Towns and Hart took a lot of criticism against Boston and they bounced back big-time
Excellent win. JB off night but bench and KAT handled business

JB with a load management, fouls night for the back to back. Good thinking.
Pacers are a bunch of punks. All bravado when we’re playing w half a team, and that half is hurt
Hate them
This is a cue for Nalod to give some contrary (stupid) spin that haliburton wasn’t a punk
JB and Mikal fresh for a new look Atlanta team which is down traded 2 Knick killers in Hunter and Bogey. Also down 1 Knick killer in Jalen Johnson for the season. Capela also been out lately. Not a matchup to be taken lightly but a very different matchup then the team that caused us fits.

Hahahaha...I was going to say the same thing
Good win last night. Indy even without Turner a tough win on the road.
Shame looked good even before garbage time. Good to see the bench coming around perhaps.
I'd suspect we keep OG out tonite?
Josh was awesome. Good to see Jalen does not have to do it every night. KAT passing was excellent. Good to see him playing this loose and having fun whilst Thibs stalks the sidelines. They have both come to enjoy it. Kat Matured and Thibs has mellowed some. He was also Team president in Minny. His GM? Scott Layden! LOL. Small world.....
Nice bounce back win! Especially against these hicks in that house of horrors. I still cannot believe we lost to them in the playoffs.
Great team effort! 128 points on 37 assists and outrebounded them 48-36! KAT looked so much better last night. He was just moving better and didn't look like a 36 year old Ewing like he did against Boston. So whatever treatment he got really worked! He was driving the ball with speed and power and that baseline dunk over Bryant was awesome! His shot also looked better, going 3/8 from three. Josh Hart was so good too with 30 and 10! Damn shame a guy like him will never make an All-Star team but he is just as important and impact here as some of those other All-Stars on their teams. His motor is second to none and his ability to rebound and finish and trigger transition opportunities is at an elite level. Hart is someone we will remember and still talk about 10, 20, 30 years from now.
Kudos to the bench! That group all played well and had one of their best games of the season! Deuce found his touch going 4/4 from three, Payne was solid and filled in nicely for the Cap, who had a rare off game, and Shamet played really well at both ends too.
A number of very high profile players have worn no.3 for the Knicks over the years, but the true spiritual successor to the most celebrated no.3, John Starks, is Josh Hart. There have been a handful of players that have come along in the NBA that bring in the night in, night out, grit, hustle and heart to the table and these guys are in that group. Undersized, but an unmatched competitive spirit. Sure both guys
are somewhat limited in some respects, and can drive you crazy once in a while, but you're never gonna question the effort or desire. There's a contingent of people who want them coming off the bench, but both guys were also more skilled than maybe they were given credit for.
I can't imagine anyone who grew up living and dying with the mid 90s Knicks who doesn't absolutely love Josh.

You know Thibs will troll out the Game Time decision and then pull the rug. Hopefully. Or 40+ minutes, one or the other.
Cam Payne played a solid PG last night. Obviously he has his weird heat check 3s, but the guy is slick at getting into the lane and hitting that little scoop shot (Shamet tried to copy it last night and failed). He gets up on people defensively and brings a lot of energy to the floor. This dude is a very legit ballplayer and quality backup PG. Small backcourt with McBride worked well against the Haliburton/Nembhard.
I think the answer is clear as day. Josh has embraced his reality.
