We get the lead, but we can’t HOLD the lead
Blame who you want, it is just unfortunate mixture of bad events.
Shitty loss but I will say the nba is so much more enjoyable when the refs let them play. Really enjoyable game besides the outcome.
Most “Knicks” game of the year?
A career night of 40+ from a knick and a loss
Name a more iconic duo.
I’ll wait.
Hartenstein should never touch the floor again
randle is the most frustrating player in the league
Lead 95% of the game and blow a double digit second half lead, if you don’t like that, you don’t like Knicks basketball.
The Knicks have the point differential, srs, and net ratings of a much better team than their record but they keep losing Bs games like this. Idk what’s wrong with this team but these losses will hurt if they’re wasting away with the scrubs in the play in.
The Bucks were champions for a reason *shrug* a 16 point lead in a January regular season game is nothing to them.
lowkey lost bc of ihart
Good game up until Evan and Mitch let Pat and Lopez get some wide open 3s. If they play with this intensity every game it would be good though
Got fuckin Jingled goddamnit
We hit our free throws at least
Notice the lack of iso by the bucks? Drive and dish drive and dish. That’s basketball. Nobody looks more lost in the 4th than Randle, it’s every game, the guy has no idea what to do.
In an alternate universe, IHart is never born and we coast to a win by 16
We, as a society, have passed the need for Hartenstein minutes
Hart needs the reddish treatment. Should not see the floor. Not even in blowouts. See if you can move him for a warm body or just leave him at the end of the bench.
Our 4th quarter execution is ass. Our bench has been complete shit and thin as hell.
Feel bad for brunson. Randle is skilled, hes worked hard, but he is in his head all the time. Its a meantlity thing for him. He is also frustrating to watch on defense when his man doesnt have the ball.
Brunson if you are reading this, we love you
Tough loss tonight, Sims absolutely deserves those minutes he was playing.
Hartenstein to the pine? 🤔
Hate to say it but it was the iHart minutes in the 3rd
Tough losses has been a signature of this franchise for basically forever
That point distribution is disgusting, nobody over 5 points besides IQ Randle and Brunson
Brunson and Quickley shot well but after that yeesh
Our team is a superstar away from contention unfortunately. We can be there with hood teams but we can’t beat them yet. Tough loss and not moral victory’s here. Just have to get better
It feels like we’ve watched the same game at least 10 times this season and we’re 0-10 in all of them.
Supporting cast was total ass besides IQ. Randle shot poorly but at least he was rebounding and looking for open teammates. Wasted Brunson’s career night. Damnit. On the plus side, we fucking competed against the Bucks. We aren’t that far off and just gotta keep building.
People gonna hate on Randle, but his defense on Giannis was one of the reasons we were in this game. Bucks really wanted this one, and you can tell because they played their starters the whole 3rd quarter
Close loss, but it would be nice if one of these losses swung our way for once
Knicks have literally lost this same game against the bucks at msg for years now..
I know Mitch can’t shoot and that’s just a fact of life but it’s frustrating watching him next to Lopez, who’s built like a storage container, draining 3s against us
Like is it a fantasy to try to develop at least a bank shot for Mitch?
I feel like the bucks all of a sudden became snipers late in the 3rd quarter and then Jrue became Steph Curry down the stretch. Shit just happens sometimes
i blame iHart. Screwed up our entire defense in the 3rd and just ran around. Blame also goes to Thibs for not subbing in Sims. Another horrible L. I will say Jrue turning into Steph was just bad luck.
The bench literally gave up this game. Brunson, julius, and IQ combined for 92 points and literally no one else scored.
For God sakes. Why can’t grimes and IQ get some plays made for them when we need 3s
Also IHart sucks.
Brunson was fantastic. IQ was terrific. Just got beat by the better team, a championship caliber team that knows how to close out games. We’re not there yet, not sure it’s gonna happen this season. JB tried, tho. I love him for that.
Y’all are so quick to blame Randle. Granted he shot poorly but he still brought the energy on defense and was a monster on the boards.
Bucks decided to not miss a shot in the final 15 minutes of the game. I swear they got 14 3 pointers in the last 15 minutes of the game.
Holliday just hit bullshit shot after bullshit shot at the end and Giannis is a bigger flopper then peak LeBron
Randle… Posting up on Giannis is not the play. It’s never the play.
Fun fact. Outside of IQ and JB the team went 14-56. Randle going 9-29 increased the rest of the scrub’s overall FG% lmao.
We need RJ back.
– Another winnable game lost from a mixture of bad events and bad play. The Bucks were begging to be blown out, but they hung around long enough to rip the win away. 17-point lead gone in a New York minute. YUCK
– Randle was good (despite the awful shooting), IQ was stellar, but Jalen Brunson was excellent. 44 points & it won’t get the recognition it deserves cause the Knicks lost. Gotta capitalize more and hold on to the leads.
– Jrue Holiday was awful for 3 & ½ quarters until he turned into Ray Allen and started hitting clutch three after clutch three late in the fourth. 🙃
– Hartenstein was awful, Toppin barely played (probably still hurt), & Grimes had an off-night.
Knicks have choked away at least 5-7 super winnable games this year. That’s a 10-14 game swing in the standings…ooof!
Maybe it’s coping but we’re going to reach a point where the team starts to learn from these close games where they can’t close and finally “get it”. It comes from experience
59 shots from Brunson ans Randle. Randle 9 for 29 .No one else touches the ball as those two dribble down the clock. Why can’t we get the wide open corner three’s that every other team in the league gets? We outplayed them most of the game only to crap out at the end. It’s very frustrating to see Joe Ingles killing us from the corner.
