PG: Knicks lose to Thunder

[Context]

I love the fact that the Knicks wanted the smoke.
We will see them at MSG.

Hope I'm wrong but feel like they smoke us the next game.

The Knicks can play with OKC. They just cant make those same mistakes. They need more time to get better.
We also need to develop a real bench.

funny thing is even if Thibs had an Aaron Wiggins he wouldn't play him much and he won them the game.

Facts. He'll be glued to the bench. That's why I said in the Around the NBA thread that I'm jealous off all these other teams developing their players. Even Minny got josh minott playing valuable mins. Boston played Neemias Queta 20+ mins last night.

I'm about to lower my expectations, already know the outcome smh.

[Guano]

Wanted that one and it sucks we faded in the 4th but I'm happy with how we looked


clearly Brunson isn't healthy.

We're a great team and showed that. I'm solid with the outcome. Which is surprising cause usually I overreact to negative things.

[kNicksGmen]

Thibs be like

“Big game let me take out Brunson to start the 4th”

Against a bum ass team?

“Brunson going to need you entire half”


I stand by it, Thibs loss. Excuse after excuse for this dude. Play your damn bench players. Develop and offense besides basketball instincts.

Lol I was legit thinking this when the bench started the 4th. I was like wow thibs never plays the bench late in a close game.

Bench proceeds to **** the bed.

This isn’t sustainable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leon has to talk to Thibs man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game was lost when bridges shot too soon and we gave up a layup. To start the 4th offense fell apart and gave up the lead with SGA on the bench.

Fire thibs.

Offense looked crisp most of the game. Best I've seen all season I would say. Then it all fell apart.

The reality of it all is that us finishing strong was akin to asking a marathon runner to finish their event with a 10 second / 100m pacing

[KnicksGadfly]

Man...we have a road trip game to Chicago next. Just keep our guys healthy. That's all I ask, Thibs. It's okay to take an L next game if we can keep the guys healthy.

I really just hate to lose due to biased officiating. If we lost fair and square I would take it on the chin.

But all night long I watched the Thunder hack and wack the Knicks in the paint between Brunson and KAT, getting no calls while some random Thunder scrubs go in the paint and get whistles off barely any contact. Where is the respect? Where is the fair officiating?

It's hard to watch the NBA sometimes man.

Yea I agree but just a feeling. One of those games we should have won and then next time we put up a stinker and they make shots.

If I believed we would learn something from this loss, I would have said good loss. But Thibs won’t change. He thinks playing starters more than any other team is something like a cheat code. He thinks this way we can outscore other teams’ bench and that would be an advantage. And it works out well most of the time especially against inferior teams. Well guess what? There is always a breaking point and tonight was one. We needed a bench tonight to keep starters fresh. Instead, Thibs rode them harder than usual and we have this outcome.

[matchman]

Hopefully OG's elbow is ok.

Next game is tough (away vs Bulls with less than 24 hours) but we need to regroup and go again.

This team needs their fans on the rematch against OKC next week.

Peace.

[F N 11]

The die on 1 pick defense is starting to get sickening.

[Wildcat]

Either trust the bench or get this guy people he trusts. I hate that Thibs turned me into the minute police.

[Context]

The open 3's killed us...the thunder's chemistry is elite...

!!!!!!!!

Sam Quinn isn’t wrong that we’d benefit from another player. But I think we already have the pieces

[KnicksGadfly]

We really gotta get KAT some plays where he gets to spam 3s. 0 threes a game hurts this team.

[MrDollarBills]

Thibs might wanna not have the starters push 40 mins at the start of the 4th but whatever

[3toheadmelo]

Well we get to run it back with them next Friday. If we lose to them again, then this team really is a fake contender. Guess we’ll see what happens.

I hate to whine about officiating but I'm getting tired of ignoring it too...

Yes, yes, yes. I just referenced Queta in my rant a few posts up in the thread.
