KAT played big.
We need to get OG involved.
Think if we shoot better from three and stay with Champaignie I’m the second half, we win.

Brunson carried us for stretchs in that 2nd quarter. We need him to do that when our offense stagnates, which it did

I know this is spilled milk but as much as I liked the Alvarado acquisition...those resources should've been used to get Saddiq Bey instead. I think he could've been our Champagnie but off the bench. That size and toughness would be more useful deep in the playoffs

I agree w this to a large degree. Brunson is a tough call but we need to get into our sets sooner. I don’t think the SA guards are experienced enough to deal with brunsons foot work. But we can’t have him hog the ball.

SA showed their hand some playing wemby close to KAT and not cheating on hart. I suspect they want to take away kats passing but they’re giving him drives.

It will be interesting to see if they stick w that

Sometimes you got to take matters into your own hands. Next man up mentality!

I’m glad Jose hit some shots but he’s a disaster otherwise. Does 0 as a pg and what’s worse he wakes up the opponent with stupid trash talk that he can’t back up. Let ur game talk

Spurs are killing us on fast break points other than that, the game is even other than free throws which we can’t control. Both teams are fouling but only one team is getting in foul trouble. Refs took Hart out of the game. Knicks need to embrace the fact that they are going to get called for fouls. Lay some wood, make them hurt

I think Jose is toast. Small PG's don't have long shelf lives and I think he's close to the end of his utility. I don't mind him on the minimum as a 3rd stringer ala Cam Payne

Wouldn't mind running some plays for Mikal with Champagnie on him.
