Fundamentally Sound
Why TD?? Why go under the screen??? Shit!!
Where is the pride in this team?
We let a couple Sixer scrubs shred us. :barf:
IMHO:
Fields, and even Walker...need to start getting integrated more into the offense. Especially when it concerns finishing out games and giving them a go at rescuing momentum and riding a high
I think pride was not the issue. They couldn't buy a basket, nothing was falling. Just plain ugly.
When your shots aren't falling you have to find a way to stop your opponent on defense.
Why did they allow these scrubs to have easy baskets in the 4th quarter?
To me, that's playing with no pride whatsoever.
live by the three die by the three. When you settle for threes you can beat anybody and you can lose to anybody. While the Bulls win was nice losing to the Sixers is why I HATE 3 point shots. Like Pat Riley said it's "Fool's Gold."
But there was no high they could ride tonight. This exactly what we had to do over the last few years. The plan should be to put the ball in STAT's and and make room.
Another game where Gallo and Chandler were basically non-existent in the 4th quarter. Legit players make plays in the 4th.
Because Douglas had five fouls and fighting over the screen could have meant number 6. Had Holiday missed the shot, his decision would have been the right one. Also tit's not like the Sixers scored at will. It's just that 15 points in a fourth quarter is not enough for a game of NBA basketball.
With the way Philly and Milwauke have manhandled the Knicks the last few years, these 2 games should've been statement games for this squad. Enough of moral victories, playing tough against good teams... jump out to a 5-2 record and show the fans something.
Losing at home to Phil, who was without their best players, tells me this is more of the same. Sure, we'll be a 35 win team instead of 28. WOW. This is no playoff team.

We're just a lazy team. We got up 9, and we started getting lazy, playing selfish basketball.... trying to block every shot, putting PHI on the line. Then, once again.... in the 4th when the going gets tough, we just get lazy and shoot jumpers (despite the fact we don't have any jump shooters).
It takes work to get in the paint and create.
I'm sure this team went out clubbing last night. Strolled in half awake, sleepwalking thru half the game.... just expecting to win this game JUST BECAUSE they were hom and playing a bad team.
An absolute joke.
NO heart from this team.
I'm sorry.... Legitimate playoff teams do not lose at home to PHILLY w/out AI. This Knick team will be another disaster.
Teams that usually make the playoffs know how to shut down teams defensively when they have difficulty scoring throughout the game.Any team that depends on having a 30 point 4th quarter in order to win games is a team whose season ends in mid April.
