STAY ON YOUR MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't fall back on 3s and let Schroeder get an open 3, sloppy D on doubles and picks all night. Fake wasted comeback. Shat start to this game.

Guys we had all the looks. Mikal needs to make one of those

This was going 7

...and, of course, the punk hits a dagger three.

I am caring less about this round because we look like trash. We getting swept the if we even make it past this round. It sucks to feel this way after last season.

No one except JB stepped up in that 4th quarter. So disappointing.

They aren’t giving him the lane, and he isn’t hitting 3s. Better spacing might help.


The point bringing him in was for him to provide spacing.

The thing is he does. Its Hart who cancels that out.

How many times did he touch the ball in the 2nd half? How many PNR's did he and Brunson even attempt in the 2nd half?

KAT can't do it by himself. Not giving him a pass though, that was an anemic performance.

Other than JB, no one had the offensive attack button tonight. This was very winnable, what a waste to these punks. Who can play tough D if they know it won't be called. Terrible 3 hours wasted. Goodnight.

Bridges surprisingly did, but it was overshadowed by his clutch time bricks.

Gotta steal one on their court now.

Our only way to win is if we are hitting outside shots. The paint is clogged most of the game because of how much Hart plays. Until Thibs figures this out we are capped. We saw how good our offense can be before teams started hiding bigs on Hart. We was an NBA record level offense.

He’ll of a bounce back game by Cade. Have to find a way to make things tougher for him.

It's funny, Thibs is always saying players need to do what the gane tells them to do, meanwhile he seems to ignore what game is telling him...

Good point.

Most teams made a deal at the deadline, but the Knicks did nothing to help. Hart should be the 6th man, Mitch offers very little on offense, Shamet/Deuce/Cam rarely are consistent. Bench 35-8. Kal like 2 pts in the 2nd half. They were more physical than the Knicks, yet had 15 more FTs. Killed on the boards when they were short a big man. This Knicks team is flawed and poorly coached. Pathetic game.

We don't need a deal. We need a coach who is not stuck in his ways.
