[illoquent aka dsk]

IDC how early it is in the season. Needed this just to keep those guys sane.

We Men.

 

[you go boy]

I'm so happy we got this W. Man I love this team!

 

[Mark Antony]

What the hell is the need for KP to be out there in foul trouble, in a win like 4 games into the season?

 

[nick.]

32 assists & only 5 turnovers tonight.

Wish our defense & rebounding was better but a W is a W. Great win vs a hot Bulls team.

 

[goldenchild9]

Would've like to see KP out there even with the 5 fouls.

You called out the team for not looking for him, everyone took that to heart and KP had one of the best games of his career....let his finish it out.

That's valuable experience.

 

[surgev1]

am I the only one willing to let those last two games slide, because of how well this game was? Whew

It was great to see a team seeing one of their own players losing confidence, and they all took a concentrated effort to get KP involved early-and-often to regain his confidence.

[goldenchild9]

No doubt.

A win is a win.

 

[abematic]

Why they bury KP on the bench in the 4th so much man. This is disappointing

Rose embarrassing the Bulls at home tonight

5 fouls

 

[abematic]

Bulls actually arent a bad team.

Knicks, on nights like these, they can be so good.

 

[surgev1]

Porzingis: 27 PTS, 5 REB
Melo: 25 PTS, 6 REB
Noah: 16 PTS, 9 REB
Rose: 15 PTS, 11 AST, 7 REB

Imagine if we could get this out of them regularly, this is definitely what we HOPED for.


Playoffs byke?

 

[you go boy]

When this team plays up to their potential. We so dope though

The coaching staff needs to get game footage of that game, copy it like 30+ times........and replaying it every single time they review game tape whenever the Knicks decide to revert to being ****.

This game reminds that what they are suppose to be

 

[dmvisrnb]

Porzingis: 27 PTS, 5 REB
Melo: 25 PTS, 6 REB
Noah: 16 PTS, 9 REB
Rose: 15 PTS, 11 AST, 7 REB

You feel me? Lol We complaining about who should be in when we just won convincingly by 13. Porzingis would have been in if he didn't have 5 fouls with 7:30 to go. The last 5 closed strong...you ride that out sometimes.

Anyway, back to those stats. The balance! This team is so talented and once they learn each other and find their spots, it's gonna be beautiful stuff to watch. DRose looked great today. I love his aggression and penetration...no one can stay in front of him. No reason for him to ever have 2 assists In a game. KP looked amazing. Melo "washed" with 25/6/5 lol.

This team gon be aight. Big early win for us

at the change of emotion with some of you from the last game through tonight.

This Knicks team makes all of us fans bipolar, we'll all need a psych therapist by the end of the season

 

[throwback1718]

Jennings ain't score much but had some dimes.


I just don't understand how they could weather a storm like that, and gain cohesiveness, then the next game just seem like they never played a day together.

It's been like this with the Knicks for YEARS. I don't get it.

But we have lots of talent. So let's hope the chemistry between Noah and Rose from chi carries over here.

They need to continue to feed the beast we call Porzingis

Like a lot. The man is a walking mismatch.

Rose might not average 25 plus like he once did. But I believe if he didn't have as much scorers as we have, he'd drop 25 ppg.

JOAKIM NOAH!!!

Son....

This dude did EVERYTHING today

If we had Lopez instead this would have been an L

Son was singlehandedly 80% of the heart, activity, and fight in the team. This team would have been stagnant on offense without him.

Our bench is so butt and KOQ needs to step it the F up. Hornacek was forced to play Joakim extended mins because this and son had the highest +/- in the game (usually a tricky stat but this time it was easy to predict before i checked.)

Melo still has to show me more before I get off the the SlanderRover. The expending of energy creating and working for tough shots isn't needed anymore, so let me see you play more D, set more screens, and get more big time rebs. And play within the flow of the offense.

 

[d3si]

 

[flyeed]

Imo our x-factors going forward are Melo and KOQ.

KOQ because our bench is so abysmal and someone's going to need to let Noah rest so he doesn't break down.

Hopefully Hornacek also figures out a better rotation to stagger lineups. Because that 2nd unit lineup is struggle city. Seems we need one of Rose, Melo, or Porzingis in at all times. Or Lee+Noah. It's just tough because it's apparent we need to cut our rotations, but we have a lot of injury prone dudes. Dilemma for the coach.
