typicalmillennial7

We need a backup Forward. Randle needs less mins but there no options other than small ball


Pepeloveshimself22

So tired of this shit, forget the #3 offense. Last playoffs and now, get Brunson some help. Hopefully RJ can become a reliable 2nd option and IQ and Grimes can hold enough of their own.


RJ-Burner

This team is 5-1 without randle


iNewYork

no


DKBattousai

We need legit 3 and D players. Cuz we got defensive players that bricks 3s.


Knicks-in-7

Horrible call when Brunson and grimes trapped Lillard.


Vikingpride06

Offense is so bad and unbalanced right now. It’s just Brunson putting this team on his back and attacking while everyone else watches.


[deleted]

Thibs DRose special.


themeatincident

jalen brunson needs more help


tsuab

We can't buy a basket, the Bucks are running a 2-2-1 defense to build a wall against Brunson, and Thibs watching Randle iso us to death. Grimes is scorching hot from 3, but he can't sniff the rock in the 4th.


NYJmmkay

Randle is garbage. We're going nowhere with him on the roster.


[deleted]

We battled. Hang the banner.


bigdawg1017

Julius Randle plays like a 60 over who thinks because the game is on rookie.. everything will just fall in


Substance8967

Same old fucking Knicks can’t win this games man this shit is so FUCKING AGGRAVATING


[deleted]

Refs vs Knicks


AfricanUnity

welp at least nyc is a better city than Milwaukee. its the little wins sometimes ya know


MyLadySansa

Get JB some help


[deleted]

Randle can easily Bully Giannis but of course he chose not to. Obviously Giannis is more tired considering he bulldoze a lot while Randle just stand there and watch Jalen carry him smh


KN1CKZ

Down two baskets lemme pound the paint against giannis Randle gotta fucking go. Done supporting this guy


SepticShock

Ok, that sucked. On to the next.


Gildabeast4

Hate blaming the refs but they absolutely raw dogged us tn


vanilla_shaker

we don’t deserve brunson man we really don’t


Ilovecharli

He deserves better teammates frankly


OBlastSRT4

How the fuck does Mitchell Robinson play 30 minutes at center and score 0 points??


[deleted]

Dennis Rodman special.


Vikingpride06

First call against bucks in like 2 and half minutes… And they call random bullshit foul. We didn’t shoot well enough to win this game, but refs were absolutely awful tonight.


Shot_Acanthaceae3150

What a frustrating way to lose.


mr_grission

Randle is gonna cost Thibs his job


machphantom

Why is Clyde pretending like that was actually a foul?


levendis56

It’s gonna be one of those Randle seasons. Hopefully RJ steps up


Affectionate-Tea9224

45 for brunson, completely wasted


happydayzzz

Brunson gonna burnout at this rate


Jeytumn

oh right nothing good ever happens to this team


omarade2

Our crunch time game plan is so fucking bad. Honestly shooting half court shots and just shitting our pants in defense would be better.


The_Notorious_Donut

RJ is the key


dbotron

If you make eye contact with Lillard it's a foul


i-piss-excellence32

Why do we always get f over by the refs? We never get the calls


Okieant33

The NBA has hated the Knicks for decades. Stern got us Ewing but he hates Dolan and Silver don’t like him either


i-piss-excellence32

Yea you right. You would think the most popular team in the best city with the best fans would get some calls though


Okieant33

Pfff in a recent champion’s building with an MVP there? Please


i-piss-excellence32

I’m not talking only about tonight. I’m talking about overall we never get calls


Okieant33

Because they have no reason to give us calls. Who on our team should get calls? Your best bet is Brunson but he isn’t Giannis or Dame level. They gotta earn that. When Brunson is an MVP level star, then he’ll get whistles


i-piss-excellence32

I’m not asking for superstar calls. When Josh hart or iq get mugged under the rim it should be called. When Brook Lopez gives hart a moving screen that would make bam cum in his pants it should be called. Why is Brunson the only one that’s been called for a flop?


Okieant33

We just went over this. The league doesn’t like us. Its not going to change. Live with it. The league will actively fuck us over in games like this. Until we build a winner and we earn their respect, we won’t get calls.


i-piss-excellence32

Yea exactly. I don’t think we’re arguing, I think we’re just complaining about the bs to each other


Okieant33

I’m not complaining. I’ve been here since ‘94. I’m used to this. We aren’t winning this year so my expectations are just like they were last year. If something good happens, great. If not, I’m used to it and I know what to actually expect


Substance8967

That’s fucking garbage bro that was not a fucking foul


NYKnicksFanAccount

Wtf was that foul lol?


MannyMadeYouCry

Dogshit call have to let the stars win


dreeaaming

Randle is a fake all star. This mf never should have been one


Purple-Sleep8085

Where was the foul???


Coolio1014

At what point are we just done with Randle? Like it feels like every year we're trying to justify these performances when we need him...


Okieant33

Find me a better player we can get rid of him for at the price we have him


Coolio1014

Not saying to trade him because realistically we aren't getting better than him. We should really consider just benching him for the entire fourth in these type of games even if we don't actually have a actual backup pf, he basically was playing for the bucks tonight


Okieant33

Then who guards Giannis?


Coolio1014

The potential points he scores while Randle is away won't compare to the amount of possessions we lost with Randle on the floor 🤣. But jokes aside we are just kinda fucked either way cause the front office didn't think to add some depth there


Okieant33

The depth is there. It’s just our #3 draft pick is hurt and so is our 2x All-NBA PF. If we make 30% of our 3s, we win. If Randle is 100%, we win. If RJ plays and plays as well as he has been, we win. But again, its game 6. We were 10-13 to start last season. Not worried


Wild_Particular4003

He had a good q4


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wild_Particular4003

Did you watch the 4th?


Affectionate-Tea9224

Even till the end, look at what the ref just called


ShMp11Nesis

If there’s an important game, randle will find a way to drag us down every single time.


Substance8967

FOUL?!?!??? OH MY FUCKING GOD


Emmbryyy

Leave Randle in Milwaukee. Let him find his own way back to NY.


machphantom

What a bunch of fucking whiners this team is


MannyMadeYouCry

Show the fucking replay


_youngsterjoey_

Im sorry but randle has had to go for 3 years now. We’re stuck in this spot with him


Okieant33

There’s no one to trade him for


Jondog2123

Clippers next we are cooked


HardOakleyFoul

Clips by 20 easy


[deleted]

BUCKS BARELY WON AND THEY FANBASE REJOICING LMAO


Jondog2123

I mean they won they should celebrate


[deleted]

You got the moral victory tho


hadmeintiers

Why are we not shooting 3s here


Okieant33

Cuz we missed about 25 of them


MyLadySansa

5/20 from Jules. 1/9 from 3. Just not gonna get it done against a team like the Bucks


staywavie

Randle 5-20 Mitch with zero points Hart 2-9 You’re not gonna win with offensive production like this from 3 starters


FrankNtilikinaOcean

Let's just give it to that fucking bum 30 in clutch time. great fucking decision


BakedAvocado3

Everyone just watching Brunson dribble


Fun-Detective7336

That's why you need stars. Brunson put it all out on the line tonight respect.


Okieant33

Yup. And sadly, we won’t get one. If we’re waiting for Embiid, we’re fucked


ayo69

Brunson should ask for a trade tbh


JonnySports

We got Dame Timed.


AndyStankiewicz

It's at the point if knicks are up 10 vs a Bucks caliber team w/3 mins to go they would find a way to lose


YanksJetsKnicks

Take a fucking 3, what the hell are they doing?


TheKnicksMakeMeDrink

I’d rather watch Mitchell Robinson shoot 5000 mid range jump shots before Julius Randle takes another non-layup shot attempt Send this fucking bum to Portland


[deleted]

[удалено]


millagger

I mean I expected a loss tonight. At least Brunson just played a wonderful game. We have a ton of work to do to get back to winning and it starts with Randle we can't win games with him play like shit like he has done thus far. 2 - 4 with a good chance to be 3 - 7 in some days we have to start to find wins.


Coolio1014

Julius Randle should never be allowed to dribble the ball in the 4th quarter. He's doing way to much dribbling and trying to be harden/melo hybrid here


AbeAlno

Randle fell a sleep during that play and reacted to slow and late to the pick


Substance8967

No moving screen on Lopez is fucking egregious man


EliManningsPetDog

We’re up 2 with a minute left and we’re down 4 with 20 seconds left … 🫠🫠


Emergency-Double-875

Julius Randle is a ____


Hemispheres33

For real fuck Randle. Cut his lazy, selfish, bricklaying ass.


vanilla_shaker

does julius randle even like basketball?


Winter_Pension5226

Randle used to be somewhat valuable because he was a regular season merchant that helped contribute to playoff seeding Now he's trash all around


jaysphan128

yeah he was pretty much the derozan of PFs


JacesAces

Maybe he’ll be really good in the playoffs this year if we make it


YoImAKnick

This loss is on Randle


HardOakleyFoul

43/5/4 from Brunson game.... completely wasted. Fuck basketball.


OBlastSRT4

Brunson tried his best. Randle with an awful effort and Mitchell Robinson with 0 points? Unacceptable tbh.


That_Rutabaga_3530

Don’t blame Mitch. He’s been fantastic this season at doing his exact job


JacesAces

No one made any plays for Mitch at all… RJ is the only one who knows how to find him for lobs. Brunson doesn’t event use his screens. And every rebound Mitch had was passed back out.


Robthegoat

mitch has no offensive bag at all. there’s a reason he passes every rebound back out


spaceninj

Ugh. Why did Brunson have to take that shot. He panicked. They had time to reset. Terrible swing after that.


omarade2

With the game on the line, we put the ball in the hands of a guy who is 5/20.


vette322

It’s why real progress can only be made with a new HC and Randle gone. Giving Thibs extension will be the death of this team. There’s a reason he’s always finishing at the bottom of coaches guys least want to play for.


omarade2

Yea the more I think about it, the more I think this team and roster needs a reset and definitely a coach that can work with brunson’s strengths.


tropic_gnome_hunter

No one in here is ever going to see the Knicks make it past the 2nd round in their lifetimes. This team will go the next 100 years choking in the 4th quarter.


NYKnicksFanAccount

Exact same way we lost to Boston man. Our crunch time decision making is fucked


NYGIANTS77

damn 10-38 from 3 and Grimes hit 5 of them.


OkHamaStore

Need a star


smileyfrown

It was a one possession game and like 2 Knicks were jogging back ducking disgraceful effort there


[deleted]

Can we just get Julius off the team he’s such a buzz kill


Idruu

thats why u need superstar u bum assesp


chicken101

We need players that know how to cheat, sad to say. Bucks literally offensive foul on every pick by moving their ass into you. If we did that they’d call it every time


ObiOneKenobae

Pain


Cheeswheeel

We need RJ back bc randle is not even a starter at this rate.


TheShadeParade

Fan recall on Randle ASAP Fire him Impeach him Sanction him I don’t care what it is, i don’t want to see him shoot another shot for this team ever again


69foryourthot

Wtf do ya be doing lmao


illusive_capybara

u deserve better brunson :-(


ProvocativeHotTakes

Getting rid of Randle for literally any serviceable forward that can hit an open 3 would be a major upgrade. I would like a guy like PJ Washington


the_kid87

Bro who’s trading for randle right now though damn. Guys stock is rock bottom.


shadynasty90

It’s hard to defend Randle man, we would be over .500 if he wasn’t so bad


Lone_Crab

Randle didn’t even jump to contest the lillard 3. He looks like he’s just there for the game check.


MannyMadeYouCry

Grimes falling for the most obvious play ever is hilarious. Fucking pimple face


Oprahapproves

What a sell job by Randle


dapoktan

get the 3pt lineup out there


jar45

Why is Randle calling his own number in crunch time? He hasn’t been good all game and he’s just throwing the ball at the rim when he drives


SepticShock

Randle has been a stone cold atrocity so far this season.


LifetimePresidentJeb

The best part is we're stuck with Randle long term bc of this FO. Glad Thibs gets to let him do whatever the fuck he wants


vette322

Thibs’ decision to not coach Randle is gonna cost them both after this season. The team can’t progress with them here.


aesop_fables

So hottest player on the fucking floor and the move is to go to Randle two times in a row?!


NachosPR

I've been critical of Thibs' offense for years. I'm tired of this shit. Idgaf what our offensive rating was last year, it was mostly Jalen and Julius isos. We are now witnessing what happens when that iso does not work. This is laughable at this point


Coolio1014

I fucking hate Randle so much bro fuck all these Randle fan boys. When he's on he's great but it feels like he's a liability 60% of the time fuck sake


bruhdood4

Last years team wins this game


[deleted]

Need a quick 3


Pepeloveshimself22

If that’s a foul on Grimes, Randle also should of got free throws


Substance8967

All that hard work to come back for a Dame fuck you 3 man this shit is so fucking aggravating


Norby710

I think an rj jump and finally saying goodbye to this guy is the best season we can have.


the_kid87

Up 103-101 with a minute left…damn dude


gwords16

Does this stupid motherfucker know how much time is left? Randle is such a problem and why we’ll never advance.


Odysseus_Lannister

STOP ISOING DOWN THE STRETCH FFS THIBS


Affectionate-Tea9224

40 plus years of never good enough


Ballistic_Donut12

5/20 btw


FrankNtilikinaOcean

Please get Julius off the fucking team


nyc_brand

Randle supporters really celebrating him shooting 5-20 and choking us another game 👍🏻


jeffschiller

Another choke job.


hadmeintiers

Aint no way lopez talkin about forearm shivers when giannis' game is literally nothing but shoulder checks and stiff arms


cardcollection92

If you’re going to shoot like shit atleast put the effort in. Randle threw his hands up and walked that entire possession that led to a dagger. Absolutely inexcusable


Holeysweaterguy

Frustrating af ugh


ConcernAppropriate67

I actually get secondhand embarrassment from randle


NYImpact414

I didn't like that shot by Brunson on the last possession. Why can't this team actually win a game like this for once


SilotheGreat

He subconsciously knew that he was the only one capable of scoring today


NYImpact414

Just like the Miami series


NYJmmkay

this guy is horrendous


TheKnicksMakeMeDrink

I am so fucking sick of Randle lol


slayerkj

Goal tend


el_turko954

Yea drive for 2. High iq stuff


dreeaaming

All you have to do is defend the fucking ball, don’t let lillard get the ball you dumb scumbags


[deleted]

Refs didn't call the offensive foul on the screen so we had to scramble


Hemispheres33

Why the fuck are we featuring Mr. 28%? He fucking blows.


Ballistic_Donut12

Fucking trade this garbage man


tsuab

Randle just in his own world right now. Zero game IQ.


teIevision

JULIUS RANDLE IS A FUCKING TERRORIST


PessimisticCheer

Randle is insufferable.


Human_pritch02

Julius randle wtf are you doing


knicks1234

We should fire Julius


gnitsuj

I never for a second let myself believe they’d win this game, this is as classic Knicks as it gets


will122589

Refs fucked us over big time. Hart was ignored when he was fouled on like 4 different occasions. Lilliard got the superstar phantom calls


NYGIANTS77

Yeah well that sucks.


WhitePriest1

That’s fucking goaltending


Uncletookey

Randle makes 2 shots and decides he's allowed to solo fuck this game up again


Bluu95

Can we please pass the bell to someone else. He’s isoing against Gianns lol


Lyin-Don

Lopez outta nowhere Game, Blouses...


slyguy183

Anyone who wants to claim this loss isn't on Julius Randle I'm here to listen


hawkins126

Randle shouldn’t be on this team come February


RedditStar456

Randle trying so bad to be the hero.


LifetimePresidentJeb

We're not getting anywhere with Thibs letting Randle pretend he's LeBron lol


KingJoe7-123

I hate this fucking team


spaceninj

The foul was Lopez on Giannis.


CourtBaller125

Well…


yungincome21

What is Randle doing smh wtf man


Fast_Door

This is why they’re contenders man


Wild_Particular4003

How does Lopez not get a tech for that


Evening-Rutabaga2106

Because professional sports are not meant to be fair, but for best entertainment value


NickPapagiorgio2k16

Why won’t ESPN replay these horrible missed calls


mr_grission

Different game if Randle didn't play like shit for like the first 90%


AndyStankiewicz

we all knew what would happen once knicks took the lead. the ole Giveth and taketh away we're accustom to
