What's the biggest come from behind comeback win within Knicks Franchise History?
I'm not sure? But I do know that tonight's 25 point comeback vs. Boston just became the Knicks biggest comeback in 18 years (2004 @ Milwaukee: came back and won from down 26 points). [IMG_block] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FIeCY6RXoAE3HX6?format=jpg&name=900x900 [/IMG_block] This is the type of game that brings a team together. The type of win that can bring all 3 of confidence, momentum and belief. |

So I am back in Russia and now live games start at 4 am. So I came up with watching the replay the next morning. Just got to be very careful not to open the sports news in order not to find out the results before watching the game. Man, what a game that was. My favorite game of the I don't even know how long. First half the Celts just had to take a look at the basket and 2 or 3 points would appear on the box score. Unconscious, the whole damn team, even Marcus Smart. But there is one thing I have learned about Thibs Knicks. We can climb out of any hole it seems. Once we put the clamps on we are right there with the best of them. If we can learn to sustain that type of defense we should be better than even last year.
Evan Fournier wow. He can stay for now. It's very suspicious though that he is only motivated against the Celts. Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair

Yea, if him being pissed at the fans makes him play with energy then I welcome it. I care more about wins than being liked. |

Knicks take care of business on the court and the rest falls into place. Boo birds could instead yell ecouragement. Lets Talk that Maple Mamba DNA. Ever notice as part of RJ’s growth he comes up big even after half or 3/4 bad game? Or long stretch of inconsistant play then does something good? Thats the High ceiling of a 21 year old still getting his growth in. He did not shy away, stared it down and ****ing nailed it! It was a great night!!!! |

My problem is that taking cues from exactly what the Mets did (even subconsciously) is akin to taking military advice from Iceland. That said, Julius could flip both middle fingers at us fans, for all I care. He wins, RJ wins, EF wins, we all win. |

I was really annoyed for most of this game. I absolutely hated how we started. We just weren't ready to play. Celtics did whatever they wanted. Our team D was just awful But gotta give credit to this team for fighting back. Coming back down 25 is almost impossible. It always starts with defense.
We held the Celtics to just 41 points in the second half after they scored 63 in the first half (38 points in the 2nd quarter). I think I've now watched this RJ game winner over 20 times since last night! That was a insane performance by Fournier! I did not think he had this type of game in him. 41 points including 10/14 from three. This game would have ended in a 20 point plus blowout if he wasn't for him keeping us in the game in the first half. I just don't get why he only plays like this against Boston and like total crap against everyone else. Even his defense was different! He bodied and forced Tatum to take some tough shots! Hopefully this game helps him start to put a string of good games together but I'm not counting on it. I do not like Randle telling fans to STFU. It's not like we're booing for no reason. For the majority of the season, he's played lazy and hasn't hustled. Especially on defense. I'm personally tough on him cause I know he can do better. I've seen it. We've all seen it. It's nothing personal. But whatever get's him going, I don't care. I just don't like calling the fans out. He can't win. Ewing did that once too back in 95 or 96 and was booed the entire game every time he touched the ball the following game. Randle just needs to play better. |
I cannot believe Thibs would actually call a play for him, considering how well Fournier was shooting and Randle usually takes those shots anyway. And let's be real, RJ was not having a good game. He shot 3/14 before that and wasn't having a good defensive game either. I think every time Smartt hit a three to extend the lead after we cut it down to 2, it was always RJ helping mad late. But weird how Thibs called his number in that situation cause it doesn't make any sense but kudos to RJ for stepping up and making that! Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good! |

This is how he has to play - really fkin aggressive and locked in. He played like it last season (which is why the fans loved him and why he got the big contract). Not so much this season. And to those fans who were booing him.... I say keep lighting the fire under his ass. Everything in moderation. Even moderation.

@ Martin.
You should keep the thread Title the same for @ Boston Pt. 2 (minus the TNT part). Because... "Maybe Fournier will have another good game against Boston?" You hit the NAIL ON THE HEAD with that thread Title 😅 |

What a nice comeback and an even better clutch buzzer beater by RJ! The knicks have been such a tease all season, every so often they get a statement win and most fans expect that this will be the turning point of the season but somehow the knicks just can't take off the next game or two they always fall and crash back to earth. The team still lacks consistency both on offense(starting 5 cant seem to gel) and on defense. Im still hoping Kemba comes back healthy and form a consistent 3 headed dragon in the starting line up with RJ and Randle. If only they can figure it out and those 3 can average 20pts per game the way teams like the nets(kD, Harden and Kyrie) does most of the nights they play together.
