Terrible half. Way too many turnovers!
Good news is down just 4.
Need to come out strong in second half!

If the Bulls keep it close DeRozan can beat us.

DDV has been a better distributor than I expected. Some really nice passes.

🎯 Spot on about the lack of bench scoring. Deuce has a better handle this season, but his decision making is a step slow. He's taking too long to make a decision, and its killing the momentum. Hope he can pick up the pace.

Grimes looks like a competent bench player, which is good news.

I do like OG not needing the ball as much as RJ.

There’s going to be a lot of games with high turnovers due to overpassing because of the lack of scoring off the dribble.

Deuce looks better off the ball. Hope the game slows down for him

Will take overpassing> underpassing. But you're right, we need a 6th man who can get buckets in short order. That was IQ's role.

I guess DeMar has read the criticism here on UK that he can't hit 3pters

Knicks are a better team after the trade and it also seemed to unlock a new part of Brunson’s passing game. But at the same time this team has a bigger hole on the roster than they did before with the lack of bench scoring.

Guy is a gamer. Loves the limelight. Would fit here and give us that other play maker.
