We're in a math hole against this team, the reason they can hang around or blow us out really just comes down to the three. At a certain point it's just math, and in this case we're on the wrong side of it. They've taken 26, we've taken 15, if there were no three point line we'd probably be the best team in the league, but we just don't value the shot the way we should.

Thibs needs to go.

Why does OG only have 4 points when none of these guys can physically defend him?

with brunson back we are going to have less higher scoring games from OG and Bridges that is just the way its going to be unless teams are doubling or trapping.

there job is to play defense first and be a threat to score 2nd especially when KAT is cookin.

Need to get OG back into the offense and not depend on KAT to win

When he plays like this, Thibs doesn't have the balls to sit him and put another body in there. Everyone has bad games, but it's the coach's job to recognize that and make the necessary adjustments.

i often wonder if the knicks wouldn't have been better off trading for claxton, cam johnson and dorian finney-smith instead from the nets. i think that would have cost less than five picks.

Solid first half. Finally we got KAT in the post against the shorter defenders and he's making them pay. I fully expect Boston to counter in the 2nd half. Let's see if Thibs can keep up with the chess match.
Fire Thibs!

relax


He did this same sh*t versus Philadelphia from when he was on the Nets.

I'm not saying this sh*t for my health. He is not built for high intensity games.

OG should be the one with 7 FGAs and not him.

Cam Johnson is significantly better than mikal alone

Payne has been crap tonight. We could use Wright but Thibs will never do it.

Has Mikal showed up against any of the top teams in the league? Talk about a man who is not built for big moments.

Maybe Mikal goes as much as OG rises.
