Smart play by Smart, he knew Harts tendency to go right and guessed right, it happens. Hart makes that play most of the time and finishes.

Jose is not as reliable as Kolek. He may at times provide a bigger jolt on defense than Kolek, but you can depend on Kolek to keep the offense on track. Not so much with Jose.

BlueKnickers @ 3/8/2026 5:00 PM
Anyway, the Knicks were fairly resilient in the 2nd quarter to keep the game from turning into a blowout

They did tighten up their defense and kept Luka in check

BlueKnickers @ 3/8/2026 5:09 PM
BTW, Kolek had the second most assists in 10 minutes in NBA history last game.

Yes, it was garbage time, but history shows that 8 assists in 9 minutes is not a common occurrence

Our play is sloppy and lethargic. It'll be tough to win this one unless we turn that around now.

I finally turn on second half and get to see Brunson dribble up court, not look to move ball, spin pivot 3 times at foul line, and fadeaway barely hit front rim.

Where is the last 2 weeks Brunson?

....seems like we were out enjoying the LA nightlife the night before...

Either that or daylight savings, mixed with a 3 hour time difference might have something to do with our lethargy

His contract with Brown was only for 3 games. He's an unrestricted free agent again

our offense is struggling, Brown is too stubborn not going to Kolek.

Doris and this fool don't even hide their Laker fandom. Every call is pro Fakers

Yes, this is now a problem

He just tapped Clarkson instead, oi

WP76 @ 3/8/2026 5:41 PM
Worst game (and worst shooting game) since, what, our last game against Detroit?

What was Clarkson thinking passing off the ball with so little time

Given the way we've played, they may have been too kind to us.

I think he is trying to be unselfish. He has been trying to look for assists ever since he was taken out of the rotation. The coaching staff might have told him to look to get others involved. He needs to be a gunner. He is coming off the bench. He needs to be like Vinny the Microwave

Some of these rotation decisions are just like Thibs with the deference to veterans over younger players when the younger player is clearly what is needed
BlueKnickers @ 3/8/2026 5:48 PM
This is not a comeback type of game. I don't expect an inspiring rally today
