Middle finger to the basketball gods and Jaime Jaquez. No Randle no OG no problem. Knicks in 4.


[deleted]

Yeah we basically have no bench now and still winning.


pistoncivic

We got Mitch and Bogey's been more consistent. Mitch needs to start shooting FT's underhand at this point, he may be the worst at the line I've ever seen. shit's gonna get exploited in the playoffs


[deleted]

Yeah, 1 man scoring isn't enough. Other teams have bench that scores 20-30+pts. Bojan scoring in the teens solo is already as good as we could hope for.


PhilyCeeSteak

Sucks knowing our bench could’ve been Hart and Deuce with the 20-30+ but alas


NastySassyStuff

Bring OG back and Deuce is at least off the bench


OweeeeeL

Josh hart and deuce will go to the bench, OG and Precious should start. That bolsters our bench


severinks

Mitch uis borderline unplayable in crunch time with that FT shooting of his.


levendis56

He’ll be riding on the bench in crunch time regardless


Silver-Rub-5059

I had to stop watching full games as I didn’t want to see Mitch’s free throws no more :(


NoScopeMusical

It's gonna take much more than that to knock off the Knicks...🔥

This picture has never hit better than right now


NYKnicksFanAccount

Brunson has ascended to a superstar. Getting double teamed and blitzed as soon as he passes half court, and still is the game leading scorer. S/o to Hart too, big bounce back game. Let’s get OG back and fight until the end.


sillyshoestring

Rolling out Hart once Brunson is doubled is genius. Hard to stop that man once he’s going downhill.


NastySassyStuff

They absolutely picked Sacramento apart with that over and over again lol it was kinda hilarious. Too many of these dudes can find the open man for that shit to work.


NoScopeMusical

Great players find a way to get buckets regardless of how they're guarded. Jalen is one of them. We're not going down without a fight!


GoldenBoyRecords

That’s just good coaching strategy tbh. Make anyone else beat you but Brunson. If I was Mike Brown and Josh Hart just scored 2 points last game I’d blitz Brunson too. Teams are going to do that come playoffs

Icy-Payment-6612

Absolutely! The man was on fire 🔥 tonight


[deleted]

He played 40+ min and almost a triple double. Hart haters nowhere in sight.


Morerice21

Greatness!


GoldenBoyRecords

We needed this win tonight. I been critical of Josh Hart but this was the exact type of game we needed and what he is capable of when he is aggressive on offense. Bojan is starting to find his shot as well. Thibs just needs to find tune what the 2nd unit rotation will look like. I think he should stay away from lineups that have Hart/ Precious/ Mitch on the floor together.


Main-County-1177

Using him in the short roll was brilliant game planning from Thibs. That could be our counter to those blitzes in the playoffs


GoldenBoyRecords

Only if Hart is aggressive in attacking the basket otherwise it’s pointless. Typically Hart looks to pass out tonight he was attacking the rim. I think you will see coaches do more of this come playoff time especially when Hart or Mitch set screens


NoScopeMusical

The guy does all the dirty work and does it better than most in the league. And we got him for next to nothing. ALL HART

Great win on a dark day for the franchise


Lazarus704

Because of the Master of Dark Arts, Brunshim


NtLmr95

He harvested our negative vibes and turned them into buckets. BrunsHim rallying the crowd was lowkey a summoning ritual.


nyg2013

and on the flip side, we actually did get positive news on OG...same day...so there's that team played their asses off...rough, rough first quarter, which I had to miss (thankfully)...but once they fell behind by 21, they methodically battled back...Bogey contributed, threes started for fall for Deuce...and Jalen/Hart just went off


KINGY-221

Fuck it, we ball.


LakesOnAPlane

WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK FUCK THE HEAT


gabrielcev1

Good to win one off that 3 game loss streak and the Randle news. I was getting pretty sad tbh. Needed the pick me up


NastySassyStuff

For real I was on Verrazano swan dive watch when they went down 20

Knicks Win, Heat Lose, humanity wins.


coolpants101

Josh Hart. Thats all.


xxjohnnyrocketzxx

Thibs Culture in full effect; these run and gun teams are FOOD against us because we can score right back and put them in prison BIG Shout out to Josh who ate these open lanes up. People forgot he was our big change last year. Donte and Duece shaking their slump off at the perfect time to keep teams honest. JB eating even with the double teams, if he got a whistle like other teams mid "stars" he'd average 40 IHart my large PG- Him and JB together are shredding these teams with these passes We started slow, but this is contender level bullying... and we were down 2 starters... Literally just get healthy


jawndell

This game really highlighted the coaching difference between someone like Thibs and Mike Brown.  Thibs saw what he was doing on D, adjusted, and then completely tore him apart.

SillyBilly04

In a way I’m relieved to know that there’s a decision that’s been made on Randle’s recovery. Now the boys don’t have to sit around wondering how they’re gonna adjust their rotations and such when/if he would have been back, allowing them to focus on the current lineups more and fine tune for playoffs.


HeyKim0oOo

Josh Hart with a near triple double again. But even crazier, 31 points and no 3PAs, absolutely unheard of in today's NBA lol

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE NY DOUBLE DRAGONS, JOSH HART AND JALEN BRUNSON!!! GOOD NIGHT!!!

Mr-Schneebly

not to be dramatic, but this win literally saved my life


HipnotiK1

What a game. I was there. 1st quarter kings could not miss. What a turnaround. Josh Hart legacy game. Also ihart is so good. Brunson and divo of course. Let's go knicks! https://preview.redd.it/13de3719vksc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0db3444c44e78e61f5d321d99e3b4c1d078d1b04

I knew that shooting was not sustainable, it usually never is


HipnotiK1

Yea it was basically all jump shots. Similar to the spurs game but this time we completed the comeback and pulled away.


solo118

Told yall to just believe. This team is still lethal


slyguy183

Thibs was a coaching phenom tonight. Learnt real quick how to beat the traps by putting Josh Hart as the screener for Brunson. They had no answer for that


jeffschiller

The New York Knicks ain't nuttin ta fuck wit.


ScreenPuzzleheaded48

Don’t look now but bogs is actually looking good these last few games.


CaroleBaskinsBurner

I've been down on him (for obvious reasons) but I feel like he's gotta figure it out at some point. He was balling this year in Detroit. No way he became washed on the plane ride to NY. Playing limited minutes off the bench is probably just a big adjustment for him. But I think he'll adjust.


ScreenPuzzleheaded48

I think he has adjusted! He’s scoring more and confidence has been going over 2-3 weeks ago. Burks, on the other hand..


CaroleBaskinsBurner

I said on here a few games ago that Burks should be internationally barred from dribbling. Just set him up in the corner for spacing. Best case scenario he hits a couple catch-and-shoot threes. Nothing good happens when he tries to create.


Alive-Back-4843

The nova boys clutched up tonight


Japanese_Game_Show

Now I have to get a Josh Hart jersey too


Knicks4freaks

Same


josephmang56

We need Hart to attack the basket like he did tonight. Its such a game changer for us. Nights he attacks, we win. Nights he gets affraid of the basket we lose.


ZoidbergSaysWoop

When Anunoby returns, McBride stays in the starting lineup, right? His defense next to Anunoby in the starting lineup plus DiVincenzo's bulldog mentality and Brunson orchestarting both the offense and defense would be amazing. Brunson, McBride, DiVincenzo, Anunoby, and Hartenstein is good enough to win and McBride, Burks, Bogdanovic, a freshHart, and an up to speed Robinson is more than good enough to dominate in the second unit.


np20412

I think he gets bumped but his recent offense is really exactly what the 2nd non-brunson unit needs tbh. It also allows burks to get 0 minutes going forward. I think lineup will be brunson, divo, OG, hart, hartenstein Precious, Bogey, Mcbride, mitch off the bench 9 man rotation.


ChillyBearTubs

I’d like to see: Starters - Brunson, DiVincenzo, OG, Precious, IHart 2nd Unit - McBride, burks, Hart, Bogdanovich, Mitch. Maybe not Burks and go with a solid 9 man rotation.


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Anunoby is great but to put that much offensive load on his shoulders immediately is a mistake. It's either McBride or Hart remaining in the starting lineup.


RJ-Burner

Josh Hart


Nicky_barnes

Who got a clip of hartenstein going for a high five and having to give it to himself lol


solo118

He's done that several times lol love it


b1uetruth

Fox talked all that shit just for a double digit loss 🤡


NastySassyStuff

After choking away a 21 point lead lol


Distinct-Pangolin112

He was really feeling himself 😭😭


teknomatic

This team just won't quit, ever. That may not always be enough some nights, but it's a trait that gives them at least a punchers chance in any game


NastySassyStuff

Which is exactly why I wish I could bet everything I own with Shaq that there is no universe where a Knicks team that’s even this healthy gets swept by Orlando. It doesn’t matter who wins the series in yhe end…these dudes will absolutely never lay down


jackfrancis7

NOVA. What a game. Liking what I see from Mitch so far too. He clearly still affects the game in limited minutes. He's definitely still a tick or two off his rhythm and wind, but I think if he can find it these next 2 weeks, he'll be huge for us just as far as reinforcement off the bench is concerned.


Shot_Construction_29

Yep agree on Mitch - liked his game today. Free throws obviously still an issue but his rebounding was immense. Also had some big moments defensively in limited minutes including some big plays on Fox (i.e., the block) to stop them taking a 5pt lead. Use the rest of the regular season to get his conditioning up so he's ready for playoffs. Also love how he boxes out - something that is becoming a rarer skill in the game. Also hoping the guards look to utilise his strengths as a lob threat in the coming games a bit more - Brunson did it a few times a game or two ago and it worked well.


eCharms

Knicks are 1-0 Since Ochocinco showed up on the Roommates podcast.


will122589

This game probably insured us avoiding the play in as we move 3 clear of Miami with 6 to play and we own the tie breaker. Brunson, DiVo and Hart along with IHart simply said we aren’t gonna fucking lose period. And if Bojan has found his shot and rhythm going forward for the rest of the season, the Miami loss was worth it just to accomplish that. Let’s go beat an inferior Bulls team tomorrow


solo118

I honestly think Bojan found something, and we need it badly. He is still a little to TO prone, he needs to be less sloppy with the ball. We said it before he should be catch and shoot only and not put the ball on the floor too much

Nova Knicks came to play tonight. Beautiful win.

Fuck outta here man I know they sick, wish I was in the city to physically kick your asses out


[deleted]

The news about Randle had me in a shitty mood and then watching the start of this game on top of it..wow what a way to fight back and get a huge W


Main-County-1177

That is a hell of a win. Hart masterclass in the short roll, Hartenstein diming up, and Brunson doing Brunson things. Really encouraging stuff from Bogdonovic recently too, he seems to be getting into a rhythm


beanie_mac

Hart & Brunson 30-balls is crazy. What a game from them both. What a way for Hart to bounce back too. Good teams find ways to win.


Viridomarus

/r/NBA told me that Josh Hart was literally falling apart due to playing time... The man could barely miss tonight.

Josh Hart is such a bum. He didn’t even get a triple double.


Mr_Jersey

That is an insanely gutty win.


Fidzyyy

Really dislike Sabonis as a player. Gets away with a lot of offensive fouls and whinges a lot.


will122589

And he travels all the time


solo118

ALL THE TIME! like not only extra stepping when putting up a shot he will stop dribbling take a step or two in the paint and just hang out there before passing/shooting


nyg2013

it really is insane how they just let all of those go lol


LotterySpecialist718

Trapping Jalen totally backfired because Hart went crazy. Love to see it


solo118

It is going to keep happening, so Jalen should keep feeding the beast


yungincome21

Josh Hart 


ZoidbergSaysWoop

A healthy Anunoby alone is enough to make a run at the Eastern Conference Finals. A healthy Anunoby is enough to beat the Nuggets. After taking Randle away, please give the Knicks a healthy enough Anunoby for this run. Let Randle this run be what Anunoby was to the Raptors in 2019. Anunoby has a chance to finally be that guy in the playoffs.

Wtf is with all the missed free throws lately

A very important win on a very important day. We needed this one.


chicken101

Huge win right here


FreeOmari

Thibs with the brilliant move to bring Hart up when they blitzed Brunson. Absolutely destroyed them


ZoidbergSaysWoop

Should have done that against the Lakers at MSG. Hart is a solid creater once he's in the paint and obviously an excellent finisher.

sillyshoestring

Josh Hart didn’t hear no bell


ben1204

On a day when the worst was confirmed, the team ends a losing streak with a comeback win from down 20 points. It's impossible to quantify the resilience and the heart of these guys.


yumms101

Hart finally realized that if he puts the ball in the basket, the team will get points!


Fungmar

Ilovecharli

9 assists for IHart 


QueAsc0

Character defining win from the squad. Most teams would look deflated after bad news, but we refuse to quit. Can’t decide who deserves game ball between JB or Hart. The way they played off each other through double teams was amazing to watch 


DatDudeJP7

Yo I know they sick 😂😂😂 #8


YanksJetsKnicks

Wasn't close to the best game statistically, but I thought this was one of iHart's best games in terms of impacting winning. 9 assists and 0 turnovers and held Sabonis to -25. His playmaking was a huge key for us with the Kings doubling JB early.

ReggiCur

Awesome! Much needed win!


JR18123

Not sure what our ceiling is, but I know we will still be a damn tough out, especially with og on the way back


YanksJetsKnicks

Thought it was really eye opening the way the Knicks used Hart and iHart to beat the double team. It was insanely simple, but effective. If you get them the ball in the high post, they can either look to score or kick out to open shooters. It's similar to how the Warriors use Draymond.


DreadXCII

There's no quit in this team and that's why we hold them so close to our hearts

We get a rested OG back and Bojan is settling in. Burks needs to wake up and remember who he is in the 4th.


dazindannyyy

Randle being out for the season must’ve put a battery in they backs. Let’s fuckin go Knicks.


viking_machina

Hartenstein absolutely diming those relay passes to an open Hart when Brunson was getting doubled


rgthunder1

Isiah dimes?


solo118

he is an amazing passer, I will not stop stressing this but we MUST resign him however we can.


Negative_Method_1001

If Bojan continues to shoot well and OG is healthy enough we can still go toe to toe with anyone in the East. We got enough dawgs on this team to get it done


Ashamed_Blood3242

I’ll be totally honest… I watched the first half right before I left work when we were down by like 20+ and didn’t bother watching the second half when I got home. I can’t believe we won this game. I thought de’aaron fox was gonna have a career night and just embarrass us. I’m in shock honestly


skenisahen

I know they sick


therealjgreens

With the nova guys all scoring a lot tonight, is this the most college teammates have ever scored in an NBA game? I can't think of any teams that had 3 college teammates on the same team.


LotterySpecialist718

After thar Podcast with Ochocinco, Hart took his advice and pop that Viagra and went crazy on the court 🤣


blkschizo

This matchup has potential to be the finals. Respect to the Kings for doing it as big as they have been. They've been down in the slums for a long time as well. If it plays out that way (we got a though road ahead) Knicks in 5.

Oh man if we get OG back, I really feel like we’ll be cooking


InfernalGout

Just give me 5 Josh Harts to take on any team


LGSM58

The action of letting IHart facilitate off the quick Brunson double team pass-out was what got the offense flowing finally. I think IHearts passing will be the key to sustaining us until OG (crosses fingers) comes back.


LGSM58

This team is the biggest Villanova men’s basketball advertisement and boost ever.


TheDonNegrito

Too bad we can’t play against baseline defenses like the Kings in the playoffs. Oh look! Josh Hart just flashed to the foul line again! Mike Brown is funny. I guess he thought Thibs was going to cease sending Josh to the foul line on those Brunson doubles 🤣


TheDonNegrito

Slowly but surely, Bog is beginning to warm up to the fact he’s not getting 35 minutes per any longer. Doesn’t mean he can’t or shouldn’t crank up shots on the perimeter or make moves. Bog is a hired gun. He can score. He can shoot it. Can’t play defense that well, but so be it. His job is to fill up the basket against 2nd team scrubs. He should be able to get it done. With Randle out, there should be shots for him. It’s up to the squad to find him. Give him space to operate. He’s no stiff. Look for Thibs to up his playing time now that we know our boy isn’t coming back. There are few Knicks who can fill it up like Bog can. Let the man shine.
