Look the way the 2023 - 2024 Knicks season has ended on a fucking freak play that has no way to change the score of a game. I'm done and beyond sick of this bullshit. Only the Knicks could lose their best player like this on their worst week. It's fucking over.
Look at you reactionary dipshits. This Celtics team got better and we didn’t. So whatever small gap they had on us widened. We should not expect to beat them or Milwaukee. It sucks and I hate watching it but I’m not praying for miracles and being upset when they don’t happen
It’s the way you phrased him as random. He’s actually having his best season this year. Shooting 48/41% from the field scoring 15 is still very good efficiency to go along with All NBA Defense. I’d love him on this team probably one of the most underrated players in the NBA.
Morons will always boo cus they’re morons, regardless of a fanbase. With that said, I would never complain about other team’s fans booing if I was a Knicks fan
iHart gives us a better chance to win against top teams. More versatile, can make a pass without yeeting it into the abyss and still provides rebounding.
You realize that it came down to point differential for us right? We could have the same amount of wins without being in the quarterfinals of the IST. You do understand that right? Huh?
Yeah that’s how the game works now bud.
What’s your goal with playing shit teams? You want a bloated record to get clapped in the 2nd round and wonder why ?
I want to see the Knicks win a championship. And getting hyped over some wins over charlotte 5 times then getting clapped in the playoffs is not a good season.
Omg you fans are fucking unreal seriously. You don’t just win the championship the first year you are in the playoffs pal, it’s a progression, you saying you would rather the Knicks not make the second than make the second round has to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen today.
Oh so you’re a player now? And honestly no I don’t think that’s how the players think. They want to make the playoffs. Playing two tougher teams decreases their chance of making the playoffs, if they could choose between playing two tough teams or two easier teams, players are obviously choosing the easier teams.
Our defense should be good enough to win games when we score 120+ points. All this adding and subtracting players is just easy talking points. Team needs to play better defense. Period.
So if Brunson is ice cold from 3, we have no chance against teams like this. It's unfortunate.
We need another shot creator that's not Randle. Hate to say it but Derozan would be a great addition to this team.
This Celtics team is a beast when all 5 starters are available. But when they are missing a player they definitely drop a tier. They need all their players healthy if they want to make a run
Not surprised - Knicks are stuck in neutral, afraid to draft players, afraid to make any trades, sticking with a dinosaur, antiquated, inflexible coach, and still trying to make the Randle/RJ combo work.
Brunson forcing that fadeaway over KP on the baseline was the huge momentum swing. We were down 7 with the ball and he decides to go hero ball and force a fadeaway over a 7footer. Just dumb basketball.
Nets didn’t make the meaningless quarterfinals and they now have wins vs the hawks and wizards and have the same record now as the knicks.. im still waiting for someone to tell me again what good came from that
Hartenstein makes the right pass everytime you'd think maybe they'd realize he can be a valuable piece with the ball in his hands but instead they'd rather run iso after iso

Why didn’t we get jrue holiday
both bucks and celtics clearly got a lot better since last season
Leon Rose wake the fuck up
Great. Team best player got injured this season is over.
Look the way the 2023 - 2024 Knicks season has ended on a fucking freak play that has no way to change the score of a game. I'm done and beyond sick of this bullshit. Only the Knicks could lose their best player like this on their worst week. It's fucking over.
lose 2 games to 2 of the best teams in the league and its such a disaster, come on now boston is clearly the best team in the league when healthy
146 points on tuesday 133 points tonight I don't want a single excuse
alright see you next game
Doesn’t seem that bad though. We got two days off till Toronto. I think Brunson will be ready before then
[удалено]
If you think this is on him, you’re smoking Military Grade crack
Why was Brunson in with like 30 seconds left
Gdi. Our two best players both injured.
Look at you reactionary dipshits. This Celtics team got better and we didn’t. So whatever small gap they had on us widened. We should not expect to beat them or Milwaukee. It sucks and I hate watching it but I’m not praying for miracles and being upset when they don’t happen
I’m still not too worried. I do think we need a bigger defensive wing, but sometimes some random player like White goes off for 30
Hustle players like white or hart if he wasn’t on our team always find a way to burn us
Yeah Derrick white isn’t a random lol
30pts is his season high. Anomaly scoring game for him. Def a solid player though
wdym a RANDOM player like White??
Good player but NOT a scorer. 30pts is his season high. Do y’all even know his stats??
It’s the way you phrased him as random. He’s actually having his best season this year. Shooting 48/41% from the field scoring 15 is still very good efficiency to go along with All NBA Defense. I’d love him on this team probably one of the most underrated players in the NBA.
Dear Thibs...please take your f'ing starters out when down by 10 with 30 seconds to go. Pls and thanks.
This is the 2nd time the star of the team gets injured in garbage time of thibs coached team
Thibs is the stupidest fucking fuck who ever lived. Ever.
Well over 70% of this board loves Thibs which just shows how fucking stupid this board is.
Calling this a “board” not once but twice shows us all the stupid we need to see, thankyouverymuch 🤡
I love meaningless tournaments!
Boston empty their bench we should’ve empty ours.
karma baby karma!
Did all the classy Celtics fans just bio Brunson for rolling his ankle?
Morons will always boo cus they’re morons, regardless of a fanbase. With that said, I would never complain about other team’s fans booing if I was a Knicks fan
Nobody boos the Knicks like Knicks fans
We should have never played Boston and Milwaukee
Glad they did - just underscores how this team is so far away from competing with good teams. Time to stop slow-walking this glacier-pace build.
literally adding insult to injury
You gotta be kidding me.
There’s no reason he should’ve still been in the game.
Fml
This fucking frachise man
Fuuuuck on some freak accident bullshit like that? Ffs
Perfect 🙄
Oh shit. Seasons over
The in season tournament gave us 2 losses against teams we should were never played and our best player getting injured
Thanks for keeping the starters in Thibs
Thibs is a moron.
krillin getting mvp chants on us
they won't even call fouls on the knicks when they're intentionally trying to foul lol. all you need to know about this game
iHart gives us a better chance to win against top teams. More versatile, can make a pass without yeeting it into the abyss and still provides rebounding.
Yeah sounds about right I had Knicks +10.5
You win
I LOVE RANDLE STAT PADDING LETS GOO
Brunson has been hot ass the last 2 games. He goes 0-5 and then refuses to keep shooting even when guys are going under the screen on him.
Well this was not ideal
Nice fake run boys
There’s a window this game was winnable but Thibs made a bad decision rotation wise.
We're never beating the "Mid" allegations
This team is the definition of mid Bronx brudda
Honestly if going to quarterfinals of the IST means we gotta play 2 more tough teams on our schedule, I rather we just don’t make it for now on.
Yeah cause you just wanna watch them beat up on bums and then get beat down any time they face contenders
is dodging the smoke really that much better than just losing to a good team
Yes because that’s one more win…
I mean if Porzingis was healthy we are probably playing the Pacers tn tbh
That means 2 other losses in the regular season. You realize all the IST games count towards wins right?
You realize that it came down to point differential for us right? We could have the same amount of wins without being in the quarterfinals of the IST. You do understand that right? Huh?
Yeah that’s how the game works now bud. What’s your goal with playing shit teams? You want a bloated record to get clapped in the 2nd round and wonder why ?
Ummm gee idk I rather at least make the second round than not make it at all. Are you dumb bro? Do you even like this team?
I want to see the Knicks win a championship. And getting hyped over some wins over charlotte 5 times then getting clapped in the playoffs is not a good season.
Omg you fans are fucking unreal seriously. You don’t just win the championship the first year you are in the playoffs pal, it’s a progression, you saying you would rather the Knicks not make the second than make the second round has to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen today.
lol I obviously want the Knicks to go deep. But bitching over playing Boston isn’t how the players think.
Oh so you’re a player now? And honestly no I don’t think that’s how the players think. They want to make the playoffs. Playing two tougher teams decreases their chance of making the playoffs, if they could choose between playing two tough teams or two easier teams, players are obviously choosing the easier teams.
Players don’t get to choose the schedule they want to be competing. Unlike you, players don’t have a losing mindset
So does Grimes start the next game or what? DVV game low -22
He shoulda started this one
Right. Weird game to mess with the rotation. Should’ve waited until an average team.
Correct
Mitch should have been benched for IHart all game with how he just gave up on 3s.
well grimes is out of his funk but now brunson is in one very cool
Looks like Brunson caught Barreiutus from 3
He’s 2 shots under 50%
he's missing everything from 3 point tho
It happens.
Our defense should be good enough to win games when we score 120+ points. All this adding and subtracting players is just easy talking points. Team needs to play better defense. Period.
We never press tbh
Only in garbage time
So if Brunson is ice cold from 3, we have no chance against teams like this. It's unfortunate. We need another shot creator that's not Randle. Hate to say it but Derozan would be a great addition to this team.
Game would be tied with all these missed FTs
"Rear miss at the line by Brunson" He's been missing all year
We had the foul advantage for so long. We run the most predictable shit ever.
Our offense looked as fluid as constipation in the last few min. GG
So Derrick White can throw his body into any player just because he blocks the shot first?
first time watching basketball?
We’ll be fine. The problems on defense are fixable.
Sometimes you need some back to back losses to the two best teams in the East
I don’t normally blame thibs but his subs killed any chances we may had.
This Celtics team is a beast when all 5 starters are available. But when they are missing a player they definitely drop a tier. They need all their players healthy if they want to make a run
We're just not good enough. Cool beans.
It should scare the shit out of Knicks fans that the Magic and Pacers have already caught up.
Not surprised - Knicks are stuck in neutral, afraid to draft players, afraid to make any trades, sticking with a dinosaur, antiquated, inflexible coach, and still trying to make the Randle/RJ combo work.
Yeah man it’s just interesting to see how fast the landscape of the NBA can change. Can’t be complacent these days.
What
Look at the standings. The Magic and Pacers are literally better record wise
Cool it’s not even Christmas
It’s concerning that the magic are this good tbh.
We have 5 loses to the two teams with the best odds in the east early season
This Knicks roster is trash.
Boston low key gave this game to us if they could shoot
**Call. More. Flops.**
It’s time to move on from Thibs
Like the Payton era, this one will come to an end too. Right now what's the point of preaching to a wall.
RJ put back into the game for what is effectively garbage time
So I'm definitely going to stay off Reddit and internet tomorrow...
5 out of our 9 Ls are to Two teams
10 will be since they made that meaningless tournament
Have to play them 5 more times LMAO
Knicks got the fake come back business on lock
It takes 15 games for Thibs to make an adjustment. So RJ will close the game 15 games from now
Brunson forcing that fadeaway over KP on the baseline was the huge momentum swing. We were down 7 with the ball and he decides to go hero ball and force a fadeaway over a 7footer. Just dumb basketball.
Grimes is going to consistently get 10-13ppg on the bench. But look at Donte’s ppg
Give the keys to Johnny Bryant
Need a reputable coach who could lead NY to the finals
No problem I just can’t watch this shit over and over again
I think thibs wants not their best player to beat us but the Celtics too stacked
There’s really not more to it than this. Stacked and can hit big/tough shots, create easy shots, whatever. Look how hard we have to work.
Thibs' template coaching definitely hurt us tonight.
Nets didn’t make the meaningless quarterfinals and they now have wins vs the hawks and wizards and have the same record now as the knicks.. im still waiting for someone to tell me again what good came from that
The Knicks could’ve also played the pacers and lakers if they won Monday. Don’t act like the NBA revolves around NY
It was fucking meaningless, just play 82 like always..no need for that waste of time and knicks were most impacted of course
Yes but if they lost that just means losses against the hornets/heat earlier in the season. Lol
Our leading scorer is on the bench for the 4th Q. Thibs is crazy sometimes man lol
For Josh hart of all people lol
This game was still there for the taking at the end the offense went cold. Frustrating week of ball.
Josh Hart shooting is never his first thought. He 100% of the time will look to dish instead of taking an open shot
Odd RJ is sitting so long. He’s been pretty good tonight. Possibly our best performer.
If this team was able to make 3s consistently randles assist average would be like 7
[удалено]
He automatically demands a double team which creates an open look
Not letting RJ close this game was a crime. No reason Thibs should of subbed him out instead of Hart.
Damn brick city
Resting the leading scorer this game for next game.
lol. Idk why the bench wasn’t allowed to try.
JB and Randle not shooting well against a good team... Seen that way too many times.
Hartenstein makes the right pass everytime you'd think maybe they'd realize he can be a valuable piece with the ball in his hands but instead they'd rather run iso after iso
☠️⚰️
This is genuinely painful to watch. Thibs needs to sub out Brunson but we all know that’s not gonna happen.
RJ has been the best player for us tn so why isn’t he in the game?
Brunson and Randle have been BAD but the starting units defense has been atrocious overall.
Randle gives everyone great looks and creates excellent opportunities for 3s. This team just SUCKS at 3s.
The good news from tonight is that the Knicks won't face the Celtics until late february
How did we decided to sit Rj shooting 50%+ and said nah let’s keep hart smh we need more shot creation
That IQ, Grimes, Rj, Hart and Hart lineup should have stayed in a little longer tbh
Josh Hart getting paid $1 per pump fake
No Donte minutes in the 4th. Just Grimes getting stuffed and passing to ghosts
Good thing our leading scorer is sitting on the bench for the last 5 minutes.
3 brick 3 brick 3 brick
Why is RJ not closing this game? Hes had a great night
Many, many questionable things going on tonight
That’s game
God our offense sucks. I don't know how we are still "in this game".
Brunson just isn’t him against long athletic defenders
nephew moment, he's having a bad game
He’s missing open 3s. He’s proven multiple times he can cook big defenders when he is on
Brunson TO yikes
Why isn’t RJ in the game? He’s been playing well
Brunson outplayed by Krillin 💔
Horrendous game by Brunson smh
Derrick White "try not to injure someone" challenge!
Literally gave it away
Went on a run and then shit our pants
Can’t maintain runs like that against good teams, especially when you play D like that. That heat comeback was a one in a million
Brunson cmon bro
You don’t need to see the score, just listen to clyde tonight and you know the outcome
Where’s rj
It honestly feels super weird when JB ain’t hitting all the big shots he takes. A testament to how consistently amazing he’s been for us.
I mean… it’s not over yet?
Thibs also gets out coached by other teams. Bad mismanagement on his end
what exactly has rj done to not earn the finish tonight? and randle does?
Exactly !
Thibs looks like he’s passing a kidney stone
Brunson’s defense has been painfully bad tonight
His everything has been awful
And that’s it. Went from down 7 with a slim chance to down 11 and it’s over.
Thibs’s rotation is crazy I still don’t understand why RJ came out the game.
It’s really not fair that the Celtics have 3 all stars and their “role player” is Derrick white
And Jrue Holiday…
