Well, tonight 2nd half Knicks performance said a lot about my Knicks team.
OG & Mitch have the same attitude after two games. Mitch did everything he had to do to show fans he's still injured.
Mitch has been my favorite Knicks player the past 6 seasons, but the performance Mitch put on tonight .. Mitch did not want to help HC Thibs and Brunson's 61 point performance get the win.
And if Randle have the same attitude as OG and Mitch have bout HC Thibs Nove Trio Knicks ....
The Knicks are a strong NBA contender ONLY if Mitch/Randle/OG get on the same-page with the Nova Trio.
That's the only way HC Thibs will get his first chance to coach in a Conference Finals.

61 for Brunson…. Would’ve been great if that was the result of hitting game winner at end of regulation, but he passed ball to McBride who tossed up a brick.
In the 43 minutes Brunson played tonight, NY has outscored the Spurs by 20 points
In the 9 minutes Brunson sat tonight, NY was outscored by 24 points

Knicks took 110 shots to the Spurs' 82.
Spurs took 32 free throws to the Knicks' 12.
Insane happenings in Texas tonight
Wemby treated like LeVron tonight with the whistle.

“A foul is a foul. That’s what I do know,” said Thibodeau, who noted the 32-12 free-throw discrepancy in favor of the Spurs. “And what I’m hearing [from the referees], I don’t really like. I don’t know what else you could do, what else you can say. It’s clear as day. It really is that simple.”
What explanation are the officials providing about why Brunson isn’t getting calls?
“Not a very good one,” Thibodeau said. “I’ll leave it at that.”
Despite taking just six foul shots, Brunson finished with 61 points and could’ve surpassed Carmelo Anthony’s single-season Knicks record with the game winner.
Instead, his 3-point attempt bounced off the rim with 5.4 seconds left in OT.
Brunson still surpassed Bernard King’s 60 points and now sits second on the all-time, single-game Knicks scoring list.
He also tied Patrick Ewing’s 1995 franchise record for points in a second half with 38. Brunson’s 46 field goal attempts were the most of any NBA player since Kobe Bryant’s final game in 2016.
Also, congrats to DDV for setting NYK single-season record for 3 point FG made
