He played darn good. I think the coach could ve been more creative at the end— perhaps starting the ball w Brunson drawing the defense and finding an open shooter or lobbying

In the remaining 8 minutes of the game .. Cam, Barrett, and Randle only took one shot.
PG Brunson's ball-hogging took all the rest of the shots going down the stretch for the Knicks, plus Brunson played the entire 4th quarter.
In the remaining 5 minutes of the game every player in the Grizz lineup scored.

His ball hogging got us in a position to win the game after being down by as much as 9 in the 4th qtr. I agree he should not have been taking the shots on last two possessions but overall he had a good game

Tough loss- but we're right there with a really great team. We just need some guys like RJ and Randle to start hitting shots at a better clip, and we need the group to do better on D. I mean we can point to the missed shot at the end, but we gave up too many easy shots in close, too many offensive boards.

JB also put up 17 in the 4th quarter!

Agree, this is why Brunson was brought to NY. Brunson looked like he lost half a step by the end of the game. Didnt have enough burst to get by those defenders. No regrets that JB took the last shot.

C'mon, really?
Brunson shot us back into the game and he had good looks. "Not clutch". We really indict him after that game? really?
Love the RJ game. Kept it tight and gets to the line. That shot comes back he will be golden.
Randle? Good passing! See he got out on fast break!!!!
Mitch is back.
We got a good on in Brunson. Went toe to to with Jah in the 4th.
Garden rocked. Great game to watch. Fun game!

It's a make or miss league but our margin for error is razor thin. We have too many lapses especially on defense. We cannot give up 127 points on 48% shooting and 16 offensive rebounds. We do not have the talent to overcome this. But the Grizzlies credit. That's a good team on the borderline of being a title contender imo. Morant, even thought I dislike him, is an elite player. He finished with 27/10/14 but I thought we did a decent job. Especially Grimes! I was surprised he wasn't brought back in the fourth to check him. Not sure it would have made much difference as a player like Morant just turns it up in the fourth and the zebras wouldn't allow physical defense. Adams was also huge for them with the offensive rebounds. We just don't have that big body to match up with him. Kind of funny when RJ wouldn't give him the ball and kind of shoved his arm. Like out of all players to do that, RJ picks on the biggest and probably the baddest dude in the league. Adams is like Khal Drogo and Roman Reigns LOL.

So tough loss but not a killer imho. I saw some good signs, especially from the guys coming back. Robinson looked more active and was able to play 30 plus minutes and had 5 blocks. Reddish had an impact defensively and made some timely shots and passes. Rose also looked more active and hit some floaters.

RJ bounced back and took good shots which I think has become a big key for him. Randle had the typical Randle game. Stats wise it looked like he had a strong game and he honestly was not bad but he still has too many mental lapses and laziness on defense and they come at the worst moments. Obi was awful. Air balled on threes, committed some dumb turnovers and got his butt handed to him on defense. I like Obi but he's another one in a slump right now and needs to pick it up.
