Blame: Knicks are not as good as the 76ers. Even without embiiiid.
Danny Green got hot and Harris made up his bad foul shooting for a clutch three with someone in his face.
I love what barrett was doing and which was some half court iso goodness. Good to see mitch get some minutes and his timing is obviously off.
Randle has to gain some composure on calls he don’t like. We all love the passion but he sets the tone for the others as well.
IQ deficiencies are more apparent now. Teams are scouting him and defending him better. He might not be ROY wunderdind hype savior starphuch jersey selling hype but have to be super happy with him.
Not having Rose downt he stretch was important.
Wish Austin can get to Philly to be with his pops and let them enjoy the new grand baby.

Quick and Mitch combined 0-4. Nice. Not going to beat too many teams doing the Chris Dudley. And Philly only hit 60% on the same number of attempts.

Quick's mom must have been ready to kill him. Lol

And 17 turnovers with dare I say half of them being inexcusable mistakes. Prior to that call I didn’t have too much issue with referees tbh so if we tightened up our play we should have won this. Not to mention, the amount of missed passes/ poor offense throughout the game was also costly.

The Future is Bright!

hey... back to back tough losses to Phili. This is the year for growing pains, and these were pretty painful but cant simulate these kinds of games. Final 3 minutes is when every NBA team's weaknesses become glaring and ours are no exception.

This game is wildly easy to explain... Julius Randle: 46 minutes +6

Its not really fair to Obi how bad we are when Julius comes off the floor.

IQ: 25mins, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0-2 FTs

Frank made a basket... so there's that

RJ continues to look great. 19/8/4 in 40 minutes and +5. Has anyone mentioned he's 20?

Mitch looks really rusty.

Burks looks like he could have Marcus Morris value and I would sell on that

Tough loss but one to grow on. Plenty of positives. Games like this are a sign of where we are in the process. This poster is at peace despite the tough loss

This game had a lot of moral victory elements... but the missed opportunity at a win hurts. Both teams tried hard to lose this one. Lots of key missed shots, missed free throws and turnovers... but these situations happen when there’s playoff intensity.

The young Knicks are getting some touch learning experiences. I’m just hoping these squandered winnable games don’t bite us in the end.

Ultimately maybe we are just a .500 team and this is what we should expect.
