Game thread: New York Knicks @ Miami Heat 1/26/2022 7:30pm [Game #49]

Adebayo, PJ Tucker, and Jimmy Butler are completely taking our frontline out of most possessions. Kemba and Fournier need to do something. Anything.

Another turnover for Randle. We trail by 22.

Alright, Thibs. You got Obi and Cam on the bench. Let’s try to shake things up here. Our starters are cooked.

The Trio frontline dynamics of Bam Adebayo & Tucker & Butler makes the Heats a top contender team, and when you add Lowry & Herro the starter lineup says 7 postseason games for a Heats series loss !!!

RJ and Randle are a combined 11 for 22 from the floor. Rest of team is 10 for 30.

When’s the last time we had a shooter get hot? December?

[Kiyaman]

Wow! Knicks shooting 40% FG shots compared to Heats 60% shots

Obi got 8 min and 7 pts
Randle got 28 min 11 pts
Heats got 24 Dimes to Knicks 14 Dimes in 3 quarters

Quickley again outplaying Kemba. When Rose comes back, I expect Kemba to be the odd man out.

When was the last time we put up some SCREENS for our shooters ???

When was the last time we put up some SCREENS for our shooters ???

Whenever Jared Jeffries and Steve Novak last played for us.

How well would Kemba do in the Heats offense ???

[Kiyaman]

whenever jared jeffries and steve novak last played for us.

lol + lol !!!

Burks is 1 for 8. For the love of God, get Cam in the game.

[htr10]

FINALLY!

Cam Reddish checks in for Alec Burks.

[Kiyaman]

Burks still missing easy layups, good move putting Cam in for Burks

[htr10]

I like what I’ve seen from one guy tonight and that’s Obi Toppin. 13 points on 6 for 7 shooting with 5 boards in 13 minutes.

Granted, he’s doing it against backups. Would love to see what Obi can do against elite defenders like Jimmy Butler or PJ Tucker.

[Kiyaman]

Even JVG said "The Knicks 2nd unit plays excellent B.ball" !!!

[htr10]

Thibs going with MRob, Obi, Reddish, Grimes, and Quickley. Got lead down to 16 against the backups, but with Adebayo back on the court lead goes right back to 20.
