We suck in the clutch again. Got up big then everything went into the toilet. the refs put their thumb on the scale, starting with the BS flop call on Brunson.

Can't blame it all on the refs. FTs and idiotic defensive doubles teams were also a huge problem. Unlike Randle Tatum will pass the ball quick to an open shooter in the clutch. Especially if the shooter is one clearly visable pass away. Did not even have to find the open man. He right next to him.

It was a good game plan. If Boston can keep their opponent to 50% free throws they’ll go far this season.

We fucked up not signing IQ he should be the starter over Grimes. Cost us 8MM a year.

Thibs needed Hart out there guarding instead of IHart.

Holiday handled Randle easily, which is embarrassing.

Free throws and we win, bad loss

Quick had a good game. He had plenty of them in the regular season last year. They stopped happening in the playoffs. Lets wait to see what he does in the playoffs before we start talking about his pay.

Entertaining game. Gonna enjoy this team I can tell.
LivingLegend @ 10/25/2023 9:58 PM
Let me try to be positive

- Randle least clutch player in WORLD
- Mitch starring in next Abbot/Costello The Invisible Man just like against Bam
- Brunson just off most of night
- rest of group (especially IQ) pretty solid games

I go back to what I always say - this is just a clunky ass team with limited offensive skill. Knicks clunking/funking, failing/whaling, sputtering/muttering—- MUDDAFUDDA’S

Fun game. Don't need to point fingers any further than free throws...but if you wanted to, Brunson/Randle combined 11/43 can accept some blame.

Great game from IQ. RJ looked real steady tonight (how about him taking AND MAKING that technical FT?!)

Going to be a good year.

Also, Tatum is ridiculously good.

So good.

NYStateOfMind @ 10/25/2023 9:59 PM
14-26 at the Charity stripe, 37% from the field, enough said. Terrible calls for a game in NY. Sick of the we haven't earned calls, a foul is a foul. The top teams don't need calls, too.
SergioNYK @ 10/25/2023 10:00 PM
Not angry but disappointed! Can't miss 12 FTs at home!

Loved the fight and effort though! We'll see these bastards again.

Same old, same old

We have two teams.. JB/Randle and everyone else. Grimes and Mitch have little or no role in the offense. They feed off of open looks, in transition. But I see no strategy to get them more involved in the offense. From Brunson or Thibs.

If they dont have a fix, then the FO needs to find some.

martin @ 10/25/2023 10:01 PM
Randle playing like he isn’t fully back or knows he is about to be traded

He stands out SO MUCH because he and Brunson are legit only true skill players on roster — which is incredible IMO.

LivingLegend @ 10/25/2023 10:02 PM
The hands displayed by Mitch and Julius tonight - OMG
martin @ 10/25/2023 10:04 PM
I don’t know how refs can get the Brunson flop call so wrong. Every other star is getting 3 FTs and Brunson gets a tech called on him

Julius literally fumbles every ball that comes to him - he is the Evan Engram of Knicks.
