I’m just saying, if you’re depending on those guys for 46 combined minutes in a must-win game in late March, your season probably isn’t going to end well. Their ENTIRE bench tonight consisted of OAKAAK super-scrubs. (And somehow they won, haha).

Knox is getting more playing time than Reddish now for the desperate Blazers. Not sure what to make out of that, but whatever it CAN make probably isn’t good.

Well, Knox had a similar scoring line compared to Reddish but had 5 rebounds and was +7 compared to Reddish’s 2 rebounds and -9 in similar minutes. I’d play Knox too with those results.

I’ve been way busy (too busy for a retired guy) to post here but I had to chime in about Willis Reed. I started following basketball at the start of the 72-73 season. By then the Knicks were the toast of the town having won just a couple of years prior. I lived out of the country in 69-70 so I missed that championship and Reed’s historic moment. No matter – Reed became an early role model for me. He helped me fall in love wit the Knicks and was the heart and soul of my team. He will be missed.

The second thing is about the Knicks. It’s almost time to panic. When a team gets good and is going to make the playoffs, that team gets scouted heavily and teams learn ways to take advantage of weaknesses. I sense that it’s happening and it’s time for the coach and players to adjust to the adjustments made to stop them. Randle’s temper, Brunson’s defense, Mitch’s foul shooting – we have to expect these weaknesses and the others exploited.

I need to see the suffocating defense back at work.

The officiating league wide has to be at a low point right now…not sure how it evolved to this point but i now see how Van Vleet went off last week…as a player to have to deal with that kind of incompetence must be super frusturating…

Brian, that’s twice you’ve been optimistic after a loss. I don’t agree. The Knicks have to start defending better. They gave up 140 to the Nuggets and 127 to Miami and, as I recall, Miami is not known for their offense.

Oh, the defense is very concerning, I’m just saying that they’ll still almost certainly finish fifth. Separately, yes, the defense is annoying.

The Knicks just have way too favorable of a final stretch of games. They’ll be fine for the five.
