Game thread: New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks 11/10/2021 7:00pm [Game #12]

Well, now we know our 2nd unit lineup should be on the court for 8 to 10 straight min in the 2nd quarter. Hard Loss!
The Knicks no ball-movement starters got no playing-time in the 4th Qtr.
And It was a great 24 pt come from behind Knicks team that tied the game, hard loss !!!
 
Walker and Forny combined for 4 points And 4 assists. Bobby Portis had 17&5.

MIL went 26-50 from downtown

The bench almost maxes the comeback. Fell short. We lose.
 
Kemba and Fournier combined:
4 points on 2-of-12 shooting

D Rose and IQ combined:
40 points on 14-of-27 shooting

No Middleton, and no Lopez to defend the inside ..
And MitchRob took only 1 shot in 23 min of playing-time.

The Bucks Giannis passed the ball to his teammates in the first half of the game twice the time as Randle & RJ combine for the game. We need a offensive-coach to guide our shoot-first starters !!!
 
So far, after 12 games, with just 7 blocks of ten games remaining?.

It?s clear that Evan F was a waste of money. Not worth the money. He?s had an impact in 3-4 of the 12 games? He?s averaging just under 15 ppg. After scoring 32 opening night, he hasn?t even scored 20 in a game since.

Kemba has been worse. He?s had an impact in maybe 1-2 games?

Bottom line is these 2 cats not a significant enough upgrade offensively to warrant their contracts.

Let?s hope these 2 are trade fodder as we look to upgrade the starting backcourt once again.

Bench hasn?t lived up to expectations either. Nice to see them come alive tonight. Thibbs needs to play them more?
 
How is it that MItch Robinson plays 23 minutes and collects just 6 rebounds? Takes 1 shot. He?s another dude that?s running out of time here?

Randle and RJ not good enough without help. Kemba and Evan and Mitch do not worry opposing teams defensive game plan at all.

We may have to shake things up?

AB is another disappointment

Let?s just hope the team needs more time to gel? but the season won?t amount to much if we get little from PG/SG/C most nights.

Your argument is with coach Thibs & Randle decision making with the starters.
Kemba Walker are a much better PG than Randle!
Now Kemba's defense is putts.
When is coach Thibs gonna stop Randle from bringing the ball down court, and dribbling the shot clock down?
Randle took 9 FG shots in the first qtr., and 8 FG shots in the 2nd qtr, and 9 FG shots in the 3rd qtr. .. we call that ball-hogger! Especially when at the end of the game Randle's stats read he only took 15 FG shots in the game WTF!.
I check the Knicks stats every qtr.
Plus I'm watching Thibs to make sure he don't do the same thing he got fired from 2 teams.
 
Smoke & Mirrors!!
Cooking the books(stat?s) to make things not look so bad.
A Frankenstein team made of a lot of players that aren?t your own.
 
Interesting stat about the NYK bench:

@Herring_NBA
Most efficient 5-man lineup in the NBA so far, with at least 50 mins played: Quickley, Rose, Burks, Toppin, Gibson are +19.9 pts per 100 possessions in 61 mins

I love our bench.
 
That group should get 20 minutes a night. Easily. Just press full time and keep rotating 1 and 2 unit every 3-4 minutes.
 
Randle's 85% the problem with the Knicks starter lineup .. last season recall when we all kept asking for D.Rose to be in the starter lineup instead of Payton .. It was D.Rose that refuse to be in a starter lineup where Randle are always bringing down the ball like Carmelo Anthony where opponents are already set up on defense every time Randle bring down the ball. D.Rose like to push the pace but u cant do that with Randle.
Yesterday, D.Rose, Quickley, and Toppin were scoring before the Bucks got back on defense.
And the 2nd unit lineup had quick ball-movement on every half-court offense, where everyone got a touch of the ball. And Taj Gibson & Obi Toppin were always back on defense forcing the Bucks to commit turn-overs or a STOP.
When all-star Randle's was on the court, I watch our PG Kemba get no touches of the ball on 3 Knicks offensive possessions. Ex-Knicks Payton was ok with that, I don't believe Kemba & Fournier was !!!
Payton & Bullocks were the right teammates for Randle by always covering for Randle's weak defense.
