Jack and Timmy were just terrible covering the perimeter.

SHOCKING

Jack should've never been playing and Timmy needs to be held accountable. Jeff needs to hold him accountable just like he does with Kanter.

Jeff meed to hold himself accountable for leaving Jack in. It's crazy, we all seen that he needed to come out and yet .. Horny continued to leave him in. Only reason we lost is because of Korver going unconscious and unguarded

I really like Dougie.
He’s making me not miss Melo.

I want him to start.

KP is gaining the attention of teams.
The doubles are coming. They are going to keep coming. Let’s see the next step which is adjustment from KP.

And KP was doing a great job of finding the open guy every time they doubled up on him.

We lost this game because K.Korver (19 pts in the 4th) got hot, Jeff left J.Jack on Korver too long, a couple of lucky bounces off the rim and LeDellaDon had like 8 assists in the 4th.

I think the score was 90-83 and KP just drilled that 3 from deep to put us up 7 with about 4:30 remaining and korver came down and THjr played it perfectly contested (ran by him a little) but recovered nicely for a great contest and korver clearly shot it long...it banged of the back rim, bounced of the glass, hit the front rim, and rolled in. I have never seen a shot from that angle miss long by that much and still find its way in the basket.

No doubt in my mind if that doesn't go in the knicks with that game. Up 7 with about 4 minutes to go with the ball...the really just sucked out whatever remaining energy we had. After that bounced in the Cavs went on a 17-7 run over the next 3 minutes capped off by LeBrons ice cold 3 with KP in his face...

that bounce was just ridiculous...

That bounce and then the bounce off of LeDellaDons 2nd missed free throw killed us. We get that rebound call a timeout and would of had around 3 1/2 seconds to tie the game with a 3 pointer but they got that big bounce.

Now that I wake up, I am salty than after the loss. I was not even tight after it cause I wanted to be positive about how we played in the begining. Im a Brooklynite, before I am a New Yorker, and on some BK schit...we got treated/acted like some bitches at the end. Thats why I am somewhat tight this morning. This mofo rode our trains trying to stunt on us. He been in the league over a decade and NEVER rode the train but chose to ride it yesterday. He was fronting on us HARD with that one. Then I am seeing the Arthur pics and these bitch ass Cavs is clowning us. Games like last night with all the storylines are the sweetest type of victories, and we did not pull it off. I know they are talking Hella schit about us, and to see how that mofo was strutting around the Garden once they came back, makes you wanna rumble.The Knicks will bounce back, but on some pride type schit we took an L as a City on the low. I don't like cats thinking they can front on us... Fuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkk

Ill I feel you... That 4th quarter was some straight bully schit. Cavs we're grabbing, holding, tossing KP like salad and we couldn't do anything to stop it.

They got into our heads and it was a wrap from there. But like said earlier, it's all good. Trust The Lebums know we ain't scared of the Big Bad Wolf anymore, and next time they come to the Mecca from the Coach, to the players, we'll be ready for that BS they pulled in the 4th.

After the 3rd time KP was tossed to the floor, the Knicks needed an Oakley type moment of the guy getting right in someone's face and shoving them. I hate the new NBA sometimes.

Doug a RFA after this season correct?

I hope we don’t sign him long term.

[thebuzzardman]

What can Jeff do to stop teams that can shoot like the Cavs, HOU, and Bos?

These types of teams kill us.

Sh*tcan that horrible defensive scheme that has 4 guys packing the paint? Just a thought.

[shtolky]

44 pages for a post game thread in November? That's gotta be a record.

The loss hurt, sure, but we still had a 23 point lead against Lebron at MSG, where we usually get our asses kicked. This team fights, and will learn. Bottom line, we have two players under 23 who are cornerstones, and Frank is just getting started. He is already elite defensively and his offense will come as he matures. KP is a completely different player now in his third season and I suspect we will see similar growth from Frank. We finally have some forward momentum, but it's going to take some time.

***** these dudes man.

Ah, let him have his moment. He'll never be an effective one way player in the NBA ever again

They are making the same mistake we made. Celebrating too early when you should be focused on getting better. Good for them, they are a .500 team. It took God mode Korver and bad coaching for them to win.

timmy's close outs were at least respectable...jack on the other hand...if he isn't going to be a savvy vet and defend decently his ass needs to be on the bench. He basically got korver going by allowing those two open 3's when all he really had to be doing was pay attention...

Jeff wasnt ready to have Frank in that high intensity situation. However Jacks defense has been killing us for a while now. Frank cant keep picking us up on that end. He needs to start so we will be off to good starts then hope Jack can keep up with the bench point guard.

Jeff was right bc Frank played scared but he will grow from this. He was pissed.

Kp is becoming a big time flopper which i've always hated players that flop but i'm obviously not gonna hate on KP for doing what he can to get to the foul line.

Switch everything. So simple but yet so hard. Only lebron can create no one else is a threat so switch everything. But noooooooo we still fighting over picks chasing Korver. Then doubling Lebron who was clearly looking to pass.

I really like Dougie.

I want him to start.

Lee or THJr to the bench?

I say Tim. Let him go nut leading the 2nd unit.

Tim is basically a slightly up market JR Smith/Jamal Crawford

Glad you guys see this. He really is able to provide something on both ends of the floor. Doug has plenty to offer and it looks to me like he can handle a bigger role on this team or at least grow into it.

[F N 11]

I literally avoided Bleacher report, Instagram, Facebook, The general board, and ESPN. I just did not want to see or hear about this chit.

He's a weapon but we rather give Bease spot minutes and Lance minutes when we are up big instead of more scoring with Doug.

[Capn'O]

well damn. you guys actually did that.

i always thought he was funny myself. he was so over the top that i couldn't help but laugh.

You're not wrong. He was always a sore point for a lot of posters that got dinged or booted for less though.
