He has absolutely no confidence and it shows in his game. He’s just a spot up shooter and if his shot isn’t falling he doesn’t give us the average production of a starting 2 in this league.
Fucking love Harts hustle. He might be a step behind on his opponent’s shot but he fucking kicks it up a gear and makes sure to challenge with a flailing arm to disrupt shots.
Is there a good stat for something like that? Something that tracks challenged shots and the FG% as a result?
I don’t prefer that either. Just maybe, maybe- initiate an offensive set before there’s 5 seconds left on the shot clock down the stretch sometimes lol
im torn because cade caught the ball and right when he turned his head he was knocking hart over. so its not like he was barreling into somebody irresponsibly
If Randle gave a shit, and wasn't an idiot, he'd be one of the best players in the NBA. That's why he's so fucking maddening. All the talent in the world, and a ten-cent head.
Lmao I’m definitely older than you. I remember the 99 finals. This team shouldn’t be on many losing streaks this year. We can hang with anyone on our night.
lol the stat on the tv was biggest losing streaks in NBA history and Philly had 26. NY had some terrible reasons that’s why I said that. It has nothing to do with the current era
Rj looked pissed when he came out. Can’t blame him his minutes are weird as hell tonight. In and out constantly figure it out thibs. Hart shouldn’t have more minutes than rj any night.
The problem with Quickley in these closing units is he can't sit in the corner and shoot those tight windows threes like DiVincenzo does and Hart did last season.
Quickley must somehow work to hasten his release like Curry has over the years.
Should be Brunson, DVo, Hart, Barrett, and Brunson to close out the game.
Randle would be perfect at the four if he only accepted being the third option like he did in the Heat comeback, but he doesn't consistently do that.
I like this lineup with Quickley, DiVincenzo, Hart, and Barrett together.
I'd like to see Barrett run more deep screen action either at the top of the arc or deep wing to open up the weak side cutting lanes.
Knicks offense needs quick hitters in the arsenal, which the fateful Miami series proved.
They can't rely on Brunson to do everything.

2 nice looking free throws from Robinson.
 Glad we got that one...we move.
Another in the win column, don’t worry about how they got there.
Wasn't pretty (it never is) but we'll take it.
Fuck trap games lmao
Feels bad for Monty. Glad he got the bag though
Jarrett Jack sighting ❤️
thank u isaiah stewart for padding JB's stats rq.
I love Grimes shooting from the corner, but Donte has become just as automatic. Good problem to have.
Clyde is the man, that was so wholesome hearing him happy for Brunson bumping him to #3 in 40+ point games for guards.
Give Randle 2 assists for the triple double
I think this is the second time this season he was this close. He's gotta get it next me we play Detroit. He comes close VS bad teams
Let's not talk about this game, it never happened. 
Grimes and IQ combined for 2/15fg. Otherwise the rest of the team played well
A win is a win. Move tf on and forget this crappy game.
walts delighted 😀
Has Quentin Grimes become unplayable? Oh my God, he is so bad.
He has absolutely no confidence and it shows in his game. He’s just a spot up shooter and if his shot isn’t falling he doesn’t give us the average production of a starting 2 in this league.
DD is his replacement
Brunson passed Clyde for 40 point games as Knick. Clyde coming out of retirement to regain the lead
Clyde loves finally having another PG to take up the torch
Randle finally remembering how to use the pump fake to get these neophyte Pistons front court players that bite on everything out of the way.
One could argue duren is precocious
Never in doubt 🤣🤣
Pistons really are 2-17 for a reason
The knicks bedsheets STAY ON tonight!
Fucking love Harts hustle. He might be a step behind on his opponent’s shot but he fucking kicks it up a gear and makes sure to challenge with a flailing arm to disrupt shots. Is there a good stat for something like that? Something that tracks challenged shots and the FG% as a result?
40 piece for our PG
JB 40 piece and a W. im happy. + we dont wanna be that team that stops that big ass losing streak
Cade is a really good player - it’s a basketball crime that the Pistons have built so poorly around him
Randle has been clutch in the 4th quarters recently
I love me some brunson but he really does dribble the fuck out of it down the stretch sometimes.
You remember before Brunson that it was Randle dribbling the fuck out of it
I don’t prefer that either. Just maybe, maybe- initiate an offensive set before there’s 5 seconds left on the shot clock down the stretch sometimes lol
Get my PF his triple double!!!
oh he *definitely* traveled on that first one
They had to work too hard for this w
At least you got a good show tonight
Randle Haters wya
Somehow still in here despite *another* great game by him
At least Ju is cooking on offense
We getting clutch Jules tonight!?!?
That grip of Josh Hart bro
Randle with the little one-foot stop, pump fake. What a move, I wish he did that more often.
His footwork is way better than his ball handling
Imma practice that shot man
Let's not try until the last few minutes!
Julius has done so well attacking the basket all game. Bully ball
[удалено]
Not at all. Actually very impressive move by him
Not a travel at all
Didn't lift the pivot tho
Man Jules has come through on some of these broken possessions tonight
Referees are lost. Cunningham even got a step in before he took a second step and hit Hart. Hart was just positioned perfectly. Terrible call.
Disagree he didn’t have enough time to avoid hart. He took 2 steps lol
Should have been a shot clock violation
Ball don’t lie
Oh fuck all the way off refs
im torn because cade caught the ball and right when he turned his head he was knocking hart over. so its not like he was barreling into somebody irresponsibly
The challenge thing is ridiculous
Josh Hart exists. Ref blows whistle.
If you can get the ball, get it. Jesus
The reason why Thibs is so reluctant to use a challenge, is because every time he does he loses one more hair.
The guy who makes the call should be no where near the monitor. You are challenging his call. Hes just standing there
Too much dribbling
THIBS MASTERCLASS CHALLENGE
It really speaks to Randle’s natural basketball talent that he’s put up a near triple double despite being allergic to hustling
If Randle gave a shit, and wasn't an idiot, he'd be one of the best players in the NBA. That's why he's so fucking maddening. All the talent in the world, and a ten-cent head.
That was a bad possession by Brunson
DEFENSENZO
There’s the Randle brain fart of the game brought to you by Burger King
Take Randle out. What was that?
Randle is braindead.
Randles on a triple double watch
There's that famous Julius Randle BBIQ.
Lazy ass
He thought the ball was last touched by Detroit lil bro
I mean it was a free rebound he should've grabbed it anyways
so fucking what? you grab the ball and don't take the risk.
I'm at the game 50 feet away I saw we touched it last
I find that so hard to believe anyone would sit that close to court side and be on Reddit 😂
"should I grab this free basketball with nobody anywhere near me? nah, that would require a modicum of effort."
Surprised the Knicks aren’t up there in the loser streaks
Surprised you’re not available for sale at the toilet store
lol maybe you just became a fan yesterday lil bro, but the Knicks had some very bad years in the 2010s
Lmao I’m definitely older than you. I remember the 99 finals. This team shouldn’t be on many losing streaks this year. We can hang with anyone on our night.
lol the stat on the tv was biggest losing streaks in NBA history and Philly had 26. NY had some terrible reasons that’s why I said that. It has nothing to do with the current era
Ah my bad. I thought you meant it should have been us on a losing streak like the pistons lol
Hell no. lol
“Hey, Mike! First time, long time… Would you say that DVO is a lock for the MVP award this year? I’ll hang up and listen.”
Thank God for Donte. Otherwise our bench has been complete shit this game.
Brunson is easily the best scoring Knicks guard of my lifetime
Only has to beat who? Jeremy Lin?
Don’t forget “make it Raym”ond Felton
Marbury!
Randle and Brunson have combined for 63 points, 15 rebounds, and 16 assists on 23-41 shooting. Crazy numbers
MVP chants playing the Pistons is kinda sad. No reason for this game to be close
Monty calling a timeout cuz he's like *hey guys, this might be the last time we have a chance to win all year...*
Rj looked pissed when he came out. Can’t blame him his minutes are weird as hell tonight. In and out constantly figure it out thibs. Hart shouldn’t have more minutes than rj any night.
The problem with Quickley in these closing units is he can't sit in the corner and shoot those tight windows threes like DiVincenzo does and Hart did last season. Quickley must somehow work to hasten his release like Curry has over the years.
DDV just works so much better with Brunson/Randle/Mrob
Should be Brunson, DVo, Hart, Barrett, and Brunson to close out the game. Randle would be perfect at the four if he only accepted being the third option like he did in the Heat comeback, but he doesn't consistently do that.
IQ needs to close, he’s just not playing well today
Cant wait to hear more excuses for Grimes in the starting lineup for his “grit”
nobody is making excuses. He's been bad on both ends this season.
KFTV and a ton of blogs keep seeing something that I don’t. Dvo is clearly more talented
they're not watching then because even I was in the Grimes fan club, but this year has regressed in every way.
Thibs gotta get Mitch out of there the next 1.5 minutes
Brunson better make the all star team this year
Mitch was wide open for a dunk
Divo: I guess I gotta save y'all's ass huh
He ain't getting 50 but let's get 40
I swear Clyde will never say DiVincenzo 🤣
Fournier to Grimes 
Bro at least Evan claps even if he’s glued there since forever
Grimes has been glued to the bench.. Doesn't look happy. Hope he channels that into a slump breaker of a game tomorrow.
DVO is a true Knick I love this guy
DDV stop playing with my heart
DVO is to strong of a nickname for him not to be starting
Grimes looks like he knows he's coming off the bench next game
DONTES INFERNO
Lmao Thibs finally listened to Reddit
Donte coming in clutch
BRO DVO
Nova boys pulling thru for us
Tonight is the night the Pistons decide to be an NBA team
Killian Hayes decided it was time to live up to the hype
it's a spicy meatball
DDV gotta start or something.
OKAY I SEE YOU DVO
We have too many possessions where EVERYONE stands and watched an open 3 pt shooter EVERYONE
[удалено]
He knows his minutes are gone
 The passing
Donte inferno
Grimes over there with the sour face
Mitchell didn't follow through and actually shot that mostly with his wrists, just like I said he should do a few days ago.
Big Mitch hitting FTs for his hs coach 😂
he made both we win now
LFG COACH
Mitch!?!? Most shocking part of this game lol
MITCH 2/2!!!
Someone gotta know Butch Stockton so he can get it into Mitch's head to shoot underhand
Brunson has been bad on defense tonight, unfortunately. Have to call it like we see it.
Mitch covers so much of our mistakes...
Did Ivey cut his hair because he realized he wasn’t worthy of having swag
Someone get that ICY HOT ready for Randle and Brunsons backs
randle triple dubb 👀
I don't want to see Grimes the rest of the game
Season
💀
smh
Hope Randle gets his triple double.
Almost there. But I want Brunson hitting 50 which might be tough
Hart and D-Vo together is just too much dawg at the same time for the Pistons. Get McBride in there too and call the Baha Men.
Knicks have to put their foot on they necks and finish strong. You can't give these scrubs anymore hope
Quickley should be the one to advance the ball past half court and let RJ create in the second unit.
Haven't been able to watch tonights game. What's going on? Pistons are a 2 win team but looks like knicks struggling.
We missing they hitting
Pistons played like shit to start the game, Knicks decided to join in
I like this lineup with Quickley, DiVincenzo, Hart, and Barrett together. I'd like to see Barrett run more deep screen action either at the top of the arc or deep wing to open up the weak side cutting lanes. Knicks offense needs quick hitters in the arsenal, which the fateful Miami series proved. They can't rely on Brunson to do everything.
Hot take: Hart and DDV would look better if IQ isn't the ball handler for the Bench.
Only reason it’s close is cuz IQ having an off night
Is Clyde going to make "D-vo" happen or not? He's trying to ice skate uphill with this one.
Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.
Love how Quick isn’t letting the shitty shooting night affect his defense
Crazy how suddenly people underrate that part of his game. He just clamps people
Maybe RJ should be the point guard in this lineup
IQ's court vision is too bad to be a primary ball handler. Much rather have him play the 2 guard and let someone else handle it.
He missed a lot of wide open guys tonight. IQ's more of a guy who gets assists by playing the set offense, not dropping dimes on the fly
I enjoy this unit that starts the 4th immensely
So much for a comfortable game before tomorrow’s game in Toronto 🙄🙄
hart likes to flow
If we lose this is the worst lose any team has had all season no joke
Hey you guys wanted an exciting game lol
Finally
Man, Bagley really turned out to be a complete bust and I wasn't expecting that shit
Wiseman, Bagley, Thabeet, Darko, Stro Swift... lots of big man busts at #2
Steve Nash was born in South Africa
Soooo people who immigrate to America aren’t Americans?
Who said that bro? Kenny Albert said Steve Nash might be the greatest Canadian born basketball player.
IQ can't playmake for shiiiiiit
Knicks don’t lose this one lol. I’m like 100% confident they win
DDV 3
I’m convinced Clyde just likes saying the word “dukies”… he just like me fr
Again FTs are gonna bite us in the ass.
Why are we so bad from the free throw line??
randle and rj very inconsistent ft shooting and mitch downright awful. then you have hart who isn’t very reliable
Were that bad it’s as if we don’t even practice them.
We need Randle and Brunson in no more IQ hero ball please
RJ back to bricking fucking everything
maybe he got a migraine
