Carlisle reserved and respectful postgame, not whining about sending tapes to the league like last year

This one wasn't even 3pt variance. Just KAT driving in for layups.

The similarities in playstyle between Hali and Scottie are striking. Obviously Hali is a much more skilled player, but they both lack that killer instinct to take over a game when the team needs them to. Even Jokic suffers from this on occasion, but he usually gives his head a shake and goes into beast mode. Hali and Scottie will just keep deferring until the game is lost. It's frustrating to watch. Both guys would be so much more effective if they looked for their own shot more.

Fred should have definitely been traded because the idea was to bring him back on a similar value contract he already had before and hope another team doesn’t offer more. Horrible strategy. You either think he’s worth what he’s asking or don’t and move him. Kicking the can down the road was risky. Obviously we’re better with him but ultimately we couldn’t keep him and got nothing.

Gave you an And1 before reading your last sentence and now I want to take it back. Is there a way to do that?

We have Shead and IQ right now and point guard Scottie is a joke but believe what you want.

None of those have anything to do with how damaging and harmful Fred was to this team. We should have picked up a pass first guard and kept Powell and this team would not have suffered that much.

Very questionable calls towards the end of the game but the Knicks played very well and Brunson made big shots in crunch time.

Loved OG’s intensity when he blocked Nesmith.

so still some hope for that Minnesota vs New York. Fingers crossed.
