If I have to pick some nits:

2.  I love IQ.  My wife's favorite player.  She loves him.   But man, he's changed.  He's not calling his own number as much.  Maybe his agent told him to start looking like more of a floor general if he wants to get paid, but i can definitely sense a hesitation to shoot it as often as he used to.   This is probably a good thing long-term, but part of me is like... 'what's wrong with IQ?'   i guess it doesn't look natural yet.  He's thinking... this play I won't shoot... this play I will shoot instead of just taking what the defense gives him.  Passing up open looks isn't the IQ I know.

......

4. 13 minutes for MY favorite player (OBI) isn't cutting it.  He's got a smooth stroke and the whole offense doesn't grind to a halt when he needs to score.   I absolutely love having Cam and Obi on the floor at the same time.  I feel like they're a cheat code of unlimited athletic potential when they're on the floor together.  I haven't felt like we've had wings this dangerous since Sprewell was menacing PJ Carleisimo.

Too early to tell about IQ.

But for Obi, not too early. He needed more playing time last game, he deserved more playing time. And it's no small thing that fans love to see him play

Somebody has to save Thibs from himself.

That would be nice, unless he is beyond salvation.

Oh wait, how about Chip? He seems to still have faith.

3-1 and worrying about minutes

You're all too fuckin funny

[chipstern]

Nyets are 1-4

Knicks are 3-1

And SighMoan BowlingMar thinks it amusing I'm not jumping on the Fire Thibs bandwagon.

Do tell.

[kidcarter8]

Nyets are 1-4


Simmons playing a little better...

Nice to see Nash wig out the other night

Refs blew 3 calls in the last 2 minutes of OT,  all to the Knicks disadvantage

01:56.0     Foul
Comment:   Washington (CHA) jumps from point A to point B and initiates contact with Randle (NYK), which affects his driving shot attempt.

01:55.0    Foul
Comment:   Hayward (CHA) makes contact with Robinson's (NYK) right arm as he attempts to secure the loose ball. The contact to Robinson's arm impacts his ability to control the rebound.

00:49.6   Turnover: Traveling   
Comment:   Oubre Jr. (CHA) establishes his right foot as his pivot foot and then lifts and re-plants that foot at the start of his dribble.

Hey Chip, you dont have to act meshuga just because someone says you have faith in your favorite coach.

PS. Fuk them Nyets and their "superstars"!

It's Carlos Time

Impressive defense by Milwaukee.

Completely took us out of our rhythm.

Cavs beckon.

Donovan fucking lighting it up.

[kidcarter8]

Battled a top team on the rod.  Cant expect more, though plenty to see as negatives in the course of play.

Bears watching just how effective Jalen can be vs top competition.  But he wasnt flustered.

I like how Thibs had him sit til the 3 minute mark, then in fresh for final run.  Had a shot to make it interesting.  Hoping to be 6-5 or better after this next tough 6 game stretch, though 4 are on the road.  Do we panic at 5-6?  Some will.

3-2.  3  expected wins.  Never a worry til we lose a bad one at home.

Yeah, we didn't play well. Our shot selection in the first half seemed particularly terrible.

BUT....

I figured the Bucks would be the dominant team in the NBA and damn if they don't look like it. Their collective defense is incredible. So scrappy. They give you nothing. Everything is a fight. You just let up for a moment, and they'll snag that ball out of your pretty hands.

Impressive!

[Kam]

I was encouraged by how the Knicks hung in with the Bucks through the first and even second period (if it had been .01 seconds longer).

There was one play in the 2nd period I thought was particularly damaging to our slim chances,  where Randle got the ball in transition, the Knicks had a 4 on 1 and Randle took two dribbles and what seemed like an eternity to pass the ball to a streaking RJ Barrett who had run out of court by then and had to stop and take an awkward push shot.

Scoring would've given the Knicks the lead there.  Instead the Bucks went back and scored.  Then scored on the next two possessions as well as the Knicks reeled.  That was psychically damaging to the team and there was never a real recovery in the second half.

This was a Knick team at -nearly- full strength vs a wounded Bucks squad so let's not take too much solace in this loss.

This was a chance to steal a game we shouldn't have won.

Oh well.  Onto the CAVS. 

Looking for a statement game from RJ but worried the statement will be from DM.

[Kam]

Randle not so bad.

[chipstern]

Neutralized Brunson

Impressive DEFENSE..

[kidcarter8]

good news - no Garland tomorrow

bad news - LeVert and Mitchell had 82 last game.
