With a clear head... what did you think?

Transition D has to improve.

We got nothing from Thomas and McDermott. They were useless out there. Shame Beasley was the 3rd forward off the bench then got injured. I had the feeling he was going to light it up. He hit his first shot that he got injured on. Beasley needs to get healthy. His offense is going to be needed.

I thought Lee played well. He's just not a scorer. He has the game but not the mentality to call his own number.

THJr let's chalk this up to nerves as well. He didn't play bad but got locked up pretty good by Roberson.

Kanter let OKC familiarity with him take him out of his game. He got frustrated and was talking to the refs.

KOQ had a nice game as well. He was doing his job inside.

KP has evolved. Still not polished but he's getting there. He played like he was the man.

I thought Hornacek was overwhelmed. I didn't like his early substitutions. He started scrambling and it worked. Okc made adjustments and Horny wasn't prepared. The offense became non existent. It wasn't even what OKC was doing defensively. The Knicks just had bo direction or leader on the court or the bench.

Think this will be a year of guys showing who can be in Knicks long term plans. A lot of question marks. Hope that as we get passed the trade deadline, and we unload position heavy assets, we then focus on giving the young guys a chance to learn and prove that they are capable of improving and staying in the league.

For every strong defensive play he made, he turned the ball over. His ball handling was erratic. He had no control. Plus he couldn't score. Frank just looked nervous. He had the deer in the headlights. He was aiming his shot and playing with tunnel vision. Chalk all this up to nerves but it was embarrassing non the less.

100% agree with everything you said here, but I have to add, baker is not a pg by any stretch of the imagination. He can't dribble, he can't get to the hole, he can't shoot, he can't pass., aside from a couple steals, he's fckng worthless

We will struggle to score with out a pg, and that's evident of the 6th straight game and we still cant even score a 100 points, and loss all 6.

All the talk of playing fast uptempo(only 8 fast break points to 35 by okc) with some of the slowest guys in the league on the roster. Not a single player on the roster can get to the whole with any consistency.

Having kP being the only good player on the team reminds of what Lopez went through with the nets, or what pau went through with the grizz before he was traded to the lakers,

frank looks no better the jerian grant

The overreaction to Frank was both predictable and pathetic.

My main gripes are -

Lack of structured offense
Willy not being a starter
THJR - not doing anything well, yet people pick on Ron Baker

Kp did a lot of good things. In the game of team ball--Id like to see him throw 3-5 more passes. Its important for him to be a passer as well--especially with no true PG. Also KP if youre listening--dont try the crazy running tap dunk unless its a clear lane. its too risky for your health.

Nobody is picking on Baker. It is what it is.... I'm not gonna protect the dude. He has to play better. If he played well no one would have anything bad to say. He was flat out terrible sand that's the truth.

THJr got locked up... truth. He didn't play particularly bad though. He was just locked up

Baker was rusty! Still he was a +4!!! Dude had 3 steals and 4 Assists but 4 TO’s. I fully expect Baker to clean that up and also to get his offense going. He’s a much better player than most realize but he’s going to be a role player.
