"Today's Knickle Bag will be Tomorrow's 10 Keys: Be Patient"- Official '24-25 NY Knicks Season Thread

[Knicksman20]

I think we played bad. We have different standards now brehs. We traded everything with the expectation that that this is a championship level team. We don’t have many more levers to pull to improve this team that much. Now, I’m not saying that the season is over and after I stop being emotional, I know we’ll turn it around and look better but this defense is fukking concerning.

It's the rotations on defense & the new guys getting use to the system. We were getting burned by the same pick n roll play over & over. Hopefully Thibs & the staff can correct this. If this team has any pride like they did last season, they'll be pissed, will bounce back & respond, & be waiting for these leprechaun fuks to visit MSG for some payback

Get OG out of the game

Someone bring up a stat of the percentage of makes of 3s that Duece is defending... because he's on his opponents body forcing misses.... I get that the celtics are hitting but the rest of the team gotta show some fukking grit

 

[Peter Popoff]

It really is. It's unreal. They're hitting on all cylinders like NBA Jam with a cheat code.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

This is so disrespectful

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I just got home, what the f*ck happened?

 

[Peter Popoff]

Dadiet nice.

 

[Unbothered]

Dayum, this gotta be one of the worst opening night games ever.

I mean it's not New York's fault, y'all played pretty well but Boston going overboard with the 3s and shyt pretty much sealed the deal.

The problem I have with the Knicks is that they're starting 5 is good, but I look over at that bench, and it's pretty “meh” overall. I know y'all missing a few guys but the bench should get better as the season progresses.

Bad loss but Knicks played good offensively

Defense right now can't stop the Celtics. Nobody's can.

Team needs time to mesh and find their footing. It'll be clunky for the first few months as we learn to play together.

But the gap between the Celtics and the next best team is wide

C's figured out how to glitch the 2k green release into real life

Knicks didn't play bad.

Their opponent hit thirty 30ft shots. There's no defense for that.

They didn’t hit 30 heavily contested 3s. Our defense was very unorganized, (because we’re a new team) but we are very responsible for these nikkas about to set a record in our faces.

 

[WaveMolecules]

celtics high off the banner/ring ceremony.

our D was sus but otherwise we didnt play terrible. its all good.

[BigMoneyGrip]

[RickyGQ]

We can give Huk, Sims minutes. You just can’t teach size.
