Burks and Bojan will play. Can’t stand Indiana, let’s beat them.

Meh. I don't want anyone else getting hurt.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 2/10/2024 7:34 pm : link
I want our starters back. Not much else matters till then.
Holy hell

What a brutal national anthem. I do hope that girl gives up singing for something else.
This reminds me of last game. Stop chucking up 3s.  
robbieballs2003 : 2/10/2024 7:48 pm : link
Indy cannot defend the paint. The last 3 possession resulted in 6 points from taking it inside.
Only down one thanks to Donte.  
bceagle05 : 2/10/2024 7:59 pm : link
Turner predictably killing Taj. Can’t believe we’re down to our fourth friggin center.
IND 71%, NYK 43%  
shyster : 2/10/2024 8:09 pm : link
and Knicks up.

4 turnovers to zero and 0-2 free throws vs 6-6 will do it.

Precious is going to be hard to keep out of the playoff rotation.
Burks throws the inbounds pass away.  
bceagle05 : 2/10/2024 8:10 pm : link
I forgot how randomly terrible he is at that.
TJ McConnell  
bceagle05 : 2/10/2024 8:13 pm : link
breaking us down. Ugh.

Precious's play was a surprise to me. When that trade was made, I thought he was just a throw-in.

Burks looks lost out there so far, oi
Oh Obi…

that was entertaining. Hope NYK wins by 1.

If he did that for NYK, Thibs would have stormed the court.
Taj is useless.  
guitarguybs12 : 2/10/2024 8:37 pm : link
I would imagine almost any other center they could drag off the street would be better.
I hate Haliburton  
Knickstape : 2/10/2024 8:38 pm : link
Such a dickhead
I definitely admire how sweet Indy's offense looks.  
robbieballs2003 : 2/10/2024 8:40 pm : link
I love their ball movement. With that said, our defense needs to play better. They look so bad. I get the injuries are why our defense looks bad but these bigs need to step. Turner and Siakam basically had all their first quarter points.
Down three at half  
Maggot Brain : 2/10/2024 8:41 pm : link
after the Pacers shot 70 percent from the field ain't too bad.
Pacers shooting close to 70%  
bluefin : 2/10/2024 8:41 pm : link
Knicks only down 3. Could be a lot worse
And this proves how valuable IHart is.  
robbieballs2003 : 2/10/2024 8:42 pm : link
I hope they are able to keep him next year.

Was not playing new Knicks ball. He thought it was a couple years ago. What a selfish chucker. .
Guys our whole interior defense is in street clothes  
Stu11 : 2/10/2024 8:54 pm : link
Including the backups. They're fighting but Indiana is killing them pounding the ball inside and getting easy shots
I know we have injuries but  
Knickstape : 2/10/2024 8:59 pm : link
My god taj is absolutely terrible
Defense is very concerning  
Eightshamrocks : 2/10/2024 9:00 pm : link
Need Harstein back ASAP. And as good as Bondonovic looks offensively, he looks just as bad defensively.
Haliburton and Tatum  
Eightshamrocks : 2/10/2024 9:02 pm : link
Both have the most punchable faces in the NBA
Knicks  
ajr2456 : 2/10/2024 9:02 pm : link
have to go small with Precious at the 5. Taj isn’t giving any rim protection, get another shooter out there
And how the Hell does Simms miss 3 games with an illness?  
Eightshamrocks : 2/10/2024 9:06 pm : link
Is it the flu? He'smd be an improvement over Taj.
Want to complain about the 3s  
Knickstape : 2/10/2024 9:09 pm : link
But they are getting wide open looks

I l8ke Burks, but I agree. He us chucking too much-not enough ball movement tonight.
I fucking hate the pacers  
Knickstape : 2/10/2024 9:17 pm : link

I hate Haliburton even more than Reggie Miller  
Eightshamrocks : 2/10/2024 9:19 pm : link
And that's saying something-what a punk. I wish Wally never apoligized to his ass.

I don’t give a shit about seeding - I’d gladly play this Indy team in a 4-5 matchup and destroy them the way we destroyed the Cavs last year.

Concerning. The reason is right in front of you. Taj Gibson can't do any rim protection and they have no one else. Bojan is forced to play because they're injury depleted, he's not a defender.

Fucking TJ McConnell is like Boston Scott  
Anakim : 2/10/2024 9:26 pm : link
Fucking scrub who owns my team.


Taj Gibson needs to retire tonight. Enough is enough.
It’s nepotism  
Anakim : 2/10/2024 9:27 pm : link
Taj Gibson offers jackshit on the court. He’s a liability on both ends.
And the rout is on.  
bceagle05 : 2/10/2024 9:27 pm : link
Probably looking at a four-game losing streak going into the break.

And have you start down low instead?
Knicks down to their 4th string Center  
Eightshamrocks : 2/10/2024 9:28 pm : link
In Taj. I guess we shouldn't be that surprised. This team needs to get healthy really quick.
Even Celebrity Row sucks tonight.

Yeah, start me at the 5…because Gibson and myself are the only centers in the NBA

There'd be bigger questions to ask if Taj Gibson was Tom Thibodeau's son.
Guys - its not everday  
fanoftheteam : 2/10/2024 9:34 pm : link
You lose 3 centers in the NBA including 2 in the same week. It is what it is until after the ASB. Give it a rest.
Hart’s game is a bit off  
bluefin : 2/10/2024 9:38 pm : link
without the chemistry he has with Hartenstein.
Limp into the all-star  
larryflower37 : 2/10/2024 9:39 pm : link
Just get everyone healthy for the stretch run and finish top 4 in the east.
Welcome Home Mr Burks  
larryflower37 : 2/10/2024 9:42 pm : link

This.

You know what the issues and challenges are. They aren't going to win a lot of games against playoff teams with these injuries. The entire defense is built around having either Mitch or Hartenstein out there and OG on the wing.
The All-Star Break isn’t gonna solve much.  
bceagle05 : 2/10/2024 9:50 pm : link
Mitch, Randle and OG will still be out for a while after that. Hopefully the break is what Hartenstein needs to get healthy.
That win at home against Miami  
Chris684 : 2/10/2024 9:52 pm : link
Was probably the high point for the Knicks in the last 25 years. We have our superstar and everything set up perfectly….and then….injuries
At least we have silver lining in  
fanoftheteam : 2/10/2024 9:53 pm : link
Playing the rockets and magic before the break. Great chance to get 2.

They probably want Hartenstein to rest through the 22nd though. Still will be tough sledding.
