I truly think that this was a worse loss than the Indiana game. The Knicks made some big shots in that Indy game, the Pacers just made tons of crazy threes.

There, the Pacers really TOOK the game from the Knicks. Here, the Knicks just GAVE it away in the end.

This was an embarrassing, embarrassing loss to a team that is clearly inferior, talent-wise, but the Knicks still couldn’t put them away. It was a pathetic performance.

Damn just saw a clip of Timothee looking very upset at the end of the game. More upset than the Oscar’s loss..

wtf is Murray doing you need a three to tie the game and you take a mid range two pointer. It’s another dumb decision by a different home team tonight.

Timberwolves battling vs Denver. Not trying to hear any excuses. 6th seed in the West is the Timberpups who were in the WCF last season and we are playing a team lead by CJ McCollum.

So the Knicks didn’t have a timeout at the end and Mike Brown used a timeout on this

I hear you. kAT was great in the 3rd and they let this wing thing completely let them stop passing the ball to him . He may think since he’s not getting the ball he will punt his effort . I still would take Kat post up even if you want him to space the court and not clog the paint over some OG drive. It never ends well.

Towns effort after Josh Hart pushed the ball up was shitty

Now watch the other clips. You will see shitty effort on every single one. And that’s why the lane was clogged all 4Q.

FWIW I’m not yelling at you — forgive me if it seems like I am. It’s totally reasonable to look at the box score and think KAT was great and we should have gone to him more.

But that dude was not competing. The tape doesn’t lie.

ShwinnyPooh, Diawara playing time advocate
@shwinnypooh

McBride/Shamet/Clarkson played 23 mins the ENTIRE season w/o Brunson or KAT on the floor

McBride/Shamet played 46 mins the ENTIRE season w/o Brunson or KAT on the floor

Mike Brown didn’t attempt this all yr but has randomly decided to try this out now for no apparent reason lol

Will Huk be broken out next game with Pacome?

This is a nice sample size according to this coach

Bridges isn’t some crappy 3 point shooter and got two good looks. I’m perfectly fine with that play. Towns believed he was going to make it like the rest of the team.

*Towns effort after Josh Hart pushed the ball up was shitty, but if Bridges just makes one of those shots..
