Bench! Bench bench bench. If our 6-9 players can occasionally do the thing in basketball where you put the ball in the basket... we stand a chance. If Thibs decides to play Wright, Shamet, and maybe even a little Precious... even better. If neither of these things happen? C's in 5.

I have finely honed Knicks pessimism, forged in the fires of the past 40 years. Give up a 13-0 run early in the 4th to go down 5? I think about turning the game off. The thing is WE HAVE A JALEN BRUNSON ON THE TEAM NOW. I have to recalibrate somehow.

Man oh man. Jalen Brunson.

Must be nice to have someone on the bench who can get a basket.

Relatedly - I blame this on the coach being an idiot! I'm kidding. I blame it on Jalen Brunson playing on a bad ankle and KAT's (reasonable) desire to trail the break for an open 3.

One way to rapidly grow your understanding of the game 👇 If you take an approach of "this thing didn't work, but coach probably had a reason for it. Let me try to figure it out," you'll learn a lot more than when your approach is "coach is an idiot" and call it a day.

It is time to remind brunson that passing is permitted in the game of basketball.

The quotation of the year is in this article: "'Comparisons are the thief of joy,' Hart said." Well cliché is the ankle-breaker of analogy, Josh.

Ok some non-Knicks content: people are getting absolutely murdered on FT box outs during the playoffs and it is, honestly, a little much. JJJ and Jackson just duplexed Caruso. Don't get me wrong, I'd duplex Caruso given a chance. But still.

83 games in and I still do not see JB thinking about how to run an offense.

NYK fans connect with passion in players more than any other attribute. Hitting shots is great. Hitting shots and screaming about it to your mom in the stands is perfection.

The thing I'm realizing about relying on THJ and Tobias Harris to carry your team for 4 whole quarters is that they aren't very good at playing good basketball for 4 whole quarters. Good start for the good guys. LGK.

Fine. Knicks in 6. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

The only satisfying conclusion to ATL v MIA is a loss for both teams.

See my last thread. OG will do well. Tobias Fucking Harris and THJ are going to be the killers.

The playoffs are on the way. It's time for some patented Vacillating Pace predictions. Here we go: Knicks lose to Detroit! Cade gets covered decently by OG, but Tim Hardaway Junior channels the energy of his stupid face father and hits weird shots. Having the PJ on our team this time doesn't help.

KAT plus a PG weak at point of attack = problems for the Knicks. Which in turn means that they should bench Payne and play Wright.

First Knicks game in history with two players getting triple doubles while being watched by Fran Leibowitz.

Since lots of my followers have been asking, I'll weigh in. I absolutely love watching SGA play basketball, and if the Knicks aren't going to win it all, I'm team OKC (or Wolves but let's be real). But Jokic is the MVP.

Taking a QUICK break from Knicks to say fuck Pete Hesgeth. And now back to the Knicks.

I know KAT is a very necessary part of this team. I think the defensive capabilities of a lineup without him on the floor are also a necessary part of this team. The solution: cap KAT at 30 mins.

Love seeing Mitch out there. Love seeing this team defend when opposing team is just the tiniest bit worried about driving to the hoop. OG and Bridges are designed to disrupt kickout passes.
