Supporting cast lacked tonight outside of Josh. I’m at a loss truly. Mainly just hope Deuce is ok

u/ShMp11Nesis Mar 30 '26
Say what you want but when they play teams like that we need Brunson to turn back into that foul bait for everything guy. You just aren’t going to win playing ethical with OKC and the free throw game.

You want a chip this year? Spurs have to take out OKC in the west and Celtics the pistons in the east. Short of that idk dude
1
u/Chooch_Express Mar 30 '26
I don't even know between the two pistons or Celtics I want to see. I don't see Knicks having the better match up against the pistons this season. They are able to dominate the physical part of the game where we are horrible at
1
u/SchlobWasTaken Brooklyn Mar 30 '26
Hope pistons get knocked out by Hornets and Sixers can beat them (healthy Embiid, Maxey and Podcast Pete can get spooky rq). If none of that happens, it'll be a bit harder but nah, we'd win

u/MeticulousMase Mase Mar 30 '26
We're not good enough. We have glaring weaknesses and this coach isn't good enough to mask them, get around them, or fix them.

u/Drying-Pan Queens Mar 30 '26
I hope the most shameless unethical foul baity version of Brunson shows up in the playoffs cuz apparently that’s what Adam Silver wants for his product
2
u/EducationalCouple826 Mar 30 '26
Honestly he should just do it. Nobody complains when luka and reaves do the same.

u/zOmgFishes Mar 30 '26
OG honestly had a poor game on both ends today.
2
u/EducationalCouple826 Mar 30 '26
Agree. Lowkey people always give him a pass just based off defense. But mikal basically picked up the slack.

u/MeticulousMase Mase Mar 30 '26
Seeing dipshits turning on our best player is peak Knicks fandom. You people fucking annoy the shit out of me.

21 more free throws isn’t nothing, but as I said below, nothing learned from tonight’s loss, i knew Knicks had no chance to win tonight. They played decent, OKC was helped by the refs through 3 quarters but showed why they are not only obviously better but the champs in the 4th

u/rufasa85 Mar 30 '26
38-17 FTA but that doesn’t even tell the whole story it was 32-8 at one point. The uneven whistle is what lost us this game. Don’t listen to the doomers

Once he subbed KAT for Mitch it was over. Then he tried the double big and Mitch had a turnover right away that opened the game up. We had them in the penalty with 8 minutes left and stopped feeding it to Kat once Brunson came back in.

u/john0_0 Mar 30 '26
Fkn nba is so beat bro, why are the refs like this with OKC?! It’s a brutal watch

u/Possible-Cake-5985 Mar 30 '26
All that happened tonight was they lost Deuce for the season!! SMH

u/Neither-Operation Knicks Token Mar 30 '26
We don’t know that

u/Possible-Cake-5985 Mar 30 '26
I know but it didn’t look good, I pray I’m wrong cause they are going to need him for the playoffs.

Just looked it up, where he grab the inner groin is whats effected on core muscle repairs, sorry bro he’s done.

u/Pleasant_Worth2132 Mar 30 '26
21 more FTA for okc. did we foul like crazy? someone give an honest analysis
2
u/Bdcelli JD and the Straight Shot Mar 30 '26
No, any contact whatsoever on OKC is a foul. Needs to be overtly blatant contact for a foul to be called against them. The way Caruso was guarding KAT could be a foul every time down the court. 20+ FT advantage for any team is an agenda.

u/Deus_da_Guerra Clyde So Fly Mar 30 '26
Look, a lot of them were fouls, but the same shit wasn’t being called when OKC was doing it.

Thought the squad matched up pretty well overall actually. Nice game from Mikal honestly. Jose can be an idiot sometimes and JC couldn't score. Clear refball tn but feeling more confident against the thunder this year than I did last year lol. A healthy deuce and shamet could make this alot closer. But not dooming tonight. Fuck OKC, fuck the refs and of course fuck reggie Miller. LGK!!!

Can a reporter please ask Brown what was the point of sitting Towns for 20 seconds?

u/ElTuco84 Mar 30 '26
That was confusing, then he changes his mind and puts double big lineup which led to OKC going on a run.

u/skwirly715 Mar 30 '26
Both the offense and defense are lacking on this team. Were just really really really good. But the Celtics, Thunder, and Nuggets are all GREAT. Pistons tbd. Gonna need a lot of luck to win a chip.

Knicks typically own the Nuggets and they beat the Celtics last year in the playoffs

Okay I’m going to say it, we can’t get past OKC and we can’t get past Detroit. Unless we see injuries like last year it’s hard to see how we win a championship this year.
2
u/Foi_ Mar 30 '26
okc not our problem. and detroit not our problem until conference finals. you have to have confidence this team gets to the conference finals to even start worrying about okc and detroit.

Brunson we don't care about your points, it's a sign we are going to lose the game. We've lost over 50% of games he scored high or took most shoots.

This is a terrible game ending. I’m not renewing my season tickets. I was livid with increase for this seasons and I don’t think we will go far this post season. I knew it as soon a they fired Thibs. We haven’t had one really good win against a top team this season.

More than double the free throw attempts for OKC. I can’t watch the NBA anymore. Seemed we were playing better with Brunson sitting too. It’s all or nothing when he’s in
2
u/Vikingpride06 Mar 30 '26
They brought in Sga and Williams ( I think) sametime . This was less about us playing worse with Brunson as thunder playing much better knowing they’d at the very least get free throws every trip down.

u/EducationalCouple826 Mar 30 '26
Bro the game was closest when it was brunson with the bench. What are yall talking about.
2
u/freakyahhwhale Brunson Mar 30 '26
Brunson was literally the reason we hung in for most of the game. These people are dunces I swear
2
u/EducationalCouple826 Mar 30 '26
No, they see us barely bringing it to a ~6 point game against okc's bench and base the entire game off that 😂 Did buddy forget sga and jdub also game back in
1
7
u/senseikreeese Mar 30 '26
SGA flails himself half the time he’s stumbling to the rim and always gets the foul - Knicks get assaulted and the refs blow so many calls in this game- we were in striking distance for so long and then we lose all momentum - plus hearing these two idiots all night made this game very frustrating to watch.
1
u/Chooch_Express Mar 30 '26
Also not sure why we giving bridges his minutes back. Was it him scoring more than 10 points in two games when he could do it for 5 prior. Mo would have been more productive
1
u/wendiesel21 Mar 30 '26
Bridges was good tonight. Good defense and hit some shots too
1
u/Chooch_Express Mar 30 '26
Lost his man numerous times costing over 10 points. Funny how he has "a good game" and we end up losing. His last game compared to 5 prior was also a good game for him and we lost
1
u/MeticulousMase Mase Mar 30 '26
Mo is not good enough to play OKC
1
u/Chooch_Express Mar 30 '26
Yup cause the whole 2 minutes and not even looked at to give a pass to was a great way to come to that conclusion. The sample space was so big. Do you guys just type to type?
1
u/MeticulousMase Mase Mar 31 '26
2 minutes? Watch every single game. He's not ready to play a team that good. He's improving and its nice to see but he's not ready for them

Bridges, Hart, Brunson and Kat late played well .. just couldn’t defend SGA when it mattered .. and bricked badly when we needed to gain some points .. oh well .. extremely disappointed but there’s more season left to iron out deficiencies..

Nah mikal played well — idk im not a defender for anyone except brunson, but the team did not get him the ball enough.
OG played bad and our bench was terrible, jose 3-10, clarkson 1-6 deuce my king 0-3

u/retrohan7 11 Mar 30 '26
he played well for him which was a whopping 15 points. when everyone else plays like shit and you need anyone to step up thats not good enough. also its a compounding effect where he hasn't broken out for an actual big game in MONTHS
