Half-Time .. Knicks 60 - Bulls 58
Knicks running a 9-Man rotation against the Bulls 7-Man rotation
It look like Brunson & Randle performance need their minutes reduce (Obi & D.Rose) to save energy for the Christmas game.
Barrett shooting 9-13 FG, 4-4 from 3's, 4-6 FT, 7 rbds, 2 ast, for 26 pts in the first half.

RJ has 40…. Knicks up 2 with 2 minutes left. A non existent foul on a clean MR block gives CHI 2 points. Randle misses a FT… last 6 possession were ISO RJ (brick off backboard), ISO Randle (brick off backboard), ISO RJ (turnover).
RJ missed a FT but he’s 10-13 on the night.
Brunson lost ball, RJ grabs it with 5 seconds… offensive foul.
2 missed FTs and 4 ugly possessions. Apparently ball movement isn’t an option.

No Knicks fan wants to see PHI crush Knicks and ruin Christmas. I won’t tune in either. I’ll check box score and see what happens afterwards. 3 game losing streak as inevitable as the sun rising.
Disappointing to learn that JB isn’t the closer this team needs. His clutch stats suggest something the eye doesn’t see. What was he doing the final 5 minutes?

The Knicks shot 57% from the FT line tonight,.
It's bad when the Knicks shoot this way in the final 6 minutes of the game.
The Knicks starter lineup have to get their minutes reduce by 12%, because they become to TIRED and aghuasted to make FT shots going down the stretch of games when the starter lineup are 80% FT shooters.
Brunson has been a 24 to 28 minute player in Dallas, in New York Brunson been averaging 32 to 38 minutes a game, while Brunson's two back up PG only played 20 of the Knicks 33 games averaging 11 minutes a game.
Brunson's a 90% FT shooter, and shot 1-4 FT tonight in his 38 minutes of playing-time.
Does it look like Brunson hit the wall the last 2 games? Playing 39 then 38 minutes ???
Tonight, the Knicks bench-player minute were ..
21-Quickley
19-Hart
10-Sims
10-McBride
Why didn't Quickley & Grimes receive 24 minute so Grimes don't have to strain a sore ankle for 36 minutes tonight? Isn't that how rookie-Grimes caught his season injury last season (coach don't care).
And the win streak should've gave coach Thibs the confidence to play McBride, Sims, Hart, and Quickley for 20 minutes of playing time in both the back to back games to keep the starters fresh for the 4th quarter.
And the Banishment of Fournier, Cam Reddish, and D.Rose (Kemba, McBride, Reddish, and Sims) fully out of the rotation are another sign of the Knicks missing the playoffs/and Playin.
