Easy W
QuentHIM is real!
Nice blowout, we needed this and it feels like a massive load was released
Take my hip Brunson, you can have it
KNICKS ARE UNDEFEATED IN 2023!!!!!!!!!!
Julius Randle is an all-star caliber player in the game of basketball
Lmao Julius giving the post game with his shirt off
Good fucking game
Put a shirt on Julius 😭
highest of highs
lowest of lows
God bless our NY knicks!!
GREAT win but does Juls really need to play 40mins in a blowout? Fucking Thibs man
Damn where are the Randle haters?
It feels really good to have Randle back. Brunson too, he’s back after a week gone. But like, big picture, randle the great player is back. The losing streak was almost all close games they played well in all but the Spurs one. This team is… Actually so solid!!!
Great W to start 2023.
Winning just 1 game of the next 3 guarantees a winning record at the half way point of the season.
Julius redemption arc is such a beautiful thing rn
We’re back😈😈😈
JULES 💪
MSG loves Randle again. Love to see it.
Brunson’s hip still hurts from fucking the league. That’s why his FTs are off. Also, was he just scouting?
Fournier might be making a comeback.
Great game! Fantastic defense, let’s keep it going!
Let’s go Knicks . Remember this game next time yal bitch
Julius looking like an absolute fucking tank lmao
It’s always nice to see Chris Paul lose
A fun win to start the year wooo
Randle getting MVP chants in the Garden again. I could cry.
Brunson makes this team so much stronger
Let’s start another winning streak
Best defense of the year, yes bk Booker and suns partied in NY, but I don’t give a fuck
Sims needs more minutes. There. I said it.
Fantastic game, and especially nice to see Randle’s performance. Let’s keep it going!
It’s such a good sign that the team has steadied the ship after last week’s horrors.
i can hear the bandwagon coming back. rj up next
Julius’s nippers got me bricked up
The Suns sub was morbid….lol. About as morbid as their shooting today
Knicks defense won this game, Randle and IQ’s two-man game stood out down the stretch on offense along with the great passing across the board. Starting 2023 off right
Lotta highlights here:
Regardless of whatever awards he does/doesn’t get, All-NBA Julius is back.
Brunson’s looking healthy and ready to go. Seems like few games off did him a lot of good.
Grimes and Mitch both had great games individually and as a unit it’s fucking telepathic how well they play together on both ends of the floor. I noticed a few games back they had great chemistry in PnR coverage but the offense tonight was so fluid.
Quickley might actually be able to shoot, which is so crucial.
And Fournier’s looking a bit better than the first go round. Which is dope. Not sure he has much of a chance of getting back regularly into the rotation but really hope this makes it easier to trade him somewhere where he can get minutes.
TrAdE rAnDLe
Go Knicks! Love this squad.
I know people criticize IQ for his offensive flaws but his defense is superb and doesn’t get enough credit
Everyone get on your knees and pray to whatever entity you pray to (or don’t pray to) and thank them for Jalen Brunson
So you’re telling me that Julius Randle, a 6’8 PF, just needed a good PG for him to be successful??? Nah no way…. /s
Ayton had never lost to Mitch before, well that can fuck off now
Winning streak incoming
Grimes loves to feed Robinson and when he eats, we all eat
Great team win 💯
I’m in love with Quentin Grimes.
I was cautiously optimistic about this year when we signed Brunson. It was questionable whether he would be a difference maker individually (he definitely is), but just having a competent PG is such a big deal for this team.
We had so many guys who can play as secondary/tertiary playmakers – now that we have a real initiator in Brunson they all can play the roles they excel in. Randle looks like the guy we paid for again because he doesn’t have to be the scorer and the point guard at the same time anymore.
Shame on y’all for trying to besmirch Julius Randle’s name. Y’all were talking so crazy last year…..saying RJ Barrett needed to be the number #1 option, saying Obi Toppin should start because he scored 42 points in a meaningless game last year, saving he should the #3 option on this team. This dude has been our best player since #7 wore the orange and blue. Respect young #30 ball
Being a Julius Randle fan is wild. The terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles! Sure, I might offend a few of the *blue*-noses with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh! I’ll never be the darling of the so-called “City Fathers” who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about “What’s to be done with this Julius Randle?”!
I never doubted you julius, *pls don’t check my post history*. But seriously, he looks like an entirely different dude than last year and more like 2020-2021 Randle. He’s not just iso-ing and spinning into double teams, he plays bully ball when it’s beneficial and he beats the double more often than not with a good pass. He’s playing with much more energy and discipline on defense and seems to have embraced being the leader of this team. I’m happy af to see him succeeding, I just hope people stick by him when he inevitably goes through cold spells.
