Official NY Knicks 2021 preseason

[ny mavurs]

Not having IQ tonight was huge. They struggled to guard Rose and if IQ played at the same time they would've put up major points on a night where the offense stalled

I really miss IQ man

 

[redd spyder]

A silver lining in this loss to me is that I rather RJ learn this hard lesson now rather than In the playoffs. he can’t take it in that situation when he is that cold and our main guy is right beside him while he’s had the hot hand AGAINST his drafted team...situational awareness is RJs homework

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Woke up to pain.

We gotta win out.

 

[keko jones]

How would this work?

Luca
Levine
RJ
Randle
Noel

Rose
IQ
Bullocks
Obi
Taj

Obviously, trying to keep the team intact as much as possible if we can hit on a PG.

Losing to the Lakers ain’t it

The good: RJ isn't afraid to be the center of attention in a big moment

The bad: RJ's game as it is now is not big moment approved

Do we have any real out of timeout plays? Everything is an ISO, you either overload on Randle or let RJ turn it over on his own doing.

Last night had the feel of a vintage Melo game

That was a really entertaining game. Not mad at the loss at all. This team is gonna be really good in a few seasons. I’m satisfied with this whole season.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

REALLY tough to win an OT game on the road. Especially against the defending champs. We're at the very least competitive and that's encouraging.

TBH, we should've won last night. But we're not there YET. Another piece and another year together with the core, and we can make some noise. We need a superstar in the worst way. Kawhi or Beal would be excellent fits.

The commentating last night was nauseating to say the least

Let's be honest. That L just solidified a gentlemen's sweep by the Bucks

I don't think so. Bucks shoot/make the second most FG's in the NBA, and we happen to be 4th in opponents attempting the least FG's. We could win 2 games, maybe

 

[floodarea]

not to take anything away from this season but i don’t see us making it out of the first round regardless of who we play if Thibs is willing to die on that Payton hill

Extremely hard matchup but let’s see what kind of tactics Thibs comes up with against Giannis.

Not too difficult. Slow the pace down and build a wall around Giannis. We can win 2 games.

at this point payton's being used as a filler to give rose more leeway for the later stages of the game. it's not enough though when a player like payton is one step forward and three steps back. even frank subbed in was more productive on both ends, but our already shortened rotation isn't enough at this most important time

SAS, CHA, nd BOS

I already know.... Classic Broadway performance

 

[don ramon]

we did it!!

LMAO

edit - they are playing the crapaliers though

 

[zack15]

I don't ever wanna see him on the floor again

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Bench Elfrid, play Frank.

What’s the alternative ?

 

[tramericanjr]

Bench Elfrid, play Frank.

Frank isn’t better than Elfrid that’s the thing ... yes he can hit a shot or two but he really isnt

 

[floodarea]

What’s the alternative ?

allocating his minutes between IQ, Rose, Frank and Burks obviously
