Box score says Fournier played less than 6 minutes but swear it felt like he was on the floor for a solid 40. That bench run just set a bad tone until Brunson got red hot
I’m glad we got the win, but, at the same time, also fuck that game. Onto Toronto now…
Oh, and Jalen Brunson is my hero.
I hope the Knicks can beat a team without anyone playing 40 minutes, but hey a win is a win
MVP
Please turn Fournier plus picks into something good Leon
Thibs needs to figure out how to use his bench. Starters are going to get worn out
6’5 josh hart the only thing standing in the way of thibs playing og and randle 40 min every game
Win or die I guess
Yeah the bench needs to happen
Poor Jules. This man was about to cough up a lung playing 38 without Hart in the lineup. A win is a win tho
The Knicks should pay Brunson more. We’re so lucky to have him.
I was watching the Raptors game, what was going on this game? Lol.
1. This team wouldn’t be shit without Brunson, and I don’t care if this statement makes people mad. It’s the truth.
2. Leon and Co. need to make a trade. The bench is so fucking bad. Randle is literally gasping for air on the court, I can see it.
3. OG with 3 straight games with 40+ minutes played. A fucking warrior. Glad to have him.
We don’t deserve Jalen Brunson but we also definitely deserve Jalen Brunson.
Superstar.
Can we go back to a couple weeks ago when we were winning by 30? That was nice.
Brunson and Julius should both be all stars this year.
Brunson will likely edge it over JR though.
No way to describe Brunson other than greatness
25 wins in January
8 games over .500.
13-5 at the Garden.
Ill take it.
OG needs to be way more involved on offense. Being parked in the corner isn’t gonna make him want to re-sign. His cutting was so good in the beginning of his knicks tenure and now he is parked in the corner with Hartenstein parked in the dunker right in front of him.
Im so excited for the Saturday toronto game. Thank goodness we have Brunson on our team.
87 minutes in 24 hours for OG seems like a recipe for disaster
Get Grimes & Fournier off this team, and trade for a credible bench player, that can play effectively.
Can see how badly the team missed Hart. There’s more to the game than individual stats. His ability to lead the fastbreak and get us easy looks off of misses is a big part of our success.
On a separate note, what an incredible performance from Brunson. Injured but still unstoppable.
The Knicks just Milton Berle’d the Wizards, pulling out just enough to win.
As I said…that win was a ruined orgasm. We got what we wanted but now I’m mad
This game would’ve been a lot easier for us if Hart was playing.
Absolute JB takeover. The guy is a STUD.
Good teams win ugly games, straight up. Everyone not named brunson and OG had sub par nights but we got it done. Onto Toronto for the feels fest
A win’s a win.
Our bench feels so depleted. Hoping we dont keep abusing our starters like tonight. Great job by all of them but man we need bench players that can step up
Yeah we really need some bench help
We were on a b2b and were without Josh Hart. It feels like alot of people have forgotten but we are also without Mitch. We lost IQ and RJ and as a result the defense has skyrocketed but our offense is struggling a bit. Still we are winning games and the FO is expected to address the scoring issue in some way.
Hart, Mitch, and another scorer consistently being added to this rotation is going to do wonders for this team. I get some of this basketball has been ugly, but the complaints seem stupid when we are winning games, *and* this still isn’t the teams final form.
Grimes didn’t play well at all today. He’s been generally better since the trade, but he also started off the season with a huge slump. Not saying I agree with the front office trying to trade him, but ya’ll acting like it’s insanity that Thibs isn’t playing him much when it’s completely understandable with how inconsistent he is.
Thibs starting to overplay starters again even factoring in Hart not being there it’s clear a move that needs to be made with the bench, with Mitch gone at the moment due to injury and IQ traded the teams depth is rapidly depleted especially when there is an injury.
If Deuce and Prescious can’t play 15 or so minutes a game then make a trade.
Really Sucks that the trade deadline was an entire month after the Og trade
This stretch without the Iq replacement is so tough on the guys
Rj isn’t missed. Rather his shot diet be spread out among the rest of the roster
Miss Iq badly though. Get me Malcolm brogdon as soon as the Blazers stop trolling and say it’s time to trade.
Playoff games look more like this than 30 points blow outs, so while I don’t like how many minutes the starters are playing, I’ll take victories like this any day over blow outs. These games will prepare the team for the playoff better than sitting the entire 4th quarter.
Wasn’t pretty, but got the win. Thats all I care about. Games like these happen sometimes (especially off of a back to back).
Let’s not overreact here lol.
the rest of the team better thank JB because he hard carried that team to a win. Outside of him, the effort from this team was bad.
That was scary. Wizards almost beat us phew
18-0 against teams under .500. Knicks are undefeated against bad teams, LFG
This game was a poster child for the Elam ending.
It’s easy to criticize Thibs for playing guys too many minutes. But if Brunson sits for like 2 more minutes we probably lose the game. The FO needs to add some more depth.
