Game thread: New York Knicks vs New Orleans Pelicans 1/20/2022 7:30pm [Game #45]

I look forward to another game where even if we win by 30 points, a certain player or players will be widely criticized by the fan base.

Wsup Rady .. I see u puttin up must win Game-Threads LOL

Ingram has been performing loser b.ball the past 5 games, I hope Ingram's not looking to get a season high in MSG, plus a win. And poor Valanciunas need another top scorer (Zion) in the lineup to play .500 b.ball.

Yeah u right .. that's just sports and people opinion on solutions OR the problem !!!
My opinion .. the solution are fix the problems .. It's on Thibs to get the Knicks entire Roster meshing in the Lockerroom, which he havn't done so far in the season.
Kicking a starter out of the rotation after 20 games into the season! COM'ON ..
What really went down ???

MitchRob looks hurt after player 8 straight min .. take him out for Obi

The Knicks starters couldn't outscore the Pelicans starters or bench lineup 27-17 Pelicans.
Randle Barrett and Fournier DID NOT have to play the entire first quarter .. Thibs SMH

Wow! We need a passing-skills coach on the staff .. the Knicks suppose to have a 10 pt lead.
We are playing the LOTTERY Pelicans !!!

Randle clobbered and no call, then Walker touches a guy on ensuing possession and a foul. Don?t blame the techical foul. Absolute Bs

Half Time .. Knicks 42 - Pelicans 46
Our defense was so weak in the first half the Pelicans two centers could've scored in double digits easy.
All of our 5 bench players should've received 9 minutes of playing-time in the same lineup in the first-half of this game. That would get all the starters to try to perform on the same-page in a lineup.

I'm scared of the second half ........

Kemba and Evan have 8 points. We must have worst starting backcourt in NBA? yet again

Evan finally hits a shot then his man hits 2.

Season basically boils down to the 100 mil Rose have Kemba and Evan was a waste. Grimes and McBride would have us in same place for 100k

In the first 8 min of the 3rd quarter the Knicks STARTERS gave the LOTTERY Pelicans a 23 pt lead ..
The Ex-Knicks Mavs team have a 5 pt lead on the Top team in the West Phoenix Suns in the 3rd qtr.

Got outscored by 20 in the 3rd quarter.

Can?t blame this on any one guy. Maybe we just stink. Frustrating. Back to the drawing board.

The Knicks 2nd unit bench players betted their money online for a Knicks win tonight .. lead down to 10 pts

Great run by the 2nd unit. Also helps Ingram got injured. But, we are almost out of time.

The Mavs lost at home like we did, almost by the same amount of pts

The problem with this team is the coach for the most part. Thibs would be on very thin ice if I were GM

Besides Randle name a player who?s truly maximized all their talents under him?and even in Randle?s case appears to be short lived

Matter of fact most players have regressed

There?s a lot going wrong. No one change at any level is going to totally reverse our fortunes. This team needs to establish some identity. It just seems random what we do from game to game. That?s on the coaches, the players, and the front office.

It?s easy to overreact. This game wouldn?t be so bad if we hadn?t lost to Minnesota. Now the pressure really mounts. Last season we went on a huge winning streak in the 2nd half. Can this team save itself or not?

Man, I miss Derrick Rose.

Randle with 4 pints? I can and Kemba awful?.

How do you score 17 in 1st and only 15 in second?
