When the Knicks didnt shoot well last year, they had a chance bc they could rebound and play defense. This year they get their ass kicked if they cant make shots
BigDaddyG @ 11/27/2024 10:01 PM
Of course Grimes is OK shooting against us 😂
VDesai @ 11/27/2024 10:01 PM
Another humbling game for the work in progress Knicks

Holy shit-stew Batman --- what a disgrace that performance was.

Not sure I can manage how soft Bridges appears and his handle is absolutely atrocious --- did we buy a knock off Mikal?

OG playing on ice skates but on an uneven gravel driveway -- not even sure how to describe OG Khawai-anoby

Four 20pt scorers and Washington with 19, disgraceful. I would have chopped Grimey down before I let him hit that last open 3 and why is that bizatch even shooting? They clowned the Knicks tonight, no excuse, none.

Spencer Motherf***ing Dinwiddie also --- muddafudda

OG gets a pass. The Knicks brought in Brunson and KAT to pick up the slack when OG is off.

OG was clearly tired - no legs. Knicks need to figure out the minutes distribution

Yep - disgusting - happening too often and forget how bad we were offensively once again our wing-stop trio used mail-in voting.

I think he drank too much of his own Kool-Aid after the last game, spiked with crown. He looked drunk.

Does being tired lead to seizures and sudden collapses to the floor - asking for a friend?

That was some cocktail OG was drinking after last game -- still on a bender.

Has Bridges drawn 1 legit foul with the ball in his hands either getting to his jump-shot, shot faking or taking it to the basket all season???
VDesai @ 11/27/2024 10:08 PM
Dallas figured something weird out where if they let Jalen score, they knew no one would get back on defense.

Another tough game we just have to realize is part of the process. We need to win against Charlotte and then get some home cooking.
NYStateOfMind @ 11/27/2024 10:31 PM
They are 5-5 at home 1-7 on the road, too bad we play the Hornets at their home, lol.

Silver lining, the Wolves lost their 4th straight? JK True bright point, scored 76 in the 2nd half and won both quarters.

Lastly, some math, Utah destroys us, we destroy the Nuggets, then the Nuggets destroy the Jazz. That's basketball logic, goodnight.

Don't know if it's true, but seems right.
SergioNYK @ 11/27/2024 10:56 PM
Weird game coming off that historic scoring game. The ball is simply not going to fall every game and you are not going to score 145 and have 45 assists. This team needs to make defense and rebounding the priorities. Those two are given if you commit to do them.

I know most will point to the slow start offensively but the defense and rebounding was not good enough. You're not going to win on the road giving up 129 points on 57% shooting and getting outrebounded 43-33.

This team… I can’t really fall in love with it with this pathetic defense. What is the point of a “historic offensive night” if you consistently play like crap on defense and will keep alternating between “the Knicks have the best offense” to “crisis in NY, they need to come back next game with a better performance”? This team is trending in the wrong direction because a powerful offense is nice and flashy, but consistency on defense is what really marks a difference between contenders and pretenders. While it’s still too early to say they are the latter, they don’t seem to care about performing on defense like a contender.

It’s not about the loses, it’s the way they show up. So for their wins to happen the offense has to click and the defense has one or two good sequences but that’s it. But in the losses? Offense sucks but you have no defense to save you. I don’t like that. That’s not a contender. They have a long way to go and if their defense is basically one or two guys that have yet to play, then they are definitely pretending. I can’t believe that a Thibs-coached team is this bad on defense.

And Bridges consistently sucks. Shocking how bad that trade has been so far. Yes, in this game, the worst player was OG, which was a very quick and sobering regression to the means, but Bridges just consistently sucks.

Worried about Bridges? Absolutely. Worried about the defense? Definitely. This team is infuriatingly inconsistent.

Meanwhile, the Magic keep taking care of their business. They are clearly the third best team in the East. We seem to be in the “around .500” tier with our sorry defense.
