I agree he needs to get his confidence back, but last week against the Sixers and T'Wolves woulda been nice times to do that! We need smart play tonight.
Yo Jerian can play WAY better than this. He's never been a tentative player!!! Gotta let him play thru it.
Knicks won that quarter 27-26 . . .
I would like to see dwill again. We need energy in the fourth.
jerian looks like he is better from 3 quarter court than from (a standard) 3.

Jerian is still better than Sasha when his confidence level is low. He can do so many things that Sasha can't...push the tempo, drive, defend better...
Someone was asking why was KP pulled so early - that was a good change. Knicks played better with Lopez/Melo/Thomas. They should keep Porzingis out here at 5 all of the 4th Q and Williams, Thomas, Gallo and Grant. Then bring back in Melo, Afflalo. No more Calderon. Lopez depends on how Zinger plays in the 4th.

I think there are still only 4 or 5 games this season (out of 29) that Knicks didn't win at least 2 quarters . . .

If he can just play long enough to get into the game and play off instinct, he'll be OK. he's overthinking things and it's messing him up.

Sasha actually knows how to run the offense though.
Grant had great D on that last drive - just should've pulled that break up and held for that last shot IMHO.
I haven't been playing close attention but they've been light on the triangle tonight.
Am I missing it?
I say let's ride Lance to the win!

no he is not. Vucevic is just hit really tough shots.
There has been times where Rolo has peaked to give Calderon help and lost Vucevic which created space for him to get open

I agree he'll eventually he'll be okay. But his decision making is rough as hell right now.
Lance Thomas came to MSG to win tonight !!!!!
Knicks shooting even 50% tonight. Can't complain about that . . .

Case in point there: Sasha nor Jose can steal the ball from the opposing point guard and dunk the ball in the open court like Jerian just did. He needs to play!
