Game Thread: New York Knicks @ Denver Nuggets 9:00pm 3/8/2016

[Kiyaman]

Down by 15 .. Rambis puts Quinn back in the game

Knicks getting dunked out of the building by Faried for a 13 pt deficit.

 

[Kiyaman]

I rather Lance over Afflalo at SG everyday of the week

 

[tiger0330]

60-49 Denver at the half. 38 points in the paint. Not a good way to start this road trip against a lottery team in the west playing w/o their best player Gallo.

 

[Kiyaman]

D.Will n Melo are wing SF players when Faried is on the court .. Faried ownership of the paint Glass couldve been cut short with Lopez n Quinn with Melo or D.Will in a lineup .. SMH

 

[tiger0330]

Nice pass by KP to JC on a back door cut for a layup.

 

[tiger0330]

Knicks score the 1st 7pts in the 3rd to cut the lead to 4 60-56.

 

[Kiyaman]

our starters cut the lead down to 6 pt a minute into the 2nd half

 

[mafra]

Beginning to look like another game NYK never possess a lead in the second half.

 

[Kiyaman]

What in the world would make O'Quinn shoot a 3 ball with 15 seconds on the clock plus we down by 9

 

[Kiyaman]

Faried are embarrassing Melo n D.Will as a offense/defense forward thru out the game .. SMH

 

[mafra]

My disdain for Galloway grows with each game. I think this D-league chump should be sent back to Westchester. He's a mediocre defender who can't score and averages approx .00001 assists a game.

 

[Kiyaman]

We are not supposed to lose to Denver .. dont we got their franchise player melo .. WTF

 

[Broadway]

There is negative energy on this team tonight, on the wrong side of 0 for sure.

.

Melo has 22 points (7-15), 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Not Melo's fault that Grant blindly drives into defender, falls down, throws it to a DEn player for a
Fast break dunk.

Galloway is 0-3 from FT line. All in his head folks. Zero confidence. Cannot go into next season with LG as a top-4 guard on this team. With Wroten... Looks like we cut LG.

We need to take Afflalo off the court anytime Gallo is put in the lineup .. Calderon n Gallo play better without Afflalo in lineup

 

[Kiyaman]

Afflalo messes up the Grant n Gallo backcourt tandem

Afflalo messes up the Grant n Gallo backcourt tandem

Galloway is garbage. He tries, so I can't bash him completely... But he's not an NBA player. He can't shoot, never gets an assist, is slow, not particularly athletic, and is constantly watching his man driving into the paint...

 

[mafra]

At least Grant is attacking the basket and rebounding. But, all 4 NYK guards combined have 8 assists. Not good.

6 points and 6 rebounds combined for Rolo and KP not good either, especially since DEN has like 50 points in the paint.

(And what was Grant thinking extending arm and grabbing Jokic's shirt and holding it... Then he throws ball to Barton)
