Watched bits and pieces of the game. Pretty disappointing. They looked much better than us.

Knicks got one in Rokas Jokubaitis…He’s carving up his former club tonight… Barcelona hasn’t missed a beat with Calathes out. Really impressive for a kid that just turned 21 to be quarterbacking arguably the best team in Europe…

Good news, Zalgiris is dead last (and they cut Mudiay three weeks ago) but Rokas is showing impressive progress.
He’s growing so fast that at the end of the season my 2022-2023 NBA prediction can end up being very conservative.

Tonight he finally took some threes (3-3) and I’m going to repeat myself, the kid can really pass (7 AST).

In reply to Big Chiefin’ as Phatt Gandalf.

The one good thing for me about the slump is that maybe we could get “Bing bong” retired before the Knicks get good again and that when the Knicks get hot, people just celebrate it normally. I don’t even really have a problem with “bing bong” in a vacuum, but when everybody starts doing one guy’s shtick? It’s weird.

As for the defense, it really looks so much like the defensive change from 2011-12 to 2012-13. Chandler was still Chandler in both of those seasons, but in 2011-12, the entre roster was supporting him on defense and the next year it was…not. Here, Mitch/Noel are still doing strong work in the middle, they’re just not getting support at all. The scheme around them defensively is awful.

three big positives from tonight’s game:
1). quik’s consistency
2). no one played more than 32 minutes
3). i didn’t watch the game

72-61 with 5:52 left in the 3rd quarter is not too far from a single digit.

Yes you’re right, it was a roaring comeback.
3 minutes later we were down by 22 after a Suns’ 11-0 run.
We weren’t watching the same feed probably.

Max: Suns’s last single digit lead was 40-32 with 8:26 to go in the 2nd…

72-61 with 5:52 left in the 3rd quarter is not too far from a single digit.
