Game thread: New York Knicks vs Charlotte Hornets 7:30 11/16/2019 [Game #13]

Can we make it 2 in a row. Last time coming off an unlikely win against the Mavs we were blown out by Coby and the Bulls. I expect a better showing tonight against the Hornets, DSJ may have found a rhythm and MRob and Dotson are in the rotation. The Hornets ain't that good, if we can't manage a W tonight firing Fizdale may happen sooner than later.

Thanks for the game thread, tiger! looking forward to see dsj having another solid game!

Taj starting at the 5 not MRob. Frank at PG.

Thanks for the Game-Thread Tiger .... I hope Fizdale run a 10 man rotation having a 2nd-unit lineup of .. DSJ, Dotson, Knox, Portis & MitchRob again.
This game suppose to be a easy win for the Knicks in MSG tonite ....
Should we had went after PG Terry Rozier in the off-season instead of Payton?
Should we had selected Miles Bridges in the draft instead of Knox?

Can we possibly win 2 in a row? MRob and DSJ off the bench should make for a dynamic 2nd unit.

Hornets look inept, Knicks not much better. Knicks up 23-20 after 1st.

DSJ Dotson and MitchRob make a nice dynamic trio-unit .. Knicks should win this game against the Hornets EASY ..
Knicks lead 30-20

How come Randle's performance are a BUM or BUST every game ???

CHA cuts the 15 pt lead to 5 on CHA 13th 3 by Monk. You just had the feeling CHA was going to explode with their shooting and start making some of the ones that weren't falling before.

CHA has taken 40 3s already at the end of 3. 76-75 Knicks.

Grahams 7th 3 gives CHA the lead 78-76.

MRob a good FT shooter unlike many 7ft rim protectors at 76%. Bodes well for him being a perimeter threat. He's been a force inside.

Ntilikina continues to miss shots that you just expect NBA players to knock down.

MRob turns his ankle but comes back limping to the other end and dunks one. Pretty sure he's coming out, stepped on a Hornets players foot which usually causes a guy to miss a few games.

Perry has to trade for a PG unless Allen can take the spot. No offensive flow with either of those guys.

MRob trying to gut it out, testing the ankle but Taj back in.

RJ making some big plays on offense late in the 4th.

Now Randle with some huge clutch shots.

Big 3 by RJ and a big throw down by JR and the Knicks have a 100-96 lead with a little over a min left.

Awful, awful loss.
