Obi is so soft. Not for giving up on him but ****, he has to toughen up and attack some times.

Seems like a trend

And the defense is atrocious. Look at the score 🤣

Why does every 4th quarter look like the globetrotters vs the generals?

Law of averages. For the game we are near 60% from the field, but that means we've come down from the 70% we shot in the first half. No way we could keep up that pace, and our D has not risen to the occasion.

I was looking at the MPG and the break out by month, and our main guys are getting up there.

Glad Thibs got the starters out.

1st half we look like a playoff team. In the 4th quarter we look like a G league team.

This tight rotation has an expiration date! Should be a playoff strategy not the regular season.

I agree with Clyde. Trae young smacked them in the mouth with 9pts to start the 3rd. Over a 2 min span. We were playing catch-up from there.

Maybe we start the game in zone. We can’t defend 1 on 1 anyway. Plus you will have fresher legs on offense, especially when our big 3 have to guard the other star player in man all game. We don’t have superstar players that can handle that load on both ends. That’s the difference from an nba star and a nba player trying to be one.

D.Murray is long. He gave us problems. Once again Cams size and agility is the missing piece to guard these tall agile guards / forwards. Who else is out there? Bullock? 🤣

Wait a minute. Did I hear them say the hawks went on a 16-1 run to start the 4th against our bench? Again I missed the game but if that’s true, no wonder thibs only plays his starters.

Rose, Cam, EF all sitting on the bench healthy? Mmmmm 🤔

No wonder our bench is weak. They all in THIBS DOG HOUSE. If Rose and Cam played, that’s a 9 man rotation 🤦‍♂️

Rose and Cam are getting traded. And EF plays losing basketball.

I think Rose is a shell of himself. But I wish we had kicked the tires more with Cam.

The ref that calls this foul is directly behind Hart's back, so his vision is impaired for body contact.

And the fact that they review this play and still uphold is just ludicrous. Like what the **** is going on?

You can't take games seriously when Trae gets to land wherever he wants and then also takes 4 steps on the possession flagrant foul.

And then this. It's awful, NBA wanted the Knicks to lose. No 2 ways around it. This is one of the dumber things I've seen recently.

Someone needs to help me understand what rule Hart broke that the refs can rely on to call this foul.

I'm still flabbergasted. Shook
