PG Thread: 4th qtr collapse - PhishKeys pg. 18

[Handledatruth]

Porzingis had an off night, it happens.
Frank is going to need to learn to become more aggressive, it will come in time.
Killed on the boards, Cavs got to many timely offensive boards in the fourth.
Jeff has won us some games with his fourth quarter sub patterns, tonight he lost us one.

Blowing that lead definitely hurts, but hopefully they learn from this one.

That early 4th quarter sub to put Jack in was killer. I don't get why it was necessary.

Question: aside from the hundreds of tattoos and the absurd contract, what exactly is the difference between Tim Hardaway Jr. and JR Smith?

[Im Coming Home]

KP had one bad game, you guys need to calm the hell down. He's been carrying us to wins all season, he causes one loss and you guys want to just take a dump on him.

[vallen]

KP had a bad game

Our perimeter defense has always been troubling

Frank is great defensively, but passes up to many easy shots

Horny waited to long with Jack, and should have stayed with Kanter. the way we were shooting we needed offensive rebounds. or any rebounds. and someone who could score. he also played his best defensive game tonight.

We really need a starting PG. Frank isnt ready. If we had a solid starter we would be in great shape.

[El Poochio]

Horny lost the game by not going back to Frank THJ Lee Doggy KP lineup imo

[drekwins]

THIs has to be one of the most painful losses ever!

Were you a fan in the 90s/Early 2000's? lol This is a game in November that means nothing.... The Toronto Raptors playoff game, Bulls games, half of the team being suspended against the Heat, etc. were much worse.

[Jeffrey]

**** OFF KP.

HE GOT OUT REBOUNDED TWO GODDAMN TIMES IN THE DECIDING FINAL MINUTE. I AM NOT A MELO FAN, BUT WE GAVE A LOT OF HEAT TO MELO BECAUSE IT WAS HIS TEAM. IT'S YOUR TEAM NOW AND YOU ARE BRICKING 4TH Q FREE THROWS AND ALLOWING DWAYNEWADE TO OUT REBOUND YOU IN THE DECIDING MINUTES, AND THEN NOT PUSHING OFF THE BLOCK ON A GODDAMN FT MISS.

GET OUT OF MY FACE KP. I'M REALLY PISSED AND WANT TO TANK NOW LIKE I DID WHEN THE SEASON STARTED. DAMNIT.

Never go full ... but you just did.

[adjacent2bench]

Frank has to score. I know the European mentality for most point guards is to be team first, but he gotta put shots up. That in turn will open up his playmaking ability.

And Jeff should just start him. Love Jack but that experiment should be over.

[xNewYorkMadex]

KP deserves the criticism tonight.

3 missed crucial ft's. Doesnt grab 2 big rebounds. Just a choke of a game for him.

Hornaceck after repeatedly playing Frank for the majority of the minutes in the 4th qtr, decides to let jack play for most of the 4th while the lead was slipping away. Just awful PG play and defense from him.

Inexcusable loss after being up by more than 20 late in the 3rd. LeBron wasnt even trying to score, shouldve stayed on Korver like a magnet. They werent even running anything special to get him open.

[Fat]

korver 19 pts 4th quarter

[blue and orange]

It was a tease but I'm not even mad, gotta take this on the chin and move on. KP is gonna get grilled by the media and will get better from this this is a good game for this team to expose their weaknesses and address them. A top 5 pick is still attainable.

[Wolfgang630]

Sitting Kanter, out best rebounder, when we needed a rebound was genius

He was sorely needed.

[Sprewell4Three]

No worries. We'll grow from this.

Nice to see the KP haters come out. Always knew that there were people lurking, waiting for this moment.

What, KP can't be criticized for a crappy performance? Love the dude but he blew tonight!

KP has carried this team on his got damn back the whole year. He deserves a pass for tonight.

[Greenie]

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.

[Metta World WAR]

Even in victory, Lebron manages to make himself look like a ****. (Missed both free throws, then missed unnecessary layup trying to run up the score.) Glad Frank walked away without a word, and looked like KP didn't acknowledge LeDouche either.

[Slicin N Dicin]

With all said though, like Clyde said at the very end - the Knicks can compete. It's tough loss to take, we collapsed, now let's hope the team can learn from this one

[EchelonNYK]

The Knicks lose a tough one when Dolan shows up. No coincidence. No one likes to work in front of their boss.

[bigtimeRC3]

hornacek thought the game was over. he put dotson in. kyle o quinn was making like 4 straight turnoves. open 3s from korver. cavs hit a 3. knicks hit a 2. cavs hit another 3 . knicks hit another 2. and just like that the cavs won. this team needs better shooters and better 3 point defense. jack should not be a starting pg.

[Apples]

Porzingis in general needs to grab more boards.

[stuporman]

Jeffy exposed when KP not bailing him out plus that 3pt D and rebounding was wtf?
