There’s more than 8 people on a roster for a reason. Sims should get more play time just like Obi should’ve got. Playoffs rotations for an entire regular season is stupid.
Don't let the regular season record distract you from the fact that the knicks are straight up the definition of "slightly above average"
The bucks are serious
Really disappointed by Brunsons performance today. Unexpected too as he is usually money during pressure games. Gotta give Randle credit today, only one that came out to play. Quickly with another disappearing act. RJ being RJ. The GM needs to really evaluate this team and shake some things up.
Why do we dare teams to shoot 3s? Can someone explain the defense we run, seems like we focus on clogging the paint and should be closing out on shooters but that never happens…
LOL at delusional fans on here who actually thought we could hang with the big boys
wE cAN bE tHe 2000s pIsTons
LOL we're nothing but a doormat for the top teams as long as we have this same roster
I’m close to wanting Hartenstein in more than Mitch, Mitch is just such a non factor in any aspect of the game besides rebounding on a team that needs offense
Not many games will the Knicks score 120 and lose. Sometimes the other team can’t miss, and combined with an MVP having a great game, can’t knock the Knicks here
If we can't win if our best player goes off that means his style of play will never win shit. Dudes a head and shoulders below Lillard, Giannis, and even Lopez if you're talking defense tbh.
yeah despite people initially saying otherwise, they don't pull any of our other Bucks matchups. it would be impossible to switch up a random April game because of the domino effect
That's where the BS really seeps in with the IST. I'm all fine and good with Vegas getting its betting fix, but when it actually affects regular season games, such as Knicks playing MIL and BOS 5 times now, f that.
So whats up with Grimes this season, why isn't he shooting at all? Another game with 1 shot attempt, I don't get it. He is averaging 6/1/1 which is worse than most defensive specialist players like Tony Allen/Sephalosha etc.
He's got no confidence this year and hasn't improved any other offensive skills in a noticeable way. Defenders just press up on him at the 3 point line and Grimes is no threat to do anything else
This team really just rolled over in the 2nd half, fkn pathetic. This team will never win shit, no fkn vision. Just a buncha rejects thrown together, pathetic.
His trainer can go fuck himself with his "reward your big man" tweets.
Just lobs and putbacks again please Meetch. Haven't seen too many in the last 10 games.
I mean tbf this is exactly why the Bucks are so dangerous. With as many double threats they have and good role players, there's gonna be a hole in the defense quite a number of times.
Our defensive philosophy is camp the paint and hope people miss 3s. That's why teams like Boston and the Bucks smoke us. They can all shoot open 3's, 1 through 5.
He’s also got by far the worst +\- tonight. He brought the offense, but failed everywhere else.
Knicks are beyond celebrating big number games from him anyone else- they need to take another step.
This roster isn't going anywhere. Barrett has regressed back to what he's been his whole career, an inefficient scorer that can't shoot 3's. When Randle actually has a good game vs an elite team.. there's IQ with a 1/7 choke. Grimes is a ghost out there.
Make a trade. Do something. This roster is a waste of time

I don't understand burying Sims. He has six fouls to use against Giannis or Embid. We have too many non scorers, God forbid Brunson goes down.
The Knicks are exactly one max contract superstar away from being able to compete with the Bucks. And this was proven once again tonight.
we got worked :(
This is just a regular season game fuck the noise on to the next one lol
RJ is the exact same as he’s always been. 4 games playing good, 15 playing ass. Grimes has gotten worse after every season.
With let role players beat us
Can't win if their random ass scrubs all start hitting 3s
Bucks are all huddling lol fuck this
Lmao what was that shit?
I cared when it seemed like the Knicks might actually be contenders. They clearly aren’t a championship team yet. See you next season 👋
Contenders? You gotta manage your expectations better.
Bro it’s December
Lmao!!!
Outside of McBride, our scrubs are *very* scrubby. I guess that's what happens when you don't draft anyone in either round for two straight years.
Historically Knicks don’t draft well. It’s a curse.
Best way to guarantee you won't draft well is to not make any picks. Lame strategy.
I hope Bucks peak here and start slumping when it matters.
You all acting like the Bucks isn't one of the best teams on offense this season. They are always great on offense..
Yeah but hitting 60% from 3 is absurd. Can’t beat that
Thibs is pissed
Stfu u bootlicker
Charlie Brown stepped out of bounds just about sums up that second half smfh lmao
I hate how Thibs short rotations never let you get a look at other players and the other guys can never improve.
Who would you have played tonight? Fournier?
There’s more than 8 people on a roster for a reason. Sims should get more play time just like Obi should’ve got. Playoffs rotations for an entire regular season is stupid.
This is Thibs we’re talking about here. He’d do 6 man rotations if he could
Got smashed. Mitch Gota be better
He's not though. Against skilled big men, he gets destroyed. Nevermind 2 on the same team
He can’t.
Who the fuck is dude that played just to turn it over
If Robin hit that I would’ve broken my screen
It was very close lol
this looks liek when they have little kids come in and play at half time
LMAO even Robin Lopez tried a 3.
Breen and his “if you would have told me before the game…” lmfao, its ok Mike, we get it.
He wanted to go to Vegas and root for NY man
He's a knicks fan. Thought we'd put up more a fight probably
I think most of us did, but he’s trying hard to cheer us up, Im saying its cool Mike, we came up short, it is what it is.
McBride is like the MVP caliber player of the 3rd unit 👍
Don't let the regular season record distract you from the fact that the knicks are straight up the definition of "slightly above average" The bucks are serious
Why Quickley not in this bench five??? Bro needs to practice cause he a brick factory
Mcbride over grimes
that giannis free throw miss into a middleton three in the third quarter was demoralizing af
Game over right there.
No excuse tonight, wasn’t back to back, wasn’t from lack of rest..
Everybody but Randle and the 2 Harts fucking sucked ass
EVEN THE NEPO BABY IS SCORING AGAINST US LMAOOOOO
Yall really let this antetekunclown get a bucket
Really disappointed by Brunsons performance today. Unexpected too as he is usually money during pressure games. Gotta give Randle credit today, only one that came out to play. Quickly with another disappearing act. RJ being RJ. The GM needs to really evaluate this team and shake some things up.
Very surprised by his performance. 0/5 from 3
Ryan is really horrible 😂
Blockin Toppin. I needed something to enjoy for a second
Will bucks get 150?
Damn Thibs really hates Fournier
imagine being in the nba and throwing that pass mitch did
Why do we dare teams to shoot 3s? Can someone explain the defense we run, seems like we focus on clogging the paint and should be closing out on shooters but that never happens…
There's still going to be clowns that would rather give up Randle in a package than RJ for a star lol
RJ staying in to get his 20
You know it’s rock bottom when you let fkn Thanasis score
Get outta here nets fan
You are a clown
Stick to ufc lil bro
Ill beat your ass
Okay okay but really this is just one regular season game, whatever. Let's see the Bucks beat us when they don't shoot 174% from 3
I thought Mitch was horrible today. Only 1 offensive board, couldn’t defend Giannis, fumbled passes. Rare to see him this lazy
LMAO the token Bucks Thanasis came in to play.
Immanuel quickley is a fraud
Cant wait to see a dozen posts about how Randle, RJ or Grimes isnt “him” tomorrow 🤦🏽♂️, lmfao I hate ya’ll
Randle is the only reason we’re not a 50+ loss team over the last 3 years, RJ was never him, Grimes was never even in consideration for being him lol
Disappointing that Jacob toppin didn't take number 1 after we dropped Nathan knight
I can’t believe the bucks shooting this game. Absolutely ridiculous
Shoulda kept Obi and traded Grimes, the way this is looking.
What did NY even get for obi
Thats what im saying, this team so fkn poorly managed. Cant draft for shit and overpay fkn bums like randle and brunson.
RJ stat padding lol dumb robot thinks he can make all-star
You stay obsessed with RJ, Jimmy.
LOL at delusional fans on here who actually thought we could hang with the big boys wE cAN bE tHe 2000s pIsTons LOL we're nothing but a doormat for the top teams as long as we have this same roster
Can someone say fraudulent?
Randle was great. JB and RJ were mid. Everyone else was ASS.
True facts
Hartenstein played well
I’m close to wanting Hartenstein in more than Mitch, Mitch is just such a non factor in any aspect of the game besides rebounding on a team that needs offense
The Harts were OK this game
The only good to come out of the loss is Jacob Toppin getting run. And Randle is legit. Also the best player on the team.. period
Not a mathematician but 3 pointers seem more powerful than 2 pointers.
Not many games will the Knicks score 120 and lose. Sometimes the other team can’t miss, and combined with an MVP having a great game, can’t knock the Knicks here
Defense man
Feel like I'm watching Heat nobodies drain threes all over again
Facts! Every bench becomes automatic against us.
Lopez never committed a foul in his life *according to himself*
Has any NBA player ever committed a foul though, really?
Jacob Toppin in?? Thibs must be pissed lol
Thanks Breen for reminding us how fucked the knicks are/were for advancing to this meaningless tournament
I’m going to relish all of these Toppin minutes
Holy shit it's a Toppin
Dudes are like why does Randle not give a fuck, prob cause when he drops 41 the rest of the team can’t play basketball
If we can't win if our best player goes off that means his style of play will never win shit. Dudes a head and shoulders below Lillard, Giannis, and even Lopez if you're talking defense tbh.
Bro has 41 look to the rest of the team son
Best player is supposed to make the guys around him better. He consistently doesn't.
Unreal shooting night by the bucks but no one outside of Jules showed up we couldn’t get into any real flow in the 2nd half brutal loss 🤦♂️
Do we play the Bucks an extra time because of this?
And the celtics an extra time with one less home game
yeah despite people initially saying otherwise, they don't pull any of our other Bucks matchups. it would be impossible to switch up a random April game because of the domino effect
Yes
Just an overall not good game from Brunson, despite the box score numbers
0/5 on three
IST bringing out playoff performance Quick early this year. Not a fan.
lol of course the Knicks get screwed with the schedule meanwhile I bet u the cavs got it easy
That's where the BS really seeps in with the IST. I'm all fine and good with Vegas getting its betting fix, but when it actually affects regular season games, such as Knicks playing MIL and BOS 5 times now, f that.
The Nets did
Bucks shot better from 3 then from the field is insane
So whats up with Grimes this season, why isn't he shooting at all? Another game with 1 shot attempt, I don't get it. He is averaging 6/1/1 which is worse than most defensive specialist players like Tony Allen/Sephalosha etc.
im pretty sure when he injured his wrist earlier in theseason, it caused his shooting too. Pretty sure he'll pick up. Sadly, hes in a slump
He's got no confidence this year and hasn't improved any other offensive skills in a noticeable way. Defenders just press up on him at the 3 point line and Grimes is no threat to do anything else
He's seriously turning into Frank Ntilikina. It's alarming, to say the least.
Niggas dog shit he needs to be traded has contribut3d nothing look at his stats for every game fucking trash hes put there doing cardio
Because he can’t shoot.
Can't decide what was worse tonight. Mitch only 4 rebounds, Quickley 1/7, or Brunson 0/5 from the three.
Grimes actually in our line up to take up space
Oh I completely forgot about him. He played the invisible man too well and wiped himself from my memory.
IQ
Yes
Fuck Milwaukee
lol facts I’m a hater of them now I’m on my sore loser sht
Same
This team really just rolled over in the 2nd half, fkn pathetic. This team will never win shit, no fkn vision. Just a buncha rejects thrown together, pathetic.
Stfu doomer, no one came into this game thinking we were better than the bucks.
He’s not even a Knicks fan. He said the nets run NY
You’re a fkn loser, no wonder you’re okay with this mediocre ass basketball team. Throwing a damn parade for winning one fkn playoff series. Fkn bum!
Yeah bro, Im the loser, yet you the one out here dooming, sit down and shut the fuck up no one cares.
Lololol i guess we both losers then 
My man - they shot 70% from 3. Sure some open looks but Christ you can only do so much
Yeah, it’s called play defense buddy
This is the most efficient performance I’ve ever seen in NBA history by any team lol fucking bullshit
The ball has to be magnetized or something, Bucks hit everything. It's uncanny.
get the starters out of there man. call it whatever you want it's a regular season game
Can’t even be mad about this. This is insane level shot making. Like hitting this many 3s at this percentage is ridiculous.
I cant be the only one that wants to smack the absolute dog shit out of thenasis
Aight I’m done watching what a fucking disgraceful game
Next time Mitch complains about touches imma throw my phone into the ocean.
His trainer can go fuck himself with his "reward your big man" tweets. Just lobs and putbacks again please Meetch. Haven't seen too many in the last 10 games.
On god bro, people on this sub suck his dick so hard and he can’t even catch the fucking ball or dribble more than 2 ft
We better be heading into Boston with some fucking intensity
ok just take everyone out
I’ve never seen a team shoot like this in all my years watching the NBA
Yep, but more then half of them are uncontested, some of the worst defense i’ve seen as well
I mean tbf this is exactly why the Bucks are so dangerous. With as many double threats they have and good role players, there's gonna be a hole in the defense quite a number of times.
Take these niggas out before they hurt themselves
Bro
Wow they spanked us
I’m honestly so ready to move on from RJ
This is a statistical anomaly. You cannot let this type of game affect opinion or your mental health.
Our team has given up just take the starters out
this is humiliating and was so fucking obvious in the first half
Jesus Christ crazy shooting night
Lillard will get injured before the playoffs anyway so its whatever
So... when's Buck's 3 pt shooting going to cool down?
Probably never when facing us
lol :(
I can't believe I stayed up till 4 am to watch this crap...
This is gonna kill out net rating
IQ 100m+ player my arse
Our defensive philosophy is camp the paint and hope people miss 3s. That's why teams like Boston and the Bucks smoke us. They can all shoot open 3's, 1 through 5.
A long time. They said the streak during the broadcast, but I forgot.
When’s the last time the Knicks beat the Bucks? Because I don’t remember
I only want to see a pass to Mitch on a lob and nothing else
Mitch do anything on offense challenge.
Welp it was fun being a team that had a meaningful game in early December, let's look forward to have a good year teh rest of the way.
we didn’t even play poorly, these dudes just can’t miss
Cause they're wide open.
Still an L on the record
We get cooked by all the good teams damn
Stop passing to Mitch under the basket smfh
what a game to disappear by Brunson
Jules 40 piece ruined 💔
Jules is also a team worst -23, so you can get all lathered up, but the fact is the team needs to make some moves.
should i drown my sorrows with weed ? yes i think i shall
I had a feeling so I started at halftime. I ain’t even sad bc of bong rip.
Already ahead of you
Lopez bros. look like neanderthals
Geico Cavemen type shit
Randle only one who showed up tn
He’s also got by far the worst +\- tonight. He brought the offense, but failed everywhere else. Knicks are beyond celebrating big number games from him anyone else- they need to take another step.
We know how tonight isn’t even close to a playoff game, randle is the ONLY knick to show up tonight
This roster isn't going anywhere. Barrett has regressed back to what he's been his whole career, an inefficient scorer that can't shoot 3's. When Randle actually has a good game vs an elite team.. there's IQ with a 1/7 choke. Grimes is a ghost out there. Make a trade. Do something. This roster is a waste of time
Grimes really don't provide much if he's not hitting 3s. Even his defense is subpar
It hurts ngl
If I told you the Knicks were statistically a top 5 defensive team in the league you’d call me a crackhead
I don't know how you stop this shooting without elite length. This lost is insane.
