The first time ever I think Knicks-Nets wasn’t aired on MSG and with no postgame show.

He still had possession when the ball got hit. Either way that was the end.

Randle should’ve let the ball go when Kyrie hit it and caught it again, so that it looked like he lost possession and got it back.

Since Kyrie and Randle didn’t both come down with the ball, idk if it’s still considered a jump ball though.

It was a travel. He had possession when he came down, he should have let the ball go at the point of the hit.

Honestly its a little scary that we can't handle the press/traps. I thought we had gotten over it after the loss to Toronto when they completely wrecked us by trapping Kai and Harden, but we're back to leaving the ball handler on an island in those situations. It really shouldn't be this hard to overcome.

Who are your King, Knight, & Jester for the game?

Harden has been pretty awful too.

17 14 15 is awful?

Yes. His #1 attribute is his scoring, and he wasn’t doing that nearly effectively enough. And when it was Harden by himself with Kyrie on the bench, the Knicks would make runs. Harden wasn’t doing enough to stop the bleeding.

All the Ws can't be pretty (yes, Pistons and Knicks are scrappy and KD is still not in uniform yet), but can't help but believe Nets need to correct the ship after the last 2 games before it actually costs them.

Our ratings are better I don't blame MSG for not airing the game.

Agreed, hopefully it is a wake up call.

If we passed the ball this wouldn't happened. See how that works, really we going to do it. Enjoy this streak man. They played it like last game of the year, we half azzed it. That's not how we played vs above 500 teams. These guys can care less about city crap. They played Saltics much better and with purpose.

I don’t.

They are whining like a poverty franchise. I love it. Smells like another 2004 sweep.

Man Knicks are tough, Thibs got these guys working hard over there, I'm happy the Knicks are competitive. But the refs got them back in the game, so many bogus foul called. I think we got away with the last call though, Kyrie clearly hits the ball.

Anyway we win. Kyrie was lights out. Harden didn't shoot well but he is a easy walking triple double, he gets those in his sleep. Claxton with some good rebounding and defense and finishing lobs. DJ doing his thing. Unlce Jeff was balling today. When the heck is Blake griffin going to play?

Some of yall need to respect the opponent. These guys are coached up and they play hard defensively. I didn't expect a blow out but we controlled the game.

We need better execution on the inbounds. Joe Harris is a terrible inbounder

GTR11 · Post #193 » by **GTR11** » Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:00 am

Don't have no kings or anything. They pulled it on talent alone, we half azz it.

I'm sure Nash is gonna get plenty of blame but this is on the players. Poor execution all night end of quarters. No excuse to let yourself get triple teamed when we have the court completely spaced out.

2 bad games in a row where our stars just close it out. We need to get our flow back. Both of these should've been 15-20 point wins. Every time we got up, we would get sloppy. Only scored 50 in the 2nd half tonight.

I won't. When I see fluke and trash I'm going to call it ass it is. Did they overachieved this far, sure, props to them. However they trash that won't make it to PO.
Let them prove me wrong, I'll admit if they will. D.LO, Din, Caris etc made with 30 games left. No one believed in them, but they did without any tournament etc BS.

Harden has gone back to Ricky Rubio mode the last few games. I don't get it.

Hes one of the greatest isolation scorers ever and hes so passive with this team.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #198 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:06 am

I have less faith in Jordan after tonight. He was just awful.

I'm ready to see what Griffin can do. Maybe hes smarter and more agile defensively.

GTR11 · Post #199 » by **GTR11** » Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:08 am

I got more faith in Charlotte with Lamelo over there. They balling entire season and showing rest of the league they'll be problem soon.
Indy getting healthy. I'm not exited to see them make 7-8 seed. They'll be tough with talent to talk about.
Let's see if Craptors will get their thing together. Their coach if legit, won't be easy out with our rookie coach.

Letting up with some of those possessions was the opposite of that, though.
