PG: Knicks lose to Thunder

[Clyde_Style]

Get Deuce and Mitch back, sign TJ Warren, trade precious and picks for Jonas, play deuce, Mitch, Warren, Payne, jonas

Have you watched TJ Warren play in Westchester? He looks like he's moving through molasses. In the winter.

Scouting Report:

Thick & Syrupy

[thebuzzardman]

This team cannot compete with the big boys.

0-3 against Boston,Cleveland and OKC.

Mitchell Robinson is exactly what they are missing.

I'm sure when he plays the last 10 games of the season but isn't in game shape, he'll make a tremendous difference.

[The KnicksFix]

out bench should be

Mitch
Warren
Hart
McBride
Kolek

Move Hart back to starting lineup
Sub Payne for Kolek
Maybe trade precious for Jonas, or keep precious

Mitch
Precious
Warren
Deuce
Payne

You realize after all that that those benches still aren't that good, right?

Have to come up with at least something. We can’t let the trade deadline pass and not add a piece, regardless of how minute it may be, we basically have this trade deadline, the offseason and next trade deadline to complete this bench, whereby we we essentially need to add 2 more noteworthy pieces to pair with deuce and Mitch

[HEZI]

Played great in the first half. Came out sloppy in the 3rd quarter then lost all momentum by the 4th.

Bench is still pretty weak especially without Deuce

OKC was on the 2nd night of a b2b and they had the fresher legs in the 4th. Our guys looked tired in the 4th. Thibs is an idiot who needs to understand we need to play the bench.

We went from having the strongest bench to the weakest within 3 seasons. At one point we had Quickley, Grimes, Toppin, Hart, and Hartenstein coming off the bench. I understand losing Quickley and Hartenstein but giving away Grimes and Toppin for peanuts was idiotic. We never replaced their production. If we had that bench with our current team we’re a championship contender. They need to decide what they want to do with Mitch. If they’re keeping him, then you need to move Hart to the bench to improve the bench. If they’re trading him, then you need to trade him for bench scoring and develop Hukporti as the backup C.

The crazy thing about last night, nobody will remember this game once the playoffs start. We often times as fans and understandably so look at every game as 1 game seasons and sure last night had some extra juice with the winning streaks and all, but in reality the game meant nothing. Sure some say litmus test etc, but OKC being in the west it really isn’t unless they meet in the finals. I know winning last night would have had the same crazy responses the other way if they had won. I think this group in particular losing this game is better in the long run, as they develop their chemistry they will learn from this loss, AND leon who has been sensational realizes if not more so after the loss, better depth is needed. The classic case of losing the battle to win the war.

you couldnt have said that any better. That was such a bad start to the 3rd for us. It was so disappointing to me.

I think I saw Dollars mention that he wants OG to rest. Last night I also saw 2010 mention that when OG fell that essentially
changed the vibes. I dont agree with Dollars- I want OG to play. I agree with 2010. It did change the vibes. OG needs to
come out more focused then ever and look to play his best game of the season. There was obviously some hesitation from him after the fall and I know its because of his injury history. Well, if all of the xrays are clear - and he's just bruised up a bit- OG
you need to play tonight -do not sit out and feed your mind more thoughts of injury.

Brunson...Captain...you need to come out in this game and make sure Kat is getting enough looks.

Kat you need to stop looking for the fouls-if you are not getting the calls- work around it to get what you want.

When our Knicks came out to start the 3rd- I feel like they had a short slow start. The aggression (even for that moment) was gone.
Thats all a team like OKC needs. We have to be better. We have to be more consistent.

when we took control of that game on the road- it was a thing of beauty. Can't wait for tonight's game!

JB's play hasn't set well with me recently. I hoped that sleeping the L lost would have changed my perspective a bit, but what is going on with this dude and his shots? 3-34 from 3 point range in his last 6 or so games is abysmal. If he's hurt, he needs to sit.

[koogiking]

We have a long way to go, but I'm glad that we're an above average / good team

That’s the ball game right there folkssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can’t win when the “PG” chucks away the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Towns and bridges were carrying us all night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And barely touched the ball in the 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely disgusting to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anytime Brunson scores more than 35 points, you are officially not allowed to post anything good about it.

With the way he’s been playing I won’t have to worry about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the exception of that 55point game he’s been absolutely awful to watch over the past 6 games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Context]

Any of you notice something on this play?

As great as Kat has been, I still trust Brunson with crunch time offense over him, I blame the loss on Thibs

I blame Thibs, too.

But also JB is 3-34 from 3 point land in 6 or so games. He's had more zero 3PT make games this season than all of last season. He frankly has to do better. If he's hurt, sit. He's doing pre-JB Randle things out there, and I hate it.

iHart not even close to inbounds. Between this and the other call of out of bounds, they decided to overturn for no reason when the Thunder had no challenges remaining when even on replay it was super close and hard to tell for sure...

The fix was definitely in.

Kind of rooting for Brunson to miss 25 games with an injury so you can see how sh*t your takes are.

Because they’re on the floor longer or because the fatigue causes injury? How does practice time factor in? Why is Orlando so injury prone?

[knicks94]

What I learned about this game is that iHart is far from the one hit wonder that I thought he was.
