I feel if we had Huk’s energy out there last night things may have been better.

Also Josh needs to hit his shots. Teams are going to double off him

We have regressed each month on 3pts%, that's wild. Most of the other stats as well by the way. Strength of schedule plays a part but we're not trending in the right direction.

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=what+is+the+3pts%25of+the+knicks+by+month+this+season

It's almost like the minutes police were right.

I get worked up from time to time. Start looking for causation. Are they not coaching to the open 3 any more? Might argue that the three is what they take if the midrange isn’t there. Are they not practicing shooting during practice? 3pts and FT% have dropped dramatically. Does their shooting software have a virus? Is Coach not coaching?

But somehow, whenever I start to think this, I remember the good games. I figure this is a team in progress that is still finding its defensive identity. I assume whatever it is they are doing in practice is by design not just lack of knowledge. So if they are running midrange sets, it’s cause they want to run midrange sets, not because they are incapable of running 3pt sets.

The team lacks a cohesiveness, but I have faith that this is a well constructed team. Each player has weaknesses, but as a whole they are the best constructed and well thought out team in decades.

I’d really like to see a full on 4-1 offense or 5-out. But if they aren’t, it’s not cause Coach doesn’t know how.

24% from three won’t win any games. KB and Bridges 2 for 12
Not having KAT is hard to overcome.
OG had a good game but was gassed in the 4th with 41 minutes.
Let’s get healthy.

Not bad but still underwhelming? 1 more win would have been good IMHO

McBride, Shamet and Payne were the only Positives on the =/- last night.

we do need more McBride- I don’t know if it is the knee or Thibs not giving him more minutes.

sorry but our guys looked tired. they weren't grabbing rebounds, they weren't running out or rotating- lots of watching the ball or the man shoot wide open.

Defender extraordinaire, spacer, cutter. Don't let him dribble too much.

KAT’s GF posted this yesterday Hope everything is ok. Last few games KAT was playing like his mind was somewhere else. More than just having a bad game.

Believe he was 6 for 20 against the Pacers in the playoffs.

Josh's defense has been exceptionally bad this year. If you look at all the wide open 3s we give up, he's often the culprit. IDK if it's his fault or he's coached to go after rebounds at the expense of staying with his man or what.

Some hate to admit this because he’s been the glue for this engine. But truth be told, hart is a utility knife that Thibs needs to use off the bench. We need a deuce type player who can space the floor and provide 2 way defense, in that starting lineup.

Off the bench Hart will have the ball in his hands more and he can do what he does, in that up and down fast pace second unit.

But the starting 5 must be successful in half court. Not guarding hart just crowds driving lanes and puts more pressure on hart to make open 3s. Right now deuce is that guy. Hart and /or mikal can finish games if they have it going.
