Yep all about playing loose

Not random, adjustment... Jimmy seems to be in a mini funk, they need more decisiveness and scoring threat offensively

Even if it was random, better random than "never" rotation by ours truly Thibs

You know, the Cavs actually lost the game by playing this style. Brunson is better at it than Mitchell, but yea...the Cavs lost doing this, so maybe the Knicks might not want to keep doing it. This might not be the best defense of Thibs. Maybe more of an indictment of both Mobley and Atkinson imo.

I'd say the main reason they lost is Garland is really good and he did not play. Style and scheme can only take you so far without enough talent.

Cam Whitmore looks miserable on the Rockets bench

Most boring 1st quarter of a game 7 I've ever watched.

Kerr is worse than Thibs. Hes getting outcoached by Udoka even though the warriors has significantly more talent than them.

Uh ok

The Jerseys we had in the 90's/early 2000's are so much better than the slop we have today

Blame Nike

Are there other teams that don't run zone at all like the Knicks?

knicks94 · Post #1630 » by **knicks94** » Mon May 5, 2025 1:33 am

How do you come back from a 3-1 deficit and then come home to play like crap?

Eh "significantly" is a bit much :-?

, Hou has lottery picks Green, future of franchise Amen, all stars Van Fleet and Sengun. Dillon can drop 25-30 pts on some nights, and Adams is a solid defender. Also Dubs are all aging.

I'd also rather be outcoached in Games 4-6 but coming out on top in Game 7 which the Dubs are seemingly headed to. Last but not least, if you're to be outcoached, better to be outcoached by one of the best coaches in the L in Ime.

It’s weird but as someone said, Jalen Green seems like nothing special

A few lottery busts in this series. Jabari Smith and Jonathan Kuminga. Reed Sheppard possibly

NoDopeOnSundays · Post #1636 » by **NoDopeOnSundays** » Mon May 5, 2025 2:34 am

Amen, Sengun and Eason are the keepers, both Sengun and Amen need to develop shots though. Green isn't very good and Jabari couldn't even post up Steph there on a switch.

WaltFrazier · Post #1637 » by **WaltFrazier** » Mon May 5, 2025 2:36 am

Sengun missing a bunch of short shots really hurting Houston

JK can still be a 20+ppg star on another team like the Nets, Wizards, Blazers, even playoffs fringe/ playoffs teams in need of scoring punch like the Heat, Bucks, Magic

At 7th pick I don't think he's a bust

Great talent but I question his IQ and toughness. Definitely not a winning player. He has improved though and can still be a good player.
