Tough tough loss
Taurean prince going 0/8 from 3 next game book it
Turns out defense is pretty important
Sixers lost to the Bulls tonight. It happens. Gotta clean up a few things. One piece of advice for you all is to put your life savings on Taurean Prince having 3 points and going 1/8 next game…
😔
TERRIBLE loss
Fuck Taurean Prince
One of the worst games of the season. 140 to these bums without Ant and Kat is unacceptable
Thibs should’ve sat Quickley in the last four minutes. We would’ve won this game.
i hope taurean prince gets paid for whatever the fuck that was
These are the losses that sting the most
TELL ME NOT, this game reminds you of the Ricky Rubio Cavs game where he would NOT miss. INSANE!!!!!!
Low IQ tonight.
Swanton bomb off the balcony
Easier job with no accountability-meteorologist or NBA official ?
should’ve taken IQ out in the fourth for Grimes and looked for Randle more in the fourth, no excuse the guy with 26 in the last quarter only got 4 shots in the next
Also what can we do to get a call late in the game
What a waste of a legendary performance. I’m pretending that 4th quarter never happened.
Also, Taurean Prince is gonna secure generational wealth from his MSG mixtape alone. He better send us 5% lol
Not excusing the team’s lackluster performance, but that officiating was horrendous
Y’all are really removing all credibility from yourselves if you’re shitting on a 57-point game shooting 66% from the field
These refs need to be fired. Legit worse than the NFL and it’s not close.
This one sucked to lose, a lot
I mean you combine career shooting nights + bad defense, you get that nasty result smh
Jules tried man
Taurean Prince can fuck right off. He will NEVER EVER have a game close to this again, but of course he does this against the Knicks. Of course.
Very Knicks to not get the ball in Randles hands more after he drops 52 through 3 quarters.
Also quickley in over Grimes cost us this game
– The Timberwolves controlled most of the game. The first half was up-and-down. The Knicks put on one hell of a fight in the second half. Should’ve been a win. Tough loss. It’s a very entertaining game, nevertheless.
– Orange Julius was **scorching hot!** 57 points on great efficiency. Hit almost every shot he took, Wolves had no answer for him. It’s easily his best game as a Knick. Brunson was great too. Neither team felt like playing defense tonight. Orange Julius dominated, and Taurean Prince shot like Kyle Korver from 3 – he was unconscious from outside. Took over the game
– Minnesota stole it late & the Knicks ran of gas. It happens.
A wasted 57 piece is wild
Refs were spotty, Taurean had a great game but we really should’ve won.
Great games from Josh and IQ overall but down the stretch that mini-me Brunson/IQ/Hart lineup was just so obviously not working. A defensive minded coach should know to put in RJ or Grimes so we dont get sh*t on… oh well, on to the next
Nothings worse than watching bums talk shit in MSG like their the 96 bulls. Up 5 with a couple mins left should’ve won this one, oh well.
No biggie…. not gonna beat a team shooting 10000% from downtown all night
Let’s be honest Minnesota isn’t shooting like that to start the game ever again.
Amazing game by Randle so glad to have him as a Knick.
He faces a lot of criticism but take in these moments because we’re going to miss him when he’s gone!
Every time I have time to watch a game, we lose. Shit’s fucking comical. I was stuck at Penn Station earlier tonight late after work and was debating going too.
Good thing I didn’t.
Onto the next one boys.
What an absolutely painful loss. We got the full Julius Randle experience. Amazing play, scoring and domination for periods of play. Then loses out on a rebound in crunch time to a guy nicknamed Slo-Mo. Pain.
Julius is going to drop 80 on these mfs next time.
Idk what drugs quickley was on in the 4th
I want to see Randle and Thibs to have their own version of the FVV rant after this game fuck a fine. McDaniels should’ve been fouled out with all those no calls out here tonight, consistently shit calls for the Knicks I get why he was upset to end that game.
These guys always lose the game after a big win.
I mean nothing you can do when a team doesn’t miss for an entire half of basketball.
Like 60% shooting in the game. Not the best defense we’ve played but that’s just an absurd anomaly for a mid-road west team without their best players against ANY team
Just unlucky really
IQ missed too many shots in the 4th, the selection was off. We could have easily won we had the lead and the momentum but blew it
Wolves shot 61% on the game and Prince went dummy. If that’s how they gotta win then as much as it hurts that’s just the way the news goes lol
IQ blew this with the horrible plays down the stretch. Needed him to play up to par with randle gassed.
What a strange game. 134 in a loss. 57 for Julius. 20/10 for JB. RJ not great but that’s whatever at this point. Awful 1st bit us on the ass. Disappointed with the loss but not too mad considering Prince was on some black magic immediate drug test type shit.
Thought Thibs could have let that second unit stay on a little longer in the fourth but oh well
Death, taxes, the Knicks giving up a career high to a journeyman in a game they had no excuse to lose.
Everyone is way to negative about this game. Half their team shot like steph curry tonight and we nearly won. If this had happened last year Randle would have thrown a temper tantrum and we would have been blown out by 35. Our team is heaps more mature now and fought hard to make it competitive.
Knicks were up 126-123, hart steals the ball, goes in for the layup, gets whacked by not 1 but 2 players, no call, wolves come back and knock down a corner 3..to tie at 126, the break the wolves needed to win, sometimes it’s the calls that arent made that change the outcomes.
I’m at work and missed the game. Looking at the box score, how does Mitch play 24 minutes and not score a single point on an alley oop, a put back, or a FT?
0 DEFENSE. YOU FUCKS IN THE GAME THREAD WERE LIKE CALM DOWN. NO. NO. NO. WE WERE NOT DEFENDING, SO FUCK YOU.
Even with Prince going off, better defense in the first half could’ve won this game. Also, the Twolves shot a crazy percentage, so- whatever. Next game!
