    Getting Donovan Mitchell by gutting our roster and giving away all of our draft assets: šŸ¤¢šŸ¤®

    Getting Jalen Brunson essentially for free: šŸ„°šŸ˜‡

  2. EyeSpyGuy

    Knicks make free throws challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

  3. cjackc11

    Jalen Brunson has literally changed my life Iā€™d do anything for this man

  4. GoldenBoyRecords

    Great win. I thought every single role player stepped up. RJ played bad tonight wayy too many mental errors. Good Job Thibs taking RJ out late imo. Obi I thought played well definitely saw vintage Obi in the second half getting easy dunks. I think the strategy going into the playoffs is to keep attacking Mitchell on Defense and we have to put RJ on Garland. Garland was slicing Brunson in the 1st quarter.

  5. zOmgFishes

    Brunson is a top 10 scorer in the NBA rn.

  6. echelonNYK

    Jalen Brunson needs to start a GoFundMe because $104M simply isn’t enough man!

  7. TreSeven

    Itā€™s been almost an entire year and Jalen Brunson hasnā€™t been extended, what are we doing

  8. Yankeeknickfan

    Some actual human beings told me Brunson canā€™t match Mitchell score for score

  9. velocissimo

    FUCK YEAH WE FUCKIN ON THE KNICKS BED TONIGHHTTTTTTTT

  10. Madvillain1212

    Anybody got a stat on Brunson when he was guarded by Mitchell? He seemed to be dominating when Mitchell was on him.

  11. TriviaWhiz

    The Knicks have allowed 30 combined 4th quarter points in their last 2 games.

    Hartenstein and Brunson were the most notable players down the stretch.

  12. YanniSwagger

    Thibs a genuine evil genius for seeing Randle out and just shrinking the lineup again. We end up being better without RJ Obi or Mitch getting more minutes lmao

  13. I think this pretty much proves that JB is, quite simply, the MAN.

  14. NYImpact414

    Brunson is still HIM, no doubt about that. What an absolutely fantastic win without Randle, and to do it in Cleveland is massive for the team’s psyche if they play each other in the playoffs. Shoutout Hartenstein too! Let’s keep it going!!

  15. teknomatic

    statement win. lets fucking go!

    if any Cavs fans think we’re an easy out, they’re gunna be sorely mistaken

  16. Some_Cringey_Random

    i like the cavs, i really do. theyre a young, entertaining team with players i cant help but root for. however, the one thing they lack, is Jalen Brunson.

    cant wait for this series

  17. Brunson revenge game. The dog is back! Also how was that game not national? Def better than Lakers – Wolves.

  18. ThatInception

    Canā€™t be overstated how insane getting iHart and JHart has changed the dynamic of this team. Just having players who hustle every damn play is so refreshing

    And obviously Brunson is a DAWGGGG

  19. cesarjulius

    7 knicks in double digits. incredible team win. brunson is severely underpaid.

  20. Jalen’s near 50 burger was absolutely insane but Josh Hart and Hartenstein were so big today. Gotta be Hartenstein’s best game as a Knick. Absolutely shut down the rim at the end and was dropping dimes all game.

    Back In Cleveland in 2 weeks. LFG

  21. MyLadySansa

    “Tell me a little something, Donovan Mitchell – Don’t you regret not coming to the KNIIIICKS??? Don’t you regret not coming to the KNIIICKS??!!!”

  22. Real fucking hoops.

    Aside from the obvious Brunson barn-burner, it’s actually crazy how we have TWO perfect role player Centers in Mitch and Hartenstein on the team.

    They’ll seldom get over 10 points a piece, but consistently in close games one of them is just gonna have like half a dozen vital stops and rebounds in the 4th quarter. Complete momentum swingers. Add Josh MOTHERFUCKING HART to that and all of a sudden you’re getting like a billion fastbreak points per game just off those three guys hustling their ass off on defense. Real fucking Gs.

  23. Future Knick Caitlin Clark lighting it up on ESPN right now

  24. butimnotahooper

    Jalen Brunson is my everything
    I love you, Jalen Brunson
    Jalen Brunson is my everything
    I would give my life for you, Jalen Brunson

  25. Psychological_Yak183

    Make every night Jethro Tull Night you cowards.

  26. VirtuousFool

    Playoff series of this is gonna be an absolute trip

    Jalen Brunson was the signing of the off-season.

    ##AND IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE.

  27. millagger

    Your New York Knicks really just went into the Cavs house and scored 130 to the best scoring and best by rating defense in the NBA without their All Star and hopefully All NBA I can’t lie this is the kind of game that makes me very excited about our future.

  28. anonymitymous

    Cavs arenā€™t the Cavs without Allen protecting the rim, the Knicks got into the paint and finished all game.

    It was a fun watch and the playoff series with Allen and Randle back would be āš”ļø

  29. will122589

    That game was wild, holy shit. The Cavs scored more in the 1st quarter then they did THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF.

    Brunson just goes bonkers when he sees Donovan Mitchell, itā€™s well bonkers.

    And that 4th quarter almost unleashed the line up I want to see of Quick, Grimes, Duece, Hart and IHart. Nobody would score against those guys.

    We got Brunson for free, best FA signing in Knicks history bar none
