HalfTime .. Knicks 61 - Heats 64
The Knicks went on a 10-4 run the final 2 minute of 2nd quarter.

Randle's 4-10 and 1-5 from 3's the first half, he need to rest from scoring in the 2nd half.
Let Brunson's 5-7 FG for 14 pts, 3 ast, run the offense in the 2nd half
We should be running a 10 Man Rotation the final 9 games of the regular season to get as many players on the roster ready for the playoffs.

It feels like the 5th seed boils down to home game next Wed vs MIA. Win and it’s almost assured. Loose and MIA might tie or pass NYK. If season ends 2-2 split, who is awarded tiebreaker?

The brutal officiating from start to finish ..
The refs blowing calls on I-Hart before he could check in the game.
Brunson/Randle 6 free throws combined and Butler 14.
Brunson with the 5 sloppy turnovers.
Our defense let Vincent/Struss look like splash bros.
Quickley having a 1-8 game.
Thibs refuses to challenge anything .. refuses to play a 10 man rotation of ball-movement and team-defense the final few games of the regular season.

It looks like a Knicks vs Cavs (Donovan Mitchell) first round playoff matchup ..
The way we played the last two games (one on one) having no-team defense.
Not sharing the ball so everyone gets some lime-light .. Defense win games, 57 pts doesn't.
When Randle have a bad game it look like his effort help his teammates have a bad game too.
Tonight Knicks was a replica of last season Knicks.
Tonight, Barrett, Grimes, and MitchRob was the go to offensive guys for a Knicks win, but we didn't screen/pick/block/or have ball movement around the three starter players. And our best Team Defense starts with them each game (Monday game, Grimes & MitchRob took ONE FGA).
The Knicks team-defense we had for the 9 straight wins disappeared the past 2 games.
