We back!
These Spurs looking like the ’97 bulls
Funny- without Brunson this game looks exactly like how we looked last season!
Congrats San Antonio
You beat the 2015-2016 Knicks
Win 8 lose 8
Mid team stay middling
One of the worst defensive efforts I’ve seen in a long time. It’s one thing when an opponent gets hot from 3 on a random night, but we just let them waltz into the paint all game with no resistance.
i don’t wanna hear shit blaming Thibs for this one.
Mitch and Hartenstein decided they didn’t want to show up today, Grimes and Rose couldn’t hit sand if they fell off a Camel’s ass and the Johnson’s randomly decided tonight was the night to start hitting threes.
i hate losing streaks as much as anyone else but this one is on everyone not named Randle or Quick, not on the coach.
and a side note here – Hartenstein blows. anyone who fell for that cult of u/eg14000 is a moron. this guy is not good. total turnstile when he’s forced to defend from the elbow down. no, he’s not being used wrong. he’s just not good.
Mitchell Robinson didn’t have it at all tonight. That Dallas game must have taken everything out of him
We kinda suck without RJ and Brunson. The young players aren’t stepping up enough.
What did reddish do to Thibs JFC
Oh boy can’t wait for this sub to become a Thibs civil war again
Wow, IQ had 36 points in what could be considered one of his worse games in terms of playmaking and defense. What a game
Loss doesn’t count we were missing our best players
team looks completely different without RJ and JB
Shout out to Fournier, did not play for 6 weeks and put up better numbers than everyone but Randle and IQ
Back to our natural state: .500
This fucking franchise man.
I hate basketball
I remember the time when I thought we could go 3-0 in this Texas trip…
Career 4 PPG Romeo Langford went off on us 🤦♂️
Man, what happen. This was the worst team in the nba
knicks missed 7 free throws…
Brunson can have my hip, RJ can have my finger, and obi can have my knees 😭
I’m not gonna stop watching the Knicks. Im always gonna cheer for them every game like it’s the finals. But im gonna unfollow this sub for awhile.
I would say mid, but that would be a compliment to this team
Please everyone chill with the overreactive takes. It was a bad loss and this is a game we probably should’ve won, but we’re missing RJ + Brunson. Even elite teams drop a few games when 2 of their 3 best guys are banged up. Thibs probably could’ve done better with rotation / minutes distribution but it’s not the time to sound the alarms and fire him, or give up on Grimes / trade Randle for that matter. Bad night. Bad skid. But let’s wait and get healthy before losing our minds.
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Didn’t even try to win this smh
The extremely reactionary thing I’ve learned from the past two games is that Quickley is a solid, young scorer, but he’s not a point guard. He’s gonna be at his best when he just gets to look to score all the time.
Grimes really let me down tn
Can’t wait until Brunson returns. Then we will play somewhat competently with a proper floor general. Build the team around him. He’s the most important player. Randle hate is disgraceful. He’s been fighting hard this season and the reason we stay in these games. These bums need to step up until we get Brunson and rj back.
1 week ago, it felt the Knicks might not lose again, a week later and it feels like Knicks might not win again..I’ve said the same thing for about 20 years
Hopefully some stupid team looks at the box score and throws us a first for Quickley. There isn’t a single player on the Knicks who I’d ship faster than him.
No Brunson, RJ, Obi it’s starting to show.
How many threads will be posted in the next day along the lines ‘ on the bright side randle had 41’ or ‘grimes was 6-6 from the line’
we lost to a team who doesn’t want to win 💀
Just blow it up. Julius getting wasted. Fire Thibs and the front office. You can’t fix bad defense like this.
Good decision to not watch the game after last outing
Goodnight y’all, I’ll remember you all in therapy- Plankton
– Knicks are a completely different team without RJ & Jalen.
– Orange Julius did his thing tonight. He’s been in great form, and it sucks that we can’t fully appreciate it because the Knicks are losing.
– Terrible, terrible defense. There’s good offense, and terrible effort on defense. It was mostly the latter tonight.
– Five losses in a row. YUCK YUCK YUCK
