Knicks romped these guys last time, but they have enough guard talent to give them issues if the we take them too lightly

For me, Herb is a special player, but I think you right on the trade possibilities.

But that was also so for OG and Mikal too, so who knows right? For whatever reason, I do think the next move is the hardest hurdle. There is one more coming between now and next summer IMHO


I think the difference between Jones and OG/Bridges is the assets. Look at this the other way around. Would you trade Jones for a package centered around Mitch and some pick swaps. Bad example considering how good those NOP picks are going to be. But you get the point.

Sims had a really good impact especially in the 4th on D and rebounding

I was going to comment the same, kudos to Sims in his minutes.

Toronto & SA are next @ MSG, they are combined 5-18 on the road. Magic might have lost MO, then Wash Wash Utah. Keep eating Knicks.

Christmas day - national game - highlight game for the NBA's new star Wembanyama. Deck will he stacked against us by the league. Focus on winning the Toronto game - no let downs. Barnes is back.

I hope you all realize how lucky we are to have Brunson. We waited 20 years for him and he's just amazing! Down 14 and playing like **** and he puts the team on his back and took over! 25 points in the second half and hitting crazy long deep threes! Herb Jones is an elite defender and Brunson took him to school! Much needed when KAT didn't have it with foul trouble and nobody else really had it going.

Good to see Hart back in the lineup!

Trey Murphy is underrated.

We keep having issues starting the game and I’m gonna say it: the starting lineup looks more balanced with Precious out there. Thibs is too stubborn so maybe in a few years unless we get a real PF. I love Hart, but he can still be a weapon off the bench. It’s just not great with OG at the 4 to me because he isn’t really a PF.

Ok win, I guess, thanks to Brun!

1. remember when people thought JB was not a good 3pt shooter?
2. when Brunson was out of the game, the team was trash. Why is Mikal not able to step up in those moments and be the creator? Wasn't he the play maker in BK? Payne and Deuce were just playing hot potato with the ball, no one making plays.
3. Thank you, JB, for saving this game

One of his better games as a Knick.
Especially when OG had another notch of inconsistency on offense and Towns was absent.
This game is an L if not for his incredible second half.
Simms showed what MR will add when back.
Hart an easy 41 minutes after having to take a day off.
Bridges solid d game.

Keep it rollin. Getting hot. Feel we can repeat last January

Watched the game then looked at the box score and saw that Mikal Bridges played 45 minutes and didn’t have a single rebound. Seems odd to me to be on the court that long and not get a rebound.

Anytime I watch the New Orleans nba team I am reminded of the seen in Scarface when he’s watching tv and says “hey pelican!”

He does not say that exact quote.
Is that really a pelican that is taking off on that clip? Pelican do forage in shallow water but they swim as they do. It appears Tony Montana is looking at a clip of Pink Flamingos.

He looks like an NFL defensive end dribbling the ball sometimes and the falling is just crazy --- on the defensive end however he is so balanced and physical (so good).
