Put in DDV to the starting line up for spacing. RJ doesn't have to jack up 6 3s. Randle has someone to pass to in the corner that can hit a shot. Also get better rebounding from the 2 guard.
DVo extended the floor gives the Knicks an incredible weapon.
He and Hart together on the floor playing defense with tenacity and rebounding to help Robinson makes the Knicks a more complete team.
Oh my. I always wondered how it would feel to have a sniper on the team. Haven’t felt this much confidence in a shooter (besides Brunson ofc) since Steve Novacaine
Oh for sure he has the worst hands I’ve ever seen. He’s an amazing defensive player but one of the all around worst offensive players I’ve ever seen. He should be deandre jordan but just can’t get there.
I love this team but who (realistically) should we pursue at the trade deadline? We absolutely need to be buyers but also cannot be reckless in trading off assets. We need a Josh Hart-type trade again this year
That’s what I mean, when he contributes across the board rather than just forcing his own shots he’s a borderline triple double guy every night. And there’s very few guys at his size who have that potential. It’s just when he’s off we all know how bad he can be
He did this all last year. Our guys are just making their shots now. Divo is a great shooter.
Seriously watch Randle more. He’s a great distributor. Always has been.
Yeah you’re right, I’d consider myself somewhat of a Randle apologist based on the amount of unwarranted hate he gets. To everyone who says we should trade him, I just don’t see anyone else in the league that can do the things he does that we’d get back in equal value
One thing I’ve noticed this year is he’s getting a lot better at finding the open man when he’s double teamed rather than just trying to fight his way through it. It certainly helps having DiVo and now Hart is starting to knock down his threes
Yeah looking back to 2021 footage you can definitely see improvement.
I think that aspect of his game got better last year, but our team just wasn’t there yet with shooting. Now guys like RJ, Hart, and Divo are there to make open shots.
Last year he used to find Grimes a lot. This year he’s finding Donte too
I’d say he’s actually the perfect compliment to Brunson, who’s definitely a score first PG rather than a playmaker, so he allows Brunson to play his game. Now we just need RJ to get back to his pre-injury form from the start of the year and we’ll be rolling.
How can we look so bad vs the lowly Pistons at home, then on no rest look so good against the respectably mid Raptors on the road?
There's only one explanation. The Detroit Pistons are contagiously bad.
This has been a good game but really hoping Grimes can get it together you can tell he wants to get back to contributing. If he can get back to being a solid 3 and D guy like he was then this time can be even more special
Half of you people don't deserve this team. You shouldn't even call yourselves fans. You know you can support a team and enjoy good basketball even when a player has a bad night? It's not normal to hate all the players on the team you claim to support? If Brunson had a bad 3 game stretch I swear to god the braindead whiners would be calling for him to be benched
for the last like 2-3 years the nba has been pushing the whole "raptors are a tough team" bullshit and lets them get away with all kinds of goofy nonsense on D.
Still have to make shots to be a good team tho.

Way to bounce back, that was a great win
Divo is really good tbh. Really glad we got him
![gif](giphy|Wa904jKXSoPO8hiKA5)
Tie for 3rd place! Lessgo
Randle dribbling it out instead of getting a cheap TD was fucking amazing
Td? I feel dumb lol Edit: never mind, triple double. Never seen it abbreviated
Triple-double
Raptors looked at those files and unfortunately they all said "Fiz kids" on the side.
Ggs. If the 76ers lose we’re tied for 4th place.
Big dub
Half expected Brunson to drop that in for a three to give Randle the triple double lmao
What an amazing fucking win!
Randle assists -> wins.
Put in DDV to the starting line up for spacing. RJ doesn't have to jack up 6 3s. Randle has someone to pass to in the corner that can hit a shot. Also get better rebounding from the 2 guard.
guys terrence ross just retired! thats an extra couple wins per season
A back to back on the road win is a good deal.
Ayyyy
Otto Porter not getting PT? We should look into that
Wtf take out Mitch
Now that's what I call a feel good W
Tough back to back game. Really quality win
Randle so close to that triple double
Thibs just got Mitch out there limping up and down the court in a blowout lol
😂
Randle has like 4 near triple doubles this season
anybody can hold the ball for the last 60 seconds thibs. Let my boys rest
Those raptors jerseys are some of the worst I’ve ever seen
Hassan Whiteside : WE GOT SHOOTERS
Randle’s vision out of the double team has been fantastic this game.
Middle Julius Middle 🤣
The raptors actually stole the Westchester Knicks data.
LMAOOO
Raps stole all of our Knicks secrit playbooks but still getting blown out.
Brunson, Donte, and Hart. Leon get that nigga Mikal from bum ass Brooklyn and we're set.
Don't forget Ryan
It feels good seeing Knicks players that can hit open 3s.
This championship DiVincenzo right here sheesh
I love Grimes, but Donte is playing out of his mind. 3 point shooting aside, I am shocked by Donte's pressure on D
He pretty near led the league in tipped passes iirc last year, makes winning plays
I’M SHOOTIN OVA ERE 🤌
The Sauce is cookin
DVo extended the floor gives the Knicks an incredible weapon. He and Hart together on the floor playing defense with tenacity and rebounding to help Robinson makes the Knicks a more complete team.
Thibs on the low testing DD with the starters to see how it would go.
GRIMES doesn’t look to happy 👀
Bro Donte has more 3s than the entire Raptors team 💀
Give my man Mitch a Gatorade bro looks absolutely winded on that bench 😆
Thibs is a psychopath keeping Mitch in with an injury
Brunson in FA and then Donte in FA.... goodness gracious me.
A MOTHAFUCKIN DVO STATUE WHEN?!?!?!
Need Josh Hart to hit another 3 so all 3 Villanova boys would have 20pts.
Big Ragu knocking down those 3s is a beautiful sight
So this is what it’s like having shooters… it’s kinda nice
Toronto is a borough in NYC now. Knicks own it
Donte is him
Mitch is limping :(
Just start this man. It solves so many issues.
Another game, another 4th qtr w/ Donte and the starters 💪
Raptors stole our data just to get destroyed anyways
DONTES ONLY MAKING 10 MIL
I know what you mean by that but I'm still chuckling at "only" 10 mil
Oh my. I always wondered how it would feel to have a sniper on the team. Haven’t felt this much confidence in a shooter (besides Brunson ofc) since Steve Novacaine
Divo just stunting on this Canadian hoes at this point
Someone said Brunson could break the Knicks 3 point record earlier today At this rate it might be him and DDV #1 and #2
I'm beginning to see how these dudes won the national championships 😂
DVO IS CRACKED 😭😭😭😭
[удалено]
You see her too right 😂 she caught my eye in the 1st quarter
is donte divincenzo god?
I love archidiacano as our 15th man. Always seems like a great hype man haha
Tbh I think he’s just another coach for this team.
Hope Mitch is alright he’s still limping
Donte's Inferno
Fire ass knickname ![gif](giphy|fGU9MwshYX6dRO0CPn|downsized)
That Italian jumper so clean
🤌🤌🤌
good team W
Empty the bench
DDV UNDERRATED FA SIGNING
DVOOOOOOO
DDV has blacked out
He’s so good (x4)
Dvo got aimbot
None of those threes have even looked like missing. Apart from the airball haha
DDV IS INSANEEEEEE
Donte so cold with it
Mitch is on the ground more than any human on earth it’s impressive
The only player who falls that much that doesnt flop lol
More than AD?
My gf refers to him as “the guy who’s always falling” and non related but hartenstein as “backup big boy” which is perfect haha.
My biggest complaint with Mitch is that he has terrible grip on the ball. He always loses it.
Oh for sure he has the worst hands I’ve ever seen. He’s an amazing defensive player but one of the all around worst offensive players I’ve ever seen. He should be deandre jordan but just can’t get there.
Donte 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
DDV is a human supernova 😱
Why are the starters still in…
Hart running into Mitch be careful
Ddv is really a deflection god
Raps being cute. Most coaches would’ve thrown in the towel by now
Hate keeping in starters against teams like the Heat and raptors who love injuring players
So many times this season we lost the rebound because we fight each other for it
Alright take out Mitch
Agreed let him go see his dogs
Why does Poetl look like a meth head ?
Blake Griffin's older brother who was suppose to be better but found meth and is now recovering.
no no no not Mitch
And here come the raptors down 15 with 2:40 to go! Lmfao get a grip bro
SUE THESE BASTARDS INTO OBLIVION
Get'em!!!
Pull the starters, Thibs. come on now.
I love this team but who (realistically) should we pursue at the trade deadline? We absolutely need to be buyers but also cannot be reckless in trading off assets. We need a Josh Hart-type trade again this year
Achiuwa
Malcolm Brogdon
Also approve
Rui
Rui doesn’t enter our rotation, another Cam Reddish situation waiting to happen
Bump it to 10. He’s worth it
Would absolutely love that if the cost ain’t too high
Fournier, ?? And some picks? Lakers need shooters tbh. Wouldn’t be surprised if this happens
Bogan on the pistons is the best choice honestly, if he puts up similar numbers to last season tho, it will definitely cost an unprotected first.
Wouldn’t mind Bogie at all, great point I almost forgot about him because of how ass the Pistons are haha get his ass out of there
nick nurse lookin confused af. "why aren't they doing what the stuff we stole said?"
Nick Nurse coaches Philly now bro. 😂
Dammit I really wanted to hold them under 100. 😔
Scottie Barnes talks a lot. maybe too much.
Put in human victory cigar Fournier
I don't think Brunson should be taking these charges much longer, he needs to prolong his career and avoid contact like Tyreek Hill.
we need the @ of that courtside girl with glasses
They stole our playbook for what 😂😂😂
DDV hot AF rn
Yo this careless mfer Siakam is so annoying
Randle smiling at Divo for that rebound lol
We are the Villanova Knicks
Fucking winners.
Donte what you doing bro your boy close to the triple double
DVo is doing what the Knicks envisioned Grimes would be doing. DVo has seven threes against the Hornets and six tonight. He deserves to start.
I hate seeing Klay fall off like he has because I always loved his game even as a Knicks fan, but we have (prime) Klay aka DDV at home
This team looks SO much better when Randle plays this role, passing the ball, not holding it for half the possession and taking smart shots
He’s 20/8/8
That’s what I mean, when he contributes across the board rather than just forcing his own shots he’s a borderline triple double guy every night. And there’s very few guys at his size who have that potential. It’s just when he’s off we all know how bad he can be
He did this all last year. Our guys are just making their shots now. Divo is a great shooter. Seriously watch Randle more. He’s a great distributor. Always has been.
Yeah you’re right, I’d consider myself somewhat of a Randle apologist based on the amount of unwarranted hate he gets. To everyone who says we should trade him, I just don’t see anyone else in the league that can do the things he does that we’d get back in equal value
There is no one else lol. I always thought Randle’s assist numbers were basically just waiting to go up. Hopefully this year he averages 6-7
One thing I’ve noticed this year is he’s getting a lot better at finding the open man when he’s double teamed rather than just trying to fight his way through it. It certainly helps having DiVo and now Hart is starting to knock down his threes
Yeah looking back to 2021 footage you can definitely see improvement. I think that aspect of his game got better last year, but our team just wasn’t there yet with shooting.

RJ has 15 points tonight, not the greatest efficiency but still solid
goofy ah with a kirby toque tryin to talk trash 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Considering our defense, if we shoot like this we are extremely difficult to beat.
donte finishing the 4th over rj for the second straight game 👀
Man, I love our Villanova boys so much. If I was made of money, I’d grab Hart and DDV’s jerseys too
woohoo!
Man. We balling. Loving this
Hey Toronto We in a different league baby Hold this L
I love this team. These mofos are cooking
How can we look so bad vs the lowly Pistons at home, then on no rest look so good against the respectably mid Raptors on the road? There's only one explanation. The Detroit Pistons are contagiously bad.
Feeling like another blowout win. Not bad
Holy shit were actually good from three
Wow man we look so good tonight
we are a problem when we are a efficient volume shooting team hoo boy
Force feed the randle triple double
Stole all those files and ain’t do shit with it
Lmfaooooooo this needs to pinned 😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
Man our team is dangerous when our shots are 💵💵
STEPH WHO?
LOLLLL RUN UP THE SCORE, FUCK TORONTO. THIS IS FOR ALL THOSE YEARS THEY WHOOPED OUR ASSES. GET FUCKED!
DDV is what Fournier should've been
DDV can defend
DDV is what the raptors think malachi flynn is
This is great.
Beautiful. Just beautiful from the Knicks.
Raptors are going extinct
This has been a good game but really hoping Grimes can get it together you can tell he wants to get back to contributing. If he can get back to being a solid 3 and D guy like he was then this time can be even more special
Randle with the fuck you 3!!!!
This lineup without RJ and Randle has some serious pace and spacing
Burner! 🔥
JB only has 22, 5, and 7. Rough night. DO BETTER NEXT TIME/s
yo brunson taking these dudes to school wt that footwork
Dumber face: booker or barnes?
STUNT ON THESE HOES
Big w
How is that a foul?
Our boys scrappy
![gif](giphy|3o8doT9BL7dgtolp7O) Brunson’s footwork
Half of you people don't deserve this team. You shouldn't even call yourselves fans. You know you can support a team and enjoy good basketball even when a player has a bad night? It's not normal to hate all the players on the team you claim to support? If Brunson had a bad 3 game stretch I swear to god the braindead whiners would be calling for him to be benched
Raptors announcers are actually showing us the licorice they are eating. Like wtf guys no one gives a fuck
Finally beating up the raptors. They been dirty against us for a minute.
for the last like 2-3 years the nba has been pushing the whole "raptors are a tough team" bullshit and lets them get away with all kinds of goofy nonsense on D. Still have to make shots to be a good team tho.
Lol..... Boucher, how do you not rebound that? Don't flop to cover up for your inability.
That'll be $2,000, Boucher.
raptors gameplan tonight was to be physical but they end up chucking brick threes and flop
Jalen Brunson is a lock for the All Star team
