Back to same crap as last season. 6 game losing streak.
Just incredible.

0-3 without KP.

Lone bright spot of this season is KPs play. He made some major steps.

I really struggle to see us make the playoffs. Thank goodness we have our own draft pick. May grab a high caliber athlete - maybe a guard that can complement KP over the next 5-7 years.

LT did an admirable job but that has to be a TEAM stop. You can't let him beat you one on one!!!

No...Cant live with that...No way do you let that guy beat you...Have to force the ball out of his hands and make someone else beat you!!!


Sorry...that was good D by Lance and a better shot by the Greek. Want to say he should have been doubled...fine, but his D was good by any standard, IMO.

Noah had some decent passes on his roll to the basket..He has to look for his shot more..A few of those looked like easy layups..

knicks are now 1-12 when rose takes over 17 shots
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

I doubt it will matter because Melo wont play as well as he did and Kuz will either miss shots or simply hardly even get time on the floor.

If Phil wants to make the playoffs, we need bench help...

I actually think this team has some good ball ahead of them if they can keep the key guys healthy. Let's get KP healthy and see what they can do. 2 home losses is TOUGH to take tho! 😡

Whoever says that Giannis shot was LT's fault is an idiot and knows nothing about b-ball

We can only hope with some more time playing together and better effort they can turn things around. The still have to find ways to win, even when one of the rotation players is hurt. A few lucky teams can get through a long stretch without one player or another getting injured, but most teams have injuries to deal with.

Yup...terrible and obvious call on obstructing Rose on that out of bounds play...can't catch a break.

We got jobbed. Another night of great ft disparity. Yes bucks were aggressive to hoop but for once so we're we and yet 31-12. That last play was nauseating and I would urge fans to google"nba contact" and send a message in and protest. There is no accountability and the league doesn't even have the dignity to apologize when they blow it. People are supporting 8 million average contracts and we get this?!? And don't complain. We're the fools if we don't

I've been begging for Melo to run more pick and roll...We saw a little more in this game...But I think what's important from a coaching standpoint is that it gets in his mind to be more of an orchestrator which the starters need from him..

31-12 at the stripe. Assume 75% ft percentage (ie 1.5 expected score) verus assume 50% fg% (ie 1.0 expected)

Do the math. Refs can control games and spreads simply with quick or slow whistles.

Then you see this garbage. Enough already. Reprimand or fire some refs and issue some apologies.

Rose and melo and koq all went hard to the hoop too. 12 FTs?!?

It's time contact "nba contact" and let them know you're sick of this crap

He made a tough shot. Would you have preferred a weak ass double that would have led to a wide open shot for the game winner? Pick your poison.

Never let the best player beat you. Giannis is the only poison. He got the ball with 7 seconds left, when he goes into his shot, its 2 seconds left, Lee and Rose had an opportunity to double at that point. Especially Rose because he was guarding the rookie Brogdon..By the time Giannis kicks it out, there isn't much time for a shot from the others....

Looking at the replay he dribbled for the full 8 seconds without a double...We are a poor defensive team..I could see where he gets doubled after 5 seconds...But that's coaching too..



Yeah man...I dont get it...Never let the teams best player beat you if you can help it...Rose had an opportunity to double late...by then it wouldn't have been much time for a kick out and a shot...smh

Agreed! Not only pick and roll but like to see Melo catch the ball on the move...off some pin downs and flex cuts to the basket to get more lay up attempts and or fouls.
