Not a smart play by Hart, but Coby White has 5 feet of fucking hair to draw contact. Tip your cap to him he easily knocked down 3 FTs in high pressure on the road. Our guys bricked from the line.

Lots of misses from KAT and Brunson, can’t give those away
Update:
This guy is going to go down in Knicks history as a great one.
Dammit! This was the type of game that could have sparked this team to go on a run. Sucks! We badly need Precious back.
Give Cam Payne a lot of credit. He plays stingy, physical D for a small guy and he is fearless taking shots

Playing in Minny sucked for this guy’s rep. I never realized he was this type of player. Pretty much none of the bad things I thought about him are true except the weak interior defense. Been waiting for us to get a player like this for years. Can’t wait until everyone is back healthy and everything clicks.
Thibs sounds like a close family member died in the post game

87 pct FT shooter, went 4/8 from the line on a night he had 46. He knows he could have had a 50 bag and the win if he made his freebies. Love seeing him put in that work

So you’re saying it’s premeditated?
These are the types of games that the players really want back and will stick with them. Hopefully they use it as motivation. It took them 3 1/3 quarters to get going. Maybe it lights a fire to start earlier.
I hope Josh explains his poor decision making on the next Roommates Podcast.
He did not touch him. The hair. That fucking mop needs to be outlawed. Is there no limit?
Sucks we did not have a challenge.
Why did Thibs pull Payne and others? They were tired. Great come back and the bench did their job.
22pt comeback expends a lot of energy. Vooch can't guard Kat and they cold not stop it.
OG and Brunson came in fresh. Josh Did not foul, but was too close. Good flop by Coby White.
Great game, the garden was alive and was a nail biter. Brunson shot was halfway down. Ugggh!!!!
You sleepwalk through 3 quarters of a game, finally make a run but still struggle with last minute execution.
This team might be super talented and might peak at the right time if we are lucky, but right now they can’t be taken seriously by anyone.
There is always a player that kills you, there is always questionable defense, there is always that “why aren’t you playing with effort right now”, things that you wonder how many are things still trying to fit together vs. where tf is your head at?
No team is too lowly for us to lose to right now. It will hopefully change, but right now this team can’t be trusted for anything.
What a kick in the nuts.
Clyde cursed us. 
Every time towns missed a *shot FT he would say they’ll come back to haunt you
And Breen sucks at putting the FT jinx on the Bulls. He’d say how well they were shooting etc and the buy would sink shots. He needs to study and practice up on jinxing!
Dumb fouls at the end but I think it was a function of their energy (which was MIA much of the game) boiling over and the refs letting them play near the end of the game. Brunson was more of testing limits when the refs were letting things go. Joshs was a massive brain fart and he knew it. And as Vdesai said is that even a foul w a normal hairdo? Not to mention white was flailing his legs around too to draw a foul
KAT was great
*edit
Im gonna spin it positive. We worried we lost the never say die attitude we had last year. To me this was the first sign this year that its still there, and the biggest positive is that it was the new guys who drove that. KAT, Bridges, Payne are the guys who brought us back in this game. Knicks are gonna look back at this game and understand the gear that was needed that we haven't been hitting. A certain effort level on defense and boards was hit after they were sleep walking. Now they know what needs to happen night and night out.

Blocking 3 pt shots was my specialty. But the angle Josh had, there’s no point in trying. Especially knowing we lost a challenge. With a short time in the game why not switch everything vs giving him an open 3 off the pick?
Thibs or the players should’ve game planned on that switch. There’s enough scouting reports to give you that insight. Josh is strong enough to guard that big who set the pick.
Terrible defense strategy by coach and players. Terrible call by the refs. But they had to make it live. I’m wondering if it would’ve been reversed after the replay. Is touching hair a foul?

In basketball, simply touching a player’s hair while they are shooting is generally not considered a foul unless it impacts the player’s ability to shoot or affects their movement. So great job selling that foul.
But Josh touching his hair did impact that shot. The only call the refs could make is flopping. Otherwise there’s enough contact to the hair to make his head move and affect his shot. Josh should’ve never been in that position. Switch off the pick or let him go. He’s been bricking his 3s all game.
I think that should have been a flop called on White or no call at all. Hart was reckless, but it was hair conract and White kicked out. Lame flop, but I give him credit for hitting 3 ice cold FTs on the road to win the game. Thats not easy.
Lets see what the last 2 min report says.
1 on 1 defense in the first half, where guys were just driving past us for layups without a crazy dribble move was driving me nuts

Good point!
Over all it was a good game and near comeback. Team was flat after winning in Philly last night but good takeaway was our bench/Cam Payne leading the come back. Thibs took them out before they fell flat and the Brunson was clutch. That the bench stepped up was big and while the outcome was tough, its gonna happen. Outcome was a disappointment but the garden rocked and fans got their monies worth!
Kat gonna feel the bruise today!!! I think many fans are super excited just how good he is. Sure we caught him here and there on TV and his cred was "Soft".
Not like Thibs has special sauce or we changed much. This kid plays with a big heart. I
