They should’ve tried something different but Jazz played to defend the interior. If the Knicks just shoot semi normally, they probably win.

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.


It's wild his form goes to complete sht on the elbow or straight on



I'm not fooled by his mid range shots, we didn't trade for him to do that, we traded for him to be a guy that can be 20ppg with a good % on high volume threes. This is looking really bad, he's not assertive, doesn't get to the line at all and can't shoot threes. Like you could just sign Lonnie Walker to do what he's doing right now.

It's obvious his mentals aren't right either. He is passing up clean looks and has some terrible turnovers. Like you mentioned. I hope he can get his shot right during the all-star break cause we need him to consistently be a reliable 3rd option. Also need his secondary creation which is gone if he isn't a pull up 3 point threat.

He's the biggest disappointment so far, and it's really frustrating, but I'm also supremely confident he'll get there. It just sucks that this happens right out the gate in the honeymoon phase. Makes it feel 10x worse.

Some of our decision making and shot selection is really bad. Nobody is excluded from this other than maybe OG.

Dadiet one of the few competing defensively and thibs rewards him with zero second half minutes

Yup and our amazing coach basically rewards the starters by playing them every single minute.


I don't wanna be that guy but I kinda feel like Thibs might be limiting this club with his approach.

It's early. And 3 defensive guys are on the shelf. So hopefully things change. But allowing the Jazz to hit over 50% from deep is due to drop coverage

Why not? Play inside out. We played right into their hand. We could have easily made shots but we went away from our bread and butter with that stay away from Kessler logic.

I think he can get it together but i feel like he's playing way too timid on both ends.

Even if the deep shot isn't going down that doesn't mean you stop playing offense.

No PG thread?

Can we please get Divo back?? I'm sick of this clunky ball movement... it doesn't feel organic, most of the time... 3-4 guys are stationary, a pass or two is made to a scorer of the current possession then he goes to work, other guys just standing, no cutting, off ball movement, etc

Monica is laying into the team right now and deservedly so. They came in here with NO urgency.

This loss really pisses me off.

Its mind numbing he refuses to switch.

Are we really worried about Walker Kessler posting up? Who cares if it's really bad foul him and send him to the line.

And then I don't care if a big is on a guard like sexton it can't be any worse than giving up open 3's because we are scrambling trying to help

No attempt to force switches either

Bad game from both the team and coaching staff.

OG, Cam, Dadiet, and Sims get a pass tonight.
