Not actual play, but the absence of it?

Funny, we win 8 in a row, our defense was tops in the league, and Kat got very little love. Its not his specialty. His defense improved, his offense efficiency was great. Granted, Mitch's play is a big part of it. But he plays 20 minutes. Some of that is with Kat.

OG gets little love unless he makes a big play.
We single out Mikal if his box score is not great even after a win.
In the streak,, Brunson had some stinkers.
But......
others stepted up. Including KAT!

If we are to contend it will be with everyone doing their fucking jobs!

I know these games don't mean shit come playoff time but I can't get over how badly they have beaten us. I thought Brown coached a really bad game and Brunson had one of his worst games as a Knick. Most surprising was Mitch unable to grab rebounds and got beat to them in his area which never happens. Most disappointing was the defense. We went right back to the poor effort, poor communication and poor execution. And it was everybody! Can't say anyone played well or gave an honest effort on defense. I know it's a long season and these games will happen from time to time but considering how badly they embarrassed us in that first game I was expecting a better effort and urgency. Both games they have punked us and it almost looks like we're scared of them and their physicality.

Really hope this doesn't trigger another long losing streak.
