We have two starters in RJ. and Grimes, without a reliable midrange game. They might be able to get by without one in the regular season, but not in the playoffs.

Grimes is a good passer off of penetration. But he needs plays to do that

He got his 2 in 1st half and held Garland to only 26.

Quickley is supposed to be our breakout star and he’s completely overwhelmed in every way.

My prediction is knicks bounce back big. This will bug them big time and they’ll figure it out

That said, while i see most of the knicks boiling inside I continue to see obi play like a cream puff. Unassertive all over the place

Trying to guess which is worse - watching RJ back his dribble out for iso or RJ getting down in his defensive stance.

He is unplayable in this series. The Cavs figured out Okoro is unplayable and sat him. We still playing RJ big minutes. I don't care what his stats are his shooting is too bad.

I would so love to blame the refs, but not a single Knick is clear of this loss.

Pathetic and they definitely didn't make it easier for themselves. More turnovers in the second quarter than they average in a game. No se se of urgency and the defensive intensity wasn't there. It was like they figured they could just walk in and coast to a win and Cleveland punched them in the mouth.

Very disappointing.

Thibs has sucked all night long.

WTF is he doing.

Randle is garbage Brunson is awful. Just rest them. It happens.

Put in rose / Fournier / McBride live to fight another day.

He didn’t adjust. We got the split we got what we needed.

Makes no sense to have our big 3 in the game so late when down by 25.

I am going to chill on Thibs and watch for next game. There better be adjustments. I did not expect ingame adjustments from Thibs. Rj should not be starting. If RJ even plays next game it should be at PF off the bench to see how he does in that role. Him as a SF is done this series.

Someone has to come to the ball in order for him to improvise. And that goes against the logic of keeping the paint clear for penetration so it has to be a play
