Giving up around 40 in a quarter to G league team is embarrassing

In a seemingly blowout win, the team managed to pull out a small win, yet Thibs overplay all the remaining rotational players. Hart took a beating, Brunson could be out a few games, can't get a damn minute for Jacob again. Truly pathetic effort from some of the team and staff. Praise to DDV, Precious, JB, & both Harts.

Teams get hot, I get it, but it should have never came to this. JB should have been out sooner, along with other remaining rotation players. 25 minutes for Taj & Flynn, zero for Jacob. An earlier point by a poster was maybe he only plays well against in the g-league. Well, they played a g-league team talent tonight, isn't that the exact time to play him at least 5 mins?

We have moved on from the garbage minutes police to the Play the Gleaguers minutes in an otherwise close game police.

Consider the other possible outcomes.

Knicks are fighting for that 2 seed. The one place you don't want to be is Boston's side of the bracket. As the playoffs continue, an injury here or there to Boston's starting 5 becomes more likely.

Turned that crap at the first half and came back in the last 4 minutes. WTF happened!

Anyone know why Memphis traded away Steven Adams for cap relief? He would have been OKC next year or not so much?

It’d be like the Knicks just giving Mitch away?

Knicks lost vs. the spread and didn't hit the under, but the real world got a big win despite being down to 5 rotation players.

Without his contract they avoid the second apron.

Not worried about a 4th quarter meltdown where we held a 30 point lead all game. They had a flukey 3 point barrage that won't happen again all season for them. More worried about this team falling apart at the seems with injuries.

I don't think fighting for 2 seed should be the priority right now. We are basically missing our entire opening night starting lineup now. Get whole and tread enough water to maintain the 3-5 range IMO. We will have to go through Boston one way or another.

The potential matchups in the 3-4 seed aren't really worse than the 2 seed either.

The 4th Q is as close as I’ve come to throwing the remote. It’s pretty crazy how well the Grizz reserves can play in stretches. This team is limping into the break.

Read that Brunson left the arena under his own power, no crutches. He may miss games, I have no idea, but it doesn’t sound like Randle’s ankle injury of last year.

Agreed.
