PG: Knicks-Thunder

It really is a shame Payton did not log his standard 40 minute clip.

At least RJ got to 44. Not nearly enough though. Was really aiming for 48.

I don't like the way this game went obviously but it was kind of cool to see him stick with Q and Knox. He is actually a very development oriented coach to me.

That said, Q was bad. Knox did some good stuff but then missed big shots. RJ definitely was bad. He had a decent first half but then he was really pretty bustish in the 2nd half. We'll have to see where he goes. It's weird how much people are on him though -- like KP had many a bad game didn't he?

This offense is one of the worst in the league.

I gamble on nba games often, so I do see a lot of other teams play. Our offense is ugly ugly ugly. The team isn’t a good 3pt shooting team, but they also REFUSE to shoot it. Clyde noticed how OKC was just packing the paint against us cause they know our players really look to actually avoid to shoot the 3. And it’s predictable as hell. The only way the Knicks shoot the 3 is if they are wide open. If not, they’ll give a weak pumpfake and drive, see the paint is packed and either put up a heavily contested layup or kick it back out and it’s a rinse and repeat.

Bullock doesn’t shoot it even though he’s supposed to be our specialist. RJ and Payton obviously aren’t good 3pt shooters and teams WANT them to shoot it. Randle the past 4-5 games has been horrific from 3 and now he’s gun shy to shoot it, only 1 attempt from 3 tonight.

This team just doesn’t shoot it enough and doesn’t score enough. It’s going to be a problem if this offense doesn’t adapt.

Missed Burks shooting tonight more so than any other game this year

On the bright side we lost to the 4th seed in the West!

Then again there's like 10 teams with the same 4-4 record over there :lol:

We don't have any spacing, we will continue to be one of the worst offensive teams in the league until that changes. You all can blame RJ, but no other team in the league has nearly as antiquated of a frontcourt as we do.

That's a roster issue that will be here all year, and on the nights when RJ can't hit shots, and Randle cant play 45mpg, we will lose. But, check out that vertical spacing yall :lol:

people really wanna trade RJ to placate lanky Bismack Biyombo, hilarious.

It sucks Burks is out for another week. We need his shooting in the worst way

randle needs to do a better job at getting our backcourt easier buckets so they can establish a rhythm

I think he’s our best player if we’re being honest.

KP wasn't an intrinsically poor shooter like RJ is though. RJ honestly reminds me more and more of Landry

Feels like a bad loss but if you make a few of those key shots and play Mitch, it's a W.

Julius is our most well rounded player but Mitch makes the biggest impact

KP has a good jumper but it was never great. He had a lot of games where he would shoot poorly but he didn't try to take over like RJ does.

We'd be so much better with him at PG than Payton.

16 pts!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just really having his way in the paint tonight

Shooting below 50% at the rim is good, right?
