- Thread starter rady
- Start date
Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Tournament Game-Thread .. I like our opponent tonite, not crazy bout a tournament 20 games into the season.
The Bucks (25/7) PG Dame been performing as if the starter PG spot on the all-star team belongs to him.
Brunson & Grimes got to turn up their level defending Dame tonight.
The Bigman War of the two teams .. Mitch/Hartenstein/Randle vs Lopez/Ghianis/Portis/Crowder are gonna decide the game WIN.

Half Time .. Knicks 72 - Bucks 75
Dame 3 ball broke the 72 tied ....
Knicks scored 72 points in two quarters .. this tournament.
Knicks shooting 58% from FG, and 30% (10-30) from 3's.
Bucks shooting 65% from FG, and 66% (12-18) from 3's
Some coaches know their not a 3-ball shooting team

Randle's consecutive turn overs bothered me when defended by Giannis
Its Randle's 2nd half performance that always have me worried

Knicks 3-13
MIL 17-25
Not gonna win many games with that 3-point disparity
Knicks down by 18. Allowed 110 points already. Still 3Q. After 3 days off, this has to be a humbling loss. Shows you team has ceiling and that’s second round (best case scenario). Maybe a game 6. Not much else.
Their reward for advancing is playing 2 extra road games - at MIL and at BOS on a back to back. Ouch. 12 of first 34 games at home.

And they shot 23-38.
146-122 .. We were outplayed and out-coached by the Bucks!
Our perimeter-defense STINKED .. When you let a team hit 23 3-pointers and you cannot defend the 3, you are going to lose the game.
Brunson 45 pts on the Bucks resulted in a Knicks loss.
Randle 41 pts on the Bucks resulted in a Knicks blow-out loss.
I guess we don’t want to play the Bucks or the Timberwolves again this season. Embarrassed by both teams !!!
SG Grimes took 1 shot attempt last night in his 18 minute performance. Why?
Is it because the Knicks added SG Donte in the offseason?
And coach Thibs have a career habit of pulling young players out the game after a missed shot.
Quentin Grimes says he feels like if he misses a shot he’s getting pulled from the game:
“Every shot I shoot feels like it probably weighs 100 pounds.”
Here's two teammates comment, that didn't have Grimes talent in their 2nd, 3rd season in the NBA to make the starter lineup on their lottery team.
Randle on Grimes: “He has a hard job, a tough role…we have to do a better job of trying to get him better looks.”
Brunson: “…He’s going to get the ball, so sometimes when the confidence is low it seems like the end of the world…as teammates we need to pick him up…”
