Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers 8:00 pm 2/8/2017 [Game#54]

[Kiyaman]

3 personals on KP after that foul on BG. I know that's coachable, teach the kid go straight up and down and not lower the arms for the block.

Jeff Horn is a BUM coach .. our young players has no coach guidance on offense or defense
The Clippers are weak defending the SF position in transition or halfcourt offense .. Melo dont want to run in transition, plus Melo holds the ball to long in a halfcourt offense .. Kuz should be going off for 30 points in Jennings n Holiday uptempo transition game having Quinn & Willie in the frontcourt giving D.Andre n Griffin hell

Quinn bringing it today with an 18pt game. WHG just 2 pts on freebies.

 

[Kiyaman]

2 consistent turn overs by Rose .. sit Rose a... down

 

[tiger0330]

After making a great 2pt jumper with the clock running out. DRose makes 2 bonehead passes for TOs.

 

[Kiyaman]

Quinn bringing it today with an 18pt game. WHG just 2 pts on freebies.

Quinn shouldve average 30 minute a night last season and this season .. we have another puppet coach

 

[tiger0330]

Super efficient game by DRose 10/12 and not just layups, mid range jumpers mixed in. I can see the Knicks re-signing him if the market for him us cold and you can get him for 72M/4yr.

 

[tiger0330]

If Kuz converted some of his wide open looks for 3s the Knicks lead would be at least 12 points.

 

[tiger0330]

95-88 Knicks end of 3. Not bad considering Kuz is cold and KP went out with his 4th foul early in the 3rd.

 

[Kiyaman]

95-88 Knicks lead at the end of the 3rd quarter .. the Clippers are easy to score on in the paint when D'Andre is on the bench

 

[tiger0330]

KP back in 4th and nails a 3 but gets called for a 5th foul on a scramble for a lost ball. Looked like a no call to me and not a foul. Again another thing coaches need to work with him on esp if they make him play in the post, has to learn to hold that ball above his head and not at his waist.

 

[tiger0330]

Horn calls a TO after BG blows a dunk in transition that Crawford laid up after the miss. Horn I think was pissed that the only guy back was the safety valve Holiday, no one else got back to challenge Crawford's layup.

very curious to hear the story surrounding oakley's ejection from the building. more bizarre behavior from the knicks organization.
yeah, nothing to see here folks.

 

[tiger0330]

Clips come back from 10 down to take a 2 pt lead. They lead 109-107.

 

[jimkcchief88]

You gotta be kidding no foul

 

[jimkcchief88]

Melo with the 3 Jamaal trying to do us in

 

[tiger0330]

DJ with a tipin OR that makes it a 2 possession game with 29secs left.

 

[and1]

well, back to the ol' drawing board.

 

[tiger0330]

The Clips end their 3 game skid against the hapless Knicks. Knicks gave up a 10 point lead to lose this one 119-115. I think I saw Phil shaking his head at this one at the end, I think he goes into tank mode rather than trying to get help to salvage the season.

 

[Kiyaman]

I dont know .. yes i do .. we got a bum coach Horn .. 3 min remaining in the game and Horn put a punk LOSER lineup on the court .. KP/Melo/Holiday/Lee/Rose .. Clippers go on a quick 7-0 run to take the lead n win the game .. D'Andre Jordan scored 28 pts on 12-14 FGA

I thought the Rose late game drive non call and #kporzee's(showed spunk tonight) 5th foul was suspect but of course not the reason why we lost, we got our share of calls. This game came down to who wanted to play defense the absolute least, which happened to be us.

Very sad to see Oakley go out like a sucker tonight, no matter what his personal beef was/is, can't do that when there's no upside. Why tarnish your reputation doing that and Phil had to calm him down? What another bizarre season with added sugar sprinkles.
