    “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”

    *Kings and Grizzlies*

  2. Exhibit5

    Jokic felt like he couldn’t miss until he started shooting 3’s. No clue what that was about.

  3. HokageEzio

    Happy to donate to the “MVP Race Isn’t Over Yet” Fund.

    Season doesn’t end in January.

  4. First game I’ve attended in person fucking amazing

  5. Adam_brownies

    Credit to the Knicks, nuggets almost always execute in the clutch but they showed up today

  6. Over .500 for good. An actual winning season for the Knicks. I’m legitimately so proud of this team

  7. Potencyyyyy

    Knicks are scary.

    We are not, at least not right now. Our team defense is so trash.

    See you in 24 hours Brooklyn.

  8. Cudi_buddy

    Garden was electric in the 4th. Love that shit

  9. Fadetob1ack

    when RJ is efficient we are a completely diff team. Brunson and Randle are consistent enough so RJ is always the X factor.

  10. Professional_Map7271

    Huge win for the Knicks, you love to see it

  11. Niceguydan8

    I get the whole Jokic being a bad rim protector, but if teams can *also* hard target Murray and pick on him possession after possession, that’s going to be really rough for Denver in the postseason.

    He was getting destroyed today defensively.

  12. syllabic

    jalen brunson might not be an all star or all-nba but he’s our most important player this year

  13. tpieman2029

    If the kings actually get the one seed my constant shitposting of Sabonis being the mvp will no longer ironic and instead become fact.

  14. FEDORAS_4_SALE

    You gotta admit basketball is just better when the Knicks are competitive and MSG is rocking

  15. HibachiTyme

    Knicks still undefeated when Hart and Brunson play

  16. VonDestroyedNewton

    Winnable game. Some bad decisions here and there. Team is just cooked. Need to do better

  17. This team man… don’t want to get hurt again but they’re making me a believer.

  18. -unique-rabbit-

    the knicks have been looking really nice since the trade deadline, brunson is absolutely cooking

    jokic with six turnovers and 1-5 from three is just miserable, i remember the nuggets being good at the beginning of the year but it feels like a false memory berenstain/berenstein thing at this point

  19. Neuroxex

    Murray deserves a defensive lowlight compilation for that one. Disappointing, because he was incredible offensively.

  20. Astral_Wks

    Josh Hart won this game for the Knicks. He kept us in the game at the end of the 3rd.

    It’s unconscionable the Blazers let him go for what they did.

  21. Revenesis

    We’ll take on anybody in the playoffs, I have so much confidence in this team

    ^^^^Keep ^^^^Milwaukee ^^^^far, ^^^^far, ^^^^away

  22. CongenitalSwag

    Sixers fans are gonna celebrate the Jokic loss, when they should be concerned they just watched the team that’s gonna bounce them in the second round

  23. PrancingDonkey

    Mitchell Robinson had more offensive rebounds than the entire Nuggets squad lol.

  24. sparperetor

    Thank you NBA for putting this game on so early.

    Sincerely, a European Knicks fan.

  25. Man watching Knicks games always the best. They really have the best crowd/atmosphere and now they do have good team which plays physical (more fun to watch imo)

    Its gonna be annoying r/nba nephews going against Nuggets tho lol. Just wait the fucking playoffs then talk shit (if they indeed screw up)

  26. stummy_hurtin

    Knicks fan and Embiid fan I can’t lose 😭😭

  27. CrabCakesBenedict

    the hate from the sixers fans traveled up the jersey turnpike

  28. ImTheBestNerd

    Kings are now 4.5 games back from the first seed

  29. dwighthouser

    Murray’s defense lost Denver the game. Also, the Knicks are underrated and dangerous if they’re healthy.

  30. DarthNoved

    What a game! Everytime I tune into a Knicks home game the crowd is amazing and having Mike Breen as a commentator is definitely a plus that adds the cherry on top. This is probably the first year I can say I’m excited to see the Knicks compete in the playoffs
