NFT: KNICKS VS. ROCKETS 8pm

larryflower37 : 5/2/2021 12:55 pm
1 game lead on ATL
1 1/2 on Celtics and Heat.
9 games left to play.

6 game road trip starts tonight, 5 against teams fighting for playoff position.
This is a big test before the playoffs.

Need to take care of business tonight and not look past Houston.

Should have everyone but Mitch available for the stretch run.

#LFGK.

While we all enjoyed the nfl draft. Now we’re ready for the stretch run. LGK!
Any news on Mitch?  
robbieballs2003 : 5/2/2021 2:53 pm : link
I heard not too long ago that he was "out for the regular season" meaning that the playoffs were still a possibility in some capacity. Is that true or just wishful thinking?
This is must win  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 2:59 pm : link
Tough road trip, need this game
The next TWO  
Carl in CT : 5/2/2021 3:00 pm : link
Are. I don’t want to look ahead either.
Also  
Carl in CT : 5/2/2021 3:02 pm : link
Go Portland and Charlotte today.0

Not seeing anything good. Seems like he's done for the year.
Sounds like Burks is back

What? He was shooting around before last game?
Seems like longer than three days  
Bricktop : 5/2/2021 7:41 pm : link
Since the Knicks played.
Since when did the Rockets  
Bricktop : 5/2/2021 8:13 pm : link
wear blue and paint their court blue? Looks awful.
Holy crap Payton sucks  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 8:21 pm : link
..
At this point Elf is a hurting  
larryflower37 : 5/2/2021 8:24 pm : link
This team and needs to go to the end of the bench.
Get Payton out  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 8:25 pm : link
.
Knicks tied  
Bricktop : 5/2/2021 8:27 pm : link
Despite having a guy named Elfrid playing.
Elfrid  
Bricktop : 5/2/2021 8:27 pm : link
BANG!
Amazes me that  
jpkmets : 5/2/2021 8:27 pm : link
Payton still starts on this team
This team loves to start chucking 3s  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 8:56 pm : link
when they get a lead
You take Payton out  
Mike in NY : 5/2/2021 8:57 pm : link
And the team goes on a role. Rose is the better PG for this team. It is just a shame that he can’t play starter minutes at this point in his career.
Why does this scrub  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 9:00 pm : link
Olynyk always seem to score at will on the Knicks?

When Burks comes back you could easily take Payton out of the rotation and keep Rose's mins at 28..

He has been playing over 30 lately
Rose needs to start.  
larryflower37 : 5/2/2021 9:11 pm : link
Burks and Quickley can pick up the extra 16 minutes Peyton is playing.
Damn I would rather see frank play the minutes at this point.
How good is this team going to be  
Chris L. : 5/2/2021 9:12 pm : link
once it has a real starting point guard? Payton is worthless. Its like he knows he has no future with this team. Half the time he looks disinterested.
If i am the rockets  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 9:15 pm : link
i bench Porter to start the half, you are the worst team in the NBA and you have 4 seconds and instead of trying to get a shot at rhe end you hold it to save your field goal percentage..

1 of my biggest pet peeves
That Houston shot clock buzzer  
Bricktop : 5/2/2021 9:16 pm : link
Is some state pen get your ass on the yellow line type shit. Geezus.
Noel is bad tonight  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 9:25 pm : link
and of course letting the rockets hang around..team refuses to put teams away
Now the Rockets believe  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 9:35 pm : link
keep letting them hang around
What horseshit is that?  
Anakim : 5/2/2021 9:36 pm : link
Noel got hurt because Olynyk clearly flopped
Bring the bench back  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 9:37 pm : link
..
thank you to whoever talked shit to Randle  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 9:40 pm : link
..
World Wide Wes  
bceagle05 : 5/2/2021 9:40 pm : link
about to rip his shirt off.
Randle with 31 at the end of the Third Q  
Anakim : 5/2/2021 9:48 pm : link
Looks like Randle will get 40 by the time the night is done
Let's hope they can get some rest in the 4th  
larryflower37 : 5/2/2021 9:50 pm : link
Quick turnaround to Memphis tomorrow.
24ish point lead at this point....  
Kev in Cali : 5/2/2021 9:56 pm : link
We got this!

Go Knicks!!!
Celtics lose  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 9:59 pm : link
..
Only negative tonight was losing Noel to injury  
dpinzow : 5/2/2021 10:07 pm : link
They needed this one and they need the one tomorrow night in Memphis, which will be more difficult

Nope, rest Randle for tomorrow night. This is the first of a back to back
Though, as others have mentioned already...  
Kev in Cali : 5/2/2021 10:11 pm : link
this road trip will be a grind. LAL will be at full strength and tuning up for playoffs when we play them later and should be a pivotal matchup...

Hopefully they are saving Rose's knees for now. Mitch should be a welcomed body back.
I missed a good chunk of the game  
mfsd : 5/2/2021 10:15 pm : link
what happened to Noel? Going to be tough without him if he misses time
Nice  
Carl in CT : 5/2/2021 10:15 pm : link
Win!
The team is so much better  
nygiants16 : 5/2/2021 10:20 pm : link
with Rose at Point even if he is not shooting well..
That was a horrible game for Obi  
larryflower37 : 5/2/2021 10:25 pm : link
Knox definitely looked bad in garbage time also.
Nice to get Barrett and Randle some rest.
I wish they would have pulled Rose earlier

Hope not too serious. Nice to see us take care of business tonight, good start to the trip
wow - didn't see the game but  
Del Shofner : 5/2/2021 10:34 pm : link
some box score.

Hope Noel is OK.

Olynyk should be fined. That was bush league.  
Anakim : 5/2/2021 10:39 pm : link
It was an awful flop by him and because of it, Noel got hurt. Hahn pointed out that that's how LeBron got hurt and missed all that time. It could've been a lot worse.


Fuck that long-haired Canadian hippie-looking bitch
Blazers back from the dead with four straight road wins  
shyster : 5/2/2021 10:40 pm : link
Mavs lose to SAC at home.

Blazers and Mavs tied with nine games left; Portland has tiebreaker.

The dream of Mavs being knocked into the play-in and then into the lottery still alive.

And, oh yeah, KP misses his 23rd game of the season with right knee soreness that caused him to leave a game early a couple of nights ago.
Part of me is hoping  
Leg of Theismann : 5/2/2021 10:51 pm : link
what the Knicks have been able to do this year and the spark that's given the city to get behind them will inspire Giants players to want to build something like that for themselves in NY. A lot of these young dudes on the Giants were pretty young when Manning was leading us to the promised land, and also they're not from the area, so I'm hoping now they're seeing a taste of how passionate this city can be and how good NYC treats its winners it'll inspire them to instill that same sort of thing in the NYG organization. The culture Judge is trying to build has a lot of similarities to what Thibs has been credited for building w/ the Knicks in a short span of time.

Also-- I credit Randle for having that vision of what NYC and MSG can be like when the Knicks are winning and instilling that in these young players, getting them onboard and inspiring them to want to bring it out of the city. Given that Randle is from Dallas and only 26 years old I'm often impressed w/ how knowledgeable he is of NYC culture in general. He has a very 90s NYC vibe about him which is partly why I love the guy so much lol
