Yeah it is really frustrating to watch. I see it and I just think, RAMBIS.
Noah is so completely useless and KP can't buy a hoop. Even if it's a bad offense, without Melo we'd be down 10 right now.
We need drills for noah to make a layup with defender on him. i dont remember how many times i have seen him miss layups this season
O'quinn is so much better than Noah. I feel like teams instantly gain confidence against the knicks when Noah is on the floor because they know it's 4 on 5 out there. The game has passed Noah by I'm afraid.

Like who? So you dont want your scorers scoring? Its about our defense.

This. Should be our goal rest of year.

The only one who really benefits from the Triangle is Melo!

You can't convince me that Melo is the ONLY one who can score! Whenever we run PnR other guys get involved.
Noah with his first field goal in the 4th???? Bruh...
Don't look now, but that Knicks are playing great D--no points allowed yet in the 3rd pulling away!
BJ with the raiiiiiinbooooooow over Embiid!
If we can somehow figure this thing out on defense, we will win our share of games. Holding Philly to 35% shooting right now!

Did you see him freeze out KP on the elbow though?

PnR is good. With who though? KP breaks to 3pt line every time. Noah cuts but cant hit a lay up. Maybe KO. He can pop or finish.
But in this game you have to feed the hot hand. Specially if its the 26 highest scorer of all time!! And good teams get there good players rolling.

Gotta see this against a team with real threats on the perimeter!!! Don't get too excited 😊
Knicks with some suffocating D! Let's hear it for them, fellas!
Forgot I'd paused the game and was a couple of minutes behind...duh.
Noah looks much more valuable with some defensive speed around him. This Thomas, Holiday, Jennings perimeter unit hasn't speed.
No one likes to guard Ilyasova; may be b/c he's ugly or something.
