Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Game Thread .. The Knicks facing the Bulls 2 games in a row maybe hard on coach Thibs. The Bulls 11-15 record show Lonzo Ball & Alex Caruso were the winning signing last year.

Probable Starting Lineups

(14-13) New York Knicks

PG – Jalen Brunson
SG – Quentin Grimes
SF – RJ Barrett
PF – Julius Randle

(11-15) Chicago Bulls
PG – Alex Caruso
SG – Zach LaVine
SF – DeMar DeRozan
PF – Patrick Williams
Center – Nikola Vucevic

Randle's 4-8 in the first quarter, if u count the shots Randle was fouled on means Randle took 12 FGA in the first quarter. Randle doing all the shooting in the quarter stop the Knicks from stretching the lead .. 29-28 Knicks

I'm just saying, no Randle on the court and the bench lineup stretch the 1 pt Knicks lead into a 11 pt Knicks lead in 3 minutes.

Half-Time .. Knicks 64 - Bulls 55

Brunson ankle look fine in first half no need to worry
The Knicks picked up on their offensive scoring throughout the first half handing out 14 team-Dimes and 4 steals, and 3 blocks.
We gonna need all this in the second half .. Willaims should've been given a tech for fallin on MitchRob

Tied game. 24 seconds left. Thibbs calls TO. Randle holds ball for 18 seconds then takes a fade away shot… shot clock violation.

Refs put on another clinic on how to fix a game in CHI. Knicks up 5 with 3 to go and suddenly refs take over. A truly impressive performance. Take 2 possessions away from NY. CHI gets FT every possession. They ignore contact on Randle. NBA is unwatchable.

Randle to Grimes… BANG! 125-119!
Grimes & Brunson saved their scoring and 3's for the end of the game for the OT WIN.
Randle was consistently getting double n triple teamed going down the stretch the final 5 minutes in regulation

Knicks are 15-13…. After 28 games, more than 1/3 of season, they’re off to their best start since 2012-2013 season. In other words, how sad is it that just being .500 after 28 games is their best start in a decade. Phil Jax!!! What did you do????

The Knicks have played a total of 58.7 clutch minutes this season.

Incredibly, Brunson has scored 58 points in those 58.7 mins, while shooting 47.4% from the floor, 42.9% from downtown and 90.5% from the free-throw line. He also has six assists vs. just one turnover

Brunson ranks fourth in the NBA in total points scored in the clutch in 2022-23 despite ranking outside the top 20 in clutch minutes played.

The only other player in the league with more than 55 points in the clutch and an FG% north of 45% is Luka Doncic.

We’ve been banging the drum for years. Your PG kind of matters! It’s no coincidence this is their best start since Jason Kidd was here.
