You were closing your eyes on our defense? Lots of effort not passing the ball to at least say you tried on offense.

Man, when a team lacks so many players to the point everyone fears this is a trap game and you prove it right by playing the way we did, there was no effort involved. The Knicks didn’t care to close out on Orlando’s 3ptrs, didn’t care to rebound even defensively, were constantly playing for penetrations where no one else touched the ball. It was a freaking stinking performance from a team that looked like they expected a win just for going to the game.

Really super disappointed.

Maybe a wake up call game. They came in thinking they could win without max effort maybe.

Nah, we’ve had a few like these. We are just prone to losing total focus on some games, especially against teams with lesser records. Then comes the losing streak, back to tanking and then a winning streak to bring you back.

Rose and Quickley 2-22 shooting ....
WOW! 2-22 FG shooting from two of your (First-Option) players spells out a team-LOSS !!!
To many Knicks players (Payton, RJ, Randle, Rose, Quickley) played ISO-HERO-ball tonight.
I guess .500 Knicks B.ball are still a DREAM !!!

“They” came in over confident? I’m sorry, were we on the plane with them?
Maybe “Fans” had this locked up.
I saw Orlando hit shots, execute and defend us. I saw a Steve Clifford team play well. I its the NBA and anybody can out play another team. Why can’t fans just give some cred to the other team?

Yeah ORL was playing great defense on penetration and we were helping them by missing shots from the perimeter.

The curse of the FishMike!

Fish -- no more projections from you for the rest of the season!

I expect BigDaddy to post the opposite because he's all in on the tank for Cade or some other teenager

Man, we trusted you fishmike and you repaid us with a jinx thread. Why did you betray us?

What did everyone think of Fournier? I know he had just come off of injury.

I haven't ever seen much of him but I'd probably offer him a contract next year. Not sure how much though

He's a big upgrade over Burks/Bullock

Fish is a stalwart and Martin could use the rest. Notice the quality of his stalking, um, I mean gestures of appreciation to Rebbeca have taken a hit. Keep at it 🐠. Never let the bastards get you down
