PG: Knicks vs. Warriors: Pathetic Part II

[snadler]

We had a 100 ORTG


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.

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.

I’m more alarmed at the lack of true camaraderie than the result of the game. Winning without Brunson against this team was a long shot, but not truly standing by your teammate is unacceptable. The team outside of Brunson lacks heart. Someone like Isiah Stewart would go a long way

Lacking heart is the wrong word, last night under those conditions, in golden state, minus Brunson having a chance to win all while holding them under 100 showed a ton of heart. Tell that no heart BS to Deuce who literally played his heart out defending Curry like he did all while playing a very solid offensive game. This team last night showed plenty of heart, if you want to say they lack the physicality they used to have and are a more finesse team yes, there is no doubt

We’re soft. When Royce O’Neal was punking Brunson in the Phoenix game and the team stood by watching it and did nothing, that’s all you needed to know. They don’t have that dog in them.

The Celtics don’t have a dog on their team either. You could realistically say they traded their only “dog” (Smart) and won a title. It’s not the end of the world if we don’t have an enforcer.

if someone attempts that **** in a 90's game, expect retaliation

[knicks94]

Place the donkey from Shrek on any team that doesn’t have a top 5 player of the past 15 years and he’ll go ringless.

Morning thoughts

1. Hate games on ABC! Penis head Jefferson and that old hag Doris are not good. Can't ABC find better alternatives?

2. KAT is so good on offense but equally bad on defense. And this is the game where you give Green a flagrant foul and send his ass to the floor! I know players and people in general today were raised differently but **** like that annoys me.

3. Deuce balled out! Kept us in it! Good to see the national audience see he can play.

4. Hart was awful on both ends. It happens. Glad both he and Thibs squashed that little yelling match. **** like that happens on every team. Not a big deal unless Hart went Spree on him. Riley used to yell at Starks and Ewing every other game. I know, I know, different times.

4. Cut Tucker today. Dude is useless.

5. Kal hugging Green after the game really pissed me off! Maybe KAT and Kal aren't good friends but that's your teammate! You don't dap the opposing player who called your teammate soft! This after he broke the code of airing out **** to the media about minutes too. Kal is digging his own grave.

It's a generational issue. Players today, except for maybe 4-5, aren't going to stand up for one of their teammates or even themselves. Not surprised by it anymore.

It’s probably Jaylen Brown, but their talent is what carries them.

It's not rocket science...you make your shots you win, you miss your shots you lose...

[Gravy]

Bench with only four points, Hart zero points and no Brunson makes it almost impossible to win against a good team in the road.

[prophet_of_rage]

Finished the game.

Bench got a look and it sucks outside of Deuce.

Payne is useless against organized teams. Hart needs to be a secondary next to a primary playmaker. If he's being gusrded as a centre let him start in the low box and come out. At least the center has to watch his body. He shouldn't be end of game if the others aren't shooting well.

Thibs expanded the rotation. Precious wasn't interested in playing. Mitch wasn't in shape. Payne proving Thibs right. Hart with no points.

And we only lost by 3.

Only four players scored more than 2 points. Thibs was right the bench is trash.

As bad as Josh was who else should have been subbed in for him down the stretch?

[F N 11]

Thibs killing team chemistry.

Just know Thibs had a meeting to slow it down clown.

He isn’t a dog. In fact Draymond was doing his antics in the finals and Horford didn’t do a single thing lol.

So true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGreenArrow]

People coming around on Randle. Only took over half a season.

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

Your sig aging like fine wine!
