Knicks Seek Bounce-Back Win Against 76ers (The Knicks Wall)

After losing a heartbreaker against the Clippers yesterday, the Knicks will be battle-tested once again, facing a division rival in the second game of a back-to ...

Regardless of who defends who, the Knicks will need yet another masterclass from Jalen Brunson in order to compete in today’s game. But similar to what we’ve seen in the past, New York was unable to secure the rebound, and LA found Nic Batum open in the right corner to stick the game-tying three. Two players that were deserving of All-Star selections this season but ended up getting snubbed, this will be a fun matchup to watch, especially if Joel Embiid misses this game. After leading by three with just seconds left in regulation, the Knicks made a great contest against Paul George, who heaved from three to try and equalize the game. In overtime, the Knicks allowed the Clippers to score 19 points, attempting 18 free throws in the span of 5 minutes which helped seal the deal. There has been discussion of what the Knicks could be planning in lieu of the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday, February 9th, but nothing gaining much traction around a center. The defense has been a frequent topic for the team, especially since Mitchell Robinson left the lineup and there is significant uncertainty as to when he will return. Similar to the Clippers with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, the dynamic duo of James Harden and Joel Embiid among other offensive threats on the team are extremely adept at getting calls and heading to the free-throw line. It’ll be interesting to see who the Knicks choose to start at center in this game. Unfortunately, a last-second Nicolas Batum three forced overtime and the Clips ran away with the game in the final five minutes of play. I believe that Isaiah Hartenstein will get the start in this game. While the Knicks may have come back from down big against the Clippers in their last game, they made it tough on themselves by getting into that hole early on.

As a playmaker, I don’t think there’s anybody better in the league, as far as getting guys wide open shots and running our offense.” Everybody knows how to play the right way - if we can get stops, we can be extremely dangerous.” Joel Embiid led the way in that matchup, finishing with 35 points and eight rebounds. “It’s easy when you have a guy like Shake, who can play on the ball, off the ball, who’s unselfish, and knows how to play the right way.” Maxey said. “Tyrese is being aggressive, looking for his shot.

Season 2 was a depressing step back, and now Season 3 has represented a return to relevance, in large part because Rose gave Knicks fans something they’ve coveted for the longest time: For starters, given his history of injury and disappearing acts, the guy isn’t available nearly enough to be worth the trouble. Feeling exposed once again, the Knicks countered by signing Randle as a consolation prize and by issuing an apology to their customers. The Big 3 has become The Big Flee, and oh by the way, Ben Simmons just spent another game in street clothes. They’ve got a championship-level quarterback at age 26, and they’ve got Julius Randle back to playing at an All-Star level. It didn’t matter that injuries — both real and imagined — had knocked the home team down to eight available bodies.
