Agreed.

Pretty sure we overlooked the Pacers to get to this game.

We’re comfortable being the hunters and not yet used to being the hunted.

Of course, now RJ and Obi will play like complete disasters. Such is life.

I can’t believe already we are getting back to hoping only young players play well this early lol. It’s been a while.

A win today would go a long way towards regaining momentum.

This is both a winnable game and a terrible potential loss rolled into one since they're without Jrue, Brook and Middleton.

Giannis could beat this whole team if he feels like it, hopefully he doesn’t feel like it

If we lose we are a terrible team in the lotto, if we win we beat the champs so we are contenders. Either way we riot!

It would be sweet if we somehow win this game so you guys can stop being such a buzzkill. I miss our early October vibes, even if they were founded on delusion. Maybe those new analytics dorks will help Tom make better in-game adjustments and fix IQ's brain.

Just need to grind out games until we shore up our rotation/defense. As long as we stay competitive and we show signs of improvement I'll be as happy as the lamb.

Do I watch this game, or go work out instead?

I'll let RealGM decide.

Ok some good statistical analysis and discussion on the team .



11:45 knicks offensive stats. The knicks have great offensive stats. Nearly elite. Offense is not the problem .

Notes: this guy says shooting many 3’s is good for a knicks team that has great shooters . 37-40 attempts , sounds like a lot but I get his point. He said the same thing last year and he was right .
Also ball movement .


The problem is defense .

19:14 Knicks defensive stats. Knicks are bad at some defensive categories . Fast break points is hurting them , 3 point makes and attempts allowed , and opponent turnover %.

Knicks aren’t turning the opponent over, not making life hard .
Not getting back defensively to stop fast breaks .
Allowing to many 3 point makes and attempts , in my opinion gotta do a better job of defending the 3 point line as whole.
