Knicks basically using our defenders' raised arms/hands as cross-hairs for their 3-ball shooters.

He looks like a bigger James Harden out there, except he moves a bit faster & defends a bit better. :lol:

I would kill to have Kenny back.

I think PJ could coach this team much better. Today.

I really don’t have an issue with Nash tonight.

We’ve got a lot of players who make a lot of low IQ decisions getting a lot of burn because of injuries.

The Knicks getting extremely hot from 3 plus us making dumb decisions on offense was going to lead to 20+ pt difference.

When you’ve got Carter bombing 3s away because your only trusted offensive threat is getting hounded, what can you expect?

I can’t wait for our main guys to get healthy so I don’t have to watch our reserves play.

At this rate we probably fall to a 10 seed.

Take away the top four players on any team right now and see how much blame the coach gets

Your argument would make sense if we didn't suck with Harden AND Kyrie. And just Kyrie.

This loss wouldn't matter if didn't just blow 11 in a row.

How much did you suck when you were the 2nd seed less than a month ago with Kyrie barley playing at all?

The team with Harden and Kyrie sucked because Harden, who wouldn't even make the all nba 3rd team if the vote was today was the lead guy and you were still missing 2/4 best players.

Kevin Durant was doing everything.

If you have Kyrie-Harden you should be at least .500. The fact that youre defending a team with two all stars losing 11 straight is insane.

Get off our forum with your horrendous takes.

But seriously, look at our personnel for this game. Seth Curry is our best player, and it isn't even close. This is simply a really bad team, no two ways about it. Our top 4 players are all out, what do you really expect? Beating the Kings the way we did says way more about how bad the Kings are than us actually being any good.

Yeah, this is how I feel about the game as well.

We're down guys but this isn't rocket science. If the team is so desperate to play James Johnson - he should ONLY play next to LMA or Blake at C. Edwards should always be next to Drummond. And considering Edwards is literally 1 of 4 shooters we have active, he should be playing at least 30 MPG.

I'm done with this game but this stuff is so elementary, I don't understand what the coaching staff is doing - or what the front office is doing letting the coaches play these dumb lineups. The only thing I can think of is that Nash is doing his best to get fired so he can stop going to work and keep getting paid. There's no way Nash, Vanderpool, Vaughn get together and think any of this is a good idea.

This team is lucky our media and fanbase is so soft on the organization. The Knick media would be CRUSHING the coaches for these decisions. They would be ALL over the Nets for how they're handling the Joe Harris injury.

I get what you're saying but we're on pace to lose by 40+ to a team that's 25-33 and 2-8 in their last 10. Expecting the team to compete isn't asking for too much. ESPECIALLY when we're 1-11 in our last 12.

Keep the faith, fam. The Knicks' ridiculous 3-ball shooting is probably not sustainable, and we're bound to start hitting some of our own.

3pt_chucker · Post #76 » by **3pt_chucker** » Thu Feb 17, 2022 2:08 am

Johnson is not quite TLC level but he's def a dumb foul machine

Kyrie who barely played with the team all season, and Harden who is barely playing above Fred VanVleet offensively and is one of the worst perimeter defenders in the league had a bad stretch over 11 game set while still missing 2/4 best players.

Get off the forum and start watching some games.

Its not even fair to hate on James Johnson.

Hes an 11th man being forced to play 30 minutes.

WTF was that James Johnson??

James Johnson needs to be waived tonight
