Game-Thread Knicks vs Rockets .. MitchRob is starting tonight !!!

[Kiyaman]

I really dont like having RJ and Randle-Handle on the court in the 4th quarter !!!

[tiger0330]

Rox shouldn't be this close getting out shot and killed on the boards but here we are 121-119 with 1:27 left

[htr10]

His execution has been questionable at times, but RJ isn’t scared of the big moment. Not in the least.

[tiger0330]

RJ with a driving layup against the Rox best defensive player PJ gives the Knicks a 3 pt lead with 7.6 secs left. Go Knicks.

[mafra]

Randle goes 1-2 from FT twice in final minute. Loser!

[htr10]

Wow, Knicks hold on to win. RJ’s last shot turns out to be a game winner.

[mafra]

Frank strips Russell. Clean steal. Of course they give RW 2 FTs. But in the final possession.... RW can’t beat Frankie! Knicks win.

We had lost 9 straight at MsG vs HOU.

RJ went ISO and got game sealing bucket. He did airballs a 3 and had a few ugly turnovers before that. But a good game regardless.

Knicks 1-0 under Rose!

NY had 7 guys in double figures.

Kid is growing up before our eyes leading the team to a win against an elite WC team!!! I’m sure the haters will have their say but I’m happy for the kid. I think we have leader and a winner!

[tiger0330]

Good D by Nits on Russ last attempt to tie it on his short jumper. Miller had him playing in crunch time and he paid dividends, wad very aggressive on offense taking 10 shots and making 5, was only 1-6 on his 3s though.

How pumped would we all be with a core of MRob, KP, RJ, Knox and Knits, and all these draft picks!

Oh well.

Still, the truth is.... we may finally have a foundation in place. Now let experience marinate this roster... draft well, shrewd trades and a smart signing and we can be in for some
Ride come 2022.

The win was nice but would’ve been sweeter if our best player, D-Dot, played some. I think HOU was shocked he didn’t play, bc they obviously gear their entire defensive plan to stop Dotty.

[tiger0330]

Wayne was big giving us that distance shooting we usually don't have. Team win.

[Kiyaman]

RJ Barrett's consistent low scoring in the 2nd half of every game this season is a ISO-BUM u dont have on the court in the 4th qtr !!!
Clumsy Randle-Handle low b.ball IQ does not belong on the court in the 4th qtr !!!

Great Knicks WIN Tonight over the rough-tough Houston Rockets .. GO Knicks !!!

[tiger0330]

Missed 11 freebies. Miller needs to fix this, pros should not be consistently missing there freebies like they are.

[Dark Raider]

If you PG is calling for the ball and comes over to you. You give him the ball and look for what play he calling.

The above is about the RJ last basket. He decided to ISO and push off going to the basket but the ref. didn't call it. Wanting to be the Hero with the new boss in the stand. Well the new boss want owe you anything and better hope he isn't like Mills/Perry. If he knows BB then you and all those other odd pieces are in trouble. Always need the ball to be effective if not he disappears.

Just wondering why RJ was on Westbrook? That is his man but Frank was on him. Frank man is Harden!!

[mafra]

HOU shot poorly (Harden started 0-8 from downtown and missed 2 layups down the stretch)....

But NYK dominated the glass. Small ball won’t work in playoffs. Not this year with LAK and LAC in their way.
