I love Obi. But for the sake of this season he either had to pick it up or we should get a G League all star or a waiver wire move. Hell I think Melo would be a better outside shooter and he has the aggressive play we need from that spot

Dinwiddie killing us
Rookie @ 2/13/2023 8:39 PM
Who does this Dinwiddie guy think he is….Kevin Durant
HofstraBBall @ 2/13/2023 8:42 PM
With Hart or Grimes adding more to second unit, would not mind Thibs going back to 10 man and seeing Deuce or EF getting some run. So to give all starters more rest.

1 quarter @ a time but keep outscoring Brooklyn like this every Q and we'll make a STATEMENT with a 20-25+ point win (blowout).

Horrible 2nd Q getting outscored by -9 and no longer up 6 but instead down 3.

No longer am I hoping for a blowout win 🤣😭🤣 I'll just be ecstatic with a WIN.

RJ & Sims, our worst +/- players are -10 and -9. The coach should have pulled RJ sooner, he is killing us with his weak D, careless fouls and can't finish drives in the starting unit. Grimes looks off. Otherwise, the team looked damn solid, need to tighten up the 3pt D, they shoot too high of a %.

Give some of RJ's minutes to IQ & Hart. Can't get rid of Sims until Mitch is back, but can't wait for that.

MS @ 2/13/2023 8:46 PM
Team is all one on one and very selfish, 6 assists at the half is ridiculous.

Randle and Brunson are great offensive players but they need to start moving the ball around the court. If your not selfish you’re not scoring out there.

Nets outplayed us in 2nd qtr when Hart and/or Grimes were in


Dinwiddie’s got our number

NYStateOfMind @ 2/13/2023 8:49 PM
Don't put any of that on Josh. If it wasn't for him, we'd be down 10. We took the lead with him, but then Thibs put RJ back in and that went away.

Hart’s playing well. I just don’t agree with the usual everything’s RJ’s fault talking points

Stop it. RJ = Kobe. Learn it, live it, breathe it.
He'll hit a 3pt in the 4th quarter and his crappy first half won't matter.

[/koolaid]

Meanwhile, 2 of 7 and Zeros across the rest of the board. No RB, Assists, steals, anything.

HofstraBBall @ 2/13/2023 8:59 PM
Good D by Sims. Randle three touches and three assists to start second half.
Kemet @ 2/13/2023 9:10 PM
The last 5 min before the Half the Knicks reminded me of Durant & Kyrie having Randle or Brunson only shooting the ball.
MS @ 2/13/2023 9:11 PM
Get RJ out of the fucking game. Asleep again, forgets to box out doesn’t hustle.

Thibs sucks if he was a good coach RJ doesn’t get off the bench the rest of the game.

Too much oxtail and beans and rice. I'm half Jamaican I can say that. My Puerto Rican half says " Estas muy Gordo " he is too fat.

Can we talk about how SMOKING HOT Brunson is playing right now? Jesus!

14 of 19!! Crazy.
NYKMentality @ 2/13/2023 9:27 PM
Awesome 3rd Q outscoring them by +13.

Knicks: 93.
Nets: 83.

Time to show 4th quarter KILLER INSTINCT and destroy these guys by +10 for a 20+ point beat down.

Agreed, he has been better lately in 4th quarters, but too much of a liability to risk most nights. Play him with 2nd unit if at all.

Panos @ 2/13/2023 9:34 PM
Loving the all around play of Josh Hart so far.
Speed, hustle, intangibles. GREAT glue guy!
