Hornacek gave Noah a try in the 4th and it didnt work out, but it had to happen sooner or later.

I'm not one to quote my own sh#T, but I posted this at halftime. I'm sorry but this is what's happening in the 4th quarter. OKC too strong and physical for us tonight, and their intensity lever was higher. They basically have surrounded Russell with high energy, hustle type bruisers who do all the dirty work.
Pretty much this.

With all of that if we get even a normal game from Melo and LESS F'N ISO, we win this game!
If Noah doesn't bring D and rebounding each game he can't be on the floor

So I found Noah wasn't in there banging who would you put in there?
Definite grab by Adams on Rose. Was that a clear path foul?

Clyde is a fan of the game and competition..You guys gotta be kidding..
Clyde made the most honest assessment in the 1st half tonight. He said he's never been so excited to watch the Knicks play in years than this year. He said all their games have been so much more entertaining. Win or lose, I agree.

Knicks were clearly out muscled..Who would you put in?
team needs to have a sit down with melo he should not be forcing his shot ever with the team he has around him. we had all the momentum and melo literally sucked the chemistry like a vampire out of the team. we should have beat OKC we have more talent. they have a freak in westbrook and a bunch of role players.

He wasn't talking about the sport..Breen was taking about the Knicks..Clyde is a big fan of the game no matter who plays..
This is a game we're the Knicks have to out finesse OKC. They can't bang and go ISO with them!!! Jeff has to fix this sudden shift to ISO BALL! That's not how this team wins and he knows it.

Maybe billy, maybe go small and force them to match. Because of Noah lack of offensive game if he doesn't bring positives on defense is a double whammy

Willy.
Why aren't we sustaining a lead? We always get ourselves back in it then we allow some scrub to get an open three and we are done, momentum out the window. Roberson a 25% three point shooter hit one on us. You put a hand in his face anywhere near him and he is bricking it. Really frustrating stuff.

Yep. We got out-banged tonight (Pardon the pun).
With Noah and Lee you got two guys out there on offense that are not aggressive and it makes it tougher for everyone else
Who else agrees that when we're trailing in the 4th, we should have Jennings on the court? He is another ball handler who can penetrate and break down a defense and is the best passer on the team. It just give us more options. Understand you need Lee on Westbrook defensively, but sometimes you need to change things up.
We got outworked pretty badly and we missed a bunch of shots tonight we usually make. Whether we were just off or OKC's physicality took us out of our game, I can't say. IMO this was a game we should have won but I guess you just have to give the other guys credit--unfortunately.

Maybe Willy but you can't go small..Kantor abused us on the inside..
