Game Thread 4/6 7:30 Knicks vs Brooklyn in MSG ESPN

Three Knicks games left in the regular season, and the high scoring (Durant/Kyrie) Brooklyn Nets are one of them.

I hope the Knicks young six future KEEPERS are in the Game-Rotation ..
McBride, Grimes, Sims, Toppin, Quickley, and MitchRob ..
How will the Knicks (assistant) coach Thibs coach this game ???
Any ideas ???

Thibbs better play the kids! Nets will win? I predicted 2-2 last 4 games.

I don?t care about the TANK tho? so I?ll be rooting for the upset!

Kyrie and Tatum put an end to the nonsense Duke players can?t play in NBA?

Tonight, the young head coach Nash vs the 10+ yr experience coach Thibs ???

Duke head coach K are retiring .. throughout his career at Duke each year he was given one of the top 10 players in the country, and a lot of Dukes star players couldn't pan out when they came to the NBA. Like their star center who was put on the NBA original Dream Team, instead of Shaq. And Grant Hill who were mentored his first 4 years in the NBA by Detroit Pistons star player Joe Dumars on and off the court.
Tatum .. Yes!
Kyrie .. so far been a scoring head-case in Cleveland, Boston, and Brooklyn.

I finally got the Knicks Starters tonight .... .
Alec Burks
Evan Fournier
RJ Barrett
Obi Toppin
Jericho Sims

Mitchell Robinson has a non-COVID illness and is OUT for tonight?s game against the Nets .... Quentin Grimes is out tonight and Miles McBride is a game time decision, Tom Thibodeau says.

9-8 early? let?s go!

Sims raw skills are letting the Nets know he will be dominating the paint in the future ..
Go Sims !!!

29-25 Knicks after 1

Toppin going for another 20 pt game .. The Quickley & Toppin tandem are the Knicks win-win future

Knicks on a 16 - 0 run in the 2nd quarter. Lead by 10.

With the right PG play, Toppin is one heck of a weapon in the low post.

19-0 NYK run

38-25

I agree

Knicks already 7-18 from downtown

After McBride 3

44-31

Thats it keep feeding McBride to hit that 3-ball .. great team ball from the YOOTS !!!
44-31 Knicks lead !!!

63-46 Knicks lead .. I still dont like the trio of Barrett Burks and Fournier in the same lineup.

RJ with 16-6-6 in the first half.

Knicks up 17 (67-50) at the half!

Half-Time .. Knicks Yoots 67 - Nets 50

The Brooklyn Nets need Ben Simmons in the 2nd Half LOL

Quickley's 2-Way performance doesn't have to score a point to have an outscoring lineup .. 17 pt lead !!!

If we had our 35 to 40 min a game Randle on the court the first half we wouldnt have a lead at half time

Double double for Sims who got the start with MRob out sick.

Sims Sims BIG Sims .. he cant shoot FT but his dominance in the paint say he's a future double-double Big-Man.
Knicks Sims & Toppin had several chances to blowup the 3rd quarter taking a 25 to 30 pt lead .. BUTT the trio Barrett Burks Fournier and consecutive turn overs got them holding the 17 pt lead
