I was watching league pass version w no commentary
Precious was butterfingers most of the game and very lackadaisical. He is going to earn more time on the bench
8/31 from 3 aint good enough
No killer instinct tonight. Dudsville
Im glad Mitch isnt seeing too much too soon. But we could have used him for some 4th quarter stops, rebounds. Deuce was having a good game, would have liked to have seen him subbed in sooner.
Hart -22 and Bridges -21. Well done
Eh, I'm not sure we can even say we're the top tier 2 anymore. This game is hard and this team is still a step away from the elite

I think the pacers are better. They are 15 and 12 vs 500 or better teams. We are 12 and 15.
Hart and precious today were beyond garbage....

We were missing an all star and made enough good plays to hang with a squad who could be in the Finals. Im just glad we hung in until the end. Lots of good individual performances, but not as a team, in the second half.
Maybe using the bench more in the second half might have helped. Couldnt use Mitch, he is minutes restricted for now.
Tough loss. Hate losing to Curry!
Hope KAT is OK! We missed him tonight especially during those cold droughts. Couldn't buy a bucket for awhile there in the 4th.
OG was great! Please stay healthy! Mitch is rusty. Had Nerlens Noel hands on some passes setting him up but he will be ok.
Everyone will give Curry the credit but it was his supporting cast that killed us. Those two Hield 3s really hurt and killed our momentum. Podziemski is really underrated. Game turned when we lost Santos off a made FT for a wide open 3. Curry then made a 3 putting them up 7 and we never recovered.
Annoyed we lost to LeBum and Curry again at the Garden. Those 2 just celebrate a little too much. Raymond and Butler also yap too much. Onto this 5 game road trip where we'll have a chance at revenge. I'd settle for a 3-2 trip.
No KAT, Hart is banged up. GS fully healthy. We are gonna drop some games and with KAT out tonight its not egregious. Dissaponting, but not unacceptable.
Something to understand -
Deuce had runners knee - his 3 pt shot fell off and so did his game
KAT had runners knee - his 3 ball went a way for a while and his scoring dropped
Josh has it now. He is not playing as well as he was playing. Still has flashes. Bad game tonight. Lot of players on this team have had bad games this year.
OG is revived.
Where is Bridges? We never know what to expect from him

He's mostly missing the guy he is supposed to be guarding - he's a complete sieve and he's good for seemingly 3 bonehead TO's every night.
I'm starting to convince myself Josh is an empty stats guy because I'm seeing offenses completely leaving him open and I'm seeing his D deteriorate right in front of my eyes. Yes he crashes the boards BUT at the expense of defense and boxing out.
I don't know --- I have always loved Josh but damn his D and decision making are pissing me off.
Biggest thing watching this game and Greg Anthony said it very early in telecast. The Knicks don't have guys who can create shots.
Outside of Brunson who is really a score-first, score-second and pass 3rd pg -- we virtually have nobody who can create off the bounce without the fear of bad things happening.
The hands on OG, Mitch and Precious are reminding me of Paddle Hands Nerlens Noel.

Yep and early he had clean offensive rebound in hands - was thinking he was going to do something with it and GS stripped it right out of his hands. Thibs quick timeout and Mitch back in for Precious. Precious panics around the rim - literally just flips the ball at basket.
Was hoping he would evolve but he's been poor most of season.

Definitely NOT the ass to compare their play to tonight. Look up people of Walmart. You will find more apt comparisons there.

KAT doesn't box out either. It's my biggest problem with this team. Closely followed by us not taking advantage of Brunson and KATs passing
What's concerning me is the 3pts % and attempts. We have plenty of good shooters on the team and it's actually becoming a weakness instead of a strength.
We have regressed each month on 3pts%, that's wild. Most of the other stats as well by the way. Strength of schedule plays a part but we're not trending in the right direction.

It's almost like the minutes police were right.

Good point. But KAT was probably thumb related. Strength and conditioning need to adjust, it seems
Felt we lost this, more than they won. We were a step slow and missing our 3s
I feel if we had Huk’s energy out there last night things may have been better.
Also Josh needs to hit his shots. Teams are going to double off him
