GT: Dallas Mavericks @ New York Knicks Mon, MLK Day 1/19. 5:00PM EST

This is the kind of game that gets coaches fired.

But the roster is just flawed. Top heavy without top end talent. Only one real ball handler/shot creator. Too many small guard and small forwards.

The roster has issues.

It doesn't have THIS MANY issues.

Team is quitting on Brown, full stop.

Or

He's horrible at utilizing this group of personnel correctly.
Or both.

FO has to admit they f*cked up. I mean, if it's KAT bagging it (deep down) and KAT is the issue, then move on from that mistake somehow.

Obviously it's easier to fire the coach. And this can't all be KAT or the players.

I putting it on Brown. The players have to play but he has to put them in a position to succeed and the team has regressed on defense and his offense has KAT all f*cked up.

That's fire-able stuff.

[NYKat]

FWIW, we always improved under Thibs, we are regressing with every game

[Red Vines]

McGrady & Vince nailing it. There is some friction in this locker room but that's no excuse for lack of effort.

[Iron Mantis]

12FT's for the Mavs.

3 FT's for the Knicks.

KAT 0 FT

Brunson 1 FT

This has been a pattern.


Go against Silver....he will destroy your season.


Hang the dam banner, Dolan.

they don't go into the paint, how are they gonna get a free throw ?

KAT and Brunson definitely go into the paint.

[mpharris36]

MFs won the in season tournament and got lazy. This is a straight effort thing.

Combination of effort and team feeling the pressure.

How do you come out an miss your first 11 3's

[kNicksGmen]

knicks should make history and just forfeit. has that ever happened before?

Or Brown should just start the literal end of the bench. Bench all of the main rotation guys.

[god shammgod]

go get jeff van gundy. go get mike malone. they're not thibs but they have similar characteristics. maybe they can fix this. explore what you can get for kat/mikal. i don't expect anything that makes sense but look hard.

for who ? we're getting giannis ? because all the word out there is the bucks are telling teams they're buyers more than any other team in the league.

It doesn't have to be for Giannis. An entire team just going through the motions like this isn't normal.

it is if they want the coach fired

They look like they’re done with him
He either said something that the team didn’t like
Or just gave up

But to see Brunson and hart giving up too??
Something happened that had to be crazy

[shmeakone]

Either the players are done with KAT or they’re clashing with the coaching staff. Either way, they wouldn’t intentionally tank a game like this.

[Strick]

Curse of not hanging the cup banner?

[thebuzzardman]

MFs won the in season tournament and got lazy. This is a straight effort thing.

So, that could happen for 3-5 games. This long, that's coaching.

[msg33]

The Manhattan Knicks or the Garden Knicks which one, pick one.

MLK is rolling over in his resting place

Disgraceful this is how?
Will it change?
Don't seem like it!

Wow Robinson is the On'e that has his game today.

Even the advantage they had at home is gone.

Anyways these are the current Knicks and the state therof, there offfffff.

This is the kind of game that gets coaches fired.

But the roster is just flawed. Top heavy without top end talent. Only one real ball handler/shot creator. Too many small guard and small forwards.

The team comes out over and over, chucking up 3’s
It puts them in a hole because they are giving up long rebounds and transition 3’s the other way

That’s not how we win games

It's also the wrong players attempting the 3 pointers from the wrong spot.

OG is attempting 3 pointers from everywhere but his spot in the corners.

I expect every Mikal corner and above the key 3 point attempt to miss.

KAT is allergic to stepping inside the 3 point line.

Jalen goes too deep into the paint and it causes him to commit turnovers or get his shot block.

Clarkson thinks every time he touches the ball he has to shoot it.

[R-DAWG]

Kolek-McCullers-Dadiet-Diawara-Hukporti.

Let’s go!

[Red Vines]

McGrady said he thinks the friction is between players fwiw.

[thebuzzardman]

I wouldn't fire Brown, he had guys playing at a peak level a month ago, but if they do Rose needs to go too along with 50% of the roster.

Nah man, Brown doesnt have a counter for the league’s adjustments, that’s what we are seeing

Reason # 5 for him to be fired.

[sol537]

go get jeff van gundy. go get mike malone. they're not thibs but they have similar characteristics. maybe they can fix this. explore what you can get for kat/mikal. i don't expect anything that makes sense but look hard.

Let's see if they have the cajons to fixt their mistakes before the playoffs roll around (Brown and KAT)...

[MrDollarBills]

I'm watching the NBC broadcast and Melo, T Mac and Vince all basically said it looks like something is going on with the guys and I agree. I said it last game, something ain't right behind the scenes.

[The KnicksFix]

McGrady said he thinks the friction is between players fwiw.

So the entire team against KAT?
