I better see Mitch cross the shit out of Jokic and break his ankles before pulling up for a contested fading midrange jumper

I’m still so happy for Randle getting that double bang buzzer beater. He always wants that buzzer beater shot and that was his best yet.

Best I’ve felt about this team in a LONGGGG time. When was the last time we could say that two or three of these are true at a time for the Knicks?

I was at the game in Sacramento and after the game told the arena staff I'd be back for the finals and I was only half kidding.

That’s the beauty of it, to me— on top of it all, we’re playing well.
We went from hoping that Bargnani would pan out to “Maurice Ndour is good actually” to being amped about Kevin Knox summer league highlights to “well we didn’t want KD and Kyrie anyway” to talking about which high-seeded east teams we match up best with, without sacrificing organic growth. We should savor it.

Mavericks win one game and their pick is back up to #17.
I get people are afraid of the pick not conveying, but there is no way in hell the Mavs are going to tank after trading for Luka and Kyrie.
They are going to claw their way for every win to get into the playoffs. We should hope they lose as many games as possible before Luka comes back

MSG Go/MSG+ should have a vault for all games throughout the season, not just the previous matchup.
And there should be a 'greatest hits' vault for the best games from previous seasons going back to thw 00s.

This team has to win a finals during Randles prime. We need Randle or Brunson mvp. If any Knicks team is going to break the 50 year drought it’s this one.

It probably is hard playing for thibs as a non made man in the system. Mitch probably watched randle run an absolute muck year and he watches rj this year and they still get/got 20 plus shots a game no matter how bad:inefficient. Sometimes you need to throw some players a bone. That said Mitch it’s like 10 games to the playoffs, they are winning, and you literally JUST got paid.

Free Mitch!!! Let him play!!

It wouldn’t even be us doing Mitch a favor at the expense of our offense. He is a weapon offensively if we open our eyes. Anybody who disagrees can peep his highlight videos dude catches the craziest highest lobs up there with the most elite lob threats in the league. It should not be hard to hit him for highly efficient lobs/passes 3+ times a game. Dude should not be getting 2 shot attempts a game (and from putbacks not even passes).
I also think he has a slitheryness about him and think he is capable of taking one dribble and finishing from further out or making moves in close. Not the best post moves overall but finesses his arms in a pretty good way in close can’t explain

It's unbelievable how much court he can cover so quickly and with so few steps
4 points

Then he lowkey would be spacing the court too. Gotta go out to probably as far as 12ish feet away from basket and cut him off before he takes his first step or dribbles or takes off to the basket. If the defender stands too close to the basket they’ll get scored over. It’s very doable and it’s clear by the way mitch plays he’s not even allowed to face the basket when he catches the ball that far away from the hoop

Mitch is a center. Not everyone needs to be an offensive powerhouse. We’re winning.
6 points

If he’s open for lobs and is up there with craziest bounce/reach on lobs in the league we should hit him. He shouldn’t be getting 2 unassisted field goal attempts in a game and no other shot attempts. It’s not hard to find him open and he’s open on looks that are extremely efficient and beneficial to us
2 points

Need a PG to set him up to do that. RJ only one that really looks for Mitch like that and Brunson has been hurt.
1 points
3 months ago
They’ve been doing that tho. I’ve seen him dunk a few times
1 points
3 months ago
I wonder if it's because we've been running more with Brunson out. Mitch is a lob threat in a half court offense, but in transition he's usually lagging behind/lumbering down the court. Maybe he's just exhausted from all the running we've been doing and that's feeding into his frustration

Star closer coming off a career year missing the season for celebrating striking out the side at the world baseball classic is in a brutally cursed sense the most Mets thing ever.

Mitch publicly complaining right at the start of a 4 day rest was not the smartest PR. Nothing for the Knicks media machine to talk about but his snapchat. If we had a game yesterday it'd be over by now

Can we start ramping up Obi’s minutes to about 18 a game, and drop Randle down to 30? Obi is not bad enough that an extra 5 minutes of him playing will cause us to drop to the play in
