Surprised that Shumpert never got matched on Wade who abused Fields esp. in the first half. He did do a reasonable job on LBJ when matched on him. Amazing that Amar’e still couldn’t get the ball in the paint even with the Knicks hitting all those threes. The ball did move quicker around the perimeter but moving the ball side to side ain’t good ball movement.

bobneptune: because if he didn’t have a guaranteed contract , he wouldn’t be in the nba. it is really quite simple.

Balkman would be a beast in the NBDL.

ess-dog: Shump looks to be pretty useless on offense.None of these guys deserve to start except Chandler and maybe Fields now. I would trade TD for Jamaal Tinsley straight up at this point.

yeah..... imagine how bad off we would have been tonight offensively without chandler's 2 field goals :-) but, as was said before the season started, you can't run an offense without reasonable point guard play.

We need amare and Chandler to take more threes that will make our team better. The problem is all those two point shots which are just so darned hard to make. I mean look at the numbers clearly we should only ever take three pointers. no more twos for the rest of the season and we’ll be golden

It is beyond ridiculous. If they were already going to give up on scoring when they had the Bibby/Shump/Novak/Jeffries/Chandler lineup, they might as well have Balkman in there to play D.

I think BD’s back is acting up. I know mine is. We have no PF (who is Amare?), no point guard, no true shooting guard, and our 3 is a chucker who took himself out of the game (ironically Bernard, whose fingers are still probably broken, was announcing). Our coach is Ayn Rand. Rant over, goodnight.

Yeah, agreed. The offense looked fine when they were running the viable starters out there. You plug Melo into the lineup the way it was playing tonight, they should do well.

Some of the threes were bad shots, but the vast majority of them came from good ball movement.
