Emergency Game Thread Knicks at Clippers

I know it's Late Night ....

Lets forget we are on a 7 game losing streak .. Noel is out with sore foot, Taj is feeling sick, and Obi Toppin's Protocols .. Our frontcourt rotation tonight is MitchRob, Sims, & Randle for 48 min
Our backcourt of Burks, Fournier, and RJ Barrett has us on a 3-17 record performance in last 20 games.

Now let's forget the above .. And work on a way to figure out a MUST WIN Knicks game tonight !!!

10PM on Sunday night for a Knicks team that feels like they haven?t won a game since 2021? I think I may just go to bed early for once.

The Knicks 1st quarter performance look like they wanna stop the Clippers 5 game win streak tonight, the team must be upset over Suns buzzers beater

Naw .. don't do that. Watch how Clippers coach Lou got his star-less team to step-up to go on a 5 game win streak.

AB and Iq with 17 of their 25 points?. MRob and Sims go 0-5 from FT?

25-22 NYK after 1

Randle 0-7 in 1st quarter!
Deuce-McBride sighting in the 2nd quarter ..
Sims with the dunk
RJ Barrett slashing
Reddish FT good
MitchRob putback ..
The Knicks with 15 pt lead 37-22 .. 9 min remain in 2nd qtr,

IQ misses a 3? MRob snags off rebound and looks to corner, then back to Iq, then tossed it to RJ? Barrett drives and misses? MRob put back stuff!

That?s taking it next level.

Did Mark Jackson say the Knicks are the worst FT shooting team in the NBA ???
No respect !!!

RJ ice cold? missing good looks. But the wise onlooker is watching him beat everybody and he?s going to his right?. If he gets that down? watch out

Baby steps? he?s developing? give him time. Only 21!

39-22 Knicks.. 7 left in 2nd? LAC ice cold?. But Knicks have missed several wide open 3s now?. Lead should be much higher.

RJ goes right?. 41-22. RJ now 3-7 tonight?. 4-4 from FT line

Knicks had a 41-22 lead with Barrett & MitchRob on the court with the bench players.

Randle is 0-7 but finally gets in the board with 2 FTs?. Then he misses a 3?. 43-30?. Finish half will be key.

RJ gotta kick that out! Instead it leads to a 3 on the real going the other way? momentum? 2 minutes left? Knicks by 11

Knicks balling up by 19 heading into the half let?s hope they don?t find a way to blow this one

RJ with 16 points already in the 2nd? He and Randle closing the half?

59-40.

21 FTs to 5 (advantage NY)

1 turnover all half for Knicks

Quality half for NYK? up 19 thanks to #9 (RJ all day)

I?ll take RJ?s 19 at the half the only real bright spot on this team is RJ?s maturation hopefully we don?t screw him up playing for this loser.

I would've gave Deuce & Sims 10 min, instead of 6 min .. our rotation of players are short tonight.
Randle got his first bucket 1-9, his passing is great
RJ Barrett 3-ball dropping and slashing got 18 pts ..
Randle's Bully-ball got the Knicks a 19 pt lead at the Half

Half-Time .. Knicks 59 - Clippers 40

By the way how about the defense from the youth lineup ???
Did the Clippers even score on them LMAO

McBride was +16 in his 6 minutes; Cam +10.

Knicks missed 9 FTs.

RJ 18-8-4

MRob. Monster tonight. 8!off rebounds. But 0-6 FT

74-48
