At least IQ got 19.

Can we trade Randle yet?

Julius should just not get the last shot. We should know that by now, if not us, the coach should.

That's exactly what I thought about when I saw that footage from the rafters on the ref screen


I wonder if that block by rui was our player with the block and if the refs woulda taken a look at the replay that long

Lebron cant retire soon enough. FOr all of his talents i never liked his ego-show, from calling himself the King, to taking his talents to Miami (via phone news interview) to throwing talcum in the air.

I think of all these former greats like Magic Barkley Shaq Bird and how i enjoyed them in their retirement but for Lebron

Sure to find a creative way to screw us.

I have more faith with brunson taking a very long 3 than randle trying to go up and play hero ball

Lakers made a great trade to get Hachimura. Three future first rounders for a lottery pick who helped tonight. I thought the Knicks could have gotten him
But lesson is we should trade for a player to with an economical trade pieces. We need to make a smart trade and not overpay. We need shooting. We need a back up 3 and 4. We don't need much and should have to over pay.

ANd sorry to say it but Obi has lost his balls again

Guy plays like a *****. I’ve never seen a guy turn his back on defense so much and for an offensively gifted player it’s all leak outs and 3s.

Disagree. They need a lot. Still hope they don't get desperate and start overpaying tho. Still hurts Our mid 3 can't even overtake Mr. Glass and the Geriatric Duo.

Would defend Obi, but I can't. I'm ready to trade him for Saddiq Bey or Duarte or whomever. Maybe Cam for Bey and Obi for Duarte.

Losing close games is coaching. We have given 10 games away this season already it’s alarming.

Offense doesn’t look structured and it’s based on the players on the floor. Seems like the players have too much control on these offensive audibles. And don’t know why ball movement stops in crunch time. This team is very confusing. But to me the weaknesses are very clear. Just have to wait until others catch up. Til then, we go as far as Thibs and Randle takes us.


Yup...there is no structure or offensive concept that's adhered to no matter who is on the floor.

A lot of standing around when Brunson, Randle or Barrett do their thing. I find our offense unwatchable at times, almost painful.

and IQ must start. The experiment with grimes is done. IQ is just as good a defender than grimes and he can score. First quarters we always seem to be dowm 6,8,10 points because grimes cant shoot. We dont have a sg starting.

And then who is the PG off the bench?

Grimes starts in part to guard best PG/SG on court and learn from that. Same thing they did last year with RJ

Check your E-Mail @ Info@UltimateKnicks.Com

Sent you a link/steam for tonight's game on TNT.

I remember you saying during Knicks/Celtics won how you didn't have TNT etc so hope you enjoy. It's an awesome stream with no lag and perfect picture/sound qualities. I've been using it for many of years for baseball games and PPV boxing events.

It's up and running right now too (even @ 6:30) you can click on it and it'll play what's currently on TNT right now etc.

Hope you enjoy man.

Thanks so much! Got it a little late but perfect!

The issue isn’t Quick or Grimes (who is struggling from 3) — the problem IMO is RJ.

He is a brutal defender..brutal and he has one of the more selfish (blinders on) offensive games in the league. He moves like a slug on both ends —- seems like a good kid but man he can’t and/or doesn’t defend.

He apparently refused to speak with the media tonight after rightly being benched in Q4 - again IMO.

I love over rooting for home drafted players and I struggle mightily with RJ since last year.
