Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Game Thread .. I hope we still have the energy we had in Friday nights win over the Orlando Magics game to make todays game a easy Knicks win.

Philly is without there two star players Embiid & Maxey.
We only have to shut down Harris & Oubre scoring game.

I can't wait till all our Knicks are healthy to watch our Bench lineup WIN games in a series ..
McBride, Hart, Bog, Precious, and Hartenstein ,, WINNERS !!!

 

[Kiyaman]

Nice first quarter .. Harris thought he had a easy 1 on 1 layup against Precious, didn't happen.
Philly got Oubre defending Brunson on every Knicks offense possession
End of First Quarter ... Knicks 15 - Philly 15
I like the Knicks confidence in player to player now

Knicks 6-23 from field (3-13 from downtown) with 11 turnovers. Must have been a rough Sat. Night.

 

[Kiyaman]

Burks hitting that 3 ball shot does not make up for his first 5 min on the court

 

[mafra]

Achiwa gifts PHI with 5 points on 2 idiotic plays. (1) Grabs offensive rebound in corner, jumps and leaves his feet and throws ball to midcourt… where PHI intercepts and goes in for a dunk. (2) lightly taps elbow when a 30% 3 shooter is hoisting a prayer. Foul.

Knicks now 5-20 from downtown. Excited basketball.

We could use some coaches plays to call on a broken-play and 2nd chance shot.
Philly playing Lowry man on man defense and we force to shoot 3's
Burks & Bogs are helping Oubre have a 20 something game

 

[mafra]

37-31 PHI at half. Arguably the worst half of basketball I’ve ever witnessed. What a waste of my time. Thankfully I’m reading so not paying much attention.

12-40 from field
5-22 from downtown
14 turnovers

Knicks trail PHi, at MSG and 76ers without Embiid $m& Maxey

 

[Kiyaman]

Half Time .. Knicks 31 - Philly 37
Our 2nd half performance have to be 10 times better than the first half.
Philly is stopping our scoring bc were not slashing inside or bully-ball
We took 2-3 FT !!!!

 

[Kiyaman]

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 56 - Philly 63

The 76ers Defense tighten up in 2nd half and is embarrassing the Knicks no-strategy offense

 

[Kiyaman]

Oubre hit Divo in the back of the head .. It's on !!!
The short handed Philly rotation got us angry or maybe its the scoring only 30 points in 2 quarters
63-70 ,, 4 min remain in game

Anybody tired of those Nova Knicks??

Fewest points any team in NBA scored all season is now owned by Knicks. 73!

9-40 from downtown with 21 turnovers. Ugly. On a night Cavs, Heat and Magic lose… with a chance to beat short-handed PHI… Knicks blow it.

As bad as the shooting was, the effort wasn’t there and that’s a shame. PHI worked harder and that should never happen.

37-27 means there are 18 games left. It’s about now when you need to get healthy to prepare for post season… if Randle and OG and Robinson don’t return in next 2 weeks, there won’t be enough time to wipe off the rust before playoff action begins.

Starting to look like a big mistake trading the youth for vet depth. RJ, IQ, Grimes vs OG, Achiwa, AB, BB…

Looks like those 2 trades are sending Knicks to the play-in. Only 2.5 games from 8th seed.

Tonight was a brutal loss. But nothing matters if Randle and OG aren’t coming back soon.

It really is insane that the reviewed the tape and everybody BUT Oubre got a technical. He fouled DDV, stood over him and prevented him from standing (taunting posture) and then knees DDV in the head. How and why? Somebody needs to explain.

 

[Kiyaman]

We shot 80 FG attempts, and 40 were from the 3-ball line .. Stats you will never find from any NBA team back in the 1970-80-90's during the McAdoo/Jabbar/Dandridge era, nor Magic/Bird era, nor the MJ/Barkley era

Anybody tired of those Nova Knicks??

No! We fans learned the Nova-Trio need a top offensive scorer (Randle) in the rotation to win consistently.
I'm hoping the Nova Trio get us a better offensive HC next season.

The Nova Knicks can only take us so far. They are ‘ALRIGHT’ but do have enough to help make us a championship team. My answer is NO!! I hope I’m wrong for our sake.

We have too many Nova players on this team. I think two should go.
