Knicks · Game Thread: 11-30-2021 - Tuesday - 7:30 PM; New York Knicks @ New Jersey (I mean) Brooklyn Nets. On TNT (page 11)

We played well so that was good

BS call by refs. Yes if Mitch stayed vertical blah blah blah but truth is Mitch knocked the ball loose cleanly. Too bad we had no ability to challenge.

KD and harden get a lot of calls I honestly don’t think a single Knick got a similar call at any point in the game

Hopefully we grow from this

I understand if durant, harden, aldrige, or millsap had ball at end and got fouled by mitch robinson called foul but it james johnson let the play go lets go to overtime.

Great offensive game for him. Although he did so in 39 minutes and had a -11.

Good game for Randle as well. Hopefully this gets him going.

Fournier once again only played 22 minutes and we lost.

Good overall game. We showed we are right there with the best.

I’ll also repeat my criticism that Reggie Miller should not call knicks games. He is biased and takes a special glee when things turn bad for them. There are plenty of quality alternatives many w better credentials

I frankly don’t think he’s very insightful.

Yep, but he's playing the Knicks, so likely the ref's will suddenly revert to calling everything on him a foul, as though it was a Friday

Called it at the start of this thread!

Facts mane

Back in the day pat riley, Phil Jackson and any number of other respected good coaches would have a way in post game of telling the refs they’re clowns when they called a bad game. Ft discrepancy not a good look especially with many touch calls against knicks. Harden palms the ball every single time. It’s david stern and Adam silvers star treatment.

Great play by Mitch IMO. All ball.

Disappointing end to an entertaining game.

Personally I think Burks, Rose, IQ, Randle, Miles, and Kemba is plenty to handle PG duties.

And Jokubaitis waiting in the wings.

Unfortunately, Mitch should know the verticality rule. If he does not swipe down and just goes straight up, like a big should, we go to overtime. Hopefully a good learning moment for him. And yes the refs suck!

Toppin looked pissed off when he got pulled with 4 min left in the 4th. There was a definite back and forth with Thibs when he got pulled. I am liking his confidence.

I like what we got. If Thibs thought Bridges was ready, tonight was the night we needed another ball handler to give those guys a short rest. They played most of the 3rd and 4th. I was really surprised they didn’t look gassed at the end of the game, so what do I know

that shit is fucking outrageous...

its like world class club futbol where 50/50 calls just go to the stars.. or if a team is perceived as "weaker" they just let the other teams fpould th living shit out of them

On top of a very good game, Julius donating to charity.

Thibs never playing the rookies kind of bit us in the butt today. How you going to start Grimes in the 3rd with a group he has never played with. Barely gets any time but when he does its always with the bench mob. Not only that the guys he is going against is Harden and KD. He stood no chance tonight. This is why you ease them into being big game ready. You don't sit them for a majority of a season and all preseason and when illness calls for it you throw them in a lineup with strangers and expect them to succeed.

I don’t get the reluctance to play a small lineup. We should have closed the game with Randle, Burks, Rose, IQ and Toppin. Why is he bringing in Mitch? So we can play 4 on 5 offensively. Thibs doesn’t trust Obi but Toppin is a problem defensively for teams. You are not beating top teams in the NBA without being aggressive offensively. Mitch can’t catch the ball and nobody is stopping KD anyway.

90 seconds into the 3rd, Brooklyn has a 8-0 run or something like that. Good time by Thibs. Out of the timeout we run iso and get a horrible shot. Aren’t we supposed to draw up a play to get a good look? Is there any coach on the bench that can draw up an offensive play
