Knicks are a good first quarter team but a bad fourth quarter team.

NBA rank 8th in first quarter scoring margin
NBA rank 19th in 2nd quarter scoring margin
NBA rank 18th in 3rd quarter scoring margin
NBA rank 26th in 4th quarter scoring margin

We certainly witnessed the dual effect last night vs Chicago where we blew the doors off them in the 1st and hung on for a close victory.
I attribute both the hot starts and cold finishes to Thibs coaching ability and coaching style. 
He gets his players ready to play evidenced by the hot starts.
He wears those players down evidenced by the weak finishes.
Leon Rose can help by bringing in more quality talent so that the overall team talent is better distributed and there is enough to win games at the end.

I’ll take Cunningham and FSU’s Scottie Barnes with our two firsts & see how we do.

8 minutes into the game and it is 20-10 NY

I sure wish Quickley had started

Hey Les, I think this Chamaco musing is directed at you, my doggie.

Lol, kiid is way too much of a coward to direct anything at me. He's never had any balls....

Anyway, good to see him join the Quickley should start group. Now....about that PER

Big 1Q from Elf & Randle.

Mr. Thibs brings IQ & Rivers in together (often with Burks in a 3G alignment).
Then Elf & Reg replace them.  I like both pairings.  For now, Knox has become the 11th man, and out of the rotation.

CHI sure willing to take bad shots.
Patrick Will enigmatic.  Goes quiet or looks unsure.  Then makes some plays.
I guess that's being 19 in a weirdly (un)structured offense.

Thad played hard, got 5 steals.
Every time Bulls make a run, Knix have responded ... so far.
I'm only through 3Q's right now.

ObiT went under a screen just before the half -- a Thibs NoNo.
Still not a fan of Burks D -- check out 1 min into the 2Q where he overhelps inside on a drive leaving his man wide open for a kickout 3.  He does that at least once a game.

Elf's strong game limiting Quix minutes.

Real sloppy endgame.

Odd thing is Bulls rebound with 21 secs left down 5.
Coby White is pushing the ball upcourt.
Looks like a Bulls 4-on-3.  With Mitch down on the floor.
And CHI calls a timeout.
Er ... looked like a good op to get a quick score.

Then after the timeout, Bulls turn it over on the inbounds.
Then everyone throws the ball around weirdly.

"Thad played hard"

I like this player some, but.....

Single most ridiculous play was at the end of the 3rd, Knicks up 12, Randle bringing ball up with 5 ticks left.

Steps up to the three point line.  Young watches as Julius nails three at the buzzer.

Is that coaching?  Or on the player?  I didnt get it.

As for NBA overall defense - players coming out so young prior to having proper training - and not getting it at the AAU level - leading to all these high scores (NBA defense rules do not help, true)

Shit - I could have held FVV to 40

Thad has always been one of my favorite players. He’s aged like fine wine.

Capela had 8 O-boards, shot 3-14 FG with 0 FT's.
Seems hard to do.

Big win without Dame or McCollum. Melo +26 and Enes + 25.

Dallas Knicks not good, but NY wasn’t playing, so it don’t really count. Anyway, good for you Kamster 😉

If Dallas can keep their D clicking like this, we should have a very exciting draft.

What did the Mavs talk about after this loss?

Jalen Brunson: "Defense. Defense, defense, defense."

What specifically about the defense?

Brunson: "We've got to play it."
