Politics stay in the last thread.
The Brunson-Hart PnR looked really good the other night, I’d love to see more of it.
This feels like a better matchup for the Knicks. Maybe we’ll get a longer look at Kolek if he’s not playing defense like a chair.
Please play Huk, my heart cannot take anymore of Sims
Let’s Go Knicks!
… and I agree on the Sims/Huk debate…
I’m keeping an eye on Mikals defense on Trae tonight and Mikal is dead last on the team in net rating -14. For as much as people talk down on OG here the Knicks have been +43 on the court with him compared to Mikal.
Great chance here to pick up the worst loss of the season.
Trae will put up 40/15 as the final nails get driven into Mikal’s rep as a defender. We’ll take about 25 threes and let them hit everything at the rim while also giving up 40+ quality 3PA.
Thibs will continue to look like Joe Biden at the debate.
Sorry guys, it’ll be awhile before ol’ Pagliacci’s usual sunny optimism returns. We are the Democrats of the NBA.
Well they are taking more threes
Good start…
And maybe I should not have said bad stuff about Risacher
Can’t blame us. I had an unproductive start of the work day too.
There are plays when KAT looks like he could make a difference if he’d just put his hands up
Oh fuck me, we’re seriously gonna get blown out by the Hawks too?
Ice Trae an appropriate nickname
Keep shooting those treys, guys. They’ll start falling. This is the way
Both teams shooting like ass
Brunson should never pass on that three and that’s why
At least we’re taking 3s. It would be nice to make some too
Came in late, but not impressed by Brunson’s decision-making so far.
Playing like shit and we’re only down 4… come on guys
Here i am. I wasn’t here for the Rockets loss, so let’s hope i’m some kind of good luck charm. 😀
6 turnovers in a quarter is a lot. Cut that down and shoot a bit better from 3 and they’ll be ok.
Edit: and they start the quarter with a turnover.
The junky gets the frat boy to foul him at the three-point line..
That was quite a dumb foul from Kolek
Welcome Cyber! Hope you napped or just finished a great dinner like a Greek
Deuce DID take 5,000 threes yesterday!
Kolek may never miss
Kolek!
P.S. don’t shit on my man Garrison 😉
This is some absolutely horrible defense. I still can’t get used to the fact the Knicks are now a team that wins because of their offense.
If Kolek never misses a 3 he’ll be a steal
Kolek has earned some minutes.
You’re right… a little late here, but it was dinner. 😉
What is happening to our defense??
Who’s this ricochet guy? 😀
What defense?
I hope Mitch is ready in early Jan. Even Precious would help. The lack of interior defense is quite something – I miss I-Hart.
Tyler Kolek – known for his passing just recorded his 1st assist in the regular season tonight
They aren’t going to get where we want without playing good defense. I’m starting to think the perimeter defense is not good enough to offset Towns in the middle. We’ll see what Thibs does when Precious is back and then again when Mitch is back.
If the defensive trend continues, I think Thibs will inevitably go to the JB-Mikal-OG-KAT-5 lineup when Precious or Mitch are back.
Kinda nice to have a center who never misses foul shots.
Towns plays no defense but that was quite nice
I love that the Deuce drive was vintage Brunson — clearly hours spent copying him.
Glad Towns is shooting more this game.
This is looking better 🙂
Knicks will be able to play great defense in spurts. Alot like the 54 win 2013 team and even in the 47 win season 2 years ago where the Knicks were 3rd in offensive rating but just 19th in defensive rating.
It’s just something the 90’s Knicks fan in me still can’t get used to.
Offensive stars PG and C are sieves, a much heralded (and costly) wing is underperforming, our schemes are tailored on rim protection and now we have none… nothing to be worried about 😂
The only player with a negative +/- so far is Bridges. Hmmmn I hope this is not going to become a pattern because eventually it’s not noise.
A lot left to figure out but Towns is one of the most unique offensive talents I’ve ever watched
You guys noticing this season that Brunson gets bottled up a lot more when he gets in the paint?
Here comes our rim protector (Sims)… oh, wait!
Risacher reads Knickerblogger
Risacher actually looks pretty good.
Can’t blame KAT for those last 2 wide ass open 3s the Knicks just gave up.
Brunson baby was clearly up all night, crying.
Did the Knicks just catch up while their bench was in?
The Suns have a top 10 defensive rating. Nurkic is the starting Center.
Let’s hope Mitch saves the day when he’s back.
And he doesn’t find the open men when bottled up, he has zero assists so far tonight…
Bad defense by Hart on Risacher
Brunson with another fucking awful game.
Still not using the talent around him
