STAT misses another 2 huge 4th Q free throws. (5 misses on the night).
Great game from Fields. Even Gallo have a strong effort (minus the 3-point shooting.
Nice handles Ray...
Knicks down by 3 points. 13 seconds left. NY has the ball.
GENIUS D'ANTONI is going to win the game with a play right? The master will design something?
His play.... Have Felton run himself into the corner, where the defender can box him in using the out-of-bounds line on 2 sides.... Put Felton in a difficult place, where he'll be isolated all alone, with nowhere to go... not to mention he can't shoot.
What happens?
Felton has ball go off his hands. DEN ball.
What a brain MD has.-******************
Our worst plays in our past 5 losses, deep in games, have been following timeouts and designed plays.
They have been epic, epic fails. Like tonight's, or when we will come out and have Gallo or Chandler heave up wayward, disorganized 3s.
Valiant effort by our KNICKS, but again poor shot selection and poor free throw shooting doom us again. Fields has a career night and so far is looking like the steal of the draft. STAT misses another set of big free throws down the stretch. You CANNOT call out your teamates and then do that. Losing streak now stands at 6 games. This team might bury itself before the All-Star break.
i kind of wanted this win but when u shoot 3/19 in the first half you make it almost impossible to win
Quote of the day by Mike D "You can't just stop shooting threes, you can't tell guys don't shoot and just drive"
This guy is a fool....that is exactly what he needs to tell his players if he wants to keep his job!
all star break? lmaoo at this current rate the new year is a bit too generous loll the end of the month looks about right at this point smh. i was happy they started to get stat the ball in better position and thats what we gotta continue to do. and we NEED to get fields more involved on the offensive end he's earned that respect to get more plays drawn for him, he hustles on every play and moves without the ball( the rest of the team can learn from him honestly )
Damn right. The man gets max points from minimium shot attepts. Very high basketball IQ, really looks like a savvy vet out there. The great thing is you don't have to draw up plays for the guy, Fields just knows how to be in the right place or get himself open in high % areas by moving without the ball. D'ant should be showing film iso's of Fields to the rest of the team. It just shows how low the collective IQ is on the team when the smartest guy on the court(including the coach) is a ROOKIE.
notice when we drive to the basket we play very well and become a different team, yet when we establish a rhythm on offense doing so we fall in love with the 3 again Dam'phony needs to tell them to attack attack attack and only when your open shoot the 3 but we kill ourselves when we want to establish that first. you'll never win at any level of basketball doing that, whether it be organized or at the park. they always say your inside game opens up your outside game. one of the oldest unwritten rules of the game. now its damn time we do that.
the quote just proved to me why this team has sucked, its all on Mike D, he teahces these guys a certain system and never adjusts and is so stubborn to change that he would rather lose HIS way than win by chaning his way.
Doesn't he watch game tape? We always start out shooting threes and missing and fall behind big, then we stop playing Mike D basketball and start driving and drawing fouls which brings us in the games but its always too late...same old shyt different day
