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

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

[mafra]

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…

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

[mafra]

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!

[mafra]

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

Over the Knicks last 12 games, they are:

3-0 when Deuce McBride plays more than 15 minutes

0-9 when Deuce McBride plays less than 15 minutes

BTW, Evan made right read. Mitch standing alone in paint…. Easy dunk… Evan just made awful pass… he needs to bounce that or lob it.

[mafra]

Mitch 7&5 and Drummond 18&10 didn’t help. Can’t give Mitch a big contract. Stinks we didn’t trade him.

It was a great drawn up play, Fournier is just an awful passer or at least he was on that play.

Taking OBI over TH and Maxey proves Leon Rose bungled his first draft big time. Taking a PF when you needed a PG made little sense. Not to mention OBI just isn’t that good.

Defensive head coach Thibs seven half man rotation couldn't beat Durant!
No Kyrie & no Curry !!!

And the Knicks turn-overs in the final 3 min .. TANKING !!!

There's no crunch time scorer in Thibs starter 5 lineup, that's why D.Rose (Leadership) are so important to have as our Game-Closer, especially during midseason.

Dinwiddie would've been the perfect offseason signing to share the PG role with Randle & D.Rose in a game rotation for 82 games.

Team power forward strikes again lol…and Drum still had his way with our frontline shameful

Obi was the player coach Thibs were suppose to use to win this easy game.
Having Quickley & McBride pressure-defense, and fast transition offense along with Obi Toppin's speed on a fast break, quick-step slashing, and 12 ft jumper, would've had Durant, Drumond, and Claxton running on defense.

Coach Thibs coached and substituted a well 48 minutes of Knicks TANKING against coach Nash 7 man rotation. At the start of the 3rd quarter the Knicks was suppose to push the ball and run run run a transition offense on practically every offensive-possession throughout the 3rd qtr. plus having Barrett, Quickley, and McBride playing trap-defense on Mills & Dragic in the backcourt .. The Nets 7 Man rotation would've been to tired to hit a FT in the 4th qtr.
When Thibs took a well playing hyped-up Sims out the game, when the Nets lineup been having a center and two PF on the court throughout the game .. Tank Thibs Tank Thibs Tank !!!
