PG: 0-5 Thunder 128 Knicks 122

[Red Vines]

I keep waiting to see if there's a method behind the coaching madness or some genius I'm missing...nope. Goodnight.

[R-DAWG]

Fisher makes every game 5-6

You should be proud when you compete hard against the 4th best tea in the league without your best player.

When your "competing" for a playoff spot and can't beat Charlotte or Brooklyln your a garbage team.

This Knicks team is a garbage team. It's not better than the team Phil Jackson took over 24 months ago.

It's still James Dolans world that we are living in.

Here we go

Is this team better than it was 24 months ago?

I'll tell you one thing, the head coach is much worse.

This team should not be 3 games under 500

Well they fought and played some good basketball but without Melo, it was tough. I have no idea why he kept giving it to Afflalo in isos. I think he gave the Thunder a gift. Right after Porzingis made the backwards layup, things were tilting toward a Knicks win. Keep that mojo going. After that the ball stopped moving and we went to Afflalo isos.

[AmazingJason]

If Melo doesn't trip on that F******** referee we are probably 5 games over .500 right now. That sense of urgency was on point and we were not losing no leads and no games against teams we are suppose to beat.

At least when Melo gets assaulted in the paint, there's a small shot the refs will call a foul.

But there's nobody to call anything if the ref fouls Melo

[F N 11]

People who are saying good game don't know how huge of a win this would of been. The Raptors now have won 9 in a row. So on paper that an L. 4 games under .500 is not where we wanna be. SERIOUSLY

This is it... fisher doesn't even show consistency these days. Early on it was more just being absurdly stubborn. And now he'll show flashes of making the right decisions, and revert right back to awful execution. Final 2 min of regulation and OT was a good example of the latter. This should've been a win.

God I hate this **** "coach"

This man is slowly approaching Isiah Thomas levels of hatred with me.

I question Fisher's decision to not play Lopez during that 4th quarter when OKC had Ibaka and Adams on the court.

I hope Afflalo opts out

[Jay10]

Kristaps saves the Knicks from Iso-Melo, and Carmelo saves the Knicks from Iso-Afflalo.

[F N 11]

I just want 1 talented guard. One a over average stud jesus

[ladron628]

I hope Afflalo opts out

Yeah, that's the tough part of all of this... He costs us games, but conversely it would behoove us to let him showcase whatever it is he can do so that he can dupe someone into giving him a nice deal this summer.

Every time Fisher says something it reminds me of this scene from Highlander. Fisher = cops

Most of those plays were Afflalo postups down the stretch. They didn't execute any KP pick-n-pops, no PNRs, no cuts, basically that was the play(s). Pathetic.

It's always good to play hard especially vs. the 2 best players in the NBA (outside of Curry). But at this stage of the season, you cannot get moral victories.

Sixer just beat phx. Why are we passing up pg that can clearly help this team.

[offense]

funny how people hate on AA but then blow him when he is doing well. bipolar much?

Good thing I am consistent and don't praise him.
He is what he is. Poor defender who is a black hole on offense. Basically the guard version of Al Jefferson or Kanter but not as good and that isn't a good player.

Sometimes he scores a ton but more often than not he hurts you with his ball stopping and poor defense.

AA was a good defender, injuries might have slowed him down. He is also a good locker room player.

beg pardon ?

[moocow007]

Kristaps saves the Knicks from Iso-Melo, and Carmelo saves the Knicks from Iso-Afflalo.

Maybe the solution is to make Afflalo the head coach so he can save us from Fisher?

[R-DAWG]

my goal in life

not be qualified for a job
get paid 25 million for said job
go out of my way to prove that i shouldn't have job if i paid $25 million for it

- derek fisher


now let me head to LA to get in between the sheets with my friends wife because why focus on my $25 million job

Again in the post game they are happy that we gave effort. Hahn saying people want to fast forward the cause but we are not there yet.

Afflalo just said we are a playoff team and we need to come out with this effort every night and moving forward its time to show it.

Bold statement
