Yup. Clippers play very good D and we are one of the most offensively challenged teams in the league. We did very well today we were just outalented.

I think these games are best case scenario. RJ and Quickly looking like a special backcourt for the future. We just need a little more and it’s going to take a couple more lottery picks. Lot of positives this season.

Thibs needs to take guys out when games are over, he been doing it all season with Barrett and Randle. Can’t keep doing this ****.

Agreed with the bolded...Don't like Knox getting a dnp...hopefully this isn't a thing moving forward.

In a perfect world we get rewarded with some lottery luck because how hard these guys play and not tanking. We get Cade Cunningham to tie it all together

It's not looking good for Knox. Knox, even though he missed a LOT of shots as a rookie, still looked like an NBA player in the making. The Knox we've seen in recent weeks is little more than a spot up 3pt shooter - kind of looks as out of place as Bullock and Ellington did last season.

This game as a 19 year old wasn't that long ago... and he was less physically mature and in shape then too. On the other side, he used to be 2 inches taller and played like it. :p

RJ and Quickley have poise beyond their years.

Quickley's handle is improving.

Most knew that RJ was deceptively strong. Was still surprised to see how well he defended Leonard and George's post ups. Looked like Kawhi's kid brother out there.

Glad to see Burks and Bullock starting to get their offense back.

Thibs should have pulled the starters at the end, but overall I saw a team getting better.

The New York Knicks' run as a surprise team with elite defensive upside is due for a swift and unceremonious ending. Though they still rank sixth in defensive rating, much of that can be attributed to luck; New York has allowed 20.4 wide-open 3-points attempts per game, third-most in the league, but opponents are shooting an NBA-worst 31% on those shots.

Don't expect a similar result against the Los Angeles Clippers, who lead the league in 3-point percentage on all attempts (41.8%), on shots with a defender within four-to-six feet (41.8%), and on wide-open tries (43.5%). They also rank fourth in percentage of assisted threes (88.6%), which should test the Knicks' vulnerable perimeter defense.
