Thanks for the Game-Thread Rady .. Looking at the Knicks schedule we play the Detroit Pistons 3 times in the next 20 games. The Pistons rookie Ivey & 2nd season Cunningham beat the Orlando Magic 113-109 in their first game of the season. I wonder why Detroit don't have Kemba & Burks veteran experience on their roster to guide their young-core players for a season.

Clyde's suit is an A+ tonight.

I hate when Randle tell the coach to leave him in the game after picking up his 2nd foul in the first qtr. having 4 min left in the qtr. vs a Lottery team .. Stat-Player Randle !!!

Cam vs Knox tonight ???

 

[Kiyaman]

The Knicks 2nd unit knows how to blowout a lottery team .. End of first Qtr.
Knicks 30 - Pistons 20

Six minutes of D.Rose Leadership got the Knicks a head 47-25

Knicks starter lineup effortless defense depending on MitchRpb defense only are why they couldn't outscore a lottery (Pistons) team in the final 6 min before Half-Time ....
Knicks 72 - 52 Lottery Pistons

Cam 2 pts & 1 rbd
Knox 0 pts & 2 rbd

We came to play tonight. Also, Pistons don?t look very good.

I feel bad for national media scribes, who earnestly wanted to put DET ahead of NYK?. This is a beat down! Good sign, to own your home court and pound lesser talent.

Finish strong! Well balanced attack

Reddish only makes 2 types of plays. Jaw droppingly good and jaw droppingly bad.

Like DRose and IQ playing together. Let?s IQ setup shop to shoot an open 3 now and again.

The Knicks starter lineup got to come together .. The Starter lineup losing the 20 pt lead to 10 pts, then D.Rose bench lineup comes in and grab a 22 pt lead to end the 3rd quarter

 

[Kiyaman]

Thibs call TIME-OUT the D.Rose bench lineup been on the court for 9 minutes !!!!

 

[htr10]

Announcers just pointed out that Jalen Brunson has 15 assists and zero turnovers in his first 2 games as a Knick.

I can?t tell if you are kidding or not.

Half joking but did read on Twitter they were doing something, but thought it was a joke too?

The bench trio of IQ-OBI & D-Rose showed up tonight. These 3 so important bc we don?t have a top 50 stud, so we need to dominant the second unit most nights and bombard opponents with depth.
