Our offense has been running poorly the entire game... I mean, yes, some of our iso buckets have been falling but dang this squad of players do not like to pass and cut..

This is going to be a huge problem the rest of the year with Noah out there closing out games. Niguera getting all those blocks because he's leaving Noah and not guarding him. Noah has been a liability on offense.

Ugh. Good effort. They're just still learning how to play together.

Knicks have potential. They need to tighten things up

Toronto played 6'4"'Powell on KP and didn't exploit. We'll fix that

If they stay focused and hungry games 20-82 will be good to us.

I like the focus of rose and Noah. The steadiness of Lee. The spark of Jennings

And the smarts/poise of euro bench

I was disappointed they went away from Willy so quickly. At some point the answer to that tactic will be to put in Willy.

I trust that adjustments will be made in time. The 1st qtr of the season is going to be all about making adjustments. This was not a bad game. The Knicks made some progress and were very competitive with a top team that has much more chemistry.

Yeah. Noah played a great game, especially on the boards, but when the C is not guarding him and roving double teaming, it's tough to execute your offense.

This team needs to stay close to .500 to have any chance in the second half of the season, but that looks like will be impossible with this pathetic defense.

Booooo

He needs to start hitting that midrange shot the D has been giving him. Otherwise it will continue to be hard for him to make good passes because he's looking for 4 targets that are being guarded by 5 defenders.

You're mistaken if you think this is what we'll see from this team all year. They will continue to improve and eventually gain consistency. This is a process.

Noah had a good game. He need to find his offense (limited as it is)

We have a lot of new players. The trajectory is good.

I'm disappointed we'll lose tonight but we will be happy in the near future.

RAptors are professional

Should've fed Melo soon as he came back in the game. When they doubled KP looked like no one knew what to do. That's coaching.

The Raptors have an interesting thing going where they lean on DeRozan most of the game and Lowry saves his energy for late. It's smart. Lowry killed them late.

Free Throw Attempts: Tor - 38 NYK - 16 -22

Last night: Bos - 43 NYK - 17 -26

You can't win like this. How much is this home cooking from the refs, I'm not sure, but it's impossible to win with this discrepancy.
