So it was another fake comeback. Has anyone asked why Kemba can't be tried off the bench? I understand him not starting but why instantly out of the rotation? It helped us find out McBride can play but I still never understood that decision.

Kemba played as if he said "F*** trying not to step on Randles toes. I am playing my game!"

he's been getting DNPs ever since kemba declined to play when thibs asked him to. if thibs can't rely on you, it seems he'd rather remove you from consideration.

too early to call it on the season? I don't see how we dig ourselves out of the hole we've dug. I don't see us fixing the many problems the team has.

Wasn't expecting to win this (Boston is better) but was surprised we kept it close. Really disappointed in Randle.
On a night where we are shorthanded, he plays that poorly. I became a big Randle supporter after last season but he's lost me tbh. His play, defensive effort and body language are a big turnoff. He's become the total opposite of the player he was last season. He's becoming difficult to root for.

You can live with Tatum and Brown hitting shots but embarrassing to allow Richardson and Pritchard to go off like that. It's sad how much we've declined defensively. It was the biggest reason for the success of last season but you just don't see the same effort and pride this season from really anyone. Some of these guys got their contracts extended and relaxed.

Kemba showed what he can do and can't do. He can definately be a scorer off the bench but his defense is nonexistent. Hopefully we see a trade soon.

Hope the kids come back soon too. It's almost unwatchable without them. Losing sucks but it's even worse without guys you hope can be a part of a winning team in the future. We're going to struggle to reach 30 wins this season so guys like RJ, Obi, Grimes and Deuce are the only reasons to keep watching.

Which team have many problems?

A. Pre Covid protocol
B. Post Covid protocol

Going through this protocol came out two diamonds in grimes and duece.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

Nope. We have the 5th hardest record remaining in the league. It's going to get worse.

I doubt we reach 30 wins tbh.

Tonight, coach Thibs 8-Man rotation became to tired down the stretch to pull off a Knicks win in Boston.

The way the Knicks roster are built for the 2021-22 season, in the Knicks first 50 regular season games the Knicks will need a 10 Man rotation each game to build a chemistry for success.
Coach Thibs has a career of running a 6 to 8 man-rotation a game, even in back to back games (That's why D.Rose playing 40 to 48 minute a game became a injury-prone player in Chi-Town).

Coach Thibs wanted any reason to decrease the Knicks 10-man rotation that kept the Knicks above .500.
Kemba's mouth in practice or the locker-room bout certain players in the rotation gave Thibs the chance to decrease the 10 man rotation to a 9 man rotation by kicking Kemba out of the rotation.
The 9 Man rotation gave the Knicks 2-8 record.

Tonight, was the first game the Knicks starters owned the 3rd quarter from start to finish (41-24).
The Knicks starters went on a 23-5 run to take a 3 pt lead at the start of the 3rd qtr..
Showing facts that RJ Barrett has been the biggest problem in the Knicks starter lineup all season !!!
RJ Barrett need to be traded asap

Knicks don’t play a team with a record above .500 until Jan 17, for what it’s worth.

This now multiple people saying there was an altercation between Thibs and Kemba. Is this true? How did I miss this?

I fell asleep at halftime and missed the 2nd half but I'm not even upset about this loss. We were without half of our damn roster.
