Wow...nice to see Marbury in the building

 

[gaiiige]

we might be cooked

 

[Coupé It]

Based on this. **** the coaching staff for rushing players back. This is why forever #****thibs

So Julius was playing contact ball 5 WEEKS AGO.

In FEBRUARY.

Wow.

 

[Coupé It]

Teams deflated.

 

[pr0phecy718]

That pass by Hartenstein

 

[airmax1fanatic]

welp, just when you get your hopes up, randle ends the season

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I ****ing hate when we cut it to 3 and then hand over the game. Great teams get stops and close the gap.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Ayyy love TNT playing the "banned from TV" instrumental

 

[onewearz]

i remember when it was easy to get Knicks tickets at work. now all the "diehards" are back out

playoff Brunson looks ready to go. i like our chances still without Julius, as long as OG comes back ...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Man this can be a great ****ing team when it’s clicking.

 

[d3si]

Josh Hart

Legoooo

 

[pr0phecy718]

Glad we won this one

Just stay out of the play in

The less games the better

 

[keko jones]

Based on the box score, it appears that Thibs is finally pulling his starting players out, even if it's just for the last minute of the game. SMH, what a coach!

 

[pr0phecy718]

Soooo who felt that earthquake?

 

[Coupé It]

Soooo who felt that earthquake?

Nuts

Inflation and earthquakes, what a time...

 

[biggie62]

I was a bit scared. Dogs started freaking out too

 

[Mister Meaner]

Maybe it’s the weed or the residual high from the win but dare I say this team’s chances of winning don’t rest on Randle’s shoulders at all anymore. Between Brunson, OG and the coach making the adjustments around them, they’ve got the talent/depth to beat anyone.

How lame is it to still be carrying that torch to remove the one constant that’s done nothing but elevate the franchise? Or how lamer is it to try a and conceive a false narrative that heavy minutes led to the unfortunate injury to Randle? Love to cry about heavy minutes but also love to cry when the losing starts.

Love to cry.

[ballinsam23]

Just give him the same contract as Mitch

 

[ballinsam23]

Who do we matchup better against? Pacers or Magic

 

[nick.]

OG byke tonight?

 

[paulminus]

We are likely NOT making the ECF if we do NOT finish 2nd, 3rd, or 6th.

4th & 5th place means we play Boston in second round which is an L without Randle.

We need to finish 2nd, 3rd, or 6th. We have a shot at 3rd or 6th, but i think we'll end up 4/5th

EDIT:
Actually, I take it back , I think we get the 3rd spot
Orlando has 6 games left and play --- HOU , Bucks 2x , Philly, CHI
Cavs Play Lakers, Clippers, & Pacers in their next 5 games

 

[paulminus]

What happens if Randle had the surgery right after?
Would there have been a chance he'd be close to ready by now?
