Releas the Deuce! I would like to see that match up. I wonder how long it will take Thibbs to break Walker.

I guess the ABC execs realized getting tv ratings was actually a good thing

You really when the schedules were made the last few years the Knicks were worthy of a high visible game?
ABC execs want good games. Knicks last played in 2018 and lost by 14pts.
They don't "Hate" knicks, they "love" ratings!!!!

The “good games” were getting sh t ratings
Trae Young is a Made for TV character. His Reggie Miller-like antics are VERY entertaining. ABC execs probably watched that series and started salivating like Saint Bernards.

League was not too happy with Fizdales knicks getting blown out on National TV. We’re you?
Last year knicks had to earn their way back to respectable street. It was a second half of season push that was validated.
Trae Villian-esque performance I found very cool! The dude bought it in the Mecca. Some villains are wannabe but he took it to the replacement fans who ventured out from covid to newly opened MSG.
Did I hate Reggie miller for doing what he did? Sure. When he mixed it with Spike Lee it became cool in my book. I respected Reggie. Trae Young is just starting out now. Don’t know if he grows into this potential or not like Reggie did.

The lions play on thanksgiving every year and they’ve done it in 0-16 seasons. It was stupid to for the nba to keep the Knicks off Christmas and the tv networks deservedly lost money

Lions been doing thanksgiving since 1934. There are deep traditions. NBA on Christmas Day is not nearly the same. Also, traditionally NBA ratings don’t aggregate up until after football season ends. Its not about the lions as a draw, its just how its been and perhaps there are years where Lions suck and there is pressure where they Network wanted them off. But there are contracts to be upheld.
NBA puts its stars on TV for Christmas and ratings are drawn by those players and not “teams”. Football is not as star centric as NBA.
The knicks or any team does not have that level of tradition. MLK afternoon game is a knick thing that is upheld. Is it a TV event? Not sure.
Lions are playing Thanksgiving Thursday. Cowboys are playing Thanksgiving Thursday. Lions play the early game. Cowboys next.
NBA won’t put it a shit team on Christmas Day. They are star centric. They have the flexibility to change it up. If the knicks suck in the early game it ruins ratings for the lineup. True, knicks are a major draw around the country. All things being equal if Knicks are respectable they get the nod.
But don’t insult this forum with a blanket statement without research. People put on NFL games regardless of whose playing. NFL parity can make for more entertaining games. Knicks if not competitive and get blown out is a bad thing for ratings. Some people might tune in just to see knicks lose. Competitive games with interesting players matter. Randle is a draw. RJ could be.
This just made me even more exciting Knicks with my daughter on Christmas that's pretty cool.
PS: Kemba Walker is 4-1 all time vs Trae Young he's a Trae Young killer because he attacks him with NY heart.

Is this some non sanctioned one on one thing they played?
Or…..
In three seasons they would have had about 14 games (ATL same division in CHA) in regular season before he goes to Celtics. Out of that they only played 5 games?
what was the record and stats for those games?
Kemba likely sat out one or two last season.
