Losing to the Heat just makes me very annoyed. Ever since the late 90's there is no other team that I hate the most in the NBA.
(33 min) Gabe Vincent & (30 min) Lowry offensive scoring needed to be defended by Grimes & Deuce.
Coach Thibs 8 player rotation having 3 players play 40 or more minutes were not the answer on offense/defense
The Knicks 2nd half scoring 46 pts, was no match for Heats 58 pts in the 2nd half of the game.
The Knicks offense were 7-34 from the 3-ball line 20% shooting.
The Heats defense clobbered us for the win by forcing us to shoot 34 threes out of the teams 86 FGA.
And our 12-20 from the FT line didn't help us in a 108-101 Loss ....
Thibs has not improved on game to game adjustments but his in game adjustments are still trash.
Spo will have an advantage there all day. Spo don't even need to adjust anything. Just take away anything that is not shooting 3's and win the game. Heat are treating us like we treated the Cavs.
It's not hard for me to say, "Thibs got out coached today!".
Unbelievable that we didn’t go after Butler the final 3 min.
Brunson was mediocre and tired today, Brunson's dribble dribble getting 2 and 3 defenders on him, did not show any Ball-movement today. I know It happens.
This was going to be a tough one to win .. But, we need to find a way to get MitchRob some opportunities down low, 3 FG shots is not acceptable when he ripping 14rbs !!!

I like Thibs but he seems to have his greatest success when he goes up against coaches a lot less experienced than him. His coaching gets easily exposed when he faces more seasoned guys. I believe the Knicks have more talent than the Heat, but because Spoelstra is a far superior coach than Thibs we are the underdogs in this series.

Wassup up Metro! Gonna be hard to win this series without JR up front. We needed his 20 and 10 yesterday. RJ showed up and showed out but without JR the Heat were able to harass JB relentlessly. Nobody else stepped up and our 3 point shooting was atrocious. Better bounce back quickly because we can’t lose both games art home which makes tomorrow’s game a must win. Like they say it’s a series when the home team loses. After tomorrow we don’t play again until Saturday so hopefully JR will be on the mend by then!
