with the feeling of "I hate to lose"
Yup we have talent, defenders, shooters, but not enough "refuse to lose guys". This is where we misss Ihart, Divo and even Randle most.
Also Precious seems to be regressing, and Hart is losing gas and confidence.
WOuldn't it be nice to see how Kolek would orchestrate with these guys? Why cant we see that Thibs?
i am willing to admit, even if i havent interacted with Randle, he strikes me as the guy that "hates to lose" as if it was written all over his face. Perhaps that emotion of his, rubs to the entire roster.
These guys look chill -- way too chill, No edge. Maybe why PJ was brought in.

That's beyond KAT, that dirtbag never has anything good to say about the Knicks. So it's like our players' cheek touching his azz.

I felt bad for Kat. He wanted this game and most of his teammates let him down with not only their play, but by hugging and playing around with Draymond after the game. This team isn't tight like we're led to believe. There's no way you disrespect my brother like that and then I'm chilling with the guy who disrespected him. Weak!

Bad post.
Knicks players walking over to congratulate Draymond Green is pathetic. And you blame Thibs for that? If I was Dolan, I’d fine each and every player that did that.
Did Thibs run over and congratulate Draymond?
I'd blame Thibs to a degree. If I was coaching, I'd have a little amped up speech pregame to the squad about how that prick Draymond disrespected our brother and now we need to kick some ass!

Post all-star break we were 26th in the league offensively BEFORE Brunson went out. The offense has been in free fall for months now, from the new year to Brunson's injury we were 15th, that's 33 games.
We don't take enough threes, and we don't run enough PnRs. We play an antiquated brand of basketball that was all talent based, and once teams figured out you could guard Hart with a big we have never been able to adjust.

and he won't do anything to kick start the scoring.
Like why invest in a 24 year old plug and play backup guard that was suppose to be the best passer in the draft to not use him at all.
With Cam Payne struggling and Brunson hurt it would be a perfect time to see what Kolek can do in 10-12 minutes. A guy that can run P&R offense and get the team some decent looks.
Its not like Cam Payne is some lock down defender...he is an all or nothing prayer 3 pt shoter.

Yeah. I know folks are upset about the players being cordial with Draymond, but the bigger issue is this. The way that the team plays is just unacceptable for the amount of talent and money being invested into this group. KAT having to bully his way into a wall of defenders to hit tough shots isn't sustainable offense.
Meh. We've beaten the horse to death at this point.

Randle had all the energy this team needed badly. I tried to tell yall our team was entirely soft and diva minded outside of the few guys we got rid of this offseason.
Idk how nobody saw Brunsons diva side pop out after Randle dislocated his shoulder but the signs were there. That energy is needed to keep Brunson focused and in check otherwise there’s too much hero ball and complaining going around. Not to mention Randle had the respect of his peers and he wasn’t someone anyone was about to talk crazy to like they do with KAT.
We have some great players but we completely lost our identity and toughness that we had. Oh well. We just need a coach that can maximize this type of roster
