Ultimateknicks.com Forums: [Game Thread 2/2/23] Knicks vs Heat 7:30PM

Did you watch? 2 braindead turnovers at the end of the game nearly cost them. I agree he was great on O, but down the stretch he decided to take the mantle of Knicks player to lose their brain

Ummm NO!

A win is a win.
Or do you think Heat fans are happier because Bam and Herro had big games. And they hit some big threes but still lost.

We also did not have our PG!

Good win despite the follies.

Barrett was awesome offensively tonight, but the bonehead turnovers down the stretch are unacceptable. He also needs to better when he faces the double. Dont pick up your dribble and get trapped.

+1. Today it was Barrett but this team makes the dumbest plays when the pressure gets high.

Have no idea why they use that inbound play. It scattered everyone AWAY from the ball and encouraged a long inbound pass. Just get your big to seal a few feet away. Smh.

Who’s they?……….And…….Since when did coaching become a committee job? I believe you meant to say Thibs. 🤔 💭 🧐

Weird.

I thought Julius All-Star Randle put up 23 Points, 10 Rebounds (another Double-Double) alongside of another 6 Assists and 3 Steals.

And speaking of "FREE THROWS" what are you even, talking about?

Julius Randle went 4/5 from the Free Throw line tonight and shooting .749% this year (3rd highest of his career out of his 9 years).

Not sure what you were thinking when making that post?

This was a great pass.

It was nice to see Grimes hit a big 3, and for Deuce to hit some important ones too.

iHart played big. Evan gave some quality minute after a rough start and there was an Obi sighting as well

(5)(7)

Stinks not having Jalen Brunson.
But I have a weird feeling R.J. Barrett will attack and drop 40+ Points tonight.
Because he dropped 46 on them last year?
Part of them on Jimmy too!
I hope your right.
You have a memory of an 🐘 because I completely forgot about him going off for 40+ against Miami last year.
I just love the kids MENTALITY and feel he's going to play pissed off after being benched 4th Q against Lakers last game.
I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again but I just have a feeling without Brunson, R.J. Barrett will become forced to take over.
I was wrong on my gut feeling of R.J. dropping 40+ but man oh man was he the MVP of tonight's win.
Barrett:
30 Points (team high).
8 Rebounds.
4 Assists.
FG = .565%.
He struggled from 3 going 0/5 but man oh man was he UNSTOPPABLE going 13/18 (.722%) from inside the 3 and was an absolute Freight-Train/ Bulldozer while driving into the lane and attacking the rim!!!!

I sleep easier at night knowing you, Sperm Edwards and Slats know everything

RJ proving al us naysayers wrong with the scoring and efficiency. Whoever brings up his 3 point shooting is just a hater.

Huge win! These are the guys we need to beat to avoid the play in!

Remember same rhetoric during Starks, Ewing, Mason years.

The fact that he misses FTs in the 4th quarter fairly commonly?

Drops to 67pct shooter in the 4th from the line

I don't know what he did but he is finishing a lot better the last month or so more-or-less. I can't remember exactly but he started taking little bunny jumpers instead of layups and he has evolved it into finishing.

Knicks didn’t have 2 starters and beat a team ahead of them in the conference. Very good win.

Yeah. But this is different. It's not just the decisions either. Like stupid **** just happens to this team. Julius slipping on an inbounds with 2.9 left....really?

Exactly.

Even without our Starting PG (Jalen Brunson) and our Starting Center (Mitchell Robinson) both of R.J. Barrett and Julius Randle led us to victory.

Yeah. Yeah.

All anyone will talk about (and harp all over) are the 12 Turnovers by Randle/Barrett (combined).

While they'll completely ignore both of R.J. Barrett and Julius Randle combining for 53 Points, 18 Rebounds, 10 Assists and 3 Steals (combined) off of 21/42 from the field (.500%) and even more impressive 19/28 from inside the 3 (.678%).

It's, weird.

Yup. I watched.

And cool.

You can harp all over those 2 "Braindead" Turnovers (@ only 22 years of age) while without his starting PG...

While I'll focus on his MVP performance of 30 Points/8 Rebounds/4 Assists and 13/18 from inside of 3 (.722%).

🏀🤝🏀

We get SMOKED with an L without R.J. Barrett tonight and would've lost by 20+ points too.

Yep. Definitely didn’t seem like a victory to the Heat.
