The Knicks bench started the 2nd qtr. playing defense to bring Raptors lead down to 5 points.
Brunson & Randle dont have the skills to pass to the big MAN !!!

12 turnovers a killer…. Otherwise they okayed well. RJ, JR and Obi carrying the load.

Remarkably, tonight is the first time this season the Knicks are playing an opponent at a rest advantage. The Raptors played yesterday and the Knicks had a day off.

Half Time .. Knicks 53 - Raptors 62
Sims performance at the center position says he is the Knicks best decision as a backup center.
The 9 man rotation are not working, unless our opponents star players are injured.
The 4 Knicks bench players kept the Knicks in the game.
We have to trade Randle!
We have to decrease Brunson minutes to 28!
We have to FREE D.Rose!
We have to give 10 Knicks players double-digit playing time each game!

In the last two games, RJ Barrett has been the only starter passing the ball to Sims to score in the paint.

End of 3rd Quarter .. Tied Game at 86
Now is the time for the Knicks to speed up the tempo in the 4th quarter on the 7 man rotation Raptors on the end of a back to back

26-10 run. Another putrid 4th. Tank tank tank! They just dropped 3 out of 4 to TOR in 4 weeks

With TOr having played last night… and lost last2, this is a bad loss. Season slipping away

Can’t take them seriously

18-26 from FT line and somehow Obi only plays 10 minutes, despite 14 points. That’s the game. 4th loss in a row. Tor and ATL are better but somehow struggle Vs teams or get than Knicks. Should boil down to Indy and Chicago and Was battling for 9-10 spot. That’s not something to strive for. Lottery is much better for the rebuild. Let’s hope this is a 0-10 slide baby

How does Obi only play 10min? Even Raps announcers were confused. When is it going to end, the games within the game this coach plays on this team?

Why does the team win gms in a row and lose gms in a row?

Toppin's 12 pts 1 rb 1 ast, in 7 minutes of the first half, did not play in the 3rd quarter, but played 4 min in the 4th quarter to have a 5-7 FG (4-5 3's) for 14 pts in 11 minutes.

My luv for Brunson has dropped tremendously .. Brunson don't push the ball, don't throw lob passes to bigmen, nor backdoor passes, nor has Brunson showed any team-leadership.
Brunson is a ball-stopper, and a shoot first PG.
Now, I wish we had Haliburton.
At the end of the day .. Tom Thibs are NOT coaching to win games.
We are headed toward a double digit losing streak!
The 2nd season Scotty Barnes knows how to beat Randle & Brunson .. SAD!
