Saddest face I've seen from KAT after hitting a trey.

His shot won't get better anytime soon, he's gonna need the all-star break to try and tweak it. The mechanics on his shot are just broken, we need him to be able to make the threes Payne makes but he cannot make above the break threes.

Lauri interviewed well for us today. Would have been a nice addition if we didn't get KAT.

Thibs is killing me here. Why give up open threes???

Force them into long twos and rim contests. Giving up open threes is a recipe for disaster in modern ball



If a team has more than 2 guys that can shoot and 1 of them is a big he is lost defending that team.


I like Thibs but sometimes I feel like he approaches the game like it's 1998.

You should demand your money back on that crystal ball.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

Wildcat wrote:Even if this ends up an ugly lost, one thing I'd say about KAT that I was afraid of is if his shot wasn't dropping, he's usually dead weight on the other end of the floor. That's not the case so far here. I appreciate the 15 rebounds.

With that said, poor look on JB and KAT. And arguably Bridges worse game as a Knick. We're not out the woods yet, folks.

Team was never out of the woods. Beat up on scrub teams like it means anything.

Deuce, Precious and Mitch will help a lot but the roster needs one more real scorer. It's the trouble with getting Mikal at the cost of a star but he's not that scorer
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Bad loss. Thibs has got to change his approach to defense.

Mikal has to get his life together.

And now the Joker is up next.

The team cannot lose games like this.
