Whatever. We just went 3-1 on a tough west coast roadtrip and kept it close against the defending champs without our entire starting frontcourt. Next 4 opponents are: Nets, Pistons, Raptors and Spurs. We good baby.
ill take them in the finals for sure
That MPJ “electrifying play” is a travel
We still showed up, we made them work their asses off to beat us. So kudos to this team, and congrats on a successful road trip! We are all happy with this result
Meh. It was close. That’s a win
I’m not too upset about it. It’s the defending champs and we still competed well with them while still dealing with injuries to key guys.
Bert and Ernie almost got us back in the game
Hard fought game against the champs. Overall a very successful road trip against some very good teams. Not much else to say
Thibs hates to lose, and i love it despite the knicks having no chance tonight
I’ll still take a 3-1 west coast trip. Just need to handle our business for the next 4 games and I hope we get some guys back from injuries
Defending champs fully healthy had to go life or death to beat this short handed Knicks squad. 3-1 on the dreaded late season west coast trip. 4 very winnable games in a row coming up. We’re chillin.
Knicks beat Nuggets in the last game of the Nuggets’ 5-game East Coast road trip.
Nuggets beat Knicks in the last game of the Knicks’ 4-game West Coast road trip.
Can’t be mad, we kept it competitive. On to the Nets
A hard well fought game, but we couldn’t ever get on a run besides that last quarter.
3-1 on the road is still very good. We have what should be easy winnable and important games coming up. Magic are ahead of us but it’s ok for now.
3-1 in this West Coast Trip. I’ll take that. If we had more size, we could’ve won this game but alas, we were giving up 6 inches on Porter who is 6’10” with a high release point. I knew he would feast. Manageable string of games next then hopefully we get OG, Mitch and Randle soon. LFG Knicks!!!
Even though Burks had a “good” game , they gotta send Air B&B back to the shadow realm
No reason to hang our heads, played tough. 3-1 on the west coast trip, now let’s go home and pile up some wins. LGK!
lots of positives. we look like we’d give them all types of problems in a seven game series with our full squad. deuce is looking more comfortable by the game. burks and boji got over half our turnovers. can’t wait til they get pushed out of the lineup.
Schedule loss, brunson Donte and hart all got a bit of a rest game compared to the last 2 months. Mitch and OG back soon in MSG and we go 9- 4 through the last 13 games.
Realistically we had no shot tonight. Nuggets were extremely motivated to not get swept on the season series and very short handed squad. Thought they played well to keep it close pretty much all game
Frustrated because we would’ve beaten Denver fully healthy, and the Magic won so we’re 5th seed now. Take advantage of the Nets, Raptors, Pistons, and Spurs to get home court.
I don’t know how anyone is gonna beat these guys
Can’t be mad about that one tbh. Good performance all things considered. These are the games you just cannot win without your 2nd and 3rd guys
Listen we had no business even making this a game. Proud of these guys for at least fighting through
Any chance OG is back for saturday or no shot?
I just want an update on Julius man
felt like we had a good plan offensively but as the game wore on the nuggets just got into their game too much. porter junior basically not missing didn’t help either.
one of those games if hart had a good game it would have helped a lot but instead he was a no show. brunson was a bit off too.
Biggest issue tonight was size.
Not really much you can do when the Nuggets have three guys 6’8″ and over at all times, meanwhile we’re playing 6’4″ Josh Hart at the 4.
If OG wasn’t hurt MPJ isn’t cooking Donte for 31 pts.
Argh…we just need to be healthy.
– One of *those* nights. Got put to the sword tonight. Still a good road trip
– Brunson, iHart, & Alec Burks played well, so that’s something.
– Kept it close and made them earn this win. That’s a plus
– Heal up, rest up, and file this one away **immediately**
Anyone upset about this result needs to get their head checked. This team doesn’t give up. A very successful west coast trip. Let’s go Knicks!
Damn I went over to r/nba expecting some nice post game discourse after what felt like a fun back and forth game all things considered…nope lol
3-1 isn’t bad. We played the defending champs well without our starting front court
Honestly could’ve won that game if a few calls or bounces went our way. A lot of momentum killers late in the 4th quarter. We made them fight for it, and they are arguably the best or one of the best squads in the NBA. We are dealing with a lot of injuries. Ok with this loss.
Was expecting a loss away against the defending champs who are rolling and without OG, Randle and Mitch. Just have to hope they can get healthy in enough time for the injured players to at least get a few games in before the playoffs
Health being the one thing keeping us from being contenders is the worst
Rest everyone against the heat
The nuggets are good but they dont scare me at all. OG and Randle swing this game so much in our favor that it pisses me off. Its no longer us being 1 piece away; adding a piece like DMitch or Mikail makes us a super team
Burks had a 2021esq burst so I cant hate too much, but the turnovers and star calls against us made the swing too hard to overcome
3-1 roadtrip, our playoff picture rn looks like food for round 1, and we got pieces coming back soon. We move
Successful road trip and they fought to the end against a healthy powerhouse champion, got absolutely no complaints.
Oh except one: why couldn’t the Pelicans do us a solid and beat the Magic???
Jokic was a +30 in 39 minutes.
The Nuggets were -17 in the 9 minutes Jokic was off the floor. Crazy impact.
I thought thibs gambled keeping the 2nd unit in too long. After they pulled it within 2 I would have brought the starters back in cause their play was just unsustainable, sure enough the nuggets go back up 9 and the starters are brought in
The margin for error at the tail end of this season is so thin hey. For as good as we’ve been all season and we’re still in 5th.
Absolutely have to go 4-0 the next 4 IMO. You can’t drop any of them.
Thibs needs to simplify Bogeys game. Catch and shoot only – he drives and kicks out to a heavily contested player while the shot clock is winding down
We lost but if there’s one thing I could take from a loss like this is that no team is gonna want to see us for a best of 7. Might get beat but we won’t get outworked
Burks dropped 18?
why are nugget fans crying for the knicks for being dirty when murray rolled his ankle by stepping on donte’s foot? it was a clean steal!!!
If theyre complaining the knicks were trying too hard with a min left down 14, then why was murray or the rest of the nuggets starters in the game????
Swear most of em just started watching basketball recently
These are the type of games I wish we were fully healthy for. Nuggets played a good ass game and still had to try their hardest to put us away man that makes me feel great
That is a very good basketball team
For a championship winning team last season, most Nuggets fans are bitches. Take your W and go home lol
if b&b can play a good 3 and D game we’re winning the finals fully healthy 🤷🏾♂️
Yo I’m just sick of never being healthy.
Tough loss tonight. The men fought hard, but Joker did what Joker does. His screens gave Deuce trouble all night long. On a positive note, the interior passing looks so much better lately so hopefully we can keep that going. On to the Nets!
