How do u let Korver drop 27; I thought fish would have the guys showing more effort on the defensive end. I guess not; baaaad losses this week Pistons/Hawks...same kind of bad looses that had us on the outside looking in of the playoffs last year.. Long way to go but I hope this season doesn't turn into another lost season

Watching Aaron Brooks with 27 and counting for the Bullies; no D-Rose, no problem... Why won't the Knicks ever address their backcourt starting with the PG....

I won't watch this team because it's not even really basketball. Why waste my time. So, that means I just peak in at the box score a few times during the game to see what's happening. I see tonight we pretty much led in every category... Sans heart, will, effort, and desire to win. Impossible to fathom how Melo could score 3 points from beginning of 2nd quarter to under a minute left in the 4th. Take it to hoop and get to the line man.
Impossible to quantify how we lost this game. The obvious is at the free throw line. Not sure if that was case of refs screwing us or just lazy Knicks ball (settle for jumpers and constantly swatting and playing defense with hands).
Wash, Det, Bkn, Atl all teams battling for the 3-8 seed... Knicks lost to them all. Catch 22... We should have won 3 of last 4 but Melo has been terrible. But Melo is terrible bc he has no help, no pg, and teams will do everything they can to make life difficult for him. He literally has no help.
On a winning basketball team, THJ would be a role player, backup guard who could knock down a 3. J.Smith would be a 12 minute backup big. Nobody else on the roster would even play on the Spurs. Shump, JR, Amare, Daly, Acy, Larkin, Aldrich, Wear... Plz.
Our only hope is to suck. Get a top ten pick and steal a rotation player in the draft. Sign Marc Gasol and Rondo. Then, sign Kobe after 2015 with another starter.
Rondo
Kobe
Melo
Gasol
Sprinkle in role players and we have a shot come 2016

I swear I saw tonight's game before somewhere, at some other time. Was this game on Tape delay from last year? Lost tonight in identical fashion as if Mike Woodson was on the sideline
Have you guys noticed Fisher has started several different lineups, almost like he could be consulting Larry Brown. Oh well this team wasn't going to be good anyway, I never was fooled. I said, figured we'd win maybe 32-37gms at best.

December 15th he will get his first crack to do so
I agree BUT 99%... I can't see JR on the spurs, or any winning team... he is not a winning player, low basketball IQ, plays no "D", and is a chucker... can't see JR and pops co-existing...
Disappointed
It's simple ..the NBA is all about the second half and CRUNCH time. Melo shoots 42% in the TRIANGE and 31% going ISO...which taking even one dribble. HE HAS NOT BOUGHT INTO THE SYSTEM, and there is no 3 point D. Send me the Milky Ways.

How do u lose a 15 point lead in the 2nd half?
2nd half mistakes .....
1) we shot to much jumpers in the 2nd half when in the first half we score 26 of our 61 pts from inside-scoring.
2) we did not assign any player to defend Kover extra-tight on the perimeter in the 2nd half.
3) our BIGS let the Hawks (small PG) score at will down-low, plus gave-up second chance rebounds to take the lead .. our Bigs were scared to catch a foul defending downlow

Not JR... the other Smith. That is why I said Big Forward. JR won 6th man of yr award and nobody wanted him as a free agent. He is a waste of space.
