The Knicks begin a big West Coast road trip with a visit to Denver to take on a walking wounded Nuggets team that still has Jokic and Murray, so they’re still a team that you need to pay attention to!
Let’s go, Knicks!
58 is still theoretically possible, which is great!
I would really like the Knicks to at least finish 2nd in the East!

So is Monica doing the announcing tonight???
She is! Interested to see how it goes.
The timeout at 4-2 in interesting. Not sure what that is about
Yeah, there is a thing called ‘defensive rebounding’…
Add screen navigation…
Well, we look terrible.
This crowd is vor-ciferous (as Clyde would say)
Yet another game in which the starting lineup falls behind.
At some point they should stop trying this over and over.
It works with bad teams, but good teams exploit it too easily.
Hart just kills this offense
Add paint penetration…
Add energy…
OMG, we started really bad.
Nice take Josh. He’s done some good stuff too
We may need to win the bench minutes. Looking at you Mo
KAT has done his dumb thing for the night
That is a great Mitching
I know I’m a broken record, but I truly don’t get trading for KAT and then never playing 5 out. Like, why are you spending 60m/year on him?
And he hasn’t helped the defense either.
If Hart is leading the team in FGAs, you know you are doing exactly what the other team wants you to.
MITCH
Three alley oops to Mitch
Where has this been all my life?
I wonder if that was the first successful OG to Mitch alley oop?
Mitch!
Mitch is going to go for 40
Mitch looks engaged
I’m fine with the score, given we started poorly and still haven’t entirely found rhythm. We got this Denver team. We just need to impose our game.
WTF was that?
That looks like a cheap shot to me
Love the adjustment of attacking Jokic on D, who is def cheating off Mitch to help on the paint.
Knicks have the worst whistle in the league. My god
You are allowed to grab the other dude’s balls and it’s a common foul?
Great drive Shamet. Been doing that a lot
Love this response by the Knicks
Bit of a momentum killer
Bullshit call AND tech on Mikal.
Ball don’t lie.
BS technical there, if they gave a double foul on Towns earlier.
Ball don’t lie
Knicks gonna have to stay composed because refs are on one tonight
I say this every time I see him but Jonas Valanciunas remains the last guy you wanted to see coming off the Viking longboat first
Getting in the bonus is great
Check outside if the world is still ok. KAT got a call!
I love how they are defending Murray. Not one inch of space.
we are in it to win it so far…
Love the way this team is competing
Yeah, I felt there were a few tacit admission of fault calls there to make up for the nut-tap
Second quarter adjustment. Kudos to the coach on this one. He was getting lose a lot early on.
It’s amazing how getting a good defensive player (Jose), giving minutes to another one (Mo) and not playing a terrible one (Clarkson) as well as bad ones (Kolek) has made this defense better. Everyone else stepped up too, but the personnel change made a difference.
I am so happy I don’t have to watch Clarkson
What a shot by Jokic, incredible
So many fouls.
OG does this once a month and I love it so much
He will be 1-8 next game but whatever
Keep shooting, OG.
OG the killer
just prior to the start of a recent game mikal was bouncing around the court doing different elaborate handshakes with different teammates…
when he got to OG, OG like half heartedly raised his fist to give him a simple dap…
OG is just on another level of cool…
My main takeaway so far is we cannot under any circumstances lose Mitchell Robinson
I don’t remember the Knicks looking for Mitch as much as they are doing today.
These betting ads are so fucking annoying
Every time we get a clean fast break bucket like that I think about the twenty years between 2000-20 when we didnt have a single fast break bucket.
Their defense is not great
That’s not an offensive foul.
Not even close to an offensive foul
Nuggets are cursed. Murray gets hurt the day Gordon comes back? Geez.
How do you not get the basket there?
yay, that’s one for the good guys…
OG is having himself a game…great defense on joker…
KAT has given up his shooting to power up his rebounding.
Brunson with 2 points Knicks up 13
Up 13 at the half after that lackluster start? I will certainly take that.
Especially with Jalen being 1-8.
On pace for 72 combined FTAs this game. Refs, can you chill a bit.
kind of bizarre halftime event…
proves the point, something doesn’t have to be all that good to grab your attention…
probably a lot cheaper than a red panda performance too…
So now we can just trade baskets with Joker. He gets 60 we win by 13.
It will take a 38-23 quarter every day of the week and twice on Sundays! We clearly outhustled them and imposed our game. Jokic is our biggest problem. If you double him, he’ll pick you apart anyway. Pick your poison. Also, they shot 21 free throws in two quarters. We got to clean this up.
The Mike Brown defense is very legit,
Brown with a very quick hook on Mo, he clearly wants this fucking game
OG is doing great, and his drives are terrific!
Some ugly turnovers. Just make the Jokic minutes neutral, guys.
OG is a freaking menace tonight
First KAT trailer in a week.
Man, our defense was good there
Oh yeah OG
OG keeps forcing the nuggets to call a timeout…
OG is no RJ!
That defensive sequence had serious Charles Smith vibes
What an awesome OG game. He also has 6 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals.
I’m ok with Jokic scoring – Nuggets become dangerous when the others are scoring.
