Knicks · Playoff Game #2 Thread: Knicks host Alt, 730 TNT, MSG (page 2)

Q1 6:57
NYK 7 ATL 14

I don't care if we win - I still hate the Randle ISO with 4 guys standing around offense we run... especially when we have 2 non-shooters (Noel, Payton) out of the 4 remaining players. That makes things extra hard when the defense has 4 players available to focus on 2 actual shooting threats. Atlanta has 3-4 minimum and a speedy PG that can also shoot/penetrate. It's a setup to fail unless we shift the approach or shoot the lights out.

We can’t have Young guarding Bullock and not be able to capitalize

We getting ducked down.

AtlantA is a very long team.

Knicks over compensating on young

I said before the series that we struggle guarding the pick n roll and the Hawks are picking us apart running the PNR. Our weak side defender helps/cheats all the way into the paint leaving the weak side corner wide open. Trae is whipping a pass to the wide open player in the opposite corner. We scramble to cover the corner jumper, but one extra pass to the wing and the Hawks get a wide open 3 everytime.

If anyone thinks that in lieu of getting a real PG Randle can handle those duties, I give you this.

ALT playing better defense, offense and out coaching the Knicks

This. Though I thought we did a better job scrambling in regular season than we are now.

Where is Randle?

We are in this game, need to keep coming on after every Hawk run
