?When you watch film, it?s just all effort. Effort is the key to everything. It takes no talent to run from the paint out to contest a 3-point shot, that?s just all effort. We have to get everybody?s effort. Everybody?s got to be locked in...It?s definitely frustrating...We?re making mistakes on our basic rotations that we?ve been doing all year. We?re still making those same mistakes. That?s the frustrating part...You should be mad at yourself if you watch film and your teammates are calling you out. You should not want to let them down, and if you?re seeing that it?s you repeatedly then you need to [adjust]. If you don?t make that adjustment, that?s just telling us you don?t care.?
Lets name names Kanter is never going out to the perimeter to defend anyone. Beas is a "lazy" defender, Mudiay does not look like an active defender. Anyone else?

1-16 last 17 games. Man, KP must?ve been better than even we fans thought... just to have this team above .500 now seems impossible even for Lebron.

We were on a 4 game losing streak when KP twisted ACL .. plus we were 5-11 in January having TIRED-KP .... the Knicks need a PF out of the 2018 draft .. which Mills n Perry will not select a PF to take TIRED-KP position.

Courtney Lee needs to put effort into combing his hair as many bricks as he shootsšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
 
Last night?s game is a perfect example of why +\- means nothing to me. DSJ lead everybody with a + 18. He took 19 shots to score 17 points and had as many turnovers as he did rebounds or assists.

Meanwhile, Trey Burke finally checked in with 3:00 left in the 3rd. 16 points in 15 minutes. TB was a -1.

It makes more sense in context. Trey Burke was -1, which was the 2nd best +/- on the team behind Dotson who only played 9 minutes.

I?m not in the business of defending DSJ?s game, but yeah, he missed a lot of shots and didn?t have many boards or assists, but he only turned the ball over twice in over 30 minutes. He shot 3 for 8 from three. Also, he was playing against our backcourt which I think means you start at +10 at tip-off.

We can go back to arguing +/-, but bottom line for the Knicks, we lost our player with the best personal +/- on the team and we?ve been 1 - 16 since or something like that.

It could be all 3 but he did provide a clue and stated ?all year?...I believe he?s talking about THJR, Knits, Beasley

Or Courtney Lee could just be full of ****. The guy gets demoted from the starting lineup, then goes to the press after the one game where he comes off the bench to trash talk his teammates? Next game, voila, back in the starting lineup. Ah, the magic of sabotaging your younger teammates publicly.

Thank you. CLEE is awful. Shoots bricks, can?t comb his knappy hair, and throws his teammates under the bus??? That?s a trifecta if you ask me. And Melo was a ?cancer? ???um um um :(
