Wsup Rady .... After the last games disgrace, the Knicks don?t deserve a game thread !!!
Plus the last time the Knicks played (17-39) OKC they out-scored the Knicks in practically all 4 quarters for a 95-80 win over the Knicks. That game .. RJ Barrett's 40 min game performance showed us he's not a first, second, or 3rd option on offense.

 

[htr10]

MRob makes the steal at the 3 point line and goes the entire way by himself for the dunk.

Let?s extend this guy already.

Knicks lead 29 to 21.

 

[htr10]

Randle with 5 assists in the 1st quarter.

Reddish checks in for Grimes late in the 1st quarter. He is firmly part of the rotation with RJ out, getting minutes before Toppin and Quickley.

 

[htr10]

Ridiculous alley oop from Quickley to Toppin who hangs in the air forever and throws it down with 1 hand.

 

[mafra]

Jose Giddy is destroying Kemba? 23 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds. Hey, Thibbs? maybe playing Walker 30 minutes is a BAD idea?

89-87 OKC and they are without SGA and Dort. Almost end of third. This NYK team is pathetic.

Bench is shooting 3-12 with 0 steals.

 

[mafra]

7 offensive rebounds leads to 12 points? for OKC? already 2 threes in 4th off OFF rebounds?

 

[mafra]

Game at MSG and yet OKC bench out scoring NYK bench 34-17

Trying to turn IQ into a PG has ruined his scoring ability.

 

[htr10]

Triple double for Randle. Knicks hanging onto a small lead late.

 

[mafra]

Thibbs challenges a call? a minute left? up 4? what to lose?

He lost challenge? NYK ball. Knicks hacked. No call. OKC goes down and gets 50/50 call next possession. Knicks can?t challenge tho.

 

[mafra]

Why is AB taking the last shot? 110-100. AB missed shot, in case you wondering.

OKC ball. 22 seconds left. Keep running offense late through AB and Evan and then wonder why the losses pile up?.

 

[mafra]

Knicks steal the inbounds! Grimes goes to house? 112-110. Woah?

 

[mafra]

OKC ties it. Randle misses shot? wouldn?t count anyway. Off to Ot. This team is awful. See y?all after season? no more for me.

 

[htr10]

Knicks don?t score for 4 minutes. Thunder tie it. Grimes with the steal gives us a 2 point lead. Thunder tie it in the closing seconds. Going to OT.

 

[Kiyaman]

Tank Tank Tank Tank Tank Tank !!!

 

[htr10]

This team once again didn?t show up for an OT. Another rough loss against a not very good team.

 

[mafra]

Giddy arguably has best rookie debut ever at MSG. First game ever at MSG with 2 triple doubles (Giddy and Randle)

 

[mafra]

BYK 25-33

24 games left?.

35 wins might be out of reach.

Here comes the lottery?. Will the lottery ping pong balls go our way?

BYK 25-33

35 wins might be out of reach.

Here comes the lottery?. Will the lottery ping pong balls go our way?

No. The lottery hates us. We?ll pick 11th.

I?m going to run head first into a wall to knock myself out so I don?t have to watch another lottery results where we get the worst possible pick we could have gotten.

 

[Kiyaman]

Puppet head coach Thibs has to be replaced next season .. The Knicks are on another 2-8 run in last 10 games. Tank Tank Tank !!!

It's almost, predictable at this point ....
We just allowed OKC without their two top scorers to drop 127 points on us.
So what was the point of this game? We lost to another bottom feeder.
Cam gets 7min
Obi gets 8min
McBride gets 0min
Sims gets 0min
Quick get 14min playing out of position
And Grimes was not prepared to play 40 min Jacking-up shots, and rarely passing the ball (7-18 FG shots for 19 pts, and zero assist in 40 min). Bad coaching advice, and bad influence from teammates in a lineup.
