Not enough ball movement. Shitty rotation.

Right after Rose got that steal Randle brings the ball up and gets trapped in the corner right after halfcourt. Thibs is forced to call a time-out. That was our last one. We missed not having a time-out to draw up a decent play with the last possession. Just another example of Randle being boneheaded to end the game. Thibs needed to do a much better job coaching the team to use clock and not repeatedly feed Randle who the Lakers were all too happy to trap and force into making a dumb play.

awful O down stretch with the reptitive 2 man game w/ Rose and Julius.

Really missed Quick and Burks. RJ couldn't seem to create at all. Frank played better tonight for chrissakes.

You boneheads blew it. 4th seed was on the line and you chose to coast and take a wounded team for granted.

Barrett had a brain fart … what on earth was he thinking he could have easily beat Drummond to the hoop … at least dish it to Randle…. Barrett should never have the ball for the last second… how many games have we lost because Barrett got the ball to end the game ..

Yeah he was kinda ghost. Quickley was missed tonight. We gotta get somebody else who gets to the free throw line to make the game easier.

Bring back dee-fense

RJ was non-existent but why not give Bullock some opportunities? I do think Randle tried to play hero ball too much toward the end. AD went at Randle but made more team plays when it counted. Also, we were clearly gassed at the end and didn't make crucial defensive closeouts/stops on several occasions.

Lost this game after Randle hit the tough turnaround shot to go up 87-80 and we fed him twice in a row after that so he could take two more tough shots not using any clock. I'm so hot right now. You played so well in April and May to put yourselves in this position and you catch a break against a wounded team and you let them steal this one and deal a huge blow to your playoff hopes.

This is either going to be the loss that breaks this team or maybe just maybe the eye-opening loss that leads to self-examination and a new level of realization.

I think it’ll be revealing to the FO.

Rose can go in spurts. Julius solid but doesn’t know what to do with doubles and needs a PG. Bullock a good bench player on a small contract, same with Noel. Need players that get to FT line. Need PG. RJ has a really really long way to go.

Wow, we beat the Clippers and we're the greatest team in the world, we lose to the Lakers and now we're talked about like we're trash. Gotta love Knick fans.

They coasted. What else do you call it when you don't box out on getting defensive rebounds while of offense "Dump it to Randle repeatedly" was the strategy. And Randle was playing on emotion like in the schoolyard not playing smart. We took a commanding lead in the 4th and thought the game was over. I blame Thibs too. He let it get away.

The way we lost was awful. I'm glad you don't care.

It's ok to lose close games and the Lakers (when healthy) are a better team - that said, it's very frustrating to watch Randle go 1 on 1 from the 6 minute mark of the 4th through the overtime. In the 4th we lost a 7 pt lead, guys were spent and we kept trying the same approach - in a way we were lucky the Lakers were also depleted and didn't take over sooner. We could say Burks and IQ would have helped but pretty sure Schroeder and Lebron would have also helped the Lakers. On a positive note - I did like the minutes Frank played in the 4th.
