The Knicks Thread....

[Jeffx]

Haven't felt this positive about the Knicks since the 90s. Loved the ball movement and bench usage. This is what we've been screaming for.

[mp3]

Nicccccceeee!
Love the jersey my guy, hopefully we can get another win tonight

[Leander]

It's number 11 because it's my fav number and not because of Brunson.

As usual, a big lead, but got closer in quarters 3 and 4. No Hukporti...I'd play him if KAT doesn't make his shots...Hart struggled, too, but understandable with his injury..he grabbed an impressive 14 rebounds in 18 minutes though.

[Jeffx]

Everything Reggie Miller said about KAT last night in Milwaukee was , and it's why I was never a big fan of his. He just doesn't have that Russell Westbrook "dawg" in him at times....we saw it in last season's playoffs.

[mp3]

Iam really not feeling this team right now, we should of kept Mathews instead of Landry and honestly I preferred Precious over Yarbsele


Sure i know McBride had missed a few games but Clarkson has been inconsistent his whole career, hes definitely not hit that 6th man award winning stride yet

[Jeffx]

It's still early....let's see where they are after 30 games.

[mp3]

I do agree it is early and usually iam one of the biggest knicks homers going but the bench has been so underwhelming while KAT either needs to rest this injury or play harder.

[mp3]

Iam really not optimistic about the next few games vs the Bulls.

We need the OG from opening night and the bench to pull it together

Much better effort last night at MSG. I've never been a big fan of KAT, but if he gives us this performance every night, Knicks will be sitting pretty in April. Keep being aggressive and take it to the hoop. Like I posted before, they're still figuring things out.

[Leander]

Yet another year of not making it to the conference finals. Semi finals in my opinion.

[mp3]

I wont lie Jeff id trade Kat and Bridges in a heartbeat for Giannis but let's face it, it would be OG they wanted but I dont see that trade ever happening anyway

[Leander]

And another loss... We aren't ready again.

[mp3]

The team are so up and down this season, you either get allstar numbers from OG and Bridges or bench player G league stats with little in between and now Brunson is hurt too!

[Leander]

Shamet was on fire! But I don't understand why Bridges still keeps shooting including an air ball when he is cold as ice...was 6/21, 28.6 FG%...just give someone else the ball.

[mp3]

Brunson out and now OG !!

[Leander]

The NBA is boring...I like to watch some games here and there, but 82 games are way, way, way too many. Why do they have so many? Entertainment -> you should have your fav team(s) around all the time. Almost all teams play the same...and it's not exciting when there are way too many games. Reduce the season to 58 games...every team vs. every team home and on the road.
Won't happen in the US though.

Hart seems to be really important and is back in the starting 5. I was worried his hurt hand would keep it from making shots, but he seems to be fine.

Robinson is crazy...another 15 rebounds in 16 minutes. He needs to change his FTs though...2/12 in the season...something like that. He launches the ball like a rocket and with too much power...just use a different technique, e.g. the strange motion with both hands from the waist up...or one hand...whatever...otherwise it will be hack a Mitch again.

[Leander]

Final, here we come! And a meager 200k for every player.

[Jeffx]

I can't get excited about Silver's gimmick tournament and some fugazy trophy/banner. Only one trophy matters to me and it has Larry O'Brien's name on it.

[Leander]

The NBA cup is better than nothing in decades. The Spurs Thunder game is awesome...I hope the Spurs will win and Wemby will get healthy...then Mitch needs to take care of him.

[mp3]

Although i care very little about the nba cup I will claim that MF hard and celebrate like winning the nba championship lol

Not me....I actually want the Knicks to lose so I won't suffer the embarrassment of seeing that fugazy banner hoisted to the rafters at MSG....(facepalm)

[Andrew]

Well, the NBA Cup belongs to the Knicks!

Whaaaat? As a Knicks fan every title should be important. Better the NBA Cup than nothing...being a Knicks fan was more than hard for many years!

Didn't look good for in the first three quarters...I'm glad we made it! Downside: The commentators mention the money bonus in every single game! And more than once! It might be a cultural difference between Europe and the US, but it is really cringeworthy. Yes, money matters to European soccer players in the Champions League or the World Cup as well, but it is not the focus. Sports are about heart, passion, fame, trophies, achievements...and all salaries are nice to have, but secondary. Our commentators explain how much money a team will get for making the final or reaching something ONCE in the entire tournament or season or not at all, but talking about the money bonus multiple times in every cup game is annoying...including the last minute...

1-3 million dollars a season is far from being needy. The commentators' attitude made it difficult to fully enjoy the game, including Josh Hart's "Money" gesture. Do that in a European game and you will get booed for being a greedy *** that only cares about money instead of your club and fans.

I still don't like or think the league needed the cup but hey il take it !

Just glad that this roster pulled together well in the clutch.

I guess I'm too old-school. Remenber, I'm in my mid-60s. I'd rather have nothing than a bogus cup. At least the Knicks won't hang the banner at MSG. I give them credit for that.
