The Friday Night Knicks will be without Jalen Brunson ....
Last night, we never should've went to OT, after finally seeing Mitch, KAT, and OG in the same lineup dominate the Lakers for a quick 10 point lead in the 3rd quarter. but stubborn Tibbs want to play the entire Knicks starter lineup over 36 minutes in a Back to Back game, showing no confidence in any of our bench players. When Deuce & Payne backcourt were doing well holding a Knicks 8 pt lead the first 5 minutes of the 4th quarter.
In Thursday's loss to the Lakers, Brunson went down with a sprained right ankle. Although it looked like a severe injury in real time, the Knicks superstar might be able to get back on the floor sooner rather than later. In the meantime, New York could turn to Cameron Payne and Miles McBride to shoulder the load in the backcourt.
The Knicks have announced an update on Brunson's (ankle) will be given in two weeks.
 
End of First Quarter .. Knicks 25 - Clips 31

Out of our 7 players rotation every one scored accept Precious, he didn't take a shot
 
Precious scored but his speed and defensive hustle is DYNAMIC .. 35-31 Knicks lead .. 9 min remain in qtr.
 
The Clips 9 man rotation is a mess when Hardin's not on the court.
Tibbs played 7 player rotation in first quarter, now a 8 player rotation in the 2nd qtr
Tied @ 47 .. 3 min
 
Half Time .. Knicks 54 - Clips 60

We looked tired/exhausted the final 4 minutes of 2nd qtr.
The 8 man rotation in the 2nd qtr needed a 10 player rotation.
KAT 14 pts 7 reb
Mikal 10 pts
And Shamet played 7 min without touching the ball
43% FG and 40% from 3's

Hardin 19 pts 6 Dimes
Batum 14 pts
Zubac 10 pts 8 reb 1 block
 
Zubac is making his shots look so easy. KAT u have to do something.
The Spurs Kawhi Leonard would have dunk half of the shots he took tonight.
 
Our starters are hustling hard coming from behind being exhausted the start of the 2nd half
76-70 Clips lead .. 5 min remain in qtr
 
End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 78 - Clips 79

We are straining our starter lineup in both back to back games all played 30 minutes at end of 3rd qtr
 
93-85 Clips lead .. 6 min remain in Game
Precious & Payne & Shamet & Hart are hustling hard on both ends but the offensive-end the whole knicks team look for Brunson .. Good or Bad ???
 
I will say it a million times, "Knicks should've signed JVG in the offseason as top assistant HC!".
JVG standing up making Clips players make STOPS on the defensive end to hold on to a 9 point lead the final 4 min of the game.
100-93 Clips lead .. 1 min remain in Game
 
All that talk bout our Knicks building an offensive scoring team early in the season would take back every word after our last two L.A. (Lakers/Clippers) games. Our offense & defense are questionable.
Tibbs made the players and the fans depend on Jalen Brunson scoring throughout the season.
Tibbs did the same thing to the Chicago Bulls team with D.Rose.

We had a 1st option Randle, 2nd option Brunson, 3rd option Barrett, 4th option Quickley, plus winning Defensive players Mitch, IHart, Hart, Grimes, Deuce.
Why did we mess that up for some inconsistent NOVA boys, and a $50M and $40M per contracts ???
 
Back to Back LOSSES
Our Laker & Clips Minutes .....
Hart - 44 - 46
Mikal - 43 -42
OG - 44 - 36
KAT - 42 - 34
Bench Players
Deuce - 21 - 34
Payne - 10 - 14
Shamet - 8 - 17
And no playmaker PG Kolec vs Harden's backup ..
I don't understand? Kolec's skills could run the point better than Hart & Deuce.
