Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. Today is a must win Game in MSG for the Knicks tonight, because we have a 10 game stretch on our schedule that's Ruff-Ruff -Ruff

High scorer Beal is back for the Wizards tonight .. we can't have a close scoring game going down the stretch

I didn’t watch a second…. Can’t take a team seriously that’s below .500 at home.
Knicks 18-27 from FT line. We need a NYK patented 5-16 run to remove any notion that we should trade to make a run this season.

KP walking off happy having a double-double 5 Dimes 2 Block win

Hopefully, this will be Tom Thibs final season as a Knicks

We played individual-selfish B.Ball on offense tonight, having 14 Dimes from 96 FGA
No team plan, no coach plan, no ball movement, no team-chemistry from the 4 most minute played players on the team. Awful Loss at MSG !!!
Randle and Brunson hit the WALL in our last 2 losses !!!

It's time to look at the Knicks game schedule .. the Knicks next 9 games are Ruff-Ruff-Ruff
We are 0-2 tonight .. SAD
And the Knicks are looking to trade players (D.Rose, Fournier, Reddish, and ???) the same players that would've prevented the destruction bout ready to happen to the Knicks a week before the deadline.

Did not watch, only caught highlights of Kuz on ESPN doing us dirty. Man this team does not adjust to what their opponent is doing well and/or individual player. Again if teams stay patient they can get whatever they want on us

I've advocated trading for Kuz recently and I thought I read somewhere we have interest in him

Sounds like Mitch is having surgery?

Well, no MitchRob for 3 to 4 weeks will lead Tom Thibs type of coaching to a 25-30 record .. SAD
