Knicks · No Sleep Til Brooklyn - Knicks 7:30 TNT (page 1)

Nets are aiming for the cellar - we should not do anything but help them.

Great win yesterday followed by a _____.

Hoping for a gutsy win. Cam Johnson, though, seems to turn into Curry lite whenever we play them.

They just lost to OKC - none of their main guys played much, so assuming they are well rested and ready to give effort, which we have struggled with when playing tall, young athletic teams (not sure Nets fit this)

We are 2 & 3 in back to backs. Let’s get to 500!

Cam Johnson's shooting #s are phenomenal, but the Nets are insanely depleted right now. Not the time for a let down, as the Knicks face a gauntlet of quality Western Conf teams coming into MSG over the next week or two after this one.

Just to remind everyone - the last time we played the Nets they had Schroeder and Finney-Smith, now both are gone. Cam Thomas hasn't played for weeks. Simmons is apparently sick. Russell has been dealing with a hammy. Ziare Williams is out now, Watford is out.

I guess no Bojan reunion of sorts

Does he make the waiver wire? When's the part of the season when we get to pick which veteran players will elevate our bench to unreasonably high expectations?

We couldn't pick him up anyway since he was traded. I liked Bojan, but I'm afraid he's cooked.

How about Ben Simmons!

Ben Simmons out tonight!

Going to the Barclays tonight. Friendly enemy territory. First time catching the team in person this year. Hope it works out!

Hope this is another game where Thibs makes more use of his bench. another shorthanded squad. It should be good for morale as well. Everyone gets involved. Sometimes you need a bench player(s) to get the W.

You should bring a book. I heard Barclays gets real quiet these days by the third quarter.

Mikal for 34 tonight and the Knicks win by 14.

Going also with my older son and his friends. Hoping to see some inspired defense and team ball in offense

Why is this game on TNT? Who cares about the Nets?

I’d be fine if Vince Carter spoke and the rest of the studio went home early. Especially Shaq, and I forget her name.

The unavailability of Simmons is worse news for us than it is for the Nets.
franco12 @ 1/21/2025 7:52 PM
It should not be this close.

Every time Precious hits a three the world feels like a slightly better place.

Pic or it didn’t happen, he should know this by now
