Merry Christmas KO & Rady, thanks for the Game-Thread of the ex-Knicks players vs the Knicks.
Playing against Fournier? Or final contract Reddish? Or D,Rose leadership & scoring?

I hope the Knicks coach & players recall the previous game early this month against the Mavs at MSG.
The Mavs embarrassed us real real bad in the final 3 quarters of the Dec. 3rd game beating us 121-100 .... Pay Back Time

I wanna see a D.Rose & McBride sighting tonight in the rotation ..
Our new star PG need rest from the holidays

UhOh .. Wood just scored 3 consecutive times and our 9 pt lead went to one pt
Sims and Hart got to get it together the two could be dominating at times

Half-Time .. Knicks 63 - Mavs 55

Knicks looking good in first half .. Quickley given out 11 Dimes, Randle's 16 pts, 10 rbs, and 4-8 from 3's. Grimes 15 pts, and 6th-Man McBride outstanding performance that doesn't show up in stats ....
We keep up this performance in the 2nd half we got a win.
Coach Kidd will have a different strategy in the 2nd half however, Kidd & Docic did not expect the Knicks trio backcourt of McBride/Quickley/Grimes dynamics together.

No Brunson. No RJ. 92-82 NYK. IQ running the point but just 4-13 shooting. QG and Randle doing work.

End of 3rd quarter Knicks 92 - Mavs 82
Knicks fighting hard to hold on to their 10 pt lead in 3rd qtr.
So far this has been the best substitution i liked from Thibs all season.

Quentin Grimes was SPECIAL tonight, shouts to IQ and Randle but Grimes was our MVP

To think Thibs was making every excuse not to play him…smh

Lol. Up 9 with 30 seconds and they lose. Lol. QG with a turnover, IQ stupid foul, McBride miss FT, they allow Doncic to rebound his missed FT and score. That was a special collapse… happens once a decade for most teams… a few times a season for Knicks.

This is the loss that breaks this season. Good stuff moving forward, but what does that mean anyway? Stuck in NBA 37 win purgatory unless NBA rigs a draft to gift Knicks a legit star.

Another opponents star posts a 50 burger on them. Of course they folded in OT. 60-21-10 for Luka.

Doncic with 60 points on just 31 shots. He was just 2-6 from downtown. IQ was 0-7 from 3!Before he finally sank one.

Many questionable calls tonight

46 minutes for McBride
51 minutes for Quick
45 minutes for Randle
48 minutes for Grimes

Thibs played a 8 man rotation in a OT game ....
That is insane! I know we are short handed, but that’s ridiculous

15-24 from FT happened. McBride missing a FT with 10 seconds a killer.

When the average NBA player plays above 32 minutes their FT shooting becomes 50-50 (the Knicks roster prove that a fact in so many games).
The Big Problem with that is the same players shooting 50-50 from FT are also the player hoisting up 3 ball shots after playing 35 minutes of playing time .. A loss is a loss .. Coach Kidd out smarted/and out coached Thibs for the win tonight.

As I said, can’t trust this team AT ALL. Again we’re playing better but we kind of freestyle too much and any team patient enough to execute can get whatever they want on us

Mavs missed a ton of wide open 3s tonight

Can’t fault McBride too much he made like 5-6 free throws all in the clutch although the miss hurt. Had he made it we know the Mavs somehow, some way would’ve got a 3 out of it

We had too many possessions in the 4th qrt that were dead, couldn’t get Randle the ball on several of them and when we did not early enough

Luka was “other worldly”…wish we would’ve lost more the yr he was available but we won 5 too many games
