at the beginning of the year, i said 50 wins. then they start the season stumbling up and down and so did my prediction down to 7th or 8th seed. second half they started getting it together i said maybe 6th seed. now with the hart trade everything is clicking so they're 5th now. they have only two games left with teams ahead of them so they gotta win those. but since cleveland has only two more wins than the knicks and they can't score, i do think the knicks are a legit 4th seed team
edit: they have 18 games left and would need to go 13 – 5 to end up with 50 wins. can they do it?
No reason for starters to still be in the game up 25+ in the 4th
Knicks are looking scary asf.😬👀
Both teams playing the old Matador defense.
Man Grimes has such a Allan houston looking 3pt stroke…hope he continues to grow
Ever game, all of 7 of them, Josh Hart has at least one drive where he goes coast to coast. This is is a dawg and fully understands what it means to play in New York. We need a versatile 6'8 wing and it's over. Regardless of where we end the season, this is going to be the most important off season for the front office.
Tom Thibodeau is the best coach in the NBA hands down, I wish my Celtics having him instead of Beavis and the other guy.
…
I’m a knicks fan but After that Kyrie/Durant trade they suck they lose big leads horrible decision I woulda kept one of the two but let’s go Knicks 🎉
Let’s go Knicks ❤
Its literally A new york vs new York game 🤣
I don’t see the nets remaining in Brooklyn much longer! The knicks outsell them everytime, even wen the Knicks were a joke n the Nets were contenders!! Remember Harden had to make a video begging fans to buy tickets cause they weren’t selling out? That tells u all u need to kno
giving up 142 in regulation is kinda crazy for a dpoy candidate w/ some of the best 3 and d wings in the game
Funny watching the fans slowly spawn in after halftime
Where is Big Ben Simmons
Nets made the worst trade and this is the result.
"Shot did count, however, the game is now over"😅
Nice blowout, guys.
If my Knicks win a series Im buying a jersey. Only if we win a series though last one i bought was before the Pacers series (Melo). Was gonna buy one last playoffs but we didn’t win against the Hawks. Still undecided on whose to get. Looking like Brunson tho.
Who jersey y’all got from this current roster.?
The knicks only need one more piece, and they will be Champs, Brunson is better than Kyrie,
Josh hart on the fastbreak is a thing of beauty
The ref at the end 😂 gave no fuks
Kyrie and KD was here just a moth a go 😢
8:31 from now on, THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY KNICKS!! if y'all played this hard every game, not only y'all would win more but would be one of the best teams & would have better chances to reach that goal of a championship, great game Knicks, NYC don't let up baby
Hats off to NY GM!
The modern 90s Knicks are in the house !!!! They are complete and balanced. Their defense is top notch and these Knicks enjoy playing hard. Jalen Brunson is proving to everyone that he deserves that contract and is a true All Star. Congratulations !!!!
These stupid friggin ads GET ON MY NERVES!
I remember Jacque Vaughn subtly throwing shade at Cam Thomas' three 40+ points games saying they still lost 2 of those. At least it was close and against a healthy & complete Clippers and Suns. So not starting CamT, are they winning now?
I've never seen Mitchell Robinson move around so well.
Bring Lance Stevenson to the Brooklyn nets they will be better off an more competitive. Lance Stevenson IS BETTER THAT ANYONE RUNNING POING GUARD ON THE NETS AN ITS SAD WHERE HE AT. THE LEAGUE NEED TO QUICK BLACKBALLING MESSING UP PLAYERS CAREERS BECAUSE OF FAVORITISM. HE HELP LEBRON WITH A LIL HELP THEY COULDNT MAKE IT WITH EACH OTHER AN GOT BLACKBALLED. Brooklyn needs too do something quick the hype for now keep developing but make good decisions. Lance, melo, a good two or three shooters, and two big men one that could be modern with threes.
Quigley reminds me of Tyrese Maxie. Everytime they play each other I get confused
Cam and Mikal been playing well but can't win with this team. You have a bit of a problem when your best 2 players were the 4th and 5th best players on their previous team.
Knicks may be the scariest team heading into the playoffs. Brunson is such a natural leader, hes starting to become one of my favorite players, and I'm glad this young man is getting noticed (though they did him dirty with the all-star game).
Free Cam Thomas
The terrible situation that Brooklyn has been forced into should not be allowed to happen. They went from an elite almost 'All-Star' team to the bottom of the barrel with Spencer Dinwiddie as perhaps their best player. Durant, Harden, and Irving are all gone. The Nets have gone from an embarrassment of riches to an embarrassment of depth. As they try to avoid becoming just an embarrassment, they have to figure out how to narrow down a roster that contains at least a dozen players deserving of minutes. Seth Curry, who had been out with a left adductor strain, was active Wednesday against the Heat for the first time in six games, adding one more wing to a roster filled with them. The Nets entered play completely healthy, which served as another challenge to head coach Jacque Vaughn. In trading away Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, the Nets added fringe pieces to a crowded puzzle. Mikal Bridges, Dorian Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson and Spencer Dinwiddie — all acquired in the trades of the two superstars — started Wednesday alongside Nic Claxton. Among those available off the bench were Curry, Ben Simmons, Royce O’Neale, Joe Harris, Cam Thomas, Edmond Sumner and Yuta Watanabe. Absent a true backup center, Day’Ron Sharpe likely will see bursts of minutes. Not included is Patty Mills, who still is capable of catching fire from deep. Sumner — who had sat for three games — had been the lone true casualty without Irving and Durant, as the Nets won one of their first three matchups since the trade deadline. Dinwiddie had handled the ball with the starting unit, and Thomas had been the ball-handler to come off the bench. The Nets have sought the right lineup combinations for a misconstructed roster that is lean on stars and creators and heavy on shooters, defense and arm length.
In this Nets’ loss Monday to the Knicks, Vaughn played 13 different players, though three (Watanabe, David Duke Jr. and Dru Smith) only entered in garbage time. Twelve Nets played Saturday in a competitive loss to the 76ers. Vaughn has said he is still “figuring out” how to implement Simmons, whose playing time had decreased steadily since Durant and Irving were traded. Without ball-dominant superstars capable of taking over the offensive end, Simmons has been lost and unable to adopt a larger offensive role. His previous niche — playing excellent defense and moving the ball — does not work well when he is surrounded by players with similar skill-sets (and better jump shots). Finney-Smith and O’Neale, strong wing defenders with capable shots, are redundant. Watanabe, who had drained 48.1 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, has played well enough to deserve a long run, but he has been buried behind other wings on the depth chart. Harris and Curry are both snipers who too often become defensive liabilities.
The Nets do not have a true backup point guard, especially if Vaughn does not lean upon Sumner, and the head coach cited Curry and Simmons as capable lead guards off the bench. “There’s some guys that have a case, that aren’t playing, that probably deserve some minutes,” Vaughn said. “Those are choices you have to make.” The Nets headed into the All-Star break after the game Wednesday and will have nine days before they resume play Feb. 24 in Chicago. A good portion of that time will be spent getting players on the same page and figuring out who works well together. “We’re really starting to home in hopefully on different groups and what plays we run with different groups and what different lineups look like,” Vaughn said. ~

maybe the Knicks will clinch a playoff spot
The run at 8:29 was so slick
FREE CAM THOMAS!
Why isn't the ny media talking about the Nets anymore. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The Nets owner getting just what he deserves
What a difference a year makes. You couldn't find a Knick fan to say 1 kind work about Randle. They wanted him off the team. Luckily for NY his contract was unmovable.
if i were the nets player i be playing bigtime and get the w or they all gonna be traded nextyear for another star losing streak coming
Nets coaching looks terrible.
No stress on defense! Worst defensive team ever.
Why isn't Yuta not playing nor Sumner? I think a 10 man rotation is ridiculous. Use all 15 until you find the rhythm
Knicks did us dirty lol… But wait to we build chemistry #NetsNation.
NBA why are you’re jerseys so expensive
