Nope! Because those three last year led a crappy offense which is the only data we have to go off of.

I will say, I'd still like to see the FO trade dead weight bench pieces and picks though. Would be nice to have some legit shooters/scorers off the bench.

Now I see why AB doesn't shoot. Goodness his shot is ugly.

Pull Suggs. The game is over and we can't afford him getting injured.

AB has been very chatty with the refs. It’s like he wants to get thrown out.

Yeah they've officially gave up.

I am looking forward to Grizzlies vs Thunder on Sunday. Two best built teams in the league, maybe the 2 best teams period.

How many **** back to backs do we have? I know we have an average amount this year but it feels like it's front loaded.

Home vs Utah
@ New York (on another B2B great scheduling btw, they've never had a rest disadvantage against us)

then off 3 days

Home vs Minny
Home vs Bucks (B2B)

Luckily we dont have another one for over a month after

I don’t want to be upset with the guys. I know they’re doing the best they can at the moment with the new roles they are giving and you can tell they are losing heart. But this FO has got to get some offense in the off season. We have to move away from Cole, Gary, and Wendell. They are awesome humans but they don’t help this ball club in the way we need them to in the games.

the Knicks beat us and shot 4-11 from deep. They did, however, take 21 more FTs than us.

7 game loss streak if Butler and Tatum don't get sick.

Expected without Paolo/Franz, but worth noting. 4 'easy' games coming up, we'll see.

Jett still can’t get on the court? Dawghaus

They are up 20+ because of the FTs but in the second half they hit better shots.

damn, Jett can't even get garbage time minutes now... the writing is on the wall

Absolutely. The bench unit is terrible and can't score without Mo.

Let's go Knicks chants... clear as day

Don't think it's fair to count games like this. We can say our record would be 22+ wins if Paolo/Franz don't freakishly tear their obliques haha

what a great way to end the game Cole...

Well, the Knicks starters are beyond the capabilities of this roster today.

Brunson >>> Suggs
Hart >>> Black
Bridges >>> KCP
Anunoby >>> Da Silva
Towns >>> Goga

No need to flip out and demand mass roster trades. This wasn't a game they could win against the Knicks talent.

Cole.
