Welp
3 game losing streak with losses to hornets kings clippers
Julius has been awful in all 3. Brunson is out again.

Lakers have been playing really well. I expect another L tonight.

Have at it folks
Knicks followed their eight-game winning streak  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 8:24 pm : link
earlier this season with a five-game losing streak. Hope they stop the bleeding tonight.
They are not quite good enough to lose one of their  
steve in ky : 3/12/2023 8:29 pm : link
Stars and not have it impact them. Losing Brunson hursts and Randle has hit a wall on this west coast trip.
Mitch plays well tonight  
Earl the goat : 3/12/2023 8:29 pm : link
Against AD. Just a feeling
Need Randle to step up  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 8:52 pm : link
You can really see the difference in Randle without Brunson, Brunson takes so kuch pressure off of randle because he can be the PG and number 1 option and Randle can go out and score..

Would be nice to also have Rj have an effecient night..

Nets and Cavs both won

Today
Woj says Jalen likely out against Portland.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 9:11 pm : link
Knicks hope a week of rest will have him ready for Denver.
What

a possession. Randle throws up an ugly air ball on a three and it leads to a three by Grimes.
Randle giving 0 effort to box out to start  
Knickstape : 3/12/2023 9:22 pm : link
Come the fuck on bozo
Also grimes really needs to stop  
Knickstape : 3/12/2023 9:24 pm : link
Driving baseline and jumping in the air. Shits a turnover every fucking time
Knocks getting out hustled  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 9:25 pm : link
and Rj and Randle tossing up terrible shots, Hear is a hint Rj, when you take a shot that has zero chance to go in you are not going to get the call..

What kind of play was that after a timeout?  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 9:28 pm : link
Chuck it to Randle and let him launch a contested mid range?
JVG calling out Randle for shooting the tech instead of Quickley.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 9:34 pm : link
He’s been all over Randle so far on the broadcast.
I liked seeing Quickley  
bluefin : 3/12/2023 9:37 pm : link
jump in to double-team Davis
OK up four heading to the second quarter.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 9:45 pm : link
Let’s get to work.
Well thankfully good Randle reappeared tonight  
Stu11 : 3/12/2023 9:46 pm : link
When AD comes of the floor you have to absolutely take it to that pile of NBA mediocrity that is the Lakers bench these days.
Subs doing great  
bluefin : 3/12/2023 9:50 pm : link
changed the game flow with good D
RJ is maddening  
larryflower37 : 3/12/2023 9:51 pm : link
Because he gets to the rim really well. Hopefully they drop more consistently.
Randle's mood and effort really sets the tone for this team, it's seems when he is in the right mind the whole team plays better.
Randle was great in the first  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 9:55 pm : link
but it’s amazing how the energy changes the second Hart comes in.
McBride  
AcidTest : 3/12/2023 9:57 pm : link

Unreal.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 10:12 pm : link
Would’ve been up seven with all the momentum.
Robinson must have small hands or something  
steve in ky : 3/12/2023 10:13 pm : link
The ball slips out of his hands way more than normal
If quickley doesn’t hit that shot  
Knickstape : 3/12/2023 10:13 pm : link
I guarantee that ref gives free throw attempts.

Absolutely horseshit to not call that
Twenty-five  
AcidTest : 3/12/2023 10:14 pm : link
from Randle, including the three right at the end. Great half.

Nice bounce back game
First off not an and 1?  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 10:16 pm : link
Good half from Randle and Quick lets hope they can keep it going..

Grimes is getting cooked by Russell needs to wake up a little bit..

Mitch and Hartenstein are too slow to guard Davis, Mitch has gotten caugh flat footed a couple of times..
Randle and IQ have us ahead with great shooting  
Stu11 : 3/12/2023 10:16 pm : link
But man that was one horrendous defensive half. How many layups are we gonna give up?
Mitchell looks like he may be injured  
LW_Giants : 3/12/2023 10:19 pm : link
Moving in slow motion, struggling to jump and move laterally.
And I know I'm dogging Grimes lately  
Stu11 : 3/12/2023 10:19 pm : link
But he's been a near zero on offense for over a month now and if he's gonna defend like that he needs to sit. Period.

can’t let him have the baseline
Mitch is lost  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 10:35 pm : link
and up 7 you force up a crap shot and miss and now the lead is back to 2..
Ugh this fucking team.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 10:36 pm : link
Have the momentum and inexplicably dump the ball to Mitch in the low post against AD - how’s that gonna turn out? Shit possession leads to a Lakers flurry.
Did Mitch get benched for that?  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 10:38 pm : link
Quick hook.
Rjs inability to hit the 3  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 10:40 pm : link
is killing them..

and Hartenstein with the fake hustle ends up in a wide open 3
Weird sequence but lead is up to eight.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 10:42 pm : link
Gotta get Hart in there to corral these rebounds.
Kinda hoping D-Lo cools off?  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 10:45 pm : link
10-12 is a bit much.
Or not.

Rj and Grimes playing zero defense  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 10:47 pm : link
bring in mcbride and hart
Enough of grimes

Grimes been awful  
Knickstape : 3/12/2023 10:52 pm : link
Was really hoping he’d step up tonight. But man on both sides of the ball an absolute dud from him
Good  
AcidTest : 3/12/2023 10:54 pm : link
hustle by the Knicks for two offensive rebounds, but they couldn't finish.
That’s really the best we can do, Julius?  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 10:56 pm : link
Hard to have any confidence in their ability to close this out.

Hopefully the 2nd unit gets us a nice lead because I don't trust the starters to close out a close game.
Let’s put Lebron  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:01 pm : link
on camera just a little bit more.
Great work from RJ.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:06 pm : link
Up seven, but we’ve been up seven before in this one.
RJ  
AG5686 : 3/12/2023 11:06 pm : link
Is man-ing up here in the 4th
Watching the game with two hot Brazilian girls  
Vanzetti : 3/12/2023 11:11 pm : link
And they both wonder why “RJ” does not get the ball more
Barretts first 3  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 11:14 pm : link
is the hardest one lol
RJ!  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:14 pm : link
Way to step up!
Hilarious that’s the 3 that goes in for rj  
Knickstape : 3/12/2023 11:16 pm : link
There’s a good player in there somewhere. But idk if we will be able to unlock that player in New York
Gotta bring Denzel to some games at MSG.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:17 pm : link
RJ shook hands with him earlier and is putting on a show.
Randle time.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:19 pm : link
Shitty mid range shot and a loose ball foul.
3 minutes left  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 11:22 pm : link
and you call that foul? he is obviously trying to bait you to make a call and you gift him free throws
This is getting dicey.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:27 pm : link

Knicks just cant close it out  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 11:28 pm : link
make it more and more difficult
Up four with the ball. Timeout Thibs.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:28 pm : link
Spoiler alert - it’s time for a Randle whirling dervish.
Is Mitchell hurt  
bluefin : 3/12/2023 11:29 pm : link
?
I'd bring in McBride for Schroeder  
robbieballs2003 : 3/12/2023 11:32 pm : link

Hart!  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:34 pm : link
ONIONS!
Big much needed win  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 11:36 pm : link
back to the 5th seed and a good win for morale
why is this team so dumb?  
Enzo : 3/12/2023 11:37 pm : link
JVG was really calling them out for it.
Whew, needed that one.  
bceagle05 : 3/12/2023 11:38 pm : link
40-30. Couldn’t have asked for much more than that after 70 games.
Gritty win  
AG5686 : 3/12/2023 11:38 pm : link
For the Knicks
RJ and Julius carried us
Barrett 30 pts  
bluefin : 3/12/2023 11:39 pm : link
best game since the Doncic injury
Hart and Hartenstein  
bluefin : 3/12/2023 11:41 pm : link
combined 18 rebounds, several in crunch time
Not pretty at the end  
Stu11 : 3/12/2023 11:41 pm : link
But a well needed win. Give Hartenstein credit, offensively he can't hit a shot but did a good job on AD in the 4th qtr defensively and he's been great on the offensive glass lately.
What were the lakers doing  
nygiants16 : 3/12/2023 11:46 pm : link
after the schroeder layup? they had i think randle in the backcourt with the ball and didnt foul and the clock ran all the way down to 5 seconds..

lost 14 seconds

Hart did a good job, but I also thought that AD was way too passive. He’s gotta demand the ball.

Great fight by the Knicks after yesterday’s loss. The bench played great.
Lillard missed today’s game with a sore calf.  
bceagle05 : 3/13/2023 12:26 am : link
Please rest a few more days, Dame.
We saw last night how big the Knicks bench can be  
nygiants16 : 3/13/2023 9:08 am : link
especially to start the 4th because teams usually rest their star to start the 4th..Rj and Quick can take advantage of that and get the Knicks leads or extend leads..

With Brunson back he can come in and close it..
Welp, Miami hangs on against Utah.  
bceagle05 : 3/13/2023 10:00 pm : link
At least Dallas lost again. Can’t believe we stole Brunson and will now have a possible top 15 pick courtesy of them. Good times.
I don't understand why Obi and RJ  
xman : 3/14/2023 12:43 am : link
aren't killing it inside. Potentially dominant players .
RJ needs to add a mid range game

Mavs are now only 2.5 games from the 6th spot in the Lottery. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

Hart excels defensively and regularly fills up the various categories on the stat sheet like he’s playing a game of Yahtzee.
