Have to protect home court here. The Knicks have lost a handful of games, and OKC has to take advantage of Utah's recent skid.

Yeah time to creat some distance from the pack. It's nice to be leading the division but a little cusion would sure be sweet.

I want to see some Amare vs Ibaka. I do not want to see Amare vs green.

Well Amare spends a lot of time at the 5 so I don't think Amare vs Green will be that common. And hopefully Krstic won't play that much with this matchup.

Ibaka and Collison are the only people I really wanna see on Amare. I'd rather have Durant than Green or Krstic.

come on, play with some defensive intensity. They are too in love with their offense this year, I think a exit in the playoffs by not playing god enough defense will hit them where it hurts. I hope it doesn't come to that though.

green -9 at half. I wonder how many games jeff has had the worst +/- on the team this season? seems like nearly every game.

Same old, same old. Undisciplined defense, selfish offense... Jeff Green chucking mid range jumpers, a lot of isolations and little ball movement, Russ and KD the only offensive threats because of this. Shooting below 40% against the Knicks.

The issues with this team are obvious but it seems like most are disinterested in fixing them.

the sad thing is nothing will change until the losses pile up. signs of a coach who is scared and unconfident...brooks is just hoping they win enough to keep his job safe.

Can't believe how pathetic the offense has been. Durant and Westbrook have no interest in playing team basketball. The Knicks are not a good defensive team.

knicks are guarding neither green nor sefolosha from the perimeter...not that I blame them. rare to see that in an nba game.

Typical Westbrook play. Makes the put back jam, on the other end leaves his man wide open for the three pointer (off the switch).

Westbrook is by far our worst defensive player this season. Even worse than Green, IMO.
