I sadly had to work during the game (time and a half tho). I can’t believe Cody played 45 minutes in a game that didn’t go to OT. Also, it’s pretty crazy that Miles’ 20 point quarter isn’t even our first 20+ quarter by a player *this month.* Even if this team hurts me sometimes, this is the most satisfaction from basketball I’ve gotten since at least 2016. Maybe ever, frankly.

What does bonk mean

BONK go to hornet jail

**B**onking **O**n **N**ew York **K**nicks

Cody’s rejection was the thing that wet dreams are made of.

Miles Bridges said loud and proud "Hey I've got 15 on under here! I've got 15 on!" while pointing at his Charlotte Hornets jersey with one arm, and Kemba wrapped up in the other. Imma fuckin cry man

Need someone to clip it seriously got tears in my eyes Edit. It’s on the hornets twitter for those interested. Still insane miles is the longest tenured hornets and only one who played with Kemba.

where on the twitter?

[My mom sent me this lol](https://twitter.com/thejacksondylan/status/1483172482672644096?s=21)

i’m crying. we need kemba to come back on vet minimum or something for that extra locker room leadership. love him so much

That’d be so awesome. Imagine Kemba, Miles, and LaMelo winning a playoff series together. It’d be the absolute peak of the new Hornets era without a doubt. Just need Marvin and Big Al to come out of retirement and get a series win in Charlotte, too. It should’ve happened while they were here :(

We need Kemba to end his career here

We could easily do a Plumlee + Ish for Kemba & Mitchell Robinson trade.

Bro I’m gonna cry seeing kemba and miles

Dude, same. I hope they find a way to bring him back to Charlotte. He’d be great on this team off the bench.

Miles went so off, that he overshadowed the 22 Rozier point game

7 assists with 0 turnovers too, good overall game for Terry.

BING BONK

Come to your real home Kemba

The end of the Knicks bench has made more threes than their entire rotation

Holy shit, we are really putting the garbage in "garbage time"

Ish is pulling every mid range jumper available to him

Only 7 turnovers, no LaMelo. Something tells me those two arent mutually exclusive

I dont think you used that phrase right. Of course they arent mutually exclusive, they just happened together

It is this season's knicks though. I'll make a call when we play the celtics, who are about our level.

Ish Smith might have the ugliest jumper for a point guard in the NBA

Thor putting himself in the game

Thor sighting

False alarm

Damn Cody

Why no Bouk, JB?

miles>prime mj

Congrats to Miles. Played a hell of a game.

CAREER HIGH LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

64.7% vs 47.4% FT% - am i watching an NBA game?

Don't take him out JB plz just this once

Holy shit Miles

Reddish is going to take 25 shots a game with Knicks.

Where the MB doubters at now!

MB had doubters in this sub?

There it is! Career high 38!

Miles really just LeFuckYouThree’d. We have baby Lebron

Need a high flying dunk to hit 40 for Miles

WTF Miles <3

Holy shite

Best bonk of the season. I love watching the Knicks get cooked in MSG.

New York has gone fully biblical.

Give Miles the ball!!

This win is gonna be huge when it comes to seeding.

I’m a bad fan and thought the game started at 7 but let’s fucking go miles and why is melo out ?

Non Covid illness. Could likely play if we needed him

Non-COVID illness apparently. He's available to play. Probably just resting him if they can.

he’s sick non covid

Sick, not covid. He was available but hasn’t played since we haven’t really needed him

This games bonk should say home alone 2- bonk in new york

Get miles 40

OMG MILES

Oh my Miles

Yes sir

Holy hell Bridges is electric

Coach waits too long to put the young guys in the game. Its over. Ease them into the game!

agreed, it feels unnecessary to be running guys 40 minutes when we're up 17 with 3 minutes left

Right. It’s over. There’s nothing else to prove. Let Bouk get run in his home town. & the other guys chance to play under the lights.

I can't wait to rewatch this game. Bridges looks like fire.

lol, refs got in their mandatory 3 sec violation on the hornets

Miles playing a different game out there

I bet we see Bouk after 5:00 if the large lead holds

hopefully rooks get some garbage time, should be a easy W

[удалено]

We play to the comp

We simply need to play the rookies more. Bouknight and Thor (to me) are simply better options than what we use rn. The bench is a combined 7 pts on 3/15 shooting!

Bouk is a more dynamic option than Ish but I get why they play Ish over him. McDaniels needs to break out of his slump or else Thor will take his spot

They are shooting 20%! JB simply tell me Bouknight isn’t ready in this scenario. Cost us the Magic game IMO.

You think Bouk's defense is any good? I doubt it at this point. He probably gets some points but I would expect him to give up more.

I don’t think it can be overstated how big of a problem it is to get no offensive production from the bench. This is the squad that scored 1 basket in 6 minutes in the 4th quarter against Orlando. I just think it’s ridiculous he doesn’t get a single minute in games like this.

At this point I fully trust JB with all player development decisions.

Knicks offense is horrendous

*Knicks is horrendous

i wanna see bouk out there cmon mannnn

lol Knicks fans gon' pull up on us, saying we bribed the ref

McDaniels feels like he ahould be better than he his, he’s got length, quickness, some handle, some athleticism, a decent shot, and decent defense. But it just never seems to translate onto the court. Guess he probably just needs to get stronger and smarter if he can.

It’s nice that while LaMelo is available we can have him rest due to playing so well

That's straight up

JB, the current lineup aint it

LMAO QUICKLEY I'LL TAKE IT

hmm, couldn't get a clear enough look at that 3pt foul to know if it was warranted

Thor more useful than Jaylen when he’s playing like this.

Knicks fan here and I am coming to say Miles Bridges is awesome and I’m glad he is going off. I argued with someone about him being an all star over Tatum and they didn’t agree. Hopefully this does wonders for his selection. Hats off to him, can’t do anything else then appreciate how he’s worked to become a better player since joining the league.

What a game from Miles so far

This could be the statement game Miles needs for an ASG push if he ends up with 40+ or a triple double or something

Give the ball to Miles all 4th quarter and let him work

Can you believe how amazing the future of this Franchise gon' be with Peak Miles & Lamelo? Under good FO decisions, this is honestly going to be a Championship competing duo.

We really just need a solid big in the mix to clean up mistakes, grab boards and be a rim runner. Sort of like Mitchell Robinson.

i'm low key hoping the Knicks pull a little closer so Miles has to get 45+

Hornets leading by one Miles Bridges.

I just want Miles to drop 40 tbh

MIIILESSS

If Miles doesn’t come out of this game with a triple double or new career high in pts, I’ll be sad

What’s his career high?

35

35 - got a decent shot at it, I'd say

35 he's 2 away

35 I believe

Miles I love you 😭😭

Terry is cold now as a paper coat in Alaska

Lmao what the hell Bridges? That was bizarre but I'll take it

Wtf was that Miles 🔥🔥🔥

wtf Miles lol

Wtf was that lmfao

Yo, how he do that lol.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT MILES LMFAOOOOO

Of course I picked the magic game to go to this year lmao at least we turned it around today

Thank you for your sacrifice

Randle had Melo sign a jersey for his son 😂. The kids love lamelo so much even if ur dad is in the nba

Pls tech these fools refs

How can penguin yell all that crap at the ref but Cade Cunningham points and is tossed for his 2nd tech.

You mean Kelly Oubre?

Happened to Cade the other day. But you are right about Oubre as well.

Cade doesnt have knockout gas in his umbrella

This is a great game so far, and without Lamelo!! Love our guys :)

Weird that we are getting good calls

Terry is the goat. So happy we locked him up and he’s had 2 seasons now where he’s shown how good he can be

We didn’t talk enough about holding them to 44 in a half

Good point. D is really active today. Rotations are tight.

sadly im getting the knicks broadcasting team its never the same.

luckily we can sometimes hear Eric in the background

i like how they play with a chip on their shoulder from last game. Good ass mentality

Agent of chaos Cody Martin

great chase down D by Cody

let Randle shoot 3s all game

Love hayward attacking the basket after the near miss on the 3 prior

Tougher than turtle jerky lmao

Imagine hitting a shot in a close game then thumbs downing ur own fans when they cheer. Just gotta be the lamest mentality

I'm ootl. Who did this?

Randle

Did he do it again ?

No just bringing it up because it’s truly the lamest. Knicks are coping so hard not turning on him completely

Anyone know if melo warmed up at halftime just in case we need him?

He did warm up

havent been keeping up is lamelo injured?

he has a non-covid illness. they said he's available but he hasn't played

melon flu game?

Fournier is awful

God the r/nba thread is somehow using this Miles game to shit on him and the hornets. Saying we are going to overpay him after this and he is not worth it. Honestly, why do people feel the need to talk about teams that they don’t even watch. It’s crazy af. Like, why wouldn’t you say, “Hornets fans, do you think Miles is worth a max deal”? Someone said we should go ahead and trade him!? Like for what and for why? These mfs. I don’t even know why I go there.

To be fair, that person is getting downvoted to hell. The sub overall agrees that Miles is real good.

That sub is like NBA Twitter I don't take them seriously, just laughs

Miles, Terry and G are going to play 40+ if bench can't contribute.

How was the first half? Anything crazy happened? I missed the 1st half

Miles 28 points

he said crazy things, not things that happen every game

All I ask for today is a miles 40 point triple double and a win. It’s not much.

NBA TV guy about Miles Bridges: "There's something in the water in Michigan" ..........

Miles is literally from Flint too.

It was Smitty, he is also from Michigan.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

BRUH

No way

Aint no way😭

Bench needs to step up Jalen and pj stinking it up so far

When do we get Oubre back? I miss him coming off the bench

Prolly this week

It’s frustrating how pj seems to mentally check out when his shot isn’t falling, so many bad turnovers or stupid fouls

I think he been ok so fair today but yes I agree when his shot doesn’t fall it affects him too much but sure that will come with age

He’s been terrible today, missed every shot and picked up 3 fouls immediately

Dude is playing like a 34 yr old vet 😭

People talk about his lack of size but what really kills him is he has no athleticism or bounce

So true. When Cody’s shot doesn’t fall he’s still a defensive god. We need that type of attitude.

Seems to be this is just who he is. Hasn’t show any hunger to get better like Miles since he’s been here

I wish I could hear EC going crazy over miles. But being at the game is also good

Did you see Gordon talking shit to that fan courtside?

No I didn’t haha when?

I want to say mid way through the second.

Miles is so elite, been a huge fan of him since he was drafted

45 pt first half for Miles+Terry. That’s insane.

What a gaudy first half for Miles. Holy hell. These are the types of games that might help him sneak into the all star game

S C A R Y T E R R Y

That was fun.

Also the lamelo fans are gonna be salty as fuck lol with him not playing

Is he hurt?

He is “sick “ but available to play but I bet he is actually sick and could play if we really needed him hence why he is on the bench and available to play but jb doesn’t really want to risk it and just give him a game off like

Wtf Miles? Go off bro.

Solid half

28/8/4 and +25... Miles had a game in the first half lmao

Pay that man
