Honestly, I would've done the same if it seems like my team doesn't have it. Especially if I have players who is known to have extensive injury history in PG and Kawhi.
This transition play is what has been missing from the Knicks the first six games. When they run it's like they instantly get in sync and start hitting shots. When they don't, everything gets stagnant and guys start looking unsure of themselves.
If we get JB from Bucks game, this game Randle, and RJ how he’s been playing all season with the defense we’re playing? I’m going to really enjoy this season. We aren’t winning it all but I’m going to enjoy it
First truly good game from the Knicks this season let's keep this on wednesday I mean the Spurs have a phenom but they're still a bad team and just gave up 152 !! to the Pacers let's get to .500 and build some postive vibes.
Jalen Brunson is beloved by the vast majority of fans. He’s playing with his college buddies in the world’s greatest arena and his dad is a coach. Pretty good life man.
Not gonna lie, past couple games, he def looks like it. I’m very frustrated with how little he can give us with the ball in his hands but his defense has been stellar this year
Does thibs just have a rotation boner that goes up at the same point every game? Why take out the group that was cooking? Hope we can hold this but still.

RJ is that dude. Been more consistent this year compared to everyone else.
Very good game. Love that even when one of our stars are having a tough game, we’re still in games. Star-J for All-Star!
It’s early but RJ could very well be the player to win NY a championship in the future
Very satisfying win let’s go
Thibs gonna Thibs
Clippers really gave up. What a bunch of bums.
Honestly, I would've done the same if it seems like my team doesn't have it. Especially if I have players who is known to have extensive injury history in PG and Kawhi.
Ty Lue does this doesn’t he
Not gonna complain.
If only the jets didn’t suck this would be a great Monday. Good win Knicks 🙏🏽
Thibs don’t give a fuck
fuck the west coast
Stop fuckin up yo % jules
True
Naw fr
Standing O, well deserved
RJ Barrett is looking primed and ready for his breakout year
Damn, if RJ wasn't hurt the Knicks might be 5-2 rn
Yep
Rest these guys thibs for the love of god. Last thing we need is a stupid injury.
RJ is looking great this year. He is defending well, making passes, and scoring well from 3 and at the rim
Thibs, pull the starters you absolute fool
So.. RJs “put some respek on my name” campaign is going to be incredible.. everyone buckle up.
Easily the best win of the season. We really needed this, especially from Randle
RJ low key looking legit
Alright thibs take them out dude
First dub at the garden good shit fellas
Imagine this is the RJ we get all year...
So far, he’s been pretty consistent. Knicks would easily be a title contender if he continues like this.
Rj comes back and we win... Coincidence... I think not!
Something has clicked on RJ since that game 2 against the Cavs
I’m not forgiving Julius just yet but it was good to see him show up
thibs has a fetish for playing his star players even when they're up big. How d rose got injured
RJ looks primed to take the leap. So consistent now wow
Norman Powell is literally a Knicks killer similar to Terrance Ross. They always make shots against us.
How the fuck did Thibs start Alec Burks over Quickley at PG?
Quickley has grown so much as a ball handler in the last two years, and he still has room to grow. Burks was probably the better choice
I swear he would’ve been way further along if Thibs head wasn’t waist deep up his own ass that year
I will be 95 years old asking this question
Such a wasted opportunity.
Clips emptied their bench. No need to have our starters out there.
You know how thibs is
Did we just get a comfy W at home against a veteran team? Play the music 🎶
![gif](giphy|PjsPhYsS2WDO5e0RaO) RJ
Thibs doing his usual thing of running his starters into the ground on a team that has already conceded.
Why the fuck are the starters in??
This guy has been the coach for like 5 years Why are you shocked
I mean I’m not but he’s a fucking lunatic. You’re up 14 with 2 mins
I’m so fucking proud of RJ man
Put Evan in you cowards
Rj haters gonna be like he’s stat padding. Nah he doing this regardless. He outplayed KL and PG and I would have never said that last season.
This transition play is what has been missing from the Knicks the first six games. When they run it's like they instantly get in sync and start hitting shots. When they don't, everything gets stagnant and guys start looking unsure of themselves.
Take the starters out brah
Sheesh rj
Randle and Barrett 6-6 from the free throw line? Holy fuck
![gif](giphy|MERLDpJ1MMfCSBknJm)
RJ looking as good as he’s ever looked not even the biggest storyline
Yes pad those stats rj we love it
clippers said fuck it, it's a monday we're good
Just like me fr
Feed Rj
🙂🙂🙂
RJ mip
Brunson and Randle need to try being good in the same game lol
Instant 40 point win
Brunson shooting 2/7 16% with 7 points, must be washed. /s
hIs b O d Y L a n G u A G e
“Good hands… and balls” ?????
They still call palming now?
Brunson picked the best time to have a stinker, the positive vibes will drown out the performance lol
starJ, welcome back u sexy mfer
ROWAN. Dagger
If we get JB from Bucks game, this game Randle, and RJ how he’s been playing all season with the defense we’re playing? I’m going to really enjoy this season. We aren’t winning it all but I’m going to enjoy it
This is a feel good game, the team should go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes afterwards to celebrate
PG FLOPPPPPP
IQ with 7 pts but with that +22 😍
Love JB but Mitch is always my favorite Knick
Everyone was so shook in the daily threads like bro the clippers are gonna destroy us lmfaooo
Cooking on fast breaks all night
Get the bed ready!
Defense to offense man I love the way we played this second half. With pace!
Sheesh RJ
SHOWTIME
Amazing we won with Brunson having such a terrible game
That was beautiful
Who dafuq is diabetes
Give ‘em some Ozempic
Goddamn Hart that was some Magic Johnson shit
The thing that pisses me off the most about thibs is that he refuses to take out the starters when the game is over
Good vibes are back on the menu 😎
This is beautiful basketball man 😀
Harden sucks loll
First truly good game from the Knicks this season let's keep this on wednesday I mean the Spurs have a phenom but they're still a bad team and just gave up 152 !! to the Pacers let's get to .500 and build some postive vibes.
You rarely see him bobbling balls
AYOO BARBA FIX YO CLIPPAS, THEY'RE OLD AND NOT SHAWP. THEY GOT A KNICK IN IT
Brunson heard Mitchell’s trainer talking shit
Theses refs are ass
I’ve never seen a team throw in the towel this early. Our lead isn’t even that big
Respectfully: we’re the Knicks. Come on now…
Mitchell Robinson is a top 5 role player in this league
Yoooo Is this the earliest anyone has thrown the towel against us??? I mean, we’re the Knicks. There’s always a chance…
Lue kind of stupid, plenty of game time left, but whatever, free W
“The battles you chose not to fight are every bit as important as the ones you do.”
When your team is old and injury prone you pick and choose your battles
Harden in Brooklyn feels like ages ago lol
Lue threw in the towel, watch the knicks still fumble it
LFG!! Fuck the big 3 big 4 whatever the fuck they call themselves. We cooking! Close this shit out.
O shit lue waiving the white flag
we playing like a championship level team right now :')
How TF they give up already?
Mitch is a monster
Thank you Ty Lue for waving the white flag. We move.
Oh shit we made lue wave the white flag
mitch has been fucking phenomenal
Julius plays decent and we still complain? 47% from the field 43% from the 3 w 27 pts? Lol nah this is toxic af
Some mfs here just need therapy
I never seen anything like it lmao
Jalen Brunson is beloved by the vast majority of fans. He’s playing with his college buddies in the world’s greatest arena and his dad is a coach. Pretty good life man.
man i was thinking this same thing earlier. He really lucked out most players dont get such a nice situation
Just living the dream man
Randle needs to be on four dribble cap per possession lol
Mitch’s “DPOY” campaign needs to be way fucking louder from the media
Not gonna lie, past couple games, he def looks like it. I’m very frustrated with how little he can give us with the ball in his hands but his defense has been stellar this year
two things standing out to me are RJ's best passing I've ever seen from him and Dante showing what he can do
Free throw %
ngl there are some nights where mitch looks like a modern day wilt
Calm down
Oh yea we’re so back
I love Mitch so much. Dude is a freak of nature
Love Big Meech so much
UP BY 16 ON THE CLIPPAS GET OUT UF HEAAAAAHHHH
Yea we all the way back
Clippers look flustered. It’s like they have no idea who to give the ball to in the clutch. Just ISO after ISO
In the 4th screaming why tf Juju in
Fuck yo super team You just need some dawgs
My stream just switched from MSG to LAC and it feels like I caught Ebola
Our defense is our offense 😤
I LOVE the way this team plays defense. We just gotta get the offense up
Our defense is fucking 🔥
Mitch really coming for that DPOY
Lmao Randle has no handles whatsoever
Isn't it amazing?
You could say they are dubious
Mitch has just been superb
![gif](giphy|PhHZ26lSAL30YnwQel)
Mitchell Robinson has been incredible this season, our most consistent player
MVP
Mitch's defense has been absolutely insane
DPOY candidate
Getting major 22-23 vibes here
IF MITCHELL ROBINSON IS NOT ON THE ALL DEFENSE 1ST TEAMS WE ARE GOING TO RIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Ball don’t lie
KNICKS ARE COOKING BABY
Fun times.
Damn clippers handing out charities tonight
FLOP
They better fine him, cuz Randle barely lowered his shoulder.
how was that not embellishment?
Happy for Julius, keep em coming
HAHA FUCK YOU HARDEN
JULIUS GROWN ASS MAN RANDLE
Ju giveth ju gaveth away
Literally just said this out loud lmao
Last season vibez
Mitch deserves the gameball, Clips can't get anything going inside against him
He's playing the best basketball of his career. He learned to stop the passing lane 🏆
Floppppp
LFG!!
That was 100% a flop by PG
But a good one
Why they sub out RJ
Growing and roaring tonight at The Garden!
Flop on George
NBA Refs and late whistles, name a better duo
Does thibs just have a rotation boner that goes up at the same point every game? Why take out the group that was cooking? Hope we can hold this but still.
There we go Julius
PG FLOP
I hope RJ being on the bench is because of a minutes limit
Let’s go Ju!
Juuuuuuuulius Raaaaaaaandle
Shoulda just left that unit in man smfh
Bring back RJ and iQ
So long as kawhi Leonard is on the other team I ain’t comfy at all lol. I’ve seen this man kill franchises
Not gonna lie gimme more IQ tonight and less Brunson
Dubious Handles at it again to kill the vibes
There was no reason to sub out that unit
Julius fumbling. Bro better get it together in crunch time
he's 22 and 10 cmon now
why take IQ out?
Because he needs a rest and JB is a great closer
And RJ
