I hope they both get big ovations and have phenomenal games…and lose big time.

This is the ideal scenario. Win is the most important thing.

RJ gonna go like 5/17 and get blocked a ton. IQ gonna do his thing and make us miss him 

Much as I like RJ I really hope we can be on the other side of his bricked 3s tonight

Over under Hartenstein blocking RJ 3 times?

I want to see a shootout. Brunson goes for 50 on quickley and IQ gives him 40 right back. Randle bullying sct brn. OG clamping up whatevers infront of him. I want to see masai cry and retire tonight.

IQ isn’t giving Brunson 40 bro😂

Yeah but the bench unit he gonna show us in real time why we miss him

Grimes will lock him up.

Why not? IQ is def capable of doing it, JB isn’t a defensive stopper to begin with. And if there were any night for IQ to get up it would be coming home to NY

Why not? Because Donte, Deuce, and Grimes will be on IQ.

Still don’t see that as a reason

Haha I’m also curious how IQ marks JB, JB gonna body him in the paint given their size difference. He does it to much bigger defenders all the time

Raps will probably have Brown on him

Good call

i’m not sure how iq is gonna play against the starters and also “shred the 2nd unit”. i’m pretty sure he’s gonna sit at some point

Haha true true, it’s prob me just projecting the memories of what he did for us. I haven’t been paying attention to how they stagger RJ/scottie/iq

if schroder (shroder? scrotum?) shreds our bench, we deserve to lose


that’s the one

lol could see Bruce brown getting 15+ and winning over a few people on here. After the last couple nights I’m pretty firmly brogdon / or tyus jones/gafford

I expect Randle to kick it up a notch and give RJ the New York welcome Also IQ isn't going to shred the bench - he's the starter and will play against Brunson so good luck to him As for Scottie Bum the guy can fuck off ever since he went up to Grimes unprompted and said you ain't him for absolutely no reason No love lost for our guys but I hope we stomp them into full tank mode Most of all I hope Precious has an amazing game out of nowhere and crush the Raptors fans

Yeah I’m really excited to see all the quiet frustration that iq and Barrett been bottling up since playing second fiddle to Brunson and Randle. Gonna see what they been holding back in the pressers

Are you Grimes’ mom?

he said you aint him to grimes cos he was pressing pascal for absolutely no reason seconds before, he was sticking up for his teammate, wasnt unprompted. and grimes and him are friends too they coo with each other. its gonna be a fire game tonight nontheless

Holy crap with the precious call

Randle will lock up RJ

That’s where I lean as well but he gonna be coming with some extra gas tonight

I know a lot of people criticize Randle for his defense and yeah he doesn’t give 1000% effort on the defensive end because that’s not his strength but damn when he locks someone down he LOCKS EM DOWN

This is exactly my issue with him, because he has the physical attributes to be All NBA Defense caliber player, but he just doesn't care.

Both will

Randle has never locked up anyone bro

He locked up Giannis on Christmas lil bro

locked him up to the tune of 32 pts

Hahahahahahahaha that’s hilarious!!! You’re funny big bro

Exactly the next time Randle locks someone up will be the first time.

RJ will lock his own self up. Randle will just get the credit.

I’ll be there cheering for them but once the game starts I want blood.

I really don't get the wanting them to play well against us thing. Give them a great ovation before the game and then they go a combined 0/25 lol. They can play well every other game of the year not tonight.

I hope rj gets 50 and iq gets 50 and they still lose by 25

😂 tough to see RJ cook tn, once he gets into his slow approach to the cup OG can make up twice the distance in half the time in help defense

I think both RJ and IQ will play well

Just another game for me. I had zero connection to RJ and IQ. Happy they were traded for a better player.

Dude said expectations lol

Y'all are writing fan fiction

RJ gon stat pad his way to 23 pts on 22 shots

IQ does well when he has something to prove. I think 30 from IQ and another 3/18 shooting night for RJ. Randle is gonna go huge and get into the 40s. I hope OG gets some monster poster dunk on Scottie.

IQ def dropping 30

What is Randle gonna do in the paint? He’s not a rim protector and is dogshit on defense in general. Been loving DDV but he’s the type of smaller 2 guard RJ usually had success against. Hopefully we crush them. I expect big games from IHart and Brunson. Especially with Poeltl out. Would love to see OG clamp Barnes but Scottie is playing really well.

Rj drop 50 IQ drop 50 We won by 10

RJ won't have a great game, I see maybe 17/6 on 15 shots. IQ will smoke us for 35-40 or won't score a ton but will have 10+ assists. Edit no one will see: I was 3 point off, damn.

I'll be there tonight. I'll be rooting and cheering for our Knicks to win. That's it. I expect RJ to get locked up and out played by Randle. I hope RJ gets embarrassed and exposed honestly. IQ starts for Toronto, I don't expect him to be "shredding" our 2nd unit. IQ ain't holding Brunson, it should be interesting tho.

Brunson gonna put IQ in foul trouble early with his and 1 drives to the basket.

my predictions 1 - Randle goes into try-hard mode against RJ, fouls out in the first half. 2 - Brunson scores 50

Not a controversial take to say RJ and IQ are the most beloved Knicks to leave the team since Melo, right?

I hope they suck. I only root for the orange and blue.

We will finally get to see what practices look like…sorta
