Can't call trey Murphy a scrub... But it looks were about give up another career high.

Like iHart's fiance needs another nickname.

What a nice move from Toppin
franco12 @ 4/7/2023 9:05 PM
5 assist from Hartenstein!
BigDaddyG @ 4/7/2023 9:07 PM
Our most inefficient shooter has taken the most shots.
Panos @ 4/7/2023 9:16 PM
RJ playing pretty good tonight. I thought I would say something nice about him
Started out slow, but finished the half well.
Panos @ 4/7/2023 9:18 PM
I'm loving iHart's passing.
He even ran a pick and roll. Can I ask wny the Knicks never run a pick and roll?

It's like someone took Steve Nash in 2k and made him 7'0"

Im sure she is enjoying all the backdoor action from the big guy

MaTT4281 @ 4/7/2023 9:36 PM
Tonight really highlights what we miss when Mitch doesn't play.

When RJa outside shot becomes respectable he will be very dangerous and a great player for us Over the summer he must work on his three point game and defense
Panos @ 4/7/2023 10:18 PM
Can RJ STOP FUCKING SHOOTING 3's?!
Panos @ 4/7/2023 10:19 PM
0-9 from 3pt. JUst stop.
MaTT4281 @ 4/7/2023 10:23 PM
RJ can't hit water from 3. I get you want him to take the open shot, but you're going to have to pull that back a bit in the postseason.

That Grimes turnover at the end of the first half ended up being costly. Could've had a 4pt lead at half.

Development minutes. Now end with a win on Easter.

This was true in the summer of 2020, 2021, and 2022. It has not happened yet. Probably will never happen. The guy just cannot shoot from the perimeter.

BigDaddyG @ 4/7/2023 10:26 PM
RJ with more shots than IQ, Grimes and Obi. Team really could be used a playmaker tonight to get our best shooters going. I guess that's outside of RJ's realm of thinking at the moment

Maybe some glasses or contacts ?

Hopefully some GM will see RJ’s 19 a game, close their eyes to ALL the advanced stats and give us a nice return for STAR J.

We back to this again? I hate how we still give up weakside 3's for free.

If RJ didn’t play, do we win this game?

I still feel like RJ and Randle don’t fit. The difference is Randle has All Star skills, so he gets a pass. But it’s clear if you watch the pace of this team without Randle and RJ. Of course we are a worse team without them or really without Randle. I’m not arguing that. It’s just ugly basketball when our two ISO players don’t have it going because instead of passing more they shoot more when they not hitting. And it’s tough to win games when they are shooting bad.

Or

Maybe this the Brunson affect and I need to chill out and drink some tea. That’s a lot of pressure on one player now, with Randle being injured and will need a few games to get his wind back. But if anybody can carry a team is Brunson who already proved it. So never mind. Carry on gents.
