Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. I'm late for the game its 4 min remaining in 3rd qtr. the score is ..
Knicks 70 - Cavs 100
What happen ???

 

[Kiyaman]

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 79 - Cavs 110

We been is this type of situation a few times this season, being behind by 30 points at the end of the 3rd quarter.
As a head coach, "would the Knicks bench-players play the entire 4th quarter?
Or would you be stubborn like our HC Tibbs and play the starter 5 lineup throughout the 4th quarter?
The Knicks are down 39 points 2 min into the 4th quarter

The Cavs starter 5 lineup played 25 or less playing time minutes tonight to build a 30 point lead in the Cavs 11 man dynamic rotation against the Knicks tonight. Boston Celtics are gonna kill us on Sunday.
Tonight Game was a WHIPPING!

Yeah! The Knicks need to change the Knicks coaching staff in the offseason. why?
We did nothing all season to improve the bench-players performance together as a backup-unit.
Our individual Knicks performance on offense makes us a tier-2 team, our poor defense makes us a tier-2 team having an above .500. record in a poor playing NBA Conference.
Our bench players performance on offense is as SELFISH as our starter 5 lineup of top scorers.
Why is Delon Write getting minutes over Jacob Toppin?
142-106 ....
