2024-25 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Suns – The Sun is Shining

Oops, thought this was an 8pm game. My apologies.

Jalen Brunson is back, so the sun is shining!

Let’s go, Knicks!

The Dylan tune is, oddly enough, once again “Gonna Change My Way of Thinking” from Slow Train Coming.

Towns seems in fine fettle

Nice to have Deuce back too.

12 assists is great

Towns hearing about being traded for Durant:

“And I took that personally.”:

If Matt Ishbia had consulted one of us about the merits of listening to Isiah Thomas he might not have the most expensive roster in the history of the NBA that also pretty much sucks.

KAT KAT

Towns is getting whatever he wants.

Jones kinda looks like Shamet’s evil twin or vice versa…

Dunn is NOT ready for Prime Time.

Got tickets to this game for cheap. The suns offense is…not good. They’re running plays for Grayson Allen!

I’m a staunch “ball movement” guy but JB’s last drive shows that there’s always a “too much passes” threshold somewhere…

I am listening to my local team here in Phoenix…they are trying to keep it optimistic but you can tell they can’t wait for the season to end…

Hmm. Not bad, really, but much gelling still needed…

BC has the credit for the game thread.

Definitely a little sloppy at the end. I don’t hate that no lead is safe in basketball anymore, but I didn’t go to Duke.

BC has the credit for the game thread.

Doh! Sorry BC and thanks.

I don’t know what the Suns can get for KD but Beal’s contract has been a disaster since he signed it in Washington.

Josh with the 20-yards hurdles and OG’s magic potion still working…

This version of OG is our best player lol

If OG plays like this in the playoffs we can make some *real* noise. Wow.

If OG plays like this against Boston on Tuesday I’ll start to believe he can be a total game changer come playoff time.

We have also stopped passing and cutting.

One of the few times putting the starters back in late in the fourth meets with my approval.

Suns are probably going to play desperately now. They really need the game and they know the Knicks must be tired in the fourth quarter of the second game of a back to back.

Thibs makes a face that says ‘worst loss of the season.’

And I do NOT know why Brunson is in there. He’s at 28 minutes and he’s a defensive liability, he’s not good offensively yet. All he does is dribble too much.

Why is KAT just standing in the corner not being involved in the offense at all when he has a mismatch every time.

That was good, Jalen. Nine on the shot clock, so hold it for five…

50 wins in back to back seasons, let’s not take for granted how good the Knicks are.

If you were to tell me OG started drinking pickle juice last month I would buy 12 gallons.

50th win of the season in the bank, well done,
now if the Nuggets hold on…

This version of OG is a game changer if he can do this in the playoffs. And if Mikal is consistent as he is, we have scorers when teams game plan to take away Brunson and Towns.

But we need to keep them involved and not have a stagnant offense when the going gets tough

Well gaaaaaaaatdayummmm…game 78 of the season and it’s the first time we had everyone available lol

Oh..and 2 straight 50 burger seasons..we’ve come a long way under Leon and Thibs’ stewardship. Salute

An actual nine man rotation with reasonable total bench minutes. I’m impressed.

Draymond going full asshole vs the Rockets

From what I saw, Draymond got called for a flagrant foul while making a layup with both hands on the ball… seems like he’s getting DWB treatment from the refs these days. Maybe he deserves it, I don’t know. Seems a bit prejudicial.

Well those who want Precious out of the playoff rotation, looks like you’re getting your wish…

When I watched, Donnie, he was screaming at everyone on the Rockets and also the refs, then elbowed Sengun in the face and got a tech. And then continued to scream at everyone on the court.

The guy is an all time great but he’s a total psychotic on the basketball court

AND he clapped loudly and repeatedly in the ref’s face after the first T, so he should have immediately received a second T and an ejection. What an ass.

I dislike Draymond’s MO but this was a bullshit play. He was driving for a lay up and Sengun went down like the illegitimate love child of Sonny Liston in his second fight with Clay/Ali and soccer match.,

Horrible season finale, terrible season.

Wish I had those 8 hours of my life back.

Wish I had just watched that on a loop for 90 minutes instead of the White Lotus finale. Yeesh.

I was just about to start the season. Should I abort?

Oy. When the reports about the composer quitting because of creative differences came out it was not a good look.

I’m pretty sure OG went full Robert Johnson at a crossroad last month…

Post of the season. 😈

It was nice to see Brunson take a step back and let OG and Bridges continue playing at higher usage. OG is playing at an all-NBA level. It’s amazing to watch, but we will need Brunson at his best for the playoffs. If OG and Bridges can remain very efficient like this no one is going to want to play us.

The Pacers seem to have peaked at just the right time. They are going to be a tough out for anyone.

Abort, EB. Watch The Pitt. Watch Adolescence. Watch Dying for Sex. Watch almost anything else.

I don’t like the idea of steering people away from a season of television featuring both Carrie Coon and Walton Goggins, and yet here we somehow are. For that matter, go watch The Leftovers, The Shield, and/or Justified.

I enjoyed the season but thought the finale was a whimper and went nowhere
