Nope. Try again. 

You can't troll an NY fan base that's absolutely on FIRE right now. 

Just go to RealGm Knicks forum. 10x more traffic than JN I don't post there but I read from time to time and those guys are on FIRE right now. 

You ain't @SAR I bruh. You SUCK as a troll. 

You should take your ass to an Oregon message board because us NY fans could give two pig flying fks about your Oregon team

Say it again but this time without crying

Was he even trying to get hired by anyone last year?  Sometimes these coaches just want time off

 

Porzinigis is done.  The only problem with trading him was Phil didn’t get to accept the offer of Jaylon Brown and picks because Dolan vetoed it

Taj Gibson a Knick!

He was with us last year but A.) We didn't have coach Thibs and B.) No one knows how to use Taj Gibson off the bench, better than coach Thibs. 

He's the perfect 35 year old veteran role playing big man now coming off the bench in order for Thibs to utilize while spelling either of Robinson/Randle. 

A+ move under Thibs. 

[Defense Wins Championships 2,413]

I'd love to see a Center/PF duo of Taj and Obi coming OFF THE BENCH!

I'm so pumped up for our game vs. OKC; 6-3 (6-1 previous 7) here we come. 

[Defense Wins Championships 2,413]

17-7 4 mins left we're up 10 in the 1st and might beat these guys by 50+ tonight our Defense under Thibs is A+!

Yeah man I was super excited up 10 I guess because being an NYJ/NYK fan we crave above .500 records lol but in all reality just a young team who shot bad tonight. The effort was there. The fight was there. The shots just didn't drop. 

9 games in and 5-4? Could be 6-4 @ .600% after our first 10 gms under Thibs? Sign me up every time. 

Monday vs 3-5 Nuggets @ home in MSG. Jamal Murray and Jokic is going to be a tough duo I'm excited to see how coach Thibs defends these guys.

This is why older Knick fans don’t get too high after a few wins. Like I said before... it’s a long season with peaks and valleys. Hoping as Thibs teaches the young guys on the night after night dedication on both ends (contesting every shot, setting good picks and making the extra pass) that mid-season everything gels and we make a playoff run.

I’m hoping for a .500 record and a playoff seed in the 8-10 range

 

I’d be thrilled with that

It was a little bit of a trap game after beating some really good teams and looking ahead to Nuggets and Nets

@Defense Wins Championships
why do the knicks jerseys have white numbers. They are supposed to be orange. Very confusing. Please advise.

[32EBoozer 6,394]

@Defense Wins Championships, you’ve been quiet the last few games...... pace yourself

You like how short they are don’t you hehe. That looks a lot like the Yankees logo in Mets colors — how did the Knicks ever get away with that??

Yes it was. Locked down Boston with A+ defense. 

And today was the first Knicks game I've missed all season was working and didn't realize it was an early MLK day game looked @ the box scores and noticed both Barrett and Randle balled out. 

5-3 never felt so good but falling to 5-8 with 5 loses in a row had me losing hope. These last two back to back wins over Boston/Orlando has me excited again. 

If we can just get back to .500 and then get to 10 games over .500 I'll be celebrating lol

Knicks have beaten the top 2 teams in the East Milwaukee and Boston

[Philc1 13,509]

Fans, no fans, Knicks just can never win on the west coast

[Philc1 13,509]

Mitch played 31 minutes the previous game so I think this tweet is about his role on offense which in that case I actually don’t disagree with what he is saying 

 

 

Mitch is getting a lot of wide open looks from the perimeter with the ball in his hands.  Why not let him shoot once in a while?  Even Oak developed an outside shot late in his career

[Philc1 13,509]

Good win over the cavs and another brilliant performance by IQ
