Is this bad . . . or is this strange (?)

I mean . . . really.

This was a 22-22 team 4 weeks ago.

I'm not understanding this . . .

Slan has looked awesome.

Couple of things.

1- Clearly coaching wasn't the major problem. Rambis hasn't made any difference in regards to the team's play overall. Yes the offense looks better initially but it's all come back down. We're looking exactly like the same net team on a major losing streak who can't beat anyone.

2- Jose's inability to score or do anything but shoot 3's is clearly showing. He's just outmatched.

3- The 2nd unit guys don't really fit in with the offense. They're lost.

I'm torn as to what to say at this point other than the season looks over. This is getting ugly. Sucks to see unfold after such a solid start.

Somehow I think Melo ends up playing over 40 minutes because it's a back to back.
Chandler @ 2/19/2016 9:15 PM
It's fugly. But there's time. We're losing this more than they're beating us

Time to wake up

Dumb foul over the limit. We'll get it under 10 by the end of qtr. Big boost.
SocraticBallin22 @ 2/19/2016 9:17 PM
BTW, Grant doing a good job at the point penetrating and kicking.

One thing I've noticed is the Nets have been really grabby with their hands on D. Every time any of our players is moving without the ball they kind of grab at their arms or body. The refs are just allowing it all night. They're not letting any cutter or post player move cleanly. It's a good tactic if you can get away with it.

How are we losing to the Nets man.

Knicks give me high blood pressure

Team had hit a peak.
Team lost Melo.
Then they came down a few notches.
Melo comes back but the team just isn't the same.
Hasn't been able to get back to that level on defense or anything.

They're now playing like a team who knows the season is winding down and losses are piling up. Confidence is shot. The veterans like Melo, Afflalo and Jose need to carry the team up in times like this, but only Melo is doing a good job in that regard.

Well the Knicks margin for error is razor thin so if they aren't clicking any team can go on a run.

This is so frustrating to watch. I truly thought we were gonna make this game look easy and run away with a win but it's the same exact team we've seen for the last 15/20 games.

I agree with this but it is what it is. The players are trying to come off the screens but they are getting man-handled. Play through. This offense needs some staggered screens

Why don't any of our guards have a floater?? Every damn guard in the NBA should have a floater.

Yes!!!!
