Lazy passing is a problem. I still think Jeff is making a mistake by not running more PnR, Drag and Pin Down Screens! This offense is still very “Triangly” IMO.

Push the ball and get into EARLY SPREAD PnR!!!!

They'll gel though once they get more time together.

But I agree with you. Right now they just have the individual talent.

There is no Melo KP matchup ... same ole Melo pointing to his brain, reminding us that he will keep shootinf til his stats are ok but poor % and KP is dominant. Frank looks like we got fleeced by Dallas. I’ll give him time as he is young but i want to see some upside

KP is not getting g the calls yet. Should have had a foul on the follow up and that last play.


Good half ruined by the last 2 mins. The team D looked better.

Need to see more out of Sessions.

Obviously Frankie was nervous.

He really does. It's painful to watch.

Is Beasley done for the night?

If Beasley was playing we'd be up by 10. The Knicks need that extra scorer

Beas diagnosed with sprained ankle. Good news.


Those nagging injuries are a mystery for our medical staff though. Felton is still dealing with wrist issues and I believe he first injured his wrist here.

not sure about that. Westbrook and george are their two best players but they arent that deep

They have enough individual talent to beat us in a messy game like this. The Knicks can win if they stay the course though. I liked what I saw ESPECIALLY on the defensive end which for some reason was nonexistent in pre season.

This Knicks roster is setup for Nitty to take over the PG Spot cuz Sessions can’t start for very long! He really looks mediocre and like a placeholder.

frustrating we made some silly plays but as a young team i guess you can expect growing pains

Really surprised how ineffective mcdermott has been. I guess PG13 can do that to you

So far...I like what I am seeing. Defense is good. KP is a stud. We just need better PG play

Great rebounding by KP. I am not ready to make any bold statements like I have seen in this tgread about either team or player. Theses 1st two weeks are basically an extended preseason to these teams. As tge years go by they will get used to the shorter preseason and I think we will see more "player" run mini-camps.

I'm liking what I'm seein overall. Hard D. Need Frank to get comfortable and just play. Refs are being whimps afraid of the star players. Westbrook as usual against us is allowed to play like that kid in school who never knew how to play and just fouled the sh1t out of everybody all game.
