Shoutout to the bacon wrapped hotdogs for sale outside of Ball arena
Mike to Mike after he lobs to himself

Kind of bummed about the win. Since 2003, every time the Knicks have swept the Nuggets in the regular season, the Nuggets have gone on to win the NBA Championship.
NC State going off again, heck of a run they’re having
KCP held down brunson to a -20
I think the Knicks fans need to look at the +/- of the starters lmao. Wolves game was frustrating, this game felt like a normal dominant win
The Nuggs are my Roman Empire
Now we can retake first if the Thunder lose to the…:checks schedule: Raptors.
When will these MFers play a decent team?
Love the hustle, but no reason for Jamal to risk it chasing a loose ball up 10 with less than 2min
What the hell has happened to Josh Hart? He was a pretty good 2-way player in NO and was great after the trade to NY. He can still defend, but he has become Ben Simmons on offense.
Should we be concerned about CB -14 and PWat -13 in 13 minutes of playing time?
I just need the Timberwolves and OKC to take an L tomorrow and my weekend will be off to a great start.
MPJ has been great, played every game, he’s shooting over 40% from 3, and he’s 210 made 3s short of Steph’s record. Steph was so fucking nuts
Really concerned! Teams are racking up imaginary points from players that didn’t play and it’s leading to moral victories against a squad that hypothetically will crash in the playoffs.
Post game thread on NBA is heated lmao I really was mostly positive on the Knicks before like 45 minutes ago and that has flipped completely
We are in the good days
Stat bois: MPJ got the Nuggies record, but what’s the overall record for 3s in a season?
Alright good night NugBros and thank you MPJ
12 games left
Mal can take the next 2 games off to rest that ankle. Mike’s got us.
Easily the most predictable result from this game was Isaiah ShartingStain fouling out. His fouls/36 is still elite 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Donte DiVincenzo is Grayson Allen with better PR. Dude does not get enough flack for being an extremely reckless and dirty player
KCP got the chain what a fckin surpise and Mike game ball for the record. Good thing we didn’t play Giannis tonight or that game ball is gone.
Moach was joking around with Mal in the locker room postgame so I’m guessing he’s alright 🙏
May be best to rest him the next two games. I just knew this Knicks team was gonna piss me off.
Forever grateful for this team and community. I love you all, glad we get to go through the good times together
Rest up Murray 🙏 Mike and Joker will hold the fort down.
That Jamal injury killed all the vibes of that W
It better not be serious
I would like to propose a bold prediction. It will MPJ who wins finals MVP this year as he redeems himself for last year’s finals.
MIKE MIKE MIKE
Heard Andy and Lindhal talking about it but I wouldn’t mind leaving Jamal and maybe either AG or KCP home to rest vs Portland.
Despite the win, we need to Fire Malone because Kentucky melted down earlier today and they are coached by John Calipari who has an Italian last name. Since Malone and Calipari are similar names we need to get rid of him or we’re gonna choke in the first round
Kansas in danger of a historic choke job rn
TIL MPJ operates with solar power
It the Knicks had scored more points than the nuggets than they would have won that game. Hard to be happy about this one
Jamal gonna be picked up full court every single game now.
They should try not to let teams burn him out
Not gonna show in game stats but AG bodying up everything not wearing white on the court really helped a lot in giving up only 4 offensive rebounds to a team with guards that can crash the offensive glass
Knick fans are the worst
Pels b2b vs Miami tomorrow
Then have okc mil boston phx
Suddenly look like Dallas and Phoenix gonna catch them
Ingram hurt
I love this team, but the bench is a real concern. Against a depleted Knicks, they let a 12 point lead evaporate in like 3.5 minutes.
Reggie is really the only player they can rely on off the bench.
It’s amazing that MPJ has 193 three point makes this season considering he accidently steps over the line for a long two every 5th attempt. If he didn’t have such long feet he would be coming for Curry’s record.
12 games remain. Magic Number update:
Play In – Clinched
Playoffs – 5 (could possibly be 4, depending on the mess that is currently 6-8)
4 seed – 7 (6 if the Pels are the 5 seed)
2 seed – 12
1 seed – 14
