But Knicks offense is dissolving into the Big Three going one on one Brunson has 1 assist

RJ being guarded by Irving and Curry neither wants to get physical

.

Knicks would be losing by 40

If this team had Durant and Simmons? still 40

WTF is he wearing
What a waste of a player

...
RJ is playing smart basketball tonight
Posting and toasting

is a real hardship for this team.

Amazing with the Nets shooting 52% and 51% from 3.

holy crap what is she looking at?

He hits that and we are down 2. Nets inbounding ball. Instead the brick and transition 3 and nets go up 8


Love deuce defensively. He is an absolute 0 on the offensive end

Killing them, desperately need a shooter off the bench

RJ is playing the type of game I have been advocating all along....driving penetrating-taking advantage of high advantages not just waiting at the 3 pt line to shoot

Knicks have hand in the face and they are still making them

One of top team with makes and percentage from 3.
Tough match up

Knicks missing wide open 3s, Nets making every single one, contested or not..

Game reminds me of the game against the Spurs in san antonio

Has made the Nets better

Can do anything he wants

Its so fun to watch, wish he didnt play for the Nets

One time lets go!

of team defense

He's a loon, but Irving is so damn good.

is Grimes going to miss?

Time for the d to step up

.

Nets are just better than us. As are Cs. And 76ers. And Bucks.

Team is a playoff team, but we're still missing a superstar ala Tatum, Embiid, Giannis, etc.

Superstar league, sans '04 Pistons.

Its a joke and he had a layup, why are you backing up to shoot a 3?

This nets team isnt better, they are coached better and they have Kyrke, but their team isnt better..

Nets have made 23 3s..

Unstoppable

But, damn he’s talented. You know why the Knicks were all in on Durant & Irving a few summers ago.

Had time to swing it and get a better shot.

.

Nets made their 3s off of ball movement and Kyrie went nuclear in the 4th..

Knicks missed some wide open 3s and fought but when a team shoots 55% from 3 on 40 shots, you got no shot

sometimes a team just shoots the lights out and no matter what you do they keep maming shots and some nivhts it comes down to a superstar closing it, tonight was both..

Brunson and Randle just didnt have great games, missed some timely wide open shots

Exactly I think he's great. He's a hell of a basketball player, too!

with the watching of the games. For example, the Knicks 3 point defense is among the best in the league. When watching games, it doesn’t seem that way.

We have Tbibs Randle and RJ as coach and top players we will be middle of the pack.Add the fact we don't have really anyone that create their own shot besides maybe Bruson and IQ let alone hit a shot with any consistency. This sycks

Refs just missed one of the most blatant fouls you’ll ever see - Tatum hacked Lebron on the forearm as he was about to hit the game winning layup at the buzzer.

I’ve ever seen just now in Celtics lakers game to close regulation

Awwwww what a shame

LBJ bitching afterward made me smile. God, I can't stand him.

How bad a whistle LeBron has gotten the past 10 or so years since he went to Miami. It’s pretty egregious how the best perimeter interior finisher of all-time who is constantly attacking gets to the line less than guys who are basically jump shooters.

He’s about to blow past Kareem’s record without any help from the refs, that’s for sure. I just don’t get it. It’s like the NBA decided he was too physically strong like Shaq, so they wouldn’t call any contact on him either way. But then why don’t they treat Giannis and Embiid like that? Those two are massive strong humans yet get all the ticky tack calls in the world.

I wonder if there’s a noticeable difference in ft rate for LeBron moving forward. It’s just odd how he’s been treated by the refs. He’s LeBron fucking James, treat him like it.

or is he still behind Rj? id still have him come off the bench because i think Grimes fit is better with the starters and off the bench IQ can control the game and still get 30 minutes a night..

But man has he been playing really good basketball

Knicks are definitely better with him on the floor in place of RJ. Is that because he is a better player or a better fit?

I'd say better fit. But IQ is definitely a good player.

Better than Grimes and should have been out there at the end of the game.
I don't think he goes 0-3 like Grimes from 3 8n the last 5 minutes plus RJ size was a plus last night against Curry and Irving he was bullying them all night

They’ll be good to go versus us on Tuesday, of course.

Again, I have to respond with….awwww that’s such a shame.
