Barrett’s slump was really only like 2 games to be honest. He just hasn’t taken that next step until tonight.
Quinn Snyder is out there…
Just going to keep saying this
Knicks need their own Tatum and Brown. If only RJ can shoot consistently and Cam can live up to his potential
Those 2 guys in Boston are just too good. They take turns dominating. Knicks defense lacks but they aren’t playing a bad game. Those guys are just better.

Like I said, cant use the glass
Just a bad play around. No need for him to iso at that point. Well, this loss isn't as bad as the others. Saw some promising things.
RJ cant use the glass on good looks either. Has to learn to be able to make a running bank shot either way.

You can't make the case it was all the games. Think this is the first night where he shot above league average.

Those 2 are like brown and Tatum if they never hit their potential. They can still get there though. Especially barrett. No reason he can’t get to brown level by age 25.

Udoka being hired in season is the exception to the rule. Wouldnt mind Snyder being considered for the job next season. Did a good job in Utah, they needed a fresh start.
Difference between Randle and Tatum, Tatum gets away with everything a clear take foul no call, Randle actually makes a play on the ball and gets called for a flagrant 1… total BS
Bastuhn 52% from 3. Good night

We were close to the very bottom of the league in the sheer volume of 3s teams take against us. Pretty sure this game put us at the bottom.
Thibs isnt striking fear in players who dont play D like he used to. Hope he can change that.

Randle I think has earned that because he is always complaining. He got hammered a few times, nothing called.
Been 1 of my 2 main issues with him since his COTY season. It takes awhile but people eventually see why I point out issues and mistakes even if we win games. Teams missed open shots all year but once the playoffs started they made them. I don't pay close enough attention to other teams but once you are a Knick I notice all your flaws because I care. His defense is just pack the paint and scramble to open shooters and hope they miss.

Yeah that was the worst 3 point defense I’ve ever seen, truly awful… when you score 115+ pts per game you should win the game…
Thibs on the hot seat, I think so…

In addition to this, I think Thib's defensive scheme is why scrubs always kill us. They might suck in comparison to their contemporaries but they are still NBA players. If you constantly have them in positions where they have open shots or where they can attack a defender who is scrambling to recover they will make you pay. They are still some of the best basketball players in the world.
Teams are just saying it now. This is hilarious. I am sorry but he has to go.

Did he say, "Some open spaces" .. 27-51 52% from 3's
Knicks played NO perimeter defense !!!

The fact that Celts took 51 3s and hit 52% is the entire difference in score. I’m pretty good with how the Knicks otherwise played.
More upset with the second unit. Might be time to unleash McBride.
Glad ef is a cheerleader and ill bet that boston never hits 3s like that again the whole season

Barrett's 4th quarter performance has been worthless on offense/defense from not playing team-ball, the individual ISO scoring hasn't been working for him and Bully-Ball Randle to win games in the 4th quarter in a long while. And neither has the two Knicks players defending opponent top scorer in the 4th quarter. Flagrant in the 4th quarter SMH
Randle 29 pts in 39 minutes, and Barrett's 9-15 for 27 pts in 35 minutes did not put a dent in the Celtics high scoring in the 4th quarter or the Celtics scoring 101 pts in 3 quarters. A no defense game Boston 133 - Knicks 118
