The Knicks finished a weird ass road trip, and now take on the Pellies at home.
This is the Knicks’ 20th game, the magical moment when you are allowed to have a take on the team. Let’s hope it is a win!
Let’s go, Knicks! Winning two straight is the start for 58!

Measuring stick game……….not
Here we go: LGFK! 🏀💙🧡💙🏀
Gooooo Knicks! 🧡💙
Love the trade
We have Clyde! Thank God!
Mikal just passed on attacking the basket to clank a 3P
The Gotham Sports app is off to a worse start than Mikal Bridges
And all with 16 seconds on the offensive clock… or was it 18?
14-3 , this time they came out to play from the jump.
That last move by KAT is so ridiculously good for a guy his size.
Is that possible? 🤭
A-Rod is truly a New York sports legend for contributing to the Minnesota Timberwolves’ dicey financial situation
Og looks bad now too…like he’s sleepwalking through this
Very weak move at the rim on OG’s fastbreak…
This Brunson to Mikal play, after Mikal pointed it to Brunson first was cool
Holy shit what a block by OG!!
That was some block.
You can add anything to do with Dejounte Murray to the list of Knicks counterfactuals that are obviously worse than what we did instead
The Mikal Bridges game?
OAKAAK Elfrid Payton in the house 🙂
Nice of the Pelicans to do everything in their power to make our defensive rating look good at the Magical 20-Game Mark
As I was saying, we stole Mikal for a measly 5 picks!
Looks like Deuce is 39% from 3P land, but he’s the one i always think the ball will go in when it lefts his hands. Amazing!
Uhh, okay!
RJ with 13 points on six shots in 10 minutes.
Pure schizophrenia
This is the part of the cartoon where the coyote receives the package from the Acme company. Everything seems promising, yet you know it’s going to blow up in his face
Zion misses more games than he plays?
Looking good looking good!
mikal does show up for work, every single day, I’ll give him that…
OG – the dunk machine
seems OG likes playing power forward, or at least he does it equally as well as playing small forward…
Edit: interesting post style above, point for creativity…
Lot of defensive rebounds available, KAT says thanks…
ISM is helping a lot today, and the Pelicans have very few good players available, but the defensive effort does look a bit better today.
Not a good game for the Dejounte Murray fan club… a good game for the Mikal Bridges is going to be fine camp.
If Towns and OG could hit a shot we would have mercy ruled these guys already.
Mike says the same thing almost every season about him giving away answers to the trivia questions, while he’s announcing…
he’s right, come april or so he’ll be guessing aloud once again…
“Rejected by the rim, Mike”
Clyde is hilarious! 😀
LOL! It’s the blockquote party !! 😉 😀
Towns might get 30 boards tonight
Got bored with the blowout!
The Pellies are kind of hilariously bad, so that’s better than boringly bad, I guess! A fiasco is better than just sucking.
Dejounte looks good…
Saquon is going to win MVP.
I hate that the Gotham Sports app on the best TV in our house requires me to log in every single time I use it. Especially since I’m trying to use more difficult passwords these days on anything tied to a method of payment.
This is just what the doctor ordered after a six and a half hour drive to cap off Thanksgiving weekend….
Alan, can’t you cast from your phone?
Once again I had forgotten Dejounte was on the Pelicans this year
ok so Mikal is at +33
who do we call out next?
It’s awful, I can’t think of any other similar app that doesn’t at least have a “keep me logged in” option. I have to fire it up a full ten minutes before game time to make sure I don’t miss anything.
Missi looks good, at least the Pelicans have something
Imagine if we had won the Zion lottery
Refs trying their best to get the Pelicans back into the game.
we’d have another big injured all the time?
I posted this a few days ago, but picking 3rd didn’t turn out all that bad, considering that we ended up with OG
Defense looking kind of slack this quarter, lots of dunks and layups here for the Pels.
I feel like I watch this team and either they are a putrid disaster, or they eviscerate the opposition.
Either way, I’m not loving it! Much prefer this outcome of course.
Watching Hartenstein crush it for the Thunder is kinda heartbreaking tbh.
Brunson has found Bridges for layups 3 times today on beautiful passes
Make that 4 times!
LOL
If Bridges has a strong game against the Magic Tuesday, it’s all aboard the Mikal bandwagon!
Who or what is a Drew Peterson?
The White&Brown-less Celtics are playing him a lot while leading the mighty Cavs by 12 in Cleveland…
Total Mikal “FU Knickerblogger” game!
Good for him.
RJ torching the Heat.
not much contact though, nor much, if any, time on the ground, from being off-balance…
More importantly I think Bridges looked a little more energetic on defense also.
okay, who is this number 20 guy with all the hair, and the zorro facial hair look…
Cam Payne ain’t bad
I don’t think jericho sims completely sucks anymore either…
I do miss huk a bit though…
Bridges has 28 points, but hasn’t shot a free throw
Not a bad way for Dolan to spend $3,003,427 that’s for sure.
35 points with 12 minutes to go aren’t enough to watch some Kolek or Hukporti?
(Dadiet played, not too well, in Westchester earlier)
Edit: make it 40…
What will it take for Thibs to release the incredible Huk from the dungeon
In before “40 pts up bring on the rookies Thibs”
fake edit: beaten
seriously though Thibs. bring on Pacman
Biden changed his mind and issued a pardon to his son.
Holy shit Thibs emptying the bench super early!
Holy cow
Huk
thibs giving the people what they want…
Dolan used to torture us with those lolKnicks teams, now it seems he only tortures some of us with the Gotham Sports app.
looking forward to thibs getting annoyed when the pelicans cut it to 35 and bringing back all the starters
I can’t get enough of the Matt Ryan-Incredible Huk two men game…
Thibs going to mess up our defensive rating by pulling the starters!!!!!!
Huk looking very raw. Also very big.
VERY big!
THE GRAVEDIGGER!
Ok Ryan, let the other guys shoot too. 😀
Gravedigger is now digging a hole for himself.
Ryan is a little trigger happy
Donovan Mitchell is on a serious heater right now
Yeah, very impressive!
Celtics Cavs might be a better watch right now now.
There’s a reason they call it garbage time…
Westbrook likes it 😛
this was such an ass kicking I got bored and stoped watching but I suppose I can’t complain about that
Bridges finished with a +40.
In no space time continuum should 30 seconds take 30 minutes. That said, the Cavs Celtics game was as good as expected. (The only thing that can stop Cleveland is the Atlanta Hawks.)
if pritchard had just stood there the ball was coming off the rim straight at him…good shot, poor timing…
Kenny Atkinson went full euro coach,
the Cavs didn’t even let the Celtics try the potential tying-three in 3 straight possessions, they fouled and fouled and fouled.
The last minute did feel like an hour!
Edit: meanwhile in Houston the Rockets and Thunder are both playing well…
Bridges already put the next pels game on his calendar
Interesting point by Wally and Monica. Apparently the Knicks have held opponents to under 100 six times so far this season, apparently the same number of times as all of last season.
Doesn’t seem right, but it’s pretty interesting if true.
Obviously, only so much you can take away from the performance against a team that’s as much of a mess as the Pels are right now. But nonetheless, a Mikal breakout game was pretty desperately needed right now. So I’ll take it, regardless of the circumstances. Especially given that we struggled this past week against teams in various states of depletion and/or suckitude lately in Utah, Dallas, and Charlotte (even though we won there).
hartenstein is good, sengun is even much better…
One cannot judge what we are based on today’s game. These games are for either doing what you are supposed to do or getting embarrassed. Tuesday is a good test to see where we stand. Judgement Day or sorts. I don’t think we are the favorites.
Lol, all I have to say is I wish I had time to read this thread.
Somehow I missed that the Rockets are good now. Another example that it doesn’t have to take 19 unwatchable years to build a good team.
The Rockets are coming together nicely… it really feels like Udoka is a pretty great coach and got them playing much much better.
FVV scoring 38 on that defense is pretty impressive
12:8 for the first 20. Are we who we thought we were?
Will Hardy erased the game-winning layup for the Jazz by calling timeout. I’ve never seen that before.
Meanwhile the Grizz have quietly improved to 14-7
Katz: “After tonight’s performance, the Knicks now lead the NBA in points per possession.”
Grimes with 28 points on 13 shots?!?
rama’s take on the Grimes trade looking absolutely clairvoyant right now…
The Grizzlies should have been good last year if it weren’t for bad luck (sort of) and injuries. Shouldn’t be surprising that they’ve come back strong.
It also shouldn’t be all that surprising that the rockets are good. They have a strong young coach and some leadership in FVV.
At the end of the day, the West looks formidable.
