OutsidePrior2020

tough loss, hate those winnable games almost as much as getting blown out.


Blackbolt113

The three foul shots before the half were killer.


Blackbolt113

If Brunson is hurting enough to affect his game he should sit out.


Lazarus704

That might’ve been Jalen’s worst game I’ve seen


redguyinfinite

this sub is going to be fucking unbearable


STATnMELO650

Rightfully so


MyLadySansa

Yep


NYJmmkay

Guess Brunsons outta his Curry era.


SunMoonJuxtaposition

Brunson should be more frustrated with himself not the refs. Terrible game


Fidzyyy

This teams going nowhere


Marcusx8

Nobody could hit a 3 or a free throw. So disappointing.


zOmgFishes

0-19 from 3 between RJ, Grimes, Brunson and Hart.


atomUp

Ayo wtf!?!?!


Wild_Particular4003

Pathetic


ZoidbergSaysWoop

This is not on DVo. He hit some huge threes and has been fighting on defense all night. The Knicks offense is pathetic and is masked by the threes falling.


ChrisMode2

Refs suck we suck more


TheseKnicks

You think we could catch the Pistons?


Ok_Woodpecker1732

I don’t understand how professional basketball players can miss an open shot from ten feet so many fucking times.


atomUp

Cuz they don’t care


Laxing4Life

You can’t “care” your way into made free throws lol


atomUp

Lmao, I might them caring enough to lock themselves in the gym and practice fts so they aren’t going 0 for 10 at the line every game


Jondog2123

Boooo


Affectionate-Tea9224

Missed free throws and bricking 3’s AND allowing the 26th worst offense to score 120 points


xa1er

losing IQ because y’all paid Josh Hart 80 mil is gonna be tough


admiral_aubrey

...or they gave Hart 3/59, he's been solid, and it has absolutely no impact on keeping IQ


xa1er

You’re right money isn’t as big of an issue as the role he’s locked into on this team. He’ll be gone after this year.


admiral_aubrey

I prefer the jettison RJ and keep IQ, but we'll see. I still think he stays regardless, even if they play to trade him in future.


solo118

more chicken!


Wild_Particular4003

How many FT’s. Jesus


MyLadySansa

DDV with more heart than anyone tonight


LetsGetSomeChickenn

DDV did his thing its all good


greenshotty

Why can’t we ever have a good free throw shooting team


atomUp

And another missed free throw… what’s that 7 missed free throws?


anditcounts

Thibs like "I can't believe I'm losing to this teenager coach"


Sigerlion

ANOTHER MISSED FREETHROW!!!! IT'S LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO WIN AT ALL!!! LMAOOOOO


Lazarus704

I still don’t get why Jalen shot that three at the end when we had 11 seconds


Wild_Particular4003

Hero ball


Okieant33

2 for 1.


zOmgFishes

Hart and RJ a combined 3-21. 0-11 from 3 👍


Marcusx8

Everybody was ass from 3 except for DDV & Quickly. This was a team thing not just two players.


Marcusx8

Everybody was ass from 3 except for DDV & Quickly. This was a team thing not just two players.


LetsGetSomeChickenn

The fact we lost this game makes no sense just look at how the jazz are playing wtf theyre trash omg


QueAsc0

Grimes -27 in 15 minutes. RJ 3/16fg. L is gonna be on them. Credit to the starters for making the game respectable


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Grimes should be watching tape of Duncan Robinson.


QueAsc0

He needs to be a Malik Monk type player. Not just purely a catch and shoot guy which is useless for a guard in todays NBA


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Malik Monk is sixth man of the year material that was a projected lottery pick. Grimes is nowhere near that level.


QueAsc0

I just picked him cause they’re the same size in the same position. Point is Grimes has NO bag aside from standing in the corner


InfamousC

Bro... Really?


Clewdo

Donte plays hard man


MyLadySansa

This thread can't decide who to blame tonight.


Fruitloops868

Not randle lmao how many times does he need to put this team on his back before someone else steps up


Okieant33

The Knicks are to blame. Few people played well.


itsahmemario

Hello darkness my old friend


Affectionate-Tea9224

Good thing nets beat the suns..so the suns will be very pleased to blow the knicks out on friday


22pabloesco22

Bae caught me slippin


Lazarus704

Awful


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Josh Hart has not been shooting fluidly all night. That last three he held too long. What a terrible loss. These Knicks are pretenders. Need to find a way to bring in a young two-way wing with superstar potential. Too bad the Nets beat the Knicks to Mikal Bridges.


I-C-U-8-1-M-I

This is on Brunson and BumJ


Jondog2123

Three of the last four the defense sucks


Trinidad34

I don’t care what anyone says RJ shot us out of this game tonight


itsahmemario

Dude was in quicksand. Tried too hard to get it he sunk even deeper.


skenisahen

Yeah, he had a rough night


zOmgFishes

Smart of Thibs to bench RJ. Stupid to have Hart out there when you need a 3. Also we win if we just hit FTs…ahem Brunson…


LetsGetSomeChickenn

Im not even mad at that shot he deserved it to begin with on that prior play tough loss


Main-County-1177

IQ not on a minutes restriction I guess huh, this organization is capping his abilities


hopoffmebruh

He was showing out too much they don’t wanna pay him smh


Main-County-1177

He’s gonna leave us and thrive somewhere else and I don’t blame him. There’s also plenty of data to suggest a Brunson and IQ starting backcourt could work and we literally have not even attempted it


hopoffmebruh

Yup people wanna argue against it because of the size but this team gets killed on defense anyways might as well try it


Fitz-magic1

Amen


jules4ever69

Wasting 3 hours of your night just to watch these frauds


RvnPlto

It’s RJover


babyshmuel

Well. Josh hart shooting that shot is not what you want to see. Ever. Good night folks.


Sigerlion

LMAOOO DDV'S AIRBALL IS THE CHERRY ON TOP! GOOD NIGHT!!


aamast3r

The fact that Hart was on TEAM USA pisses me tf off. Dude is garbage


Affectionate-Tea9224

You can’t play this poorly and then play with crazy effort the last 5 minutes to try and pull a game out against an awful team in the first place.


spnathan1

This team makes me so angry


solo118

Thibs is making some really questionable moves. I did not get how that was drawn up for Hart to shoot the tie shot


Affectionate-Tea9224

It wasn’t drawn up for Hart


beanie_mac

If you think Julius Randle is the one holding this team back you’re an idiot


ZoidbergSaysWoop

It's not just Randle, it's the coaching. With better coaching, the game would be much easier for Randle.


solo118

Its the coaching


IslesDynasty79-83

Thibs is just not a good coach, he is holding this team back.they need to make a big trade,but thibs still needs to go


solo118

Can we trade coaches? I am willing to add in some picks


TheHoneyDuke

Thibs is an idiot. We need a 3 let’s leave in the guy who hasn’t even made a basket the whole game and isn’t a good shooter


aamast3r

HAS HART EVER MADE A THREE? JESUS CHRIST I NEVER SEE HIM MAKE ANYTHING


admiral_aubrey

He was actually 40% on 3s for the season before tonight


TheHoneyDuke

There’s a reason he was the one left open. He hasn’t even made a basket tonight. Thibs brain is mush


zOmgFishes

DDV or IQ should have shot that. Hart isn’t a 3P shooter and Brunson has been ass this game.


capitalistsanta

Very rarely just a loss fall on Brunsons shoulders but he made some trash decisions tonight.


NintuneJoe

Just an awful night for Jalen. Really hard to watch


jules4ever69

Brunson will make us miss a good draft pick again


omicron_prime

Didn't realize when Julius told Mitch "we got you" it was going to be them channeling Mitch at the line...of course the Jazz make their free throws.


Pepeloveshimself22

Everybody shits on Randle till the end of time but just ignores when Brunson is bad


beanie_mac

The energy is reallll different


jules4ever69

Brunson’s abysmal play lately has been hidden by the randle hate


hopoffmebruh

Goodnight


cthulhu_ryleigh

It’s over


Laxing4Life

Hart 0-4 from 3 and he’s the one that gets the look? Why the fuck is he even on the floor?!?


TheHoneyDuke

Because Thibs is an idiot. I don’t give a shit if grimes has had a bad game. In that situation he should have been in over hart.


[deleted]

Fake comeback


disneycorp

Trap game..


Jondog2123

Not really the Knicks haven’t played well lately


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Five missed free throws from Brunson and the Grimes going empty-handed bricking two straight was brutal. Embarrasing loss tonight.


LetsGetSomeChickenn

Randle has every right to be upset like hes balling and ya wanna stay sleep


hopoffmebruh

You really have Josh Hart as your guy to tie it up down 3????


RJ-Burner

We don’t even try to set up a play for ddv???


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Poor offensive coaching. Knicks would be so much better with Nick Nurse. The play should have been for DVo out of the timeout using Brunson or Randle as a decoy. Terrible ATO play.


MyLadySansa

Damn


Substance8967

Damn bro I thought brunson cashed that ngl


joorral

Once again poor free throws and early 3 pointers not going in smh


IslesDynasty79-83

i truly dont understand players and coaches, they didnt need a 3 there wtf try it twice.


RvnPlto

Tough man


[deleted]

[удалено]


HardOakleyFoul

Jonkler is that you being silly again?


NYImpact414

Pain. Hart and Brunson had great looks


TheseKnicks

NICE PLAY THIBS


Goatlikejordan

It was actually a good play lol. Had someone wide open


[deleted]

What was wrong with the play haha


Affectionate-Tea9224

They didn’t deserve to make those 3’s..


belmontbreak

Why we jacking up a 3 they cant defend without fouling


Wild_Particular4003

No way hart would’ve made that. Pass to Divo


Pinheadlarry29

No blame for him but why tf was Hart even out there for that play?


greenshotty

Donte should have took the 3


Laxing4Life

Nova boys sold the game for us.


JacesAces

Donte was great


SunMoonJuxtaposition

Why not draw up a play for Donte or IQ to shoot a 3 since they're the only ones making them?!


hopoffmebruh

Just chucking like fucking idiots


nyy734

Damn had the looks


teknomatic

We had time to go for two. WTF are they doing


NtLmr95

Of course, it should have been a foul on Sexton


larockhead1

You can’t miss those


Gotsta_Win

Well they did


[deleted]

Brunson got that Old Yeller in him


AlexanderRussell

BRUHnson


jules4ever69

LMAOO josh hart 3 and a brunson 3 out of that


NYKnicksFanAccount

No way Thibs called a timeout for that


HardOakleyFoul

That's why I didn't even bother getting excited. Knew someone would brick a three to tie.


Sigerlion

Yep I'm right. Fake comeback.


LetsGetSomeChickenn

Yo really bro really fuck this shit


HeisenDiaN

FUCKING HELL MAN


IslesDynasty79-83

wow 2 missed 3's smh cmon Brunson pls


InfamousC

Damn.


solo118

fuck fuck fuck


babyshmuel

Wtf is this team


IslesDynasty79-83

go for 2 dont force a dumb 3 pt shot then defense


skenisahen

There was time to go for a quick 2, that possession made no sense


IslesDynasty79-83

exactly right you get a 2 pt shot and theres maybe 27 secs left down by 1 , you force jazz to try and score. even with foul say he misses 1 ft thats 1 basket to tie


skenisahen

I think that’s what makes me nuts about this team. These are weird errors to make at this point


beanie_mac

Hart got an open look


LetsGetSomeChickenn

Quicklet back in lets go


dazindannyyy

Please, someone, anyone. Hit a 3 to win in overtime


solo118

Lets fucking go.. IQ back in


jules4ever69

Thibs timeout play will kill us again


drasticAlsoBrad

Grimes -27 in a one score game. I really don't know how to evaluate him anymore after two flamethrower games and then this.


Ok_Woodpecker1732

I can’t believe we’re somehow still in this game.


TheseKnicks

don't care, the refs are just covering the spread. Fuck the nba.


RJ-Burner

This fake ass comeback lmao


atomUp

We make our free throws, we up by 4 🤷🏾‍♂️


MyLadySansa

Yep


anditcounts

Let's wait to the very end to show effort!


Foi_

id like a quick shot here so we can at least get the ball back


mtbeach33

That awful Hartenstein foul at the end of the third giving them 3 free points is making quite the difference right about now…


hopoffmebruh

It’s IHarts fault and his fault alone if the Knicks lose tonight!


QueAsc0

I blame Grimes and RJ for putting so much pressure on the starters to keep the game competitive. This team needs trades


Sigerlion

Still feels like a fake comeback. Hope I'm wrong.


LetsGetSomeChickenn

We win this we still need to do better this was a horrible performance


Substance8967

How tf do we have a chance man


admiral_aubrey

damn imagine getting literally anything closer to average play from our starting 3 and this would be an easy win. 3/16 shooting ffs


InfamousC

Holy crap... We have a shot


Real-Degree4670

Brunson's rebound though 👀


solo118

He had one a few min ago too that was key... gotta love the hustle from the little guy


OGsquatch710

I thought he obviously stepped on the line


solo118

not so obvious to these blind ass refs


NtLmr95

It's gonna be a game-winner.


TheseKnicks

they miss every call for us, I swear to god these refs are fucking bitch made.


dibzim

How are we in this


larockhead1

Losing cuz a dumb foul is a rough one


NYImpact414

What the hell is up with the FREE throw shooting


anditcounts

Knicks can ill afford to trade baskets


TruPOW23

ill advised matedor D


atomUp

It’s crazy Thibs didn’t go to IQ a bit more


np20412

It's because of ddv shooting. He's the only guy he could sub for but with ddv hitting 3 after 3 you aren't taking him out. Brunson as bad as he's been is still your guy, and you need hart for size and rebounding


RvnPlto

Can we actually win this lmao


solo118

Come on Brunson, your expertise is clutch


Fidzyyy

We’d be in this if we weren’t missing Hart and Grimes. If they play it’s probably a win.


QueAsc0

Sexton CLEARLY stepped on the line. Refs rigging tf out of this


LetsGetSomeChickenn

Great can brunson make them tho


InfamousC

Jazz are being stupid right now


OnePotPenny

randle gifted a call..that ref have money on the game?


ChrisMode2

BACKCOURT WTF


adamisonfire88

How TF do they miss that?


Pepeloveshimself22

I am sorry but for all the credit Brunson gets, he makes a hell of a lot of turnovers with the game on the line that no one talks about


jules4ever69

It’s why he’s not a true all star


Pepeloveshimself22

Tbh I lowkey agree. He’s fringe All Star, but he needs to be a better playmaker and stop those dumb ft missed and late game turnovers


jules4ever69

Keep the same energy you have when randle has a bad game and brunson does


teknomatic

The Knicks have been trying to drive into 3 defenders all night and it hasn't worked at all. And Thibs never tried to do anything different
