Rj had taj for the lob.....

[DOT]

Yeah, it sucks

All we can do is hope Miami drops one and we win out. Even if we don't, and we get bounced in the first round, this season was still a win, and we have a very good base to build off of

Just stop playing Elfrid, please.

Thibs is great for defense and culture but he really could delegate the offensive side of it because he's not next level tactician on that end.

Knicks lose a tough one, and now RJ is trash and Thibs needs to delegate offensive strategy to another coach lmao.

Gotta sleep this one off, Knicks fans. Really tough loss but still a great season and I still have my eye on the 4th seed with more games to play. Playoff bound regardless. And let us remember- we've got a really great bunch of seasons on the horizon with a revamped FO, coaching staff and culture.. plus a young core destined for continual improvement.

See, ya gotta have gratitude in this life when things seem to be going badly. That's how you climb out of the gutter mentally, and turn negative events into positive learning experiences.

All Thibs does is ISO and if the player doesn't hit the tough contested shots then the Knicks lose, if they hit them the Knicks win....that's the sum of his offense in crunch time. Every time, that is a recipe of losing close games if you don't have the best tough shot makers in the league and the Knicks don't have them. Randle has made a few and missed a few, he's average as a go to guy.

Thibs offensive scheming struggles have been the same all season and in the playoffs it will be exposed because he doesn't have the elite shooters to cover for his lacking. How hard is that to understand? Oh, you didn't, you ramble off a bunch of nonsense that's in your head not what I said so why did you even quote me if you talk to yourself? I will be gateful if you go away, ok?

That’s a pretty rough assessment for game 6 of a 6 game Western swing 68 games in with your two best bench shooters injured. Not to mention our best rebounder and only (non-Obi) lob finisher still out.

The thibs offense isn’t genius, but it does rely on the iso player to penetrate and kick. RJ being ice cold and Bullock being MIA tonight made it come down to ISO Rose & Randle.

One thing Julius could work on is finishing as the roll man. He pretty much exclusively looks to pop or reset for an iso post.

Full arsenal of shooters (or god forbid leaving in Frank when he’s hot), and the offense is fine. Not great, but not terrible either.

[NewKnicks]

Yeah y'all suck. This one hurt but our star player just out played AD in his building and Rose and everyone else who played left it all out there. 3-3 on that road trip is fine. Still control our destiny. If we go 2-1 in our last 3 we probably get in the 4-5. I'm not sweating it too much. Have a feeling this team responds well and goes 3-0 in 3 winnable games.

Can't be all positive so I'll say this... sit Elf please lol

We no longer control our own destiny. Not after today's loss we don't.

Get Vildoza here ASAP

I’d prolly rather play MIL than MIA.

Rj had taj for the lob.....

Like the guy said no way was RJ going to be able to throw that lob over Drummond with Matthews waiting to pick it up. It was just a bad play. We needed to get the ball in Randle’s hands and we didn’t

[TheGreenArrow]

Dude Twitter trolls out here calling Rj Barrett the “maple shabazz Mohammed”



I’m done!!!!

Yeah but with what the final shot ended up being it may have been worth the risk!!!

[Guano]

flexibility is nice - it's why i'm not a fan of paying role players big long contracts (Lonzo, VanFelton, Bertrans, ect)

Then you go on two weeks later mentioning in a different thread how

Lonzo ball is one of the final pieces to the puzzle

My reputation? LMAO. Stop flip flopping.

Because you've done this on about half of your opinions. The only thing I can say you're consistent with is payton sucks. Which I think the whole world agrees.

Do me a favor and don't try to drive the PG off topic by trying to target my reputation. You don't want to read something I write well then don't.

It's people like you that makes things toxic. Am I mad and irate about barret of course. He just cost us the 4th seed. Single handily made us lose.

I honestly don't think he will be a super star. I think he can make it to all-star maybe once or twice and be a good 3rd 4th option if he can become consistent, learn how to play defense ETC. Long long way to go.


Do me a huge favor. if you don't want me to air our you're dirty laundry then stay away from me .

yo - link that "lonzo ball is the final piece" quote.

smfh - you actually made me do the work

next time let me ruin my own reputation instead of misquoting me - thank you.

I maintain that Lonzo is one of the only main additions this team needs next season. Then, you add the final piece of the puzzle to that core which includes Lonzo and we're all set for at least 4-5 years in contention.

2022-23
Lonzo
Free Agent (Beal, Lavine?)
RJ
Randle
Mitch

we would definitely need a creator at the 2 spot - because that line up puts it all on Randle.


I'm really skeptical of Lonzo being a target if Thibs has a lot of input in the roster. He doesn't fit his mold of a pg who pressure a defense.

Also, the price tag with the inconsistency is a lil off putting.

[BugginOut]

Wishful thinking but maybe this ends up helping our Mavs pick. If the Lakers win out and the Mavs lose two more then Mavs fall to the 7th seed

[Adelheid]

Knicks need a pg badly

How many times have we said this over the past few years? We all sound like a bunch of broken records.

Knicks cant have Randle always handling the ball.

[iLLmatic860]

I’d prolly rather play MIL than MIA.

Lol why?

Mil will be a different team this post season with Jrue

Thibs is not very creative offensively, all season long during the 4th qrts he relies on his players to make tough shots. This isn't something I'm saying for the first time, it's something Ive said even after games when the players make the shots.

So much of the Knicks offense late in games is created off a standstill and really the only action is a screen for the ball handler. Sure, Randle and Rose can make some tough shots but to rely on that is only going to get the Knicks so far.

In this game it didn't help them that the few shooters the Knicks had available weren't that hot, the Knicks missed having other options like IQ and Burks. It's one of the areas the Knicks need a talent upgrade in but if the talent is lesser and the coaching won't make up for that then this is what can happen....and did.

[TheGreenArrow]

Would not be surprised if Drose is out the next game or two!!!

Thibs tried to kill him tonight!!!

[Fat]

Just stop playing Elfrid, please.

That’s how I feel focus on actually clinching the spot before thinking about moving up.

Boston’s next two is cavs/wolves very easy games even without Jaylen then they get us

Knicks next two are spurs/hornets which can honestly go either way.

[Fat]

Wishful thinking but maybe this ends up helping our Mavs pick. If the Lakers win out and the Mavs lose two more then Mavs fall to the 7th seed

Mavs have the pelicans, raptors, wolves pretty easy schedule

But hopefully they lose all

[TheDavinciCHODE]

By far the worst loss of the year, by far..so many mistakes, and now will be lucky to win 1 game in the playoffs as the 6th seed..absolutely disgusting..

drama queen

[TheDavinciCHODE]

Tough loss but played well enough to win even without Quick, Burke, and our starting center. We "should have" won this one - we made some big shots and forced someone other than AD to beat us down the stretch and kudos them to them.

Big putback by Wes, huge and very difficult shot from THT, etc. they hit a lot of shots that I think they wouldn't hit more than 40% of the time if you did it 100 times over.

The only thing that really concerns me is late game situations when the defense is tight. We seem to break down easily and RJ is clearly not ready for that responsibility yet.

LAL has the best player

We have the better team

They were home

game was a toss up IMO.

We got nothing from RJ, they got a lot from their role players and made some very tough shots down the stretch to eek this one out. Don't overthink it either way. If we'd won, not really a huge deal to me.

Yo why am I getting quoted here I didn’t say Lonzo was the final piece of the puzzle I said he’s a good addition and THEN you can add the final piece to the core that includes Lonzo???
