Game Day: Knicks (8-6) @ Suns (9-6), Wed 11/20/24

Brunson is so damn good

Too bad we couldn't have drafted him...Oh, wait...

[Superbone]

I hate watching Brunson play, he's like watching Luka, bleh. Anyway, gave this game a half, doesn't deserve my energy lol, on to the next one.

I was playing poker at Talking Stick Resort. Saw it up on the big screen and saw we were instantly destroyed in the first quarter. When I got home, watched the 4th quarter only. First time I didn't watch the whole game all year. Made some money playing poker so I made the best of it for the night.

[Superbone]

Brunson is nothing like Luka. Doesn't foul bait. Doesn't complain. He's a tough son of a bitch

He does hold and grab but I don't blame him. Dunn played pretty good defense on him from what I saw but he's the type you can't stop, only try to contain.

[Superbone]

I wonder how many teams would fall apart without their 1st and 3rd best players. Probably most I'd assume, I'd like to see better effort from the rest of the squad in this situation, they just seem flat every time out.

Orlando had no problem kicking our teeth in without 2 of their best players. Tired of us apologizing for the team getting waxed night in and night out because of injuries. At least be competitive FFS.

I agree. We all know we are undermanned but show some grit. Try and get a stop defensively every once in a while. Don't get beat down in the first five minutes of every game.

[Superbone]

Nurk is so fucking bad. He's flat out awful.

Who would you rather have? Him or Ayton? Asking for a friend.

[Superbone]

Brunson is one of my least favorite players to watch…props to him for becoming a legit nba star, but he’s basically mini-Harden…just swings those arms around trying to get fouled

Right on cue, he tricks the refs into calling a foul

He's a tricky son of a bitch, no question. But at his size, you have to admire it. Wish we had some of that.

Agreed. I was thinking exactly the same. It is fine if our offense is bad without 2 of the top 3 players, but if those are the cards dealt, the available guys need to change their approach to the game and play like rabid dogs on defense and the boards if they want to compete. Obviously, this has not been the case.

The Thunder lost an nba cup game? We can still win our group

Not playing like this, we can't.

[Superbone]

I would like Josh Hart on our team - tough, versatile and just seems to do the little things well that you need role players to do (defend, rebound, pass, hit open shots)
Obviously not going to happen, but just musing..

I didn't even watch the whole game but I saw him embarrass us a couple times. Just outhustled everybody in a Suns uniform for offensive rebounds.

The most embarrassing thing was seeing the Knicks run one fastbreak after another early in the game. So many easy dunks. Come on...

Yup, no excuse for that.

Counting on KD and Beal back for the LA game…then hope LA beats OKC too. Then if we beat the Spurs we should be in.

Can I pick neither?

Nurk is less dead weight on the cap at least

[Superbone]

Hey, look at the bright side. At least we held the Knicks under 140 points.

At least we can count on Nurk trying when he's out there, it's ugly and not very good a lot of the time but there is effort. The other guy would just check himself out of games when he didn't get enough shots.

Idk that it's any better. I'd prefer Nurk not get PT

[Split T]

Anything is better than the times Ayton was completely checked out of a game
