As bad as we were shooting, we managed to hold our own, until the Warriors top tier discipline and execution put us away.
Their ball movement, back cuts, pick and roll, are beautifully executed and a wonder to behold, even as a whuppin' is being administered. They create so many easy shots. Beautiful execution.
And once again, we are permitting a rain of threes to befall us. Our customary third quarter breakdown.
Our puppies McBride and Knox made a good case for themselves in 20 minues apiece, nevertheless, Thibs leaned on Burks and Rose to the tune of 34 and 39 minutes. THIS is concerning.
Julius was more decisive, which was encourating. Leadership? Making his teammates better? Fournier and Burks were a combined 5-20. One could point to Draymond Green as an archetype. Fair enough, but Julius doesn't have Steph Curry to pass to.
DECEMBER 15: One has to wonder why Kemba, his shortcomings notwithstanding, got no burn? Perhaps there is a trade on the table, and they are holding him out, hesitant to get him injured. On the right team he could be an asset. Fournier baffles me. Passive on both sides of the ball. Five shots, four threes. One basket. WTF? Where are his back cuts and drives to the hoop, all that nice two man game he showed early on with JR. One thing is your jumper ain't falling, but his passivity is unsettling. Meanwhile we are piling on the minutes to Burks and Fournier, while "showcasing" Knox, who gives every indication of a possible blossoming, alas, for another team. SIGH. That's our Knicks. Let's see if Scott Perry can pull a rabbit out his hat. Another 2-4 weeks of this, and time to back up the truck, have a fire sale, PLAY OUR PUPPIES, and reboot for the draft and 2022-2023.
