Game thread: New York Knicks @ Brooklyn Nets 3/13/2022 1:00pm [Game #68]

Brooklyn continues to get regarded as a championship contender despite barely a 0.500 record and currently 8th seed. Man it must be nice to not be us.

Both teams showing the lack of defense that has them underperforming expectations this season.

Knicks trail 28 to 24 with 3 minutes to go in the 1st quarter.

62-60 at half. Nets by 2

Knicks 3-14 from downtown but 11-13 from FT line and only 4 turnovers.

Nets have 9 offensive rebounds?

KD with 40?. 15-30 shooting? 88-83 after 3

Knicks tie it up with 3 minutes left on the 4th on a Fournier 3 ball!

103-101 NYK under 3 left. This is why you don?t fire Thibbs.

RJ and Randle turnovers? KD drains a 3?. Would be so nice to have a PG? would making closing games so much easier.

Without Drose we have no closer back to back empty possessions RJ blows a bunny and JR gets ripped by the Dragon playing with the ball. KD with the 3 ball 49 points! Knicks down by 3.

Randle with bucket? Nets miss and Simms rebounds?

106-105 Nets. 20 seconds. NYK timeout.

What a play drawn up?. Knicks turn ball over. Maybe it was Evan? Listening so I didn?t see?. lol.

Yes. Evan just with a bad pass and hands ball to Bets. After 60 games, hasn?t Thibbs learned not to have Evan on floor at end? He has no value.

Fournier blows the lob to MRob on a nice inbounds play turnover Knicks have to foul fat lady singing um um um

Evan didn?t the lob up in the air high enough for Mrob and it got tipped and taken?

RJ doesn?t take a 3? take sit in a gets fouled. Good for him to make 2 FTs. Bad news is NY down 3. Nets ball up 1 with 2 seconds. What an idiot.

RJ makes two free throws when he needed to miss the second smh?bad teams invent ways to lose?KD single-handedly handles us with a 51 piece and counting crowd chanting MVP?

Turnover Randle ends it? 4 turnovers at end? not good. You need a PG.

Putting ball in Randle, Evan and RJ is not what you want at end. Not brightest bulbs in the light rack

Game was lost when Thibbs put ball in Evans hands?. Last 10 seconds, down 1, and Evan simply hands Nets ball? zero defensive pressure. He just isn?t good.

RJ and Randle should be complimenting a true G who can close games. Not Evan F

Knicks didn?t score first 3 minutes if game? fell behind 11-0.

Didn?t score much last 3 minutes?.

Good in Between.

Simms looked good!

Thibbs said RJ tried to miss that last FT but it went in.
