Knicks losing 3 straight with the Kings coming up. Not a great situation.
Knicks now in legit danger of having to go to the play in. Only a 2 game cushion. And dont forget you would play Philly rd 1 with Embiid most likely.
Still in the driver seat but not an easy schedule.
Nobody needs surgery after this game. That’s a W.
We’re limping into the playoffs again and I hate it.

Fingers crossed this is the last time we have to play that team. I don't want any part of them in the playoffs. They have always had our number and truthfully they would beat us even with a healthy Randle and OGA. They are just too well coached and too experienced and they showed it last night.
Brunson, coming off being the player of the month in the East, was pretty much shut down by Spoelstra's defense. I know Brunson missed some shots he normally makes in his sleep but the defense clearly bothered him and it resulted in 5/18 and 5 turnovers. Rebounding has been our bread and butter and they outrebounded us by 9 and we had a season low 30 rebounds total. Hart had an off game and those careless turnovers were a killer.
Zebras again sucked but that has become expected now. Just wished they would call it a little even. That push off stiff arm by Martin on Brunson was so blatant as was the Terry's And1 3 over Deuce where he kicked his leg to initiate contact. I like Thibs sticking up for Brunson postgame but I'll gladly settle right now for 10 FT attempts for Brunson.
Good signs from Bogey. We'll need his shooting and scoring moving forward as I don't think Randle is coming back and even if he does, he will be rusty and ineffective. Figures that bum Terry would have his cHeat high against us. First guy I can honestly say torched Deuce. That fossil Love continues to be a problem for us.
Last time we looked like we were about to drop into the playin we responded with an 8-2 push and a 3-1 west coast trip. Started with a big win against the Kings IIRC. LFG.
My opinion is the team is starting to get a little deflated with the injury situation. Seems they are losing some hope on that front and last night they played like they did when injuries took a massive toll a couple months ago. Inserting Deuce into the starting lineup got them some juice back. Feels like they need a jolt of good news on the injury front pronto.
Nah, we got them right where we want them. Keep the faith!
This is crazy good, right?

We definitely need this. Last night, I though they should have taken Hart out instead of Bogs when Divo went back in. Needed that extra shooter to loosen up the defense for Brunson.

One of the best moves by the front office is extending this man before he blew up. Got him on a nice contract.
