Which makes it criminal that Grimes isn't playing tonight.

I love Thibs but he's stubborn to a fault.

14-18 hahah.

Dude, why are you even on a Knicks message board.

This was a disheartening loss and a heartbreaking loss for me as a fan.

I really wanted this game tonight to get excited for our Christmas Day matchup vs. Atlanta.

Kemba Walker was electric but other than him, a bad loss overall.

Because I'm a true fan that knows this is a lost season.

I know now what you'll know in January, February.

Back in the lotto boys, you're going to love it.

Look no further than this.

A bottom 8 defensive rating.

Thibs' magic is gone.

BillTheButcher @ 12/23/2021 9:53 PM
Fournier contract , and extending Julius was fooking disaster IMHO .

He went against his usual MO. Brought Randle back even though we were on a small run to get within 3.

Very winnable game. This loss is on Randle and his lackadaisical play, Fournier who can't guard anyone and couldn't hit enough shots, but a lot is on Thibs for letting them stay in and stink the game away. I feel sorry for Kemba's great game and overusage.
Knixkik @ 12/23/2021 9:54 PM
This is too bad. You get exactly what you want from Kemba, Burks and even Randle and get beat at home. The home court problems seriously need to be addressed. There’s no home court advantage with the Knicks.

Wizards literally couldn’t miss from 3 in the second half and the refs made sure to put Mitch in foul trouble early in the 3rd

Is Thibs drawing up a 7 point play?

Too many guys went ice cold from 3. Kemba is not supposed to be carrying our offense

Kemba is putting on an absolute show!!! But, its difficult to win consistently with this brand of basketball...everything is one on one. No cutting off the ball, no ball movement....

That's up to the coach, right?
But you are right, more ball movement would be nice. Kinda like college basketball. Unfortunately, this is the NBA and iso, PnR, and one on one is the game.

100% on Thibs...Yes, NBA is a heavy pnr, iso league but thats no excuse for us to be bottom 3 in the NBA in assists per game! Wiz have 30 assists we have 16!! Its not just Randle, the whole team has to rely on one on one skills to get theirs. We stand around and take turns going one on one!!!
