They weren't allowing Harden to shoot, he was being intensely doubled the entire game. Doesn't really work because he is one of the best passers in the game like someone else said

I was thinking the same thing. They are now 3-6 vs .500 and above teams.

I hope the Bucks face them in the 2nd round. Stomping them could help take some of the bad taste out of their mouth from last year and give them a boost for the rest of the playoffs.

Fascinating strategy by Philly to build a team with no guards in 2019.

Might be one of the most poorly constructed “title challengers” ever.

It's a bold strategy. Let's see how it works out for them Cotton

Bertans has the purest stroke in the league. Fast, high, compact. Thing of beauty

I feel a LITTLE ripped off that they waited for one more blowout after we stripped them to the studs and lit them on fire.

There has to be dirt on Dolan. Someone please find it, transfer Knick ownership to the NYC Port Authority and have Desus and Mero work the dry erase boards.

Lifespan on coaches is crazy these days. Does Beilein make it to the all star break? (Half kidding)

I was just thinking the other day how long he would last. Assumed he had a lot of leniency based on how horrible the roster is constructed.

I just can't even wrap my head around the thought process with Dolan and the Knicks front office. I feel at this point that they've all just embraced the idea of being incompetent morons and do this kind of stuff just to troll the rest of the league. Like, you seriously have to not give a **** to be this bad at your job.

People suggesting the Knicks should call Becky Hammon. As much as I'd love to see her get a chance at a head coaching job, I wouldn't wish that job upon anybody.

Fizdale is at best a meh coach but no one was winning with that roster of misfit toys.
