Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. The Cavs vs Thunder Game was exciting.
I'm catching the 2nd half and it dont look good for the Knicks

End of the 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 74 - Thunders 102

Shai got 39 pts in 3 quarters
 
Brunson starting the 4th quarter LOL
Shai sitting back like he won't play any of the 4th qtr.
The Knicks finally got an all bench lineup on the court this season having 8 minutes remaining in the Game.
Hukporti & Precious & OG look good together having McBride & Payne/ I rather Kolec than Payne.
Hukporti got 2 block-shots already.
Kolec putting up 20-10 stats in the GLeague, and Tibbs give him 2 min garbage-time lol

Obviously EVERYONE sucked tonight, but why are we starting games off with Captain Jalen Brunson trying to get his points in the 1st quarter? Especially, against the 32-6 record OKC Thunder team?
Today, Knicks had No game strady after last week loss vs Thunder!
That gave OKC a comfortable 31-17 lead in the first-quarter.
I guess Knicks really didn't recovered from last Friday night's loss in OKC.
We don't even remotely resemble the team that had a nine game winning streak going into that game
Not only did OKC shoot 51% percent from 3 (perimeter-defense), we shot 12% percent.
Are our Knicks more SOFT than exhausted?
We showed no physical presence defensively. .
We kept running Mikal over screens and dropping Kat while Shae/JWill hit 15 footers wide open inside the lane.
It's hard to win over top opponent when Brunson playing like crap and absolutely ignoring EVERYONE in trying to find his way to the rim.
It's like he is chopping his way thru the jungle knocking bodies over trying to get to his 5 foot left hander in the lane.

Well, this gonna be our 4th loss in 5 games.
And we got a back to back on Sunday and monday LOL
Having no co-existing 2nd unit lineup on the Knicks roster after 39 games ....
We spent 40 minutes in each of our 39 games trying to get our 5 starter lineup on the same-page chemistry, and todays game says our 5 starters level. And coaching-staff level.
Big mistake on Tibbs/Mo/Rick by not TRYING each game to fit 10 to 11 players into each game rotation from the start of the regular season.
It's still not to late! After 39 games.
