Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Portland Trail Blazers 7:30 11/27/2017 [Game #20]

[tiger0330]

KP way off on that 3. Clyde reiterating what PJ said taking the easy way out with a cheap 3.

[tiger0330]

Blazers take 16 pt lead into the locker room. 53-37, you're not missing anything if u missed the 1st half.

[mafra]

NYK bench made 3 shots in the first half.... outscored 20-6 by POR bench. Unacceptable at home!

Ntilikina has been miserable on offense, but at least when he is in the game Portland can’t just stroll to the hoop. Hornacek actually has resorted to using Sessions because Jack is getting destroyed on defense.

Awful. Just awful. Crowd booing now.

Jack has been pathetic fighting through those screens. He's no more than a stop gap and probably won't even be here next year, I'm for taking the kid gloves off and playing the kid.

No heart and no emotion tonight. No defense. Our bench is really hurting this team right now. KP going from All-NBA to just a solid player and THJr morphing back into a role player.

Anyway.... every loss is music to my ears. Top 7 pick or bust!

[tiger0330]

We need a PG that can do this.

[mafra]

NYK start 4th on a 14-0 run. Show some life. Might've been a better run but Beasley, Timmy, Frank missing a ton of open looks.

I think NYK decided Ntikilina had a higher ceiling than Mitchell. I'm sure they realized DM was the better player right now.... I think they made the pick projecting who they felt would be the better player in 3 years.

That kind of night, THJ misses both FTs but WHG corrals the RB and misses a layup right under the basket.

[mafra]

91-78 with 5 left and Timmy misses both FTs. Rebound comes right to WHG, and the bum misses and uncontested putback from 2 feet. Doesn't get uglier than that.

[mafra]

Timmy missing everything tonight. Horn puts KP back in with 4 left... why? If KP comes back in at the 8 minute mark... NYK had a chance to pull this off. But he didn't, and MB and THJr misses too many isolation shots.

[mafra]

Rookie won't stop chucking and I wish he would.... 3-11 and most misses were ugly.

Had NY put together a 30+ fourth quarter they win the game. So far, 26-8 Ny in the 4th.

Can't wait to hear from Horn why KP sat most of the 4th.

I think Horn laid into him after the last 3 he took. I think Horn took away his green light after that one. He has to be under 30% on 3s and that's all he shoots.
