Also, KAT gotta be the most no-call fouled center since Shaq. At least it seems like it. Feels like this dude has better odds of getting called for an offensive foul than getting a call in his favor

I'd rather give up a contested two over wide open threes.


Duncan Robinson and Herro are the only 3 point shooters on the Heat.


Right, and I feel like we've given them way too many open looks.

We also let Bryant get two clean looks and he can knock down 3s

Everyone in the starting line up except KAT is bricking it up but the Knicks are still in it tho

Despite bad play we just need to hit a few more shots. The threes are not dropping

Someone pointed out deuce setting a screen for brunson at the end of last game and now all I can see is the wrong players screening brunson all the time. I dont get our offense not utilizing our best players. We are making it harder on ourselves than we have to.

KAT scores so easily with a little bit of encouragement.

Why shouldn't we make him our # 1 option?

One pass and the other 4 watch the 1 with the ball, no ball movement, no off ball player movement, we need more cutting action (Pac could help here), there's something about Divo, he keeps moving, he keeps talking/ communicating that make players do all the positive stuff on the court... now he's gone we need guys to communicate more, not just 1 or 2, but collectively.

Towns with 24 at half... great, but that doesn't mean **** when 4 other guys just ball watch... we need more cohesive team ball movement

JB is trying to balance when to be aggressive and when to involve Towns more.

The defense is breaking down because Jalen's teammates have to help him because of his size, and all the opposing team has to do is keep swinging the ball until it gets to their best 3 point shooter.

Thibs gonna have to make the tough decisions man. I feel like Kolek and Huka should be getting some burn. You can't run 8 deep when the players you playing off the bench aren't producing. Try something else man!

He will be at some point during the season.

He's going to play the role Julius did by letting the offense go through him for the first 3 quarter, and in the 4th quarter let the offense go through Jalen.

Ball movement looks good but everyone besides KAT and Deuce can’t make an open shot

Theyre shooting 50% and 43% and being slightly outrebounded while mikal and Brunson can't shoot. If it wasn't for towns we would be blown out.

Defense needs to tighten up and our backcourt needs to wake tf up

You’re not the only one who thinks this.

When we get swept by the Celtics because of his stubborn ass archaic defensive schemes I really wanna hear how allowing this lower percentage sh*t worked in our favor

Cavs pounding Lakers, Pacers whupping Celtics, 76ers down to the Pistons, Hawks struggling with Wiz...early season inconsistency appears to not only be a Knicks problem but the Knicks have a good reason for it.
