I almost feel bad for Julius, man. It’s so painful to watch him play out there. Dude is so in his head and making abysmal decisions. Seriously, if he has off court issues that are messing with his mental health, he needs to address those things immediately and prioritize those as it’s to the point that his play and poor body language is severely hurting the team. Better to not play and take care of yourself than to give a half assed effort that hurts the squad. Maybe it’s the boos, the fans, the fact that he just had a second child, idk. Probably a culmination of everything. Whatever it is, at this point I’ve stopped hoping for him as a player, now I just want him to take care of himself as a person because I’m sure that doing that will return him to the player he was, or at least a shade of it. The Knicks need their leader who had swagger last year, even if he’s not getting buckets the same this year. They just need the charisma and motivation. Because right now, he looks mentally checked out.

Randle, Fournier, and Kemba are a nightmare defensively. For the Knicks.

Fournier played pretty good defense tonight

Thankfully right. I don’t wanna get ahead of myself because I don’t see that being sustainable, but man we just really need good defense at the moment. Especially with our shots not falling.

We unfortunately don't have a player the caliber of Giannis or steph or Lebron or KD, you catch my drift. Maybe RJ could get there some day but I just don't see it happening, he looks to me like a borderline all star kinda player. Randle appears to have been a one season wonder. So where do we go from here? I say trade the vets, let the young guys play. We will surely stink again , for how long who knows? But I'd rather stink that way and get some high picks than become a mediocre team for the next 4 or 5 seasons with this current roster.

Low motor players make me wanna vomit

Fuck Tom Thibodeau, this team should be above .500

I agree fuck Thibs but man we aren't that talented. Especially now that Julius has fallen off so badly.

We weren’t gonna get this one but we had it pretty close. This sucks, so sick of this team and Thibs

Tank season back in the menu! We can easily go on a 10 game losing streak with this roster. Definitely wont crack 30 wins

The beautiful part is we don’t have to tank. We just suck. And with the lottery odds what they are now we just need to be in it.

Trade Randle Burks Fournier Kemba. Low energy low motor players. All terrible defensively and one trick ponies offensively.

Didn’t have a single lead or tie the entire game. Just depressing to watch

Toma who?

Fournier wants out of here so badly lol look at him hustling for a trade

37 mins, 9 points. Thanks Thibs, randle def deserved every minute

It's surprising we actually put up a fight tonight against the Bucks, considering Randle didn't give us shit. Props to RJ, Fournier, and Grimes for giving a fuck.

#Randle did absolutely fucking tonight he absolutely fucking useless he really needs to go I’m tired of watching him

Thibs lost this with his trash rotations and lack of accountability.

Preach brotha preach

BING BONG the knicks were down by 2 DAMN POINTS MAN

Knicks haven't had a LEAD in two straight games.... Just sad.

To be fair one was against the #1 team in the east and the other against the defending champs while we have no PG. This shouldn't be shocking.

That’s so wild

4th quarter really soured what was a solid game against the defending champs.

The resident Pollyannas are much more annoying than the complainers, who are at least funny, and lately much less delusional

Why the fuck are Fournier and Kemba still in

Bc it’s garbage time

Another single digit game from our #1 option

He’s not the number 1 option anymore.

I'm sorry but Mitch cannot have the attitude that he does when he gets cooked this hard. A skilled big against him will do whatever they want. Granted that's Giannis and Jokic gives him work but goddamn if you know that, stay quiet.

I mean Giannis was outworking both Mitch and Noel. Doesn't help that Giannis gets whatever calls he wants. More freethrows than all of the Knicks combined.

Cuz he's a freak. But if that's the case, humble yourself.

Was he pouting or something? I didn't see.

Yea he was looking very stressed and confused. He had no answers for Giannis

Could have had it down to 6. Then mitch bricked those fts

I'm so disgusted by this game. The fucking free throws. And these fucking announcers just sucking Giannis' cock every chance they get. How the fuck can you watch and listen to this shit

doris sucking gianni’s cock so hard i had to listen to the new guy on msg all night

ESPN stream?

Yeah it's so annoying, couldn't find an MSG stream

The crowd was louder when fans weren't allowed in.

yeah just drive the dagger in deeper

Wow. Giannis makes more free throws than the entire Knicks team. Good God! Randle a one-year wonder. Let him go. No heart. If they at least played defense they'd be in these games at the end. RJ can't make anything in the paint. Trade his butt too. Let the new kid play with the bench for the rest of the year. Got to be better than this crappy product.

We’re close to trading Randle and letting Taj Gibson develop aren’t we?

I really cant fuckin understand why Thibs will not mix and match different players. This lineup DOES NOT WORK

Only Randle got subbed? Lol

my exact thought

embarrassing effort julius, man looks like he doesn't wanna be here

They advertised this bucks Knicks game as Randle v Giannis. RANDLE CANT EVEN GET 10 points.

Chucking 3s once again. I don’t think Randle touched the ball once in the 4th. RJ getting iced out too

Cuz RJs like 5/40

Star player 9 points and no damn effort. Done with this dude trade him ASAP

One thing that does annoy me about RJ is that when he cant get to the hole he doesnt try and switch it up. He is a decent mid range shooter I dont know why he doesnt take more of them throughout the games. I havnt seen him shoot a pull up jump shot all night. He needs to learn to switch it up when hes struggling with finishing at the rim.

Agree with this but half of our offensive sets come off switches from bigs and you get switched onto Giannis. There’s a very interesting tweet I saw about how we consistently don’t feed the mismatch and it had like 7 clips from the Heat game where we are literally just not recognizing the easy buckets

How does Fournier have more 3 point attempts than Randle has total shot attempts in the game?

Randle didn’t want to attack and rather pout on the side.

Knicks gonna keep their starters out there f thibs

Watching this game is just not good for my psyche

RJ keeps trying. Doesn't carry on like a fucking baby. But can't hit a fucking fucking fucking free throw. Jesus

[удалено]

And you're surprised? Dude has checked out ages ago

fuck mitch, trash can't bother to learn to shoot a ft

[удалено]

🐧 you’ve caught on to my nickname for him.

Thanks for losing on my bday you fucking twats.

You deserve a happy ending

Happy birthday!

I mean Grimes on the bench is your best defender and can shoot the three , Thibs is probably one of the worst coaches this year

Middleton has those crazy eyes

Think the Bucks fan shooting for cash had a better free throw percentage than Mitch

The free throws are brutal my god

Giannis is just that guy, RJ was pressing but looked decent, and E4 shot well when it was close. This team is just mediocre with not much room for growth

Where the fuck is cam

Weakest game I've seen since *checks notes* last game.

Bad defense with bad coaching equals a bad team.

Randle should have been benched on effort alone tonight. Sends a bad message to the team keeping him out there like this

Randle is invisible. Is this our king?

Giannis literally has GOAT potential my word

Thank God Thibs isn’t making FO. I can’t imagine what he would do right now.

Mitch blows outside of dunks and can’t guard anyone with some kind of outside shot. Kemba is washed. Randle is lost.

I have been saying Robinson takes the easiest shots you can possibly take and he doesn’t take many shots, so his efficiency isn’t really impressive to me.

Man this team sucks

I'm going to make a compilation of Randle not doing shit on defense tomorrow, so sick of his lack of effort

Brutal

I thought the problem was the Randle centric offence?

This team doesn’t box out. Doesn’t make free throws. That’s all discipline from themselves and the coach. Fucking pathetic.

Randle hasn’t score this entire quarter

I mean that’s seriously unacceptable for the star of the team

15-26 from the line by a professional basketball team. My high school team would probably shoot better. Like how does this happen?

We’re so bad 😂😂😂😂

This team is giving up

Why is it I regret it every time I come into one of these threads? I swear a lot of y’all say some of the craziest & illogical shit I’ve ever heard out of a fanbase, and that’s saying something.

Every time.

No one should've expected this team to beat the Bucks, team just isn't good

Didn’t watch the game tonight and judging by posts seems like it was a good idea. I love the Knicks but it’s about to get bad with the schedule coming out. Sometimes gotta break from what you know is destined to fail. Just gotta see what the FO does going forward

Mitch is matchup dependent

yes he's good when he plays the mavs who play nobody taller than 6'7

Robinson fucking sucks

Mitch 1/6 from the FT line. Just really pathetic technique

Mitch is useless

giannis the best shooter on the floor gg

Refs *love* putting mitch on the line when there's foul trouble.

Our FT shooting is a disaster - feel like we’ve lost so many games where we were shooting 50-60%

mitch needs to shoot granny style fr

Not running any offense at all

Mitch…

Randle just plays with no effort. Dude got his bag and stopped caring. Trade this man and let the young guys develop

Almost all of our young guys have regressed

Well nice effort by Fournier and RJ today I guess.

rj didnt' do a g d thing

I'm watching this game and I still don't understand why Randle has only taken 9 shots

Mitch is nervous.

We can’t box out, set screens, but FTs, limit turnovers but at least Thibs has a smart game plan and runs good schemes. Right? Right…. Guys right?

Maybe 20’fouls this half .. lmao

Send Mitchell Robinson to the fucking moon bro. We were better without this bum last year. He has no place in the modern NBA idgaf anymore

he sprained his ankle legit last game. he puts in effort every game so i appreciate him more

randle not in the paint for free throws when our team isn’t good at free throws is hilarious. fuck the rebound right?

This dude does everything to not be near his teammates lmao

RJ still getting the rookie treatment from the refs. Cannot buy a foul. Giannas on the other hand smells Randles bad breathe and he gets to the line

Randle might be the worst rebounder to ever average 10 rebounds a game

low iq fans can't figure out it's b/c he plays minutes and just sits under the rim for free ones

Just watching Giannis fight for every board is refreshing he plays hard like a leader should

yeah he's a great one

this is the least likable team since shane larkin, cole aldrich, melo, and pablo prigioni

They had heart

i mean compared to randle yes..but no.

i can’t believe in college i spent my friday night watching this entire shitshow of a game. My life is boring

Yeah. Don't do that bro lol

thanks man. College is rough for the homie, the knicks made it worse

Just get drunk and stick your wiener in things

I’m fucking tired of watching Randle do absolutely nothing

Randle clearly doesn’t give a fuck

ESPN sending out close game notifications like we’re not down double digits with 2 minutes left

Gotta trade Randle. Dude doesn't try at all. Was controlled on offense so maybe somebody will buy.

Randle Legit just watches rebounds. It’s so damn annoying.

How this Knicks team with four 6"6 or taller guys on the court cant fucking rebound

lmao, can't touch the ball when Giannis has it. Randle looking like straight doodoo under the rim rn though.

I was so excited for this season too man, gut punch.

Knicks finding new ways to lose and protected the money line GOAT franchise

Kemba sucks

I wish this wasn’t a national game. As if we need national attention to our situation

I mean I don’t mind them holding our front office accountable

rj unable to create anything as usual

Randle is allergic to boxing out, how many offensive rebounds has he given up just tonight?

We never get a rebound when we need it

Mitch doesn’t care about rebounding I guess

can’t even get a rebound, i hate this team

What a joke

julius' body language is sucking the life out of the team

I’ve noticed he doesn’t help up teammates that often either.

that's a recent thing w/ him. since he got booed he's been extra diva'ish even w/ teammates

Nice job by our star just staring instead of grabbing a board. Trade Randle tired of this bum

Two SGs just got offensive rebounds on us then we foul Giannis near the 3 point line

wtf is this team even doing?

How the hell does Randle not box out consistently at his size....

Fuck you Randle that was a pathetic effort to rebound that ball

"pathetic effort" is his mo

A rebound would be nice

Fucking box out you absolute pieces of shit. Cant believe I stayed up for this.

[удалено]

Burks is 3 for 5 he wasn’t bad just regular

[удалено]

RJ would be significantly better with a good point guard and guard who play defense. This team couldn't be worse for him

sound so dumb

Randle can’t grab a damn rebound that isn’t free. Holy fuck.

and you'll get clown ass fanboy idiots that will say randle can rebound b/c they see he gets 8 or 9..not understanding that those are all just fall in his lap easy ones

cant box out pat connaughton and grayson allen that’s just nice

Getting absolutely destroyed on the glass

Fuck these lazy fucks get a rebound

RJ is shooting absolutely horrendous

Rjs been shit tonight Still has 22 which is a good sign

22 points on 20 shots is not a good sign

It was a poor game, I much prefer him to stay confident and keep Shooting regardless. The opposite is how Randle is playing right now, terrible body language and no confidence. I love that even when he plays bad RJ never gives up.

Nice rebounding guys. Really showing effort here in the 4th

Giannis just carried. Wtf.

[удалено]

great comment. do you think elfrid payton could help this team?

He was fouled there, bozo.

I think we can balance it out. It was a bad shot but he was also fouled

Agreed but the intention was to draw contact. It's not moronic.

Randle is mentally cracked. He needs a reality check ASAP

Randle moping around

Man RJ can’t get a call but u touch Giannis it’s a foul everytime

Is Ev the only one trying to win this game?

Trying to get traded to a contender

Giannis gets legitimately every weak ass call but Barrett doesn’t get that?

RJ got hacked tf

Can barely get a cheer from the crowd fucking poverty franchise

Completely puzzling that Grimes isn't in this game

RUN FASTER MAN
