If the Knicks only had five players available including Obi would Thibodeau forfeit the game?
The Knicks outscoring Minny in the 3rd qtr. 40-25 was mostly done by the lineup of Grimes Burks Gibson Fournier and Randle (2 starters).
Playing Barrett the entire 4th quarter are why the Knicks LOSS!
Adding Barrett in the 2nd unit lineup are why the Knicks LOSS the game!
The Minny Wolves Locked Barrett up tonight, plus in the 4th qtr. Barrett had the chance to throw the ball to a wide open Fournier twice and never did.
Tonight, Barrett was suppose to receive 18 to 22 minute of playing time so the Knicks could win the game.
Barrett had much more than 7 turnovers in the game, they did not add any of Barrett's turnovers in the 2nd qtr. on his stats.
Trade RJ Barrett before the Feb deadline !!!
Same logic that had Knicks fans calling for Randle to be traded 2 weeks ago. I can?t even with all this overly reductive analysis that blames losses on 1 player night after night. It?s crazy.
MRob fouled out. Taj fouled out.
Knicks were badly outscored when Thibs tried to use Quickley and Toppin.
Grimes was a -7 plus/minus for the game so not sure what dominant ball anyone saw him play tonight.
Burks didn?t make a shot the entire game.
Who do fans want out there, Jericho Sims?

RJ was atrocious and the team had a shot to win it but Evan/Kemba disappeared and they blew a win they nearly swiped? 8-5 now for WC.
It was a tough matchup. MIN a young team, rested, who plays with pace. This was second game of back to back? Knicks beat them in MIN
They competed. It was 50/50 down to the very end. They nearly won the game and played like crap.
They had a brilliant third quarter.. then crumbled down the stretch. Only reason it was even that close is bc they missed a layup, FT, had lane violation, turnover.

htr10 the voice of reason. Kiya and Dark, unreasonable expectations for our 21 year old expecting him to be KD every night. Didn?t see the game though but it looked to be an exciting hard fought one by our boys coming back from a half time deficit to make it a close one. I maybe the only one with this opinion but if Morey would do it, I wouldn?t trade RJ for Ben Simmons after he said he?s OK with sitting out the whole season if the Sixers can?t trade him, if I was Morey I?d stick to my guns and if he couldn?t find a trade partner next season for him he could sit next season as well. That would give Simmons and his shrink plenty of time for him to get mentally well.

Kiya and myself only what is good for the Knicks team. You and other praise RJ from the moment he step on the floor like he was KD. We have Great Expectations for the #3 but short change with his play. Please stop using that sad excuse that he is just 21. Remember this hype ?he is NBA ready?, ?he?s got a NBA body?.
Just tell Kiya and myself ?When are we going to win a championship with RJ?? That will solve everything.

Is Dennis a long term solution??
BTW, wouldn?t it had nice to have Cousins last night. KAT foul out a young no jump shooting center and a old man center.

No. we didn?t. None of us have said RJ is KD and none of us have universally praised him since the moment he stepped on the court. Were you even on KOL when he was a rookie?
Is there even one positive comment about RJ from one of us in this game thread?
You?re projecting Facebook or something onto what the posters here say. You?re obsessed with RJ. I challenge you to find one time anyone on here said we?re going to win a championship with RJ.
Cousins is done.
