nba doldrums. March madness and opening day dominate the headlines. The Knicks are jockeying for 2nd or 3rd place in the east. All that matters is getting to the postseason healthy and then making a run. They have proven they can do it.
LOL
Gonna be hilarious when the Knicks win at OKC.
Let’s go Grizz!
I may have spoken too soon. Lol.
Torture
Oh dear…
I hope we fucking lose this game.
Dammit
are Knicks tanking?
Inspiring…
That was the worst win of the season.
I miss Riley and JVG cause I can only imagine what their post-game press conference after this game would be.
Brown needs to bench players who have no interest in playing
Let Dadiet , MCcullar and whoever else play
*nobody knows what seeding the Knicks actually want. The Playoffs are about matchups
Despite winning this game is going to destroy the Knicks SRS.
Nets win an Oscar for best appearance of not trying to tank.
We avoided the embarrassment, let’s forget this game and move on.
*the Cade news even if he is able to be ready for the playoffs will have teams looking to be in the 4/5 Matchup .
In all seriousness props to KAT for playing tonight, seems like his father is going thru health issues.
Shamet seems to be in a bad stretch here. Seems like he hasn’t played well in a while
X
Hart is banged up, Brunson is obviously also banged up, Shamet left tonight’s game with some type of knee issue and I noticed Bridges had something on his left shoulder he’s never worn before.
Deuce returning soon would be a nice much needed boost.
Everyone is banged up. Late season doldrums. Get healthy, stay healthy. Go to war in the playoffs. This is where the Mike brown experiment hopefully pays off. And they head into the playoffs with the most reserve energy they’ve ever had with this squad.
So my bad-ass wife was able to convince the bartender at the “sports bar” of our DR all-inclusive (Excellence Punta Cana, highly recommended) to put the Knicks game on. We watched the 4th quarter, and although it was annoying, a win is a win is a win.
BBA, please get a grip. You’ve devolved into a major buzz kill. I mean, saying that you hope the Knicks get swept in the first round? When they have won 5 in a row and are 21-7 in their last 28 games? What the fuck is wrong with you? Really, just watch the fucking Yankees and leave us alone with your thin-skinned shit.
Z-Man why dont you shut the fuck up and go root for the Hawks, Hornets, Raptors, Heat and the rest of the mediocre East teams you always say are gonna beat the Knicks.
Really BBA, you should be ashamed of yourself. You actually made a pledge to not do that shit during game threads any more. Yet tonight you were worse than ever. Do you have any self-awareness?
My bad I should’ve included KAT trade proposals since you’ve mentioned ad nauseum how badly you want to trade him!
Seriously though enjoy your vacation in the DR, I could probably use a nice vacation myself….
