What a game by KNicks

But yes we should probably think more about cam Johnson than Bridges at this point. Probably far cheaper and probably more of what we need anyway

Bridges doesn't feel like a player that would justify several first rounders and a few good young players. Neither does OG. Maybe Cam but why give up RJ plus picks for them ? RJ needs to become a better 3 pt shooter, and return to being a better defender and with his other skills he can be a good role player for us. I'd trade for Tori Eason from Houston for some picks. I'd draft a back up wing but not trading RJ with picks for OG and Bridges.

Funny, I was going to say the same about Bridges. I haven't been that impressed.

Grimes really has a strong first step and a solid 3. I love the confidence he is showing. Still needs to figure out what to do with the ball when he gets pressed. But he has a really bright future.

Barrett will sort it out. I think he may have bulled up too much and may need to focus on his agility. He just needs a little more bounce in his step. He’s telegraphing his shot also.

Brunson had one of the best offensive games I’ve seen. Guy couldn’t miss.

IQ is looking more and more elite very day.

IHart needs to remember how big he is on offense. Settling for soft shots when he should finish strong.

JHart is getting vocal. I love it. Need to get him a couple at plays as a slasher.

MitchRob is a beast of a player. So glad he is back

Great game to watch. This team is getting better every game.

AGREE 100%
I did not know the Nets trade made the team this bad, and having a vocal chemistry leader made us this GOOD. We scored 110 points in 3 quarters !!!

Fish still owes us more apologies for hating on Brunson before the signing

I don’t hate on the nets unless the diva sisters KD and Kyrie are on the team

martin wrote:Fish still owes us more apologies for hating on Brunson before the signing

Ive def apologized... twice really. I didnt think anyone would help us clear cap space out of the goodness of their heart and little did I know Detroit only wanted an "amen" to help us.

The other thing was remember the main issue with Dallas with Brunson was he got played off the floor in the playoffs. That was the year BEFORE he went off on Mitchell etc. Like why do we want him so bad if they arent even sure.

So I was literally wrong twice on him. 1)he's overrated... ahh... ok no he's not. 2)we cant get him.... ahh... holy shit, thanks Detroit. I guess we dont need cap space so long as YOU have some

THRILLED to wrong on that one. Next up we need KobeRJ to level up. Imagine we saw RJ playing some D? Honing his drive and dish game instead of his drive and crash into walls game? You are up next on the fish apology list. Step on up son!!!!

I'm still flabbergasted that Mavs could have had this guy on a 4 year $56M contract. Dallas saw him work every day for 4 years and COMPLETELY missed. That's like $14M per?

Doncic is a massive talent, but he needs/wants/has the ball in his hands waaaayyy too much and still hasn't switched that mode where others can also really flourish around him IMO

Man, you had me at flabbergasted 😁 it’s hard to make the who won the trade argument Doncic/Trae. Obviously Doncic is the better player but neither “team” has done jack shit.

I was for the signing, but I wasnt sure of how much of an impact Brunson would have. Definitely didnt see a season this good.

That was a straight up ass kicking! It was over in the first quarter! And it felt so good! No sympathy for the Nets! Season high 47 points and 9 threes! Brunson was once again outstanding! I really thought he was on his way to 50 but it doesn't really matter. He's made 30 of 39 shots against these Nets the last two games and scored 79 points! As a guard! Just sick!

Loved how Randle passed the ball. Was the QB in that season high first quarter finding three point shooters. Found Grimes, who was on fire all game, for three of them early on. Great sign from Grimes hitting threes and getting involved in the offense. IQ doing this thing off the bench again. Shut down Dumbwiddie and scored his 15. Hart Foundation brought their toughness and grit.

Fourth straight double double for Rob too. He's brought this team to another level since returning. Fingers crossed he can stay healthy!

Solid game from RJ. Made some threes, some nice drives and got the daily alley to Rob for a dunk. Right now we just need RJ to contribute and be better defensively. Lost his guy a couple of times in the halfcourt for open threes which cannot happen! Same with Obi. Just play your role and play it consistently and defend!

I do! That franchise chirps way too much and they have been doing it since the 90s with Coleman and Anderson.

Maybe I'm living in the moment but this is the best scoring Knicks team I've ever seen. Especially during this win streak! Like 120 points is so easy.

no its legit and its the YOUTH that makes it so good. It's NOT a top heavy team, and the old guys are Jules/Hart/Jalen at 28/27/26. Wow. I have been dreaming about this and really enjoying the ride. Draft, develop, grow, play hard, be well coached, share the ball... all of it. So enjoyable

I love how dynamic our players are. Pass, shoot, drive. really makes us fun to watch.

Josh Hart has definitely been playing well but IMO his biggest contribution is the step-on-their-throat toughness. Saw it the other day when he celebrated Tatum getting tossed

And saw it yesterday when he drove though a don't-care defense very late in the game with a big lead. In football that's playing through the whistle.

Jules over dribbling, spin moves and crack cocaine whirling & swirling had me on edge of seat - even with 25 point lead. He really is like a powder keg of emotion BUT he is playing with great effort - just a crazy man sometimes.
