    34-27 now, only 1 game back from the 5 seed. This team is cooking with 4 straight wins, let’s go!!

  2. PatrollerAZ

    Knicks win and Nets and Heat are looking like theyre gonna lose, that 5th seed is in reach

  3. Sotiredofusernames1

    Ahhhhhh!!!

    ![gif](giphy|ZF2OQb9LHlVPy4xQfh)

  4. slyguy183

    Can’t blow a 20 point lead if you trail by 20 first *taps forehead*

  5. aesop_fables

    Clowns still saying to give Obi all of Randles minutes?

  6. Julius is in such a good place right now. Really proud of how he turned his mentality around.

  7. NoScopeMusical

    – The Wizards woke up and decided not to miss from 3. Perimeter defense was bad for most of the game. Delon Wright & KP shot the club up. Luckily tightened up when it mattered. Solid win.
    – The first half was kinda shit. Down 19 in the 2nd. The Knicks woke up in the second half and played well on both ends.
    – Julius Randle’s finest outing – Randle may have had an all-star weekend to forget, but Orange Julius couldn’t miss tonight. 46 points & seven threes. Took over the game. He’s on fire!
    – A rare off-night for Brunson, still hit a big shot. IQ was great off the bench. Josh Hart’s hustle was superb.

  8. Dickhead_

    Somebody has to post that Randle vs kuz sequence on r/nba

  9. RicoGemini

    We’re undefeated since trading for Josh Hart

    Just saying

  10. GoldenBoyRecords

    I really like Josh Hart. He gave us two extra possessions late in the fourth with his hustle that we definitely would not have gotten early on in the season.

  11. Beal: $43m/year
    Porzingis: $33.8m/yr

    Randle: $18.9m/yr

  12. Rgb3rgb2

    This Knicks team just doesn’t give up man. If this was last year the game would’ve been over in the first quarter. Brunson had an off game but Randle came up and had his best game all year and he came up clutch too. If we play our cards right we can do something special and make some noise in the postseason. Plus, with the Nets and Heat losing, the 5th seed might be in reach and we’re farther from the play-in. Let’s keep winning LFGGGGGGG!

  13. Nightwingx7

    One of the best performances I’ve seen from Randle. Talk about setting the tone for the 2nd half of the season. Let’s goooo

  14. Brunson has been an awesome pickup for us but this is still Randle’s team. Glad he’s getting more recognition and love from the fans lately.

  15. VirtuousFool

    Randle beat the “Sucks the first game after the ASB” allegations

    What a difference a year makes

    He’s not perfect, but he’s ours

    ##HAIL KING JULIUS

  16. TriviaWhiz

    -Julius Randle 46 point takeover

    -Jalen Brunson getting a big bucket despite a rough shooting night and running the offense to the tune of 9 assists and 1 turnover

    -IQ and Hart making winning plays

    -RJ making shots in the second half when they needed buckets

    -Mitch making an impact in his first game back

    -Coming back from a 19-point first half deficit

    Not bad for the first game out of the break.

  17. Crazy how positive the mood is when everyone was acting like going to the playoffs this year was a waste of time

  18. Dickhead_

    That was a wholesome ass post game interview

  19. LoqnessMonster

    Epic comeback win even when Brunson’s shot isn’t falling. Massive W

  20. RoadToTI420

    4-0 since Hart joined the team, making his presence known as the ultimate glue guy.

    Julius/Brunson are a good 1a/1b right now, even if one of them is having a rough game, I’m still confident that the other can pick up the pace.

  21. Present_Apricot_973

    Shout to Kuz for unleashing Julius 🔥

  22. Uniquely_structured1

    I swear when Randle is hot he legit is a top 5 player in the NBA lmao, sometimes he does shit offensively this season where I’m like in disbelief.

    Looked like prime Lebron with a better jumper out there

  23. cesarjulius

    jhart 5 pts, 6 boards, 4 assists

    this might be closer to how he’ll look most nights, and i’m so fucking here for it. he’s a difference maker, and we got him for a first.

  24. YourAsianBuddy

    Ju feeding off these haters’ salty tears.

  25. Affectionate-Tea9224

    Knicks win, nets getting crushed, cavs getting crushed, heat getting crushed

  26. DanceStevieDance

    First ever live Knicks game and what a GAME! Booing Porzingis, screaming let’s go Knicks at the end with my whole section. So much fun.

  27. mr_grission

    That was an incredible game to be at. The guys in my section were yelling “MSG South” at the end and the atmosphere was generally nuts. Really felt like a taste of home for a New Yorker that lives in DC now
