As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us all say our thanks to Mark Cuban for being such a complete moron that he strung Jalen Brunson along when the dude was begging to sign him long term for, like, $9 million a year or some shit. Cuban was, like, “Yeah, but if I sign him to that deal, I won’t be able to trade him this season. I could easily trade him next season, but I want to be able to trade him now for a ‘star.'”
You fucking moron, Cuban.
Thank you so much!
And I’d be very thankful if the Knicks could repeat Monday night’s beatdown.
Let’s go, Knicks! We give thanks to 58 wins in the bank…s!

Mentally steeling myself for Brunson going 1-21
I’m preparing for OG going 4 – 15 and spending Thanksgiving debating about whether he’s overpaid and we’d be better off with RJ and Quickley.
I’m so flattered! I feel like Joaquin Phoenix at the end of the first Joker movie.
Wait we still have an hour left, right? I’m so confused. 😵💫 Go Knicks?!
You’re more like Joaquin Phoenix in the second Joker movie.
Because no one paid attention to it?
Brunson vs. Kyrie. Two men enter…
Luka, Klay, and Gafford all out. But so is Kolek so toss up really.
KAT KAT!
Hubert with an early candidate for best post of the thread…
Let’s Go Kniiiiiiicks!
Oh goodness, Grimes starting!
That layup attempt was Hart’s first of his two guaranteed brain farts.
That pass from KAT holy shit!
On pace for a final score of 48-48!
Shit it’s the opposite of last game, only Bridges can make a shot
The NBA should just redefine traveling. Change it to something like 3 steps without a dribble since refs seldom call actual travels. Guys shuffle their feet then take a step wayyyyy too often in the nba
Grimes still playing for NY tonight
Edit: well, not there
And now the quota is filled…
Mavs interior defense pretty solid, Towns got his shit thrown back in his face
I’m feeling a Mikal trip to the line tonight. The boldest call of them all.
This Marshall’s basket says it all…
They made too many shots on Monday
This is gonna be a slog
Gummy offense. Don’t even know what that means, but it’s the term that comes to mind.
Well it’s early, but we’re shooting 18% and 0-5 from three…
They better wake up asap, I have a family funeral to attend tomorrow, I’m not in the mood to lose sleep over this shit…
Can we just play Denver again
God they’re playing badly.
Katz was right about OG passing the ball at the end of the shot clock
Repeat after me: “first quarter leads are meaningless, first quarter leads are meaningless…”
Sims letting Kyrie get his own rebound on the miss is going to get Huk some playing time
I blame Cronin
10 points per quarter times four quarters is … ?
Nice to get a friendly whistle for once
well that quarter was fucking gross
The ball literally rolls past three Knicks who have their backs turned.
fellas is shooting 19% from the field good or bad?
The good news is- we have the type of offense where we can say shit like “we’re only down 13” this early in the game lol
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Knicks aren’t putting up 145 pts tonight.
Well we’re up to 19% shooting, although 0-8 from three.
Another game we’ve lost in the first 5 minutes. Looks like we can’t compete against any decent defense
That sucked horsedick
From 145 points in a game to 45 points in a game?
Who’s up for a fake comeback followed by us Never taking the lead
We got used to that thin air in Utah and Denver. It’s throwing off our aim. 😉
They’re drunk and/or high…
Defense is putrid. Dallas doesn’t have enough weapons out there to score this easily
Towns now 1-5 on shots he normally makes like butter, and that’s not including the and-1 he blew.
Hart borrowing from the brain fart bank.
Not a good sign when Kyrie has 5 points and they’re kicking our ass
Have we completed a single comeback this season or such an allegedly good offensive team? How do we have so little resiliency?
Never mind. After this game we’ll probably be out of the top five in offensive rating
This is why a good team needs good defense. You lean on it when shots don’t fall. We started well defensively but keep getting worse as the game progresses. We shall see. Mavs D not just decent; it is very good.
Jesus Fucking Christ OG… 🤦🏻♂️
Hart doubles up on the allowable brain farts.
this game is cursed
Strat said
There goes my Thanksgiving
Hooboy
Grimes drawing a charge means this place will burn like a cyber truck tmw
I may go buy a ton of liquor rather than watch this.
And I may stay off the site tomorrow.
And I think OG has used up his dunks for the year.
This team gets completely dogwalked more than most “good” teams that I recall. Seems like we just get completely throttled in most of our losses.
Cap wants to bring us back
One thing about elite defenses is that they tend to be more consistent than elite offenses. Even elite offenses suffer from variance.
Far from over
Good shooting comes and goes. Good defense is effort and habit.
This has been slow torture but since this version of the Mavs sucks we can still probably win. Gonna need a few more of them made shots though.
I don’t think Sims is hopeless. Not destined to be a starter, but I think a value backup big is possible.
Pretty funny that Mikal’s the only guy who can hit the ocean from a boat.
Sims hit his head on the backboard, ow
Really bad refereeing, but they’re not making them miss shots.
Now would be a great time for Mikal Bridges to stop sucking
Worst half (offensively and defensively) of the season so far?
Rough
Ruff ruff
Well at least that half-court heave won’t significantly impact Mikal’s three point average…
Asphalted by a Mavs team missing Luka and Klay (and Gafford), sigh…
OG, Hart, and KAT a combined 2-21
My wife actually watched a few minutes with me. Of course I told her the Knicks had a good offense and then this.
I’m beginning to develop a very strong love hate relationship with this team…
I blame myself. Way too much positivity since the last game. I left the doom to others.
I won’t be let the tram down like this again.
Turning this one off though, we don’t do comebacks. Hello purgatory my old friend…
The Knicks never adapted to the physicality and ball pressure of the opposing defense and never got into any rhythm. Defensively, they played well at the beginning and the end of the half. Once again, the opposing team drops 60 on us before the break. Not good. Not good.
Dude isn’t Clyde, but props for the attempt at whatever that is
This is not our night.
Ok, if Towns can start hitting from outside, maybe we get it to 10 by the 4th
Well we did get a Mikal layup out of it
Here i am… in time for the comeback! 🧡💙
Here comes the Josh Hart experience
It will come to down to playoff success, but I woulld take the odds on a new coach being here next season
I guess we’re not getting another 46 minute video tomorrow about how great OG Anunoby is.
I’m one more clanked three away from calling for Dadiet
Let’s put this in single digits
Wow, worst game I’ve seen from OG….just terrible in every aspect
Dallas is trying to help us out – in the penalty early
just checked out the score
now checking out
have fun
Thibs just fucking sit Anunoby for a bit he’s fallen over like three times this quarter
We need to have an eight man rotation for this
Just play the kids for the fourth, see if they can get anything cooking. The starters are not salvaging this one
og is doing that thing your dog does when he’s just not having any more of the walk
If Dinwiddie is going to do that, again, it’s just not our night
I suppose Dinwiddie is as good a Knicks killer as anyone
Tomorrow is going to be a wonderful E thread
Dim-witty defense
Grimes thinks he is a lot better than he really is, right?
Just got back from dinner and OG is 1-12. Wow. 8%.
Yikes not even a fake comeback. Just a wite to wore blowout against a team missing a guy who would be the best player in the history of our franchise by far.
This team sucks.
uhh, I guess I’m thankful this road trip is over
Can’t get back without getting stops
We got our usual tariff of 120 points or more dropped on us. When our beautiful offense has it going, we can score more, win, and think we are a great team. No, we are not! Tonight we were exposed again. It’s not working folks! Our only hope is that that April is still far away. Urgency is building up. We need to make changes! We need stops! We need defense!
Cavs lost at home by 11 to Atlanta.
The Quentin Grimea Sumner game
Still playing our starters with 1.30 left down by 14. Unconscionable.
Well, um, we did beat them in the third and fourth quarters…
TNFH didn’t even get his wish of a Bridges free throw
Seems pretty clear that the Mavs are a better team than us.
I need a refund for the hour of sleep that i lost watching the 2nd half! LOL
They’re very fortunate they beat the Nuggets and have a chance to finish the road trip with a winning record.
*Kyrie Irving is now 19-2 in his last 21 games against the Knicks
Knicks lost the 3 point line by 30 points
That’s how you can sum up wins and loses in Today’s NBA
