If our big 3 are inefficient on offense it’s going to be a long game. This is why our defense has to be consistent. Cause the offense is hit or miss.

Is it the pressure of wanting to play well you actually become too hyped up? I’m trying to understand this. And it’s been going on before thibs era. Do we not have the right mental toughness in the players we’ve had? Melo was fine and JB looks like a killa regardless.

And KPs length causing problems for JR.

IQ's fall-away in the paint...Did he use that last year? Has Brunson worked with him?

Is RJ an All Star? If not what will it take? I think if Randle wasn’t on the team RJ would grow into an All Star player. Especially if he’s continues to develop his 3 level game. Drives left or right, mid range pull up and his 3 pt game. Plus he wants to be a lockdown defender. He’s a star on the right team or system.

It’s nothing to do with the Knicks. Teams just play harder at the Garden. Everyone says it’s their favorite place to play.

What’s up with Hartenstein. He was supposed to be this player with a great touch around the basket. Why was he such a good finisher in LA but can’t score from anywhere in NY?

Thibs offensive system doesn’t fit Harts game.

He also has that Achilles thing. I'd like to see him and Obi get reconnected on those back cuts.

We havent really seen Hartenstein work around the rim this season, before this game. Its been all putbacks, and the occasional 3pt attempt. Would expect some rust from this part of his game. Hopefully he can shake it.

Yes forgot about that. I know all about that injury. It takes a while to heal, even after it feels good it’s still not fully healed.

KP has become a more willing passer, and more accurate.

If you look at hart’s career stats last season with the clips was an outlier. He shot over 60% overall including 46% from 3 in 68 games. The rest of his career he never shot more than 33% from 3 which is not bad for a Center but still

Some of Luka might've rubbed off him.

We were completely outplayed in all facets and the wizards couldn’t miss from 3 for a stretch. No Mitch. Hopefully we can have a better second half

They started flat, looked like the last game took its toll.
