After this game we are 1-10 in division games, that’s disgraceful
NYKBocker @ 4/7/2021 9:56 PM
Burks has no lift whatsoever
Caseloads @ 4/7/2021 9:56 PM

BillTheButcher @ 4/7/2021 9:57 PM

Fun season. Let’s not destroy Randles career by playing him 40 minutes to get in the play in game.

Play the young guys now. Gibson is solid and a great vet, but if we blow a real impact lottery talent to get our asses handed to us by the nets in round one so Thibs can be Thibs it’s a huge mistake.

We should have definitely sold some pieces at the deadline.

Damn, I’m trying hard to make arrangements to watch them at the end of the month, but they are killing me. These losses are brutal because for all the good vibe about competing, the end just crushes your soul.

Losing to the Celts, like losing to the Heat, the Nets and the Sixers, it just kills any hope of making the playoffs. Why? You keep failing at beating this teams when it matters. They can have their worst games, miss some stars, but they just have to keep the game close and simply kill you in the fourth.

This sucks. I’m down...

Burks yet another one that does not know how to set others up. Seems like the Knicks do not realize the first option is always guarded in crunch time. Gotta make that extra pass. Problem of late is everyone is trying to do it by themselves.

I'm not happy but not doom and gloom.

Winning is a process. We have not been anything remotely resembling a winning team so this is what you have to go through, learn and assess who is worth staying or going.

You gotta develop the youths. Playing vets who will not be here in 2 years is a total waste. Playing Gibson (despite a great plus minus tonight) over Toppin, Knox and Quick is a mistake.

Barrett really had a career game and Randle didn’t shoot well but did his thing and they still didn’t score 100 points. Where does the offense come from ? Need another weapon this summer badly.
PresIke @ 4/7/2021 10:08 PM
We're just not THAT great.

There are problems to critique but I would not expect to win against the C's in Boston, who also have faced some tough loses lately.

I hear you but I think Gibson is "a glue guy" who does things that is good for the young players to see. He's been really huge for us and no way we're where we are without him.

Obi starting to get some time. Knox, we'll see, and I hear it may not be the end just yet. He clearly has to earn it and Thibs I sense likes to challenge players he thinks need it.

If we throw out Obi and Knox we'd be far worse.

RJ is playing and playing greaT! This was arguably his best game.

Did you see Toppin in there tonight? He is so soft. Needs to work on his game this off-season. Knox had his chance. Seen that movie ending before. Quick maybe. But defense is first right? and the guy's Thibs had out there were playing plenty of it. Just a frustrating loss. And those have lots of what-ifs.

Not surprised with the loss. It seems like the same old same old. Maybe when its 5 games left in the season Thibs will finally think hard and maybe consider a roster rotation adjustment.
