Yeah, at least we can make comebacks, like in the loss to Boston, in the loss to Atlanta, etc.

I have no problem with that tho. Better than just getting blown out and not trying. They could EASILY have won both of those games.

A loss is a losss is a loss...

After so many years of trying but failing to win, it kinda loses its charm. Yes, this is practically a bench comeback, but still, hard to be excited about this team, no matter how many comebacks they attempt.


Even if the Knicks win a game like this..There is no take away from this game..If you have fresh legs you can compete because no def nose is being played..

Disagree since our younger players learn from this.

Yet yesterday we had fresher legs and still laid a rotten egg. The Knicks are unpredictably bad.

So true, we look so much better as of late when he has gone down regardless of whether we won or not

BJ is not looking around for his teammates. He missed quite a few good looks for teammates. Rose was streaking unguarded and BJ never looked. Just jacked a 3!

I don't blend old teams with new teams. This team is on its own path and they have a lot of younger guys still learning and 10 new players overall.

Yet they surprisingly exhibit same bad habits from past Knicks teams.

That is just coincidental tho. This team has more potential than this. Hopefully they regroup back at the Garden 2017.

Excuses galore! We always have a good excuse to lose.

Is that an excuse or just the truth??? I mean at some point you just have to accept that it was a tough game to win minus that much on a back to back. They played hard.

First time in 2 weeks was able to watch without urge to throw up...
Harden is too much... 53/16/17... but otherwise good game without 2.5 starters and Kyle..

Well, teams always have to overcome adversity to get wins. We use them as excuses because lately someone has been missing in a game. But even when they have been all, they have continued to play bad so...

Their record is impressive, Harden too and Mike D's decision to play him at PG is brilliant.

We try to outscore most teams with our disappearing defense. They actually do that better than us and win.


Houston have 21 wins against losing teams..
