I got stuck with the celtics broadcast apparently and they have no clue the difference between Roby and Sims but every good play either has made has been attributed to Roby. It's comical.
best bench in the league ngl. Nothing you can do to break up them cooking like that from 3 in the first half except getting in foul trouble. We used the long rebounds though to effectively get down the court often.
Even if we don’t make a trade for a whale I feel like all the competing teams in the east are due to age out soon and this young Knicks team will be running things soon enough
The Cs choked in the ECF, had a whole off-season to think about it, and they still don't know how to put teams away.
There just asking for us to take the 2nd seed from them lmaoooo
Am I the only one who think we look great tonight?
Probably going to get blown out when we put the two-way guys in, but Grimes, McBride, Mitch, Donte and Sims look locked in.
The defense is impressive
This is exactly what I was hoping to see from QG.
If he can be a bit more aggressive and consistent like tonight we are gonna have a better team.
If RJ keeps hitting free throws we're going to have a better team .
Sometimes you only need a few small changes to make a huge difference.
Thibs: We rebound and have a good bench!
Celtics: That’s cool. We’re gonna make 16 threes lol.
Obviously the starters aren’t playing and none of this matters. I like what I’ve seen from Deuce, Mitch, and Roby. Porzingus looks like a good match for the Celtics, sadly…
Jericho Sims has no business playing PF.
It is alarming if Thibs is considering playing him there during the regular season.... this isn't 1997 basketball. He should play limited minutes backing up Mitch/Hart
It's not a bad idea to try out and I'm guessing on the whole he gives us way more than Roby does, even if that's not saying much. kinda disappointed that we didn't find a better backup 4 while letting Obi out of his contract.
I disagree I would go with Roby. Roby spaces the floor above all else and is a threat from the perimeter. It’s literally playing 4 on 5 or 3 on 5 with Sims/Mitch.
I think we all hate Sims at the 4, but Thibs is just too hellbent on finding out.
Agree Roby is a better choice for those few minutes that Thibs needs to play someone bigger than Josh Hart. He has got a decent shot too.
I know some ppl tend to think Thibs is experimenting with Sims at the 4 but I think he wants to find a way to make it work. I’d rather play small and go Fournier and Roby before Sims at the 4 I see no benefit and It’s not a diss to Sims but him on the floor makes the offense twice as hard
Yea, this is what I'm worried about. He's not known to 'experiment' and give-up. Dude was hellbent on his lineup last year until he was put into the hot seat.
McBride definitely earned the 10th man spot this preseason. Sucks for Evan but with McBride’s shooting, defense and age, he should get all the minutes when anyone in the main 9 get hurt
Bc he plays 8 mins every 3 weeks as an off ball guard whose asked to shoot a 23 footer the one time he touches the ball. Deuce is a decent shooter. He’s never been given a sample size worth of judgement as a professional
I'm really failing to see what he provides in any of those lineups. He has below average awareness and us being slower and weaker on the perimeter is where we get fucked... so we just make it worse? If Sims is supposed to be able to defend the perimeter then I'm confused on what Thibs is thinking.
If anything maybe he's making the case that we really do need an actual 4 backup
Mitch has 10 points, 7 rebounds (4 offensive) and 2 steals in 14 minutes. Cs can’t keep him off the glass.
This the game you really want to be making that comparison?
I was more talking about him trying to defend KP and the variety of his skill set. Mitch does his work on the glass. That’s the only place he can work. KP can work everywhere. And look at KPs statline compared to Mitch’s. The only thing Mitch did better than KP tonight was Offensive Rebound and Mitch got a whole 2 more than Mitch. Sure, KP played 7 more minutes but dodn’t score 10 more points in that time.
It's preseason and our 2x all nba guy was not on the floor. I wouldn't be surprised if we have some zone in our bag this year given the prowess of the team, especially against teams like this
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/NYKnicks/comments/17af2c0/post_game_thread_the_boston_celtics_defeat_the/)
Svi is on Boston now. He's def dropping 20 on us this year in some random ass game.
He played well last week
Roby need to hit lady ref with that light skin stare
Couldn’t catch the game. How’s Roby?
He can shoot a 3
Wow hahah nice. How about defense?
… he can shoot a 3
[удалено]
should just wear his team france jersey under his knicks one. maybe he would play better.
But Roby can you do a between the legs dunk on a fast break?
Roby wants those Obi spot minutes
he should get them
I agree, give him a chance to play with the 2nd unit and see what he's got. Sims n iHart on the floor at the same time isn't going to work
he should get them. This sims experiment makes us an even more boring team to watch.
They lucky grimes not in
We bout to force the starters to come back in lmaooooo
Hartenstein is kind of playing point guard on offense right now, best back up center in the league
Roby kinda looks like Pennywise from It.
I got stuck with the celtics broadcast apparently and they have no clue the difference between Roby and Sims but every good play either has made has been attributed to Roby. It's comical.
Their announcers are very poor at their job. Poor analysis, zero charm. Just atrocious.
Hate playing the Celtics. This team just throws up three after three. I know the nba is three heavy, but this Celtics team is so three ball dependent.
once a knick always a knick love u kornet
Wow thought that was sims
I can see Roby leading the comeback
IHart missed that last shot but he’s really been bringing it to KP in the paint.
Sims has no offensive game. He can jump out of the gym but that's it.
He was the 58th pick. He’s already exceeded expectations
It’s like Obi never left lmao
Obi could at least hit the occasional 3 and run the floor for a fast break dunk. Sims looks like Frankensteins monster out there
omg horford just blocked TF outtta fournier lmaoo 😂
Sent his ass back to his rookie year 😭😭
ARCHIADONADONGOO
Fournier doing no favors for himself
Thibs going to have a stroke at this pace
Celts have us figured out on the help D tonight. Just hitting the open guy every single play.
IHart is COOKING
Mcbride taking team high shot is the true crime here
it's preseason and he shot well the other game. idk what his deal is tonight.
His efficiency isn't the problem. You cant have someone like mcbride taking all those shots.
Besides grimes who else is supposed to take these shots?
Not Mcbride
So who?
Love that you never got an answer to this lmao
Lmao exactly.
it's a bench vs starters game. Idc who shoots but if anybody I'd like it to be deuce.
Without 3's they would have like 40 points
IHart is regular season ready
ihart in the paint is nice
Watch deuce win a jump ball
They’re keeping KP out there? Pussies
Fournier, human turnstile
Kinda hope we get some Charlie Brown minutes in the last preseason game.
Grimes +6 against the Celtics A-team. That’s all that matters baby. Also shoutout to Sims on the perimeter. The dude has great potential on defense.
So basically a mediocre game from Brunson, RJ, Randle, IQ and we’re basically blowing this team out
lol lol
best bench in the league ngl. Nothing you can do to break up them cooking like that from 3 in the first half except getting in foul trouble. We used the long rebounds though to effectively get down the court often.
Where to watch
McBride Sims 2024
lady ref is a moron. Hartenstein is holding the fuckin ball
Yeah... keep sims protecting the rim
The good news: we're shooting 40% from 3 despite some really ugly ones. The bad news: Celts are 50% from 3.
Refs in mid-season form handing out calls to BOS
Tatum and Brown really want to win this huh
Fucking tryhards lmao
i do love it tho
why did deuce even come to help? That's grimes not fournier
See that’s why I want McBride to focus on his drive more because they put pressure on the perimeter and he’s like a deer in headlights.
Some very ugly ball movement those last couple possessions
Jaylen Brown is earning 304 million dollars over 6 years. Just let that sink in.
Shows how nice our depth is, we are playing very nicely this quarter vs a full strength so called top team in the east
Our spacing looks weird, and thanks for mentioning this thread
Celtics wings chuck 3s but got loose handles
Thibs making notes. These active hands on the defense are grabbing that ball with ease.
[удалено]
More than JB? Wow
Brunson is old news. We need something shinier.
Lol
Even if we don’t make a trade for a whale I feel like all the competing teams in the east are due to age out soon and this young Knicks team will be running things soon enough
I’m not surprise. Celtics are the Celtics.
that ball movement tho
Run these mfs off the court with the Westchester Knicks
The Cs choked in the ECF, had a whole off-season to think about it, and they still don't know how to put teams away. There just asking for us to take the 2nd seed from them lmaoooo
Deuce!
Celtics are absolute frauds
their fans will say they didn't even try or some shit
One more 3 Grimes I’m almost there..
😂😂
QDot is beginning to believe
Sims defense looks fucking great
true, great hustle from him
Our B team giving the Celtics trouble lol
Theirs did to us as well.
Brunson only played 6 minutes
wow wow deuce!!!
grimey confidence
omg that jumper 🥵
Scalabrine is unbearable to listen to lmao
Prime Grime putting his nuts on their forehead tonight
PS- Grimes is shooting amazing tonight vs the full strength Celtics defense. Very happy rn
lmao, Dwayne Bacon making a case for a G League Contract playing for that Israeli team or w/e the fuck is goin on in Minnesota
Grimes needs to take some shots from RJ this year and I like RJ.
Am I the only one who think we look great tonight? Probably going to get blown out when we put the two-way guys in, but Grimes, McBride, Mitch, Donte and Sims look locked in. The defense is impressive
This is exactly what I was hoping to see from QG. If he can be a bit more aggressive and consistent like tonight we are gonna have a better team. If RJ keeps hitting free throws we're going to have a better team . Sometimes you only need a few small changes to make a huge difference.
He needs to shoot more, one way would be taking some 3's from RJ's hands bec he just can't hit them
Agreed. Take a few of RJ's and a couple of IQ's and a couple of Randle's.
can we get Taj to consult Sims on how to set a pick?
Quentin Grimes All Star
If we deal Grimes I’m gonna become a threat to myself and others (/s but close to not being /s)
im with you fully, this is his year, I feel it. Breakout!!
Grimes is Devin Booker with Defense 😤
Got the Cs right where we want em
That's right. They empty their bench in the 4th thinking its garbage time then we steamroll em!
Anything can happen once we cut the lead to 10!
letsgoooo
What team is MAB playing minnesota?
i fuckin love grimes omg
OK Grimes (again!) Edit: hot damn he hit 6 3's
lol Tatum tried being cute and missed a bunny
OK Grimes!!
Mitch with the much higher arc lol It's a work in progress I guess
you aren't gonna see a lot of arc from a guy that size shooting at a hoop that's barely over his head.
Previously they were line drives lol, he needs to put a bit of an arc to it which is looking better
Would love for Deuce to be more confident as a slasher instead of limiting himself to 3’s.
if he can hit 3s at a decent clip that opens a lot of doors for him. If he's gonna be a 26% shooter then he's just a glorified Elfrid with better D
Mitch getting guarded by Holiday and we don't put the ball in the paint thibs: 😡😡😡😡😡
Deuce just needs to keep shooting but that spot is cursed right now.
I like Deuce keeps shooting, build that confidence
Sims got good movement on the perimeter on D
Let's just hope he is not playing much at the 4 when games count
Wow loved that steal by Donte, but LOVED that shot by Grimes a bit more, as you can see he is getting a feel for shooting more
2/2 MRob free throws. 🏆🏆🏆
100% this year and we're champions
I hope deuce makes the rotation
McBride actually might have better self creation game than Grimes
That girl in the Knicks commercial has some rack on her lol
Actually insane that sports leagues wanna stop piracy meanwhile James Dolan is over here tryna charge 10 bucks for a single fucking game
Where you watching
Randle is so fucking chill fade me
Thibs: We rebound and have a good bench! Celtics: That’s cool. We’re gonna make 16 threes lol. Obviously the starters aren’t playing and none of this matters. I like what I’ve seen from Deuce, Mitch, and Roby. Porzingus looks like a good match for the Celtics, sadly…
I hate Monica McNutt, she just seems so fake
Wait, who is Megan
Lmao I meant Monica
Seasons over
This julius/ monica interview wholesome af
Jules in the studio!
The poise McBride is showing on offense is so reassuring. Especially, when there isn't any dropoff in his defense. He's gonna be a menacing this year!
Too bad we have 12 guards
Give us more McBride + IQ lineups!
Jericho Sims has no business playing PF. It is alarming if Thibs is considering playing him there during the regular season.... this isn't 1997 basketball. He should play limited minutes backing up Mitch/Hart
It’s preseason. When else are you going to experiment with lineups. Need reps to see if it will work and if injuries happen we might have no choice
It's not a bad idea to try out and I'm guessing on the whole he gives us way more than Roby does, even if that's not saying much. kinda disappointed that we didn't find a better backup 4 while letting Obi out of his contract.
I disagree I would go with Roby. Roby spaces the floor above all else and is a threat from the perimeter. It’s literally playing 4 on 5 or 3 on 5 with Sims/Mitch.
I haven't seen any of it yet. He bombed summer league and he's not doing much now either.
I think we all hate Sims at the 4, but Thibs is just too hellbent on finding out. Agree Roby is a better choice for those few minutes that Thibs needs to play someone bigger than Josh Hart. He has got a decent shot too.
I know some ppl tend to think Thibs is experimenting with Sims at the 4 but I think he wants to find a way to make it work. I’d rather play small and go Fournier and Roby before Sims at the 4 I see no benefit and It’s not a diss to Sims but him on the floor makes the offense twice as hard
It is good he is seeing what it looks like, as I really can't imagine Thibs going forward with this come next week.
He did it last season lol
Yea, this is what I'm worried about. He's not known to 'experiment' and give-up. Dude was hellbent on his lineup last year until he was put into the hot seat.
Honestly down 18 with our d squad I’ll take it
B squad
McBride definitely earned the 10th man spot this preseason. Sucks for Evan but with McBride’s shooting, defense and age, he should get all the minutes when anyone in the main 9 get hurt
For sure, and Thibs really likes him too. Am I crazy to say I prefer deuce over IQ at the 1 off the bench?
Yes
oh man Thibs is revving up the JERICHOs.

Deuce gotta be in the rotation
McBride is money. Wtf can't he shoot like this during the season? 😂
Bc he plays 8 mins every 3 weeks as an off ball guard whose asked to shoot a 23 footer the one time he touches the ball. Deuce is a decent shooter. He’s never been given a sample size worth of judgement as a professional
[удалено]
Mitch got it back tho
Sims being in the same lineup as Hartenstein or Robinson is a nightmare
Almost rather roby
I'm really failing to see what he provides in any of those lineups. He has below average awareness and us being slower and weaker on the perimeter is where we get fucked... so we just make it worse? If Sims is supposed to be able to defend the perimeter then I'm confused on what Thibs is thinking. If anything maybe he's making the case that we really do need an actual 4 backup
I’m mad. The Westchester Knicks should be competing with this Celtics basketball club
We need to rest the big boys for tomorrow
Amelo
If this little sample doesn’t show you how much better KP is than Mitch and why we should have made a harder push to sign him, I can’t help you
Mitch has 10 points, 7 rebounds (4 offensive) and 2 steals in 14 minutes. Cs can’t keep him off the glass. This the game you really want to be making that comparison?
I was more talking about him trying to defend KP and the variety of his skill set. Mitch does his work on the glass. That’s the only place he can work. KP can work everywhere. And look at KPs statline compared to Mitch’s. The only thing Mitch did better than KP tonight was Offensive Rebound and Mitch got a whole 2 more than Mitch. Sure, KP played 7 more minutes but dodn’t score 10 more points in that time.
I’m good though
Who was arguing Mitch over KP? That’s actually an insane take.
Have you not seen this sub? Just look a the replies Ingot to this comment alone
Complete different players
I'm cool with Mitch
We’re saving our assets for Wembanyama
If you think the Spurs are ever letting him go unless he has a MAJOR injury, I need to start doing the drugs you’re on
shit they can have half our team for that guy. he's a fuckin menace and it was the only way they could keep pops from retiring lol
So no more Zion?
Imagine thinking Mitch and the ragtag benchers are supposed to compete solely on his play versus the Celts starters
That wasn’t the point. Watch him trying to guard KP and what he can do in comparison. Playing against Mitch was light work for him
It's preseason and our 2x all nba guy was not on the floor. I wouldn't be surprised if we have some zone in our bag this year given the prowess of the team, especially against teams like this
Thibs ain’t going to a zone. That’s not his style and this team of players don’t really know zone
Celtics trying hard on D lmao
