I think people are overreacting…shocking.
Bridges can score. He’s hit a rough patch.
I also think Thibs is great. He’ll figure it out.
This team still hasn’t gelled.

Mitch is going help in the middle and on the boards when he’s back but I think we need a C that can score for when Towns is out. When Towns is out, there are too many lineups with two guys like Sims, Precious and Hart. OG and Mikal are good but not quite good enough to create in the absence of Towns with two non scorers on the court with them.

Knicks problem is they don’t rely on their perimeter players to actually play defense, they rely on helping and rotating way too fucking much. In today’s NBA that’s too difficult because of how much teams can space the court and shoot 3s.

I think we wind up helping so much because we have a couple of weak links on the court almost all the time. That requires help.
Then the other team finds the open player and we can’t recover from the help fast enough. They get an open 3 and that’s that.

The Knicks have been garbage defending the 3 point line all year long. Before this game they ranked 25th in opponent 3pt% despite playing a schedule softer than baby thighs.

We’re one of the worst teams in the league at defending the 3 pointer and it’s not like the coach is capable of making any kind of adjustment.

And Naz Reid shot 6-6 from the fucking logo.

Take five-six of their crazy shots out of the equation, make it 16-40(40%) instead of 22-40 (55%) from deep. This is still an excellent shooting percentage, but the Knicks can win the game.

Well, we DID keep them under 100 points.

And Naz Reid shot 6-6 from the fucking logo.

So, you know.

OG: 5-10 for 16
Mikal: 6-17 for 15

There really is some law of nature that these two can never have a good game at the same time
