Getting Ben Simmons vibes

Imagine I told you Brunson would be 6/7 and Deuce would be 5/5 in the first half

He's shooting well, but JB not trying to get his teammates going is biting us in the ass. What he did early after coming to NY.

that is because our players are not moving. they look like they have feet in wet sand.

Long 4s result in s lot of long rebounds...

Imagine spending the whole off-season obsessing about how to beat Boston and then going into Game 1 with no plan at all on how to defend them
GustavBahler @ 10/22/2024 8:30 PM
Towns playing like he did as a rook.
Rookie @ 10/22/2024 8:34 PM
Situation normal - we suck again
VDesai @ 10/22/2024 8:35 PM
Bridges has to play up on Tatum. Right now he isnt shooting or defending. That was about as bad a half as you can play as an NBA player.
VDesai @ 10/22/2024 8:36 PM
No Precious or Mitch is a major issue. No crashing boards.

Damn. I thought the days of teams setting franchise records against us were done for a while.

Listening to Shaq has done more harm to my brain than cheap whiskey during college.

"When you think about the Knicks, you think about offense. You think about defense."

GustavBahler @ 10/22/2024 8:39 PM
Bridges getting back to playing elite D should help him gain more confidence in his shot.

Celts - 17 3s over 50%
Knicks 4 for under 30%

Wouldnt mind Kolek helping get the 2nd unit going.

We scored 55 points, the problem is our defense

I see Hukporti on the bench, he must be active.

We’ve never succeeded under Thibs when we’ve veered away from that style and identity.

We never defended the 3 well. This has been my issue with Thibs defense for years. You look at the years of low 3pt percentages against us and people don't realize they missed a lot of wide open 3's. Guess what, teams are hitting them now.

Exactly...we have given up a ton of open 3s over the years...however, I will give Thibs props for adjusting in the 2nd quarter. I noticed Sims and Towns weren't playing as much drop coverage and they were trying to blitz the PNR and chase them off the 3 point line....would like to see more of this.
