LMAO and CryMAO at the same time!!!

Eh, on the bright side, I see DRose reigniting the "Fade for Cade" campaign.

Wrong team’s pick

They were in the finals for a reason


I'm not even talking about the talent disparity. The execution is on a whole other tier.

I know. Hence the reason they were in the finals. They’re multiple rosters with similar talent levels but their offense is what sets them apart. Even with the injuries they had they still caused problems for the Lakers.

Terrible day all around, losing to this Miami team and trading for Rose to negate any Quickley progress.

Bah

fitzfarm @ 2/7/2021 3:25 PM
Shitty rotation, shitty back to backs I hate back to fucking backs we should have destroyed this team .... thibs has to start keeping our youth out there

The shot jacking late in the game is a problem though.

Back to Back games are a problem all around the league, that 4th qtr is a struggle. One look a the Standings and see so many teams hovering around 500. No

A Tom Brady win would make this one of the most epically annoying sports days in history hahahah

RJ 19 minutes

Don’t know why so many are raging at this loss. Wins= playoffs, losses= lottery balls, either way we’re good.

I missed the game. WTF happened? Why did RJ sit? Thibs loves his vets.
Knicksfan @ 2/7/2021 3:31 PM
Man, I wasn’t expecting this love-hate relationship I’m experiencing with Thibs. For one part, you can’t negate his influence here and how he is making this team tougher to beat. 11 wins with many close loses speaks great of him.

But every warning we got about him has turned true. Youngsters have to play perfect to earn any playing time and even then they are quickly yanked for the veterans even if they suck or are playing badly. That’s why I’m hating this Rose trade so much, because I can see Thibs justifying not playing Quick because he has to learn and the vets will get us wins.

Payton 30 minutes 3/12 ............................I have not hated a Knicks player this much in a while ..

Chris Dijon, Jose Calderon, Al Harrington on the right play...

IQ finish the game over Payton, RJ looked slow and had no energy, bullock was having a career day.

That d rose trade man lol. I’m actually not too bothered about it it’s only sucks that our young guys didn’t do too well here.

For me, Payton was making most of the right plays and played stout D. He just couldn’t make a layup

2 more made layups and this game is very winnable

So, IQ was in the game when they tied the game. They yanked IQ for EP leaving Rivers in. They gave up the lead for good and then put IQ back in the game to close it out. Such a crappy substitution set.

Also, there is a simulation that plays out where they just miss the playoffs and end up with a crappy, mid teen lottery pick. The DRose trade pushes the team closer to the reality.

Missed game. Why did RJ only play 19?
