All Jake Paul fights are brain rot.
1) Brunson is a beast. Feel like he is forcing a little bit off the dribble against defenses intended to take him out of the game but he is still managing to deliver.
2) Bridges is legit. Keep feeding him.
3) OG got wronged. Love me my OG and those refs did him dirty. His post game is looking much improved.
4) We need a bench. Cam isn’t enough.
5) Kolek isn’t ready. Get him some GLeague run.
6) I love/hate Hart right now. Dude does everything on the court. But he’s a terrible shooter. I’m not calling to replace him, but I would be upset if he was our plug and play sixth man.
7) Hulk is still raw but love him.
8) I like Dadiet. Hope he gets a little more respect.
9) 4th quarters suck.

One reason is our clear #2 option with Kat/OG on the bench (Mikal) was running away from the ball and refused to even shoot down the stretch. His decision making is scary primarily because he looks scared.

Thibs rode Huk down the stretch and didnt bring back Sims. Huk defensive effort is legit. He does need to get better at boxing out and he needs some confidence on that jumper, but he is a real NBA player.

I need to understand why that other foul on OG was called away from the play. Ball eas being inbounded there. That WAS THE PLAY

I thought he completely hid from the ball down the stretch (very concerning) BUT he did seal the game with that block.
Outside of his brutal foul line extended 3's -- he's knocking shots down at high rate.
ZERO free throw attempts on 19 FG attempts and ~40 minutes of PT with Kat/Deuce/OG all on bench - very concerning.
Last year it was Grimes who never shot a FT - now we have Mikal who is probably an iron man because he avoids contact like the plague.

They were doubling the ball handler and instead of coming towards the ball we had guys camping out across the court. Knicks need to watch that tape, bc the way the handled that double was atrocious. Ball kept ending up with Cam. He took 2 bad 3's, but the one right off the offensive rebound wasnt a good decision as we needed to kill some clock in that situation.

Its wild. When he got to Brooklyn - the half season he was scoring 27 ppg - he got to the line a lot and hit like 90 pct. It was a big part of his game.
Guess who our next game is against?

Hopefully we get KAT and Deuce back.
I thought Pacome gave us nice minutes

With you on a # of your comments but let me add some of mine as well....
- too much slowing down the offense from Brunson. Hate watching him back across 1/2 court with the dribble and us start our offense with about 8 seconds on the clock leading to OG/Hart/Bridges panic decisions/shots.
- I didn't like Bridges game in terms of he hid from shots in 4th quarter and he rarely shoots a FT (won't mention C Thomas almost broke Chamberlains 100 point record (though nobody was stopping him tonight)
- OG -- I LOVE the way he plays and my heart is in my throat every drive he makes....collapsing to the ground
- regarding the bench --- Huck was GREAT, Pacome looked fine (why Thibs pulling him when he is scoring, boarding and blocking shots?)
- Agree Kolek has issue with limited shot bag and teams go right at him on D
- Why can't M Ryan get some minutes against weak ass Nets team on a night we run OG/Mikal out there for 40 each
- Hart blew last game with a bonehead foul. Tonight he got beat numerous times 1) not boxing out 2) falling asleep defensively and YES his offense and indecisiveness was a hinderance.
- Jalen way too slow initiating offense and basically creating for himself while others stand and watch
Again tonight we show no real desire to defend.
