I can’t take this miss free throw nonsense it will be worse if he in final seconds gets fouled down by 1 point and misses both free throws. At some point Mitch has to take responsibility for this bad free throw shooting he really does.

He has been in the league forever. He has not improved a single thing in his game. Still brings the ball down low after he gets it, still is atrocious at the line, still not a single post move, no jumper, no hook, no bank shot, nothing. He is not improving his free throws at this point

I definitely agree with you that Mitch has bad offensive game obviously that is not going to change right now but his free throw shooting has to or might get traded if the knicks lose this series.

If we were switching there is no fighting over the screen it’s a simple player hand-off / exchange.

Because if you fight over a screen Porzingis would flop like the Trump stock market.

Point is - if you see Knick defender going over the top that = we are in drop coverage.

If we were switching on ball defender would just stop on screen.

I'm saying if you see on ball defender go over top on screen and Kat dropping -- that's not Kat that is a drop call by coach.

I hope you gave Cassell your best stink eye.

He was going to get traded before this series - even with his crappy FTs he may keeping himself on team with his recent play.

Kind of true isn't it.

Why though - given we have 3 really good role players playing 2-4?

System? PG who is really a scorer 1st and 2nd?

Or maybe collectively we just don't have the ball handlers and passers who can get shots on their own -- this may be real reason.

That’s it for me.

Oh wait, your ball handling point too

For whatever reason we are underutilizing both Kat and Mikal -- not enough easy shots for Kat and not enough initiation (or high screen) touches for Mikal. When Jalen is in everything kind of runs thru that lens and we hope he's great.
