That's game. Have to respect the game Rubio had tonight. I'll be dumbfounded if he is ever able to do it again, but for tonight extremely impressive.

Mobley looks special.

Nope. Say that to our effort, and sense of urgency.

And Thib’s management of Obi’s minutes tonight.

We tried getting back into the game the entire 2nd half. But Rubio wouldn't let us.

Oh well. Bad loss. 6-4 after 10 games. I'll take it.

3 of those losses at home. Not a good sign.

The good - I’m glad Grimes got 12 quality minutes. IQ is showing signs that he can point guard. Obi looks like he is always in beast mode.

The bad - Just about everything else.

There was absolutely nothing good about this game, from the players, coaching, rotations....It was all bad

Ricky rubio had the game of his life otherwise Knicks win

Knicks offense is completely dependent on 3’s all of a sudden. There is no motion, except with the 2nd team and what the Knicks get coming out of timeouts in terms of shot selection is horrendous. Our 3 point D is really bad. While Rubio was lights out, Osman didn’t make a shot all night so it was a wash. Knicks got work to do, they just can’t show up.

agreed. this team can be quite good and can be quite bad. it was all perfectly on display in the atlanta series and continues into this season. it was quite evident even in our exhilarating 5-1 start.

i’m looking forward to seeing what thibs does to address the bad and how the players respond. games like last night are real disappointing, but the intrigue is in seeing how we harness our talents and make changes that will get us out of our protracted bad spells and bad habits.

But why against us? Myles Turner has the second game of his life against us shooting 70% from 3.
Rubio just went 0-4 with 0 points a few nights ago against a Portland team that couldn't guard me. Suddenly he's found his inner Steph Curry.

Why do the Knicks have to lose like shit when the Giants manage to scrape out a win?

Rubio Career really never took off as the 4th overall pick. “La Pistola” had some bad injuries and while fundamentally sound he never had the elite quickness for stardom. Still a good career and fun to watch.

Always wished we’d have him land here in some form.

That said, and as a hoop fan, I hated that we lost but I took away appreciation for his game and glad to see I caught a career night from him. Fucker has the best hair of anyone in the league! LOL It never looked out of place! LOL

Yup. I had the same feeling. I really thought we were going to be able to draft him or Curry. Then Minnesota did that dumb they did picking 2 PGs.
