Please No. I'll gladly take Fields instead.

After the way this #Knicks game started, being down 11 after one isn't worst case scenario.

Jalen Brunson out letting everyone know who the hell he is. 19pts and 4/4 from deep. Keeping the #Knicks in this game.

When the #Knicks are running on all cylinders on both ends of the court, it's a beautiful thing to witness.

Absolutely no excuse for the #Knicks.

After one game???

One fall per missed shot.

Between the #Knicks not being able to buy a bucket, Dallas hitting almost everything they throw up and some suspect whistles, this is a game where I would just toss out the game film and focus on Friday. Never speak of it again.

If we are going to bench Bridges for the 4th in games that he isn't playing well in, I probably shouldn't see OG in this 4th quarter for the #Knicks.

As soon as the #Knicks make a run, Dallas scores 6-8 quick points and we are back to a 18-20 point deficit.

#Knicks aren't winning shit if they are going to shot 28%.

Foul shots seem to be the only thing keeping the #Knicks in this game early.

I can get behind that.

Randle more than DiVo but you are right. Not much. It's still a justification though on the grade. If he was better in the paint defensively, the grade would have been higher. Also why it didn't effect the grade too much.

Grading the #Knicks off season moves after 17 games:

The KAT trade: A- (Would be higher but the teams paint defense has taken a dip.)

The OG re-signing: A+ (Defense, shooting and driving. All on point)

The Bridges trade: C- (3pt shooting has tanked. Defense is a step behind. Mid range saves him.

#Knicks currently are sitting at 10-7. Their next 10 games are against Dallas, Charlotte (×2), New Orleans (×2), Orlando, Detroit, Toronto (×2) and Minnesota.

What do you think their record w/ be at the end of this stretch? I'm seeing 17-10.

That was the most complete game that the #Knicks have played all season.

Santa Claus's real name isn't Chris Cringle. It's Jalen Brunson. Dropping dimes like presents on Christmas. #Knicks

I think I agree w/ Mike Breen. That might have been the best half of basketball that the #Knicks have played this season.

As bad as they are playing (outside of maybe OG), the #Knicks do not give up. They battle their asses off.

Well, between jacking up 3s and recklessly driving to rim just hoping to get fouled, the #Knicks are going to have a hard time getting back in this game. They also need to start stringing together defensive stops.

Markkanen out here shooting lights out against the #Knicks. Shot is smooth as shit. Maybe Phil was on to something. 🤷‍♂️

Hart:
18th in RPG (9.0)
10th in FG% (59.6)

And last, the one everyone worries about, Minutes per game:
1st- Bridges (38.6)
4th- Hart (37.3)
15th- Anunoby (36.3)

Current spots that #Knicks rank across the league:

Brunson:
11th in PPG (25.2)
9th in APG (7.3)
14th in Ast/TO (3.14)

Towns:
10th in PPG (26.8)
4th in RPG (12.2)
5th in 3pt% (55.1)
8th in total fouls (47)

Brunson in his bag tonight. 23 pts & 7 dimes at the half. Shooting 8/9 from floor and 4/4 from deep.

Yes, the Suns are depleted but this is what the #Knicks need to be doing in these situations. Up 18 at the half. NY needs to come out start to start the 3rd & keep the pressure on.

I am really enjoying the switching that I am seeing from the #Knicks on defense so far tonight.

Kevin Durant OUT vs Knicks Wednesday (calf)

Bradley Beal OUT (calf)

Jusuf Nurkic QUESTIONABLE (ankle)

Cooper Rush is pretty bad at this QB thing. I'm sure he will be a good coordinator. They always are. Might want to go that route sooner than later. #MNF

The #Knicks took care of business and are hopefully back on track.

Maybe but was Stat really a 1A? I'm talking top guys in the league.
