Yes - the ball movement was just nonexistent— for whatever reason Kat checked out mentally very early tonight.

Guys have to touch the ball

Yup. Never ever. Put this in the box along with 2 of 18 shooting.

Tony brothers is 60. Scott foster the other night is 58. Is this really the best the league can do? 60 year olds running up and Down trying to watch 10 guys grabbing each other, scratching etc for 48 min w. No subs

I think it’s nuts. 6 billion dollar teams. Some guys getting close to a million a game. And we’re letting geriatric megalomaniac refs call the shots. It’s nuts.

And no transparency. We’re just told that every play is graded etc and to trust their word. Yuck

Game 6 here we come!

OG looked like a G Leaguer today.

And despite the loss was kind of cool to see Kornet look like Mutombo and played the game of his life!

We will probably take Game 6 on Friday but it doesn't change the fact that our limitations are mostly self-imposed and correctable through coaching, ball movement and strategy.

I know we tend to the trend as our guide but there are others capable to hitting the shots Tatum won't be taking.
I'll celebrate when we have taken out the defending champs.
Im really trying to wash my eyes of Thibs as a wrestler.

KP was wheezing. But white was brilliant. He does that.
OK, so I know that. Shouldn't Thibs? Fucks sake of course he and the staff knows it.
Fans are angry. Team did not take them lightly, some of you did.
Im sure those little chips Silver had implanted in the refs brain had much to do with it.

On a side note I found Reggie Miller to be fair. For years knicks sucked on national broadcasts and we get angry so we label it "hate". "ESPN HATES THE KNICKS". Why would that be? Cuz they **** up ratings. League wants a strong NY showing. Knick fans are passionate ans are everywhere! What are they suppose to talk about when games were over and knicks getting blown out? in recent times they are quite the contrary.
Doris Burke? She has risen to lead team with Breen and Jefferson. Richard has gotten better I admit. Breen is the class of the league and perhaps ESPN did some serious research to test how people react to Doris. I mean she is not the prettiest, nor is she a brand name star like Cheryl Miller was years ago. Maybe certain fans with tendency for misogyny will exhibit their destain for her. She is well prepared and did play I believe div 1. I admit a flair for the dramatic at times but I'd rather listen to her then Reggie Miller. speaking of Reggie Its not like he a real knick hater. Im finding him fairly balanced of late. What I find is he is redundant and states too much of the obvious. He has entered Bill Walton territory who became intolerable if not for his off topic rants (Those were actually his best attributes when he did Pac 10 hoop!). Reggie should know the game a bit better than just mimic. He made one funny ass error tonite He said to the effect in live play "When knicks switch there is nobody to defend the rim"....and right on cue there OG comes and blocks the shot at the rim!

Reggie just sucks.

Very disjoint and frustrating. I know we criticize og and Mikal on nights like this but there was no flow. That’s not their fault

Time to regroup, learn and adjust

Thing is, what do we have to learn? This team learned about offense for the majority of the season and the many 30+ assists games show it. But for reasons I don’t understand, they chose to play with no offense from time to time, especially now in the playoffs. This team is the most unpredictable and most frustrating team I have seen.

He really represents us so well: sometimes he looks like an unbeatable star, others he is nowhere to be found. He is really frustrating sometimes!
