The Philadelphia 76ers have one of the best starting lineups in the NBA, but they also have basically zero depth, so any injuries to their starters really fuck them, and Jaylen Brown is out tonight, so that’s good for the Knicks as the NBA Cup begins.
Let’s go, Knicks!
Back to .500, and then on to 58 wins!

Brown is out for tonight’s game
Let’s get this!
Mike Brown is hurt? Did he get hurt taking his glasses off and putting them back on?
Yeah!
Let’s drop a coin into The Cup (of a blind man at the gate.)
Don’t think that that won’t be a future Cup-related thread title. 😉
I figure for the main posts, I still go generic ledes.
One more cup of emirates for the road!
So, I guess we’re excited about the Cup now?
Forgot about the courts for the cup
Knicks still shooting like shit.
This is part of the repeat, right? Cup + Championship! 😀
Knicks wide open for 3! Brick.
Drummond continues to find himself surprised and lost in space when he gets the ball. He had NO idea where the basket was, or the defense. An easy step and slam, and instead he threw up some kind of shot putt.
Not the best start of all times
We can do MUCH better than this
Long live sportswashing!
I’m sure 33fg% and 18%3pt fg will get it done
Billy Mumy would like a word with Drummond, if he’s still alive (Mumy that is, not Drummond).
Embiid’s whistle is annoying
Still waiting for the Knicks to have a 1st quarter this season where they seem like they give a shit.
First quarters aren’t exactly the Knicks forte
First Quarters are overrated
We re Comeback Demons
We are indeed, but I wish we didn’t have to be.
Wade is embarrassing OG out there.
Sham has no wow tonight.
Oh no! Kolek makes a turnover!
Is that his first?
It was pretty bad, too…
Turnovers are killing us
Kolek has two TOs, dribbled off his foot on 1st touch
“Oh no! Kolek makes a turnover!
Is that his first?
It was pretty bad, too…”
He has two turnovers in this game.
I was hoping a rematch with Philly to avenge the opening night loss would bring out the championship Knicks but I guess not…
I must say that I like Maxey a lot, but I pretty much despise everyone else on the Sixers.
I don’t know why so many people seem to like Maxey so much. I mean that sincerely. I mean, he’s a good player, but there are lots of good players, so……. what else?
Mikal with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal. Yawn.
Knecht on the active roster tonight; McCullar is not.
That was obnoxious.
Doogie, I’m a huge fan of speed, and Maxey has afterburners. Plus he’s a really good athlete with amazing control in the air.
But really it’s his smile.
Fitting ending to the half, Knicks flailing away until time runs out.
Considering the turnovers and the shooting % disparity, lucky to be down by 9
We play like shit
you mean like black beauties and 747’s?
Don’t think he means that.
Yeah, he is definitely one of the fastest players in the NBA, that’s for sure.
“We play like shit”
And the Sixers ain’t the Bulls, so…….
Maxey is likeable
Embiid is Not
Knicks have 5 players with 7 points and KAT has 9
Balanced scoring fwiw
just got home…was feeling oddly sad on the way home…boys staying home for halloween, dropped off doja doggie with ma and sis, daughter is out living life and having fun…home alone…
saw the score of the game…decided it may be best to check in a little later…wait for those dark cherry cordials to cool down in the fridge…
the quiet is nice…
Doogie, McCullar was waived so how he be on the active roster?
tyrese maxey has maximum likeability…his personality shines bright…
Maxey and turnovers are killing us.
Things could be worse
Still digging our hole
