He played way too many minutes. I miss Acy.

seriously WTF

Only saw the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. Was it back and forth for the first three or did the Knicks blow a lead?

Knicks blew the third as usual. gave up lead, hawks took over. Knicks fought hard in the 4th. Stat was very good on offensive boards so many 2nd, 3rd chances, but totally discombobulated offensive execution meant all the fight was energy spent, but not used to good effect. very puzzling lineups by Fish in second half and no apparent effort by coach to rein in spastic playing and run real offensive sets.

It's just being lazy. Trying to get hot on a dead jump shot. A drive would lead to possible foul shots and a chance to warm up at the line.
