Good idea, save Bo before his unvaxxed a$$ ends up in one of those bodybags.
Sadly, Z and the posse are already on a humanitarian mission assisting in the defense of Kyiv. Grit and grind.

Man, that last sequence.

How can Barrett bring the ball up and NOT know he's gotta throw up a 3 as soon as he can?
IQ would have been much better in that situation.

And then he made both of the fouls?? Just painful.

At least with Fournier's fuck up, the idea was good. That play had Robinson all alone under the basket.

Anyhow, yeah, the Knicks can't quite figure out how to win these games.

I did think Simms played great. The way he ran out to double Durant play after play, and then streak back to play D and get a rebound. Strong active energy.

lol, that painful sequence was only the next-to-last. The actual last sequence was equally mind-numbing. 1.8 left and he tries to toss the ball to a player INSIDE the three point arc. We are way too stupid for the play in. Bring the lotto!

But  a good team, with some offseason tweaks.

Hit the HR if you can this summer but take the 2-bagger

Fo now how about some Arcidiacano?  Miles is efforting on D but not much else.  Needs time.

Well, maybe....maybe...with so little clock, it's one of those plays where you heave it down, and then the player immediately taps the ball to a teammate for a three.

But, yeah, I wouldn't put a wager on that.

Hey, we couldn't execute in the final frames, but I thought we played a really tough, competitive game. 

Like so many games that have slipped away as on a stray banana peel, it was winnable, and we played well enough to win...but.  THAT's what a point guard is there for. 

Even if Rose comes back, he is going to be rusty, but hey, Knicks haven't given up, on themselves, the season, or Coach Thibs. 

A little late in the season, but our bell cow Julius sure has come around, simplifying his game, more decisive and zeroing in on his mid and long jumpers, though not settling so much. 

Something I think Doris Burke pointed out, which is part of our problem offensively, besides being so methodical, and she was using The GOD Durant as Exhibit A, which is...and I am paraphrasing...

"If you give the ball up, once, twice, you are going to get it back, and for a better shot."

This is a faux pas which JR inevitably makes in crunch time.  If we were to follow this dicitum, and add some cutters and movement, we could get better shots. 

As for everyone here playing a chorus of oh woe is me, it was a gritty competitive game, and we lost by a basket. 

ON The +/- Side, our leaders were:

Sims, a +20 [6-10-2-1] in 23 minutes. 

McBride, a +13 [2 assists] in 11 minutes.

Obi, a +7 [8-4] in 8 minutes.

And as a team, we were 18-21 from the FT line. 

So, all might be lost, but are building something for the future. 

I mean, Dallas beat the Celtics in Boston, and we destroyed them on their home floor, for fuck's sake. 



So, yes, TO BE A KNICKS FAN IS TO SUFFER.  But it ain't grasping for straws to accept whatsoever scraps from the table fall our way.  We are competing, with some significant contributors MIA, due to injuries, right?  Rose, Noel, Reddish, Grimes.

That is your position (and Chamaco is on your bandwagon too).

Not everybody is happy with coach Thibs. Just sayin...

I feel you.

Don't think a pink slip is the answer.

Maybe an offensive coordinator.

And Jokubaitis.

I would like more motion and cutters, more pace.

The camp out in the corners and watch sets not a tenable fourth quarter scheme.
