Always always always always always happens on these nationally televised games too. I don't understand. It has been this way for as long as I can remember.
Plenty of time we may lose by 50
I had to turn game off. Disgusting and selfish play
Tonight was a God of War night for me. Was reminded that we have never beat Ben Simmons and we have never beat the Nets while coached by Thibs and said I am going to sit this one out.

I’m pretty frustrated with this team tonight.

Lol
Did they give a reason why Hart was benched after the win? Simms wasnt bad, but Hart does the little things at a higher rate. What you need from a starting center who doesnt put a lot of points on the board.

Most nights, it feels like some of the players on this team are more interested in getting numbers...

The game felt like the Benny Hill music should have been the soundtrack. If your too young for the reference I apologize
Tonight, the Knicks looked like the organization that was neck deep in drama, not the nets.

I’m going to chalk this up to the Nets playing great for their new coach, Jacque Vaughan. Clearly the team likes him. Sometimes there is no way for you to win, especially if you’re not an especially good team like the Knicks.
This is a two-parter. It is also secretly a shot at those who wanted us to keep Reggie even after he was exposed during the playoffs. On another note, I think we are majorly hurt by the loss of Burks and Taj. Many games Burks won for us even last season while we sucked. Taj kept us afloat in a few games also. We did not win all of them but his presences is also sorely missed.

Exactly. He is the definition of effort and leads by example. Usually that’s contagious and deuce energy will spread to other teammates. I don’t care if he can’t shoot, neither can the entire squad besides Obi.
Durant is hoop savant. I like that he pulls the villain stuff out. Its not mean spirited. Its competitive and shows for the moment its his house. He is showing pride. We all know he wants out. When Harden and Vince Carter wanted out they sat out or just plain gave up on the court. Durant wants out. He stated as much. But he is a hoop junkie and doing his best. Given that, I respect his play.
Fact is Durant and this nets era has owned the knicks on the court.
Last night was a shit show. Credit to coach Vaughn who gets an opportunity to coach and pulled this team together last 10 days thru adversity and they are playing well.
.500 teams are Inconsistant. We are.

I'm not killing the FO for not keeping Reggie, but he's traditionally been a slow starter. I have to assume he picks it up. I agree about Burks. With Rose and Fournier struggling, we have no consistent creators off the bench. Or wing types. The hope is that Grimes eventually steps up.
