Get lit up by Thanasis Antetokounmpo
Refs making sure they call time fast lol.
Any win we get w/o Randle is a great W in my book ...RJ & Burks again Rose and IQ were great as well ..

+1
Knew we'd make it difficult but I'm happy with the win. The Zone caused us problems but I thought we moved the ball well much better. 28 assists!
Also Obi got 6 pts in 7 mins. I understand why Thibs dosen't trust him but I feel like he coulda turned up if he was given a chance in the second half.
DRose reaction to hearing about Mitch , I almost shed a tear

Im guessing he wanted to give Obi a game to build on. He might have come back and had a bad second run. Wants to keep his confidence up. And Thibs gave Knox a chance to build some confidence as well. Win/Win.

Cut it out .. Thibs should've never took Obi out the game, Obi earned at least 18 minute for this game with Randle MIA, and MitchRob early injury. The Knicks would've played a much better game without having a low-low b,ball IQ RJ Barrett receiving 38 minute. I thought Thibs would change his philosophy to running a 10 man rotation through this Covid-19 season to get more players on the same-page. The reason I been saying Thibs is a decent regular season coach but a BUM playoff coach. Not playing Quickley in the 3rd qtr. but playing a bumbling RJ Barrett the entire 3rd qtr. had so many fans believing we were gonna lose this game to the Bucks G.League team.
I know Giannis is out but no Randle and Mitch got hurt still a good W

Obi had a good run, Knox had a good run. Been a while for both. Quit complaining.
Obi isnt going to turn it all around in one game. Plenty more opportunities ahead for Obi for PT, if he keeps playing smart.
Man Mitch being out really sucks

The obi complainers need to chill. The guy just got here and is clearly out of rhythm playing just a few minutes per night. Maybe with Mitch out he plays some Center
Knicks win without Randle and Mitch and some still have to whine. Why would I expect differently?

Obi played a huge part in the Knicks 13-0 run in the 4th qtr. that beat the Wizards in the last game.
Obi plays well in lineup with Gibson, Burks, and Quickley.
I never like the 30+ minute lineup of Payton, RJ, and Randle last season, nor this season. I was happy when we traded for Rose, so rookie Quickley and Burks wouldn't pick up any of Payton and RJ Barrett's foolish habits on offense/defense.
Another gritty win - this was a game that, if you looked at it on the calendar at the beginning of the season, it was going to be penciled in as a likely loss.
The Knicks stole a win on the road. We lucked out by facing a Bucks team that was far less than 100%. But it’s not like we were icons of health. Randle and Bullock out, Payton/Rose/Noel hobbled a bit, Mitch out (possibly for the season) after just 6 mins.
