Yeah, saw this shit earlier. Trae is cold blooded when he needs to be. Might win something if the hypothetical trade to play with Wemby ever happens.

 

[zeke]

knicks look like ass but we can't take advantage. mistake after mistake after mistake.

 

[Wayward DP]

We look pretty bad offensively

 

[zeke]

starting to look a bit more decisive now.

this knicks team is ripe for the taking.

 

[zeke]

poeltl stinks.

 

[Wayward DP]

IQ had a nice run there. Then Darko puts Shead back in (IQ did look kinda gassed) and the Knicks go on an 8-0 run

 

[MindzEye]

poeltl stinks.

Our offence gives the centre up top too much playmaking responsibility imo. Jake and Kelly have combined for 4 TO tonight. Since Kelly returned from injury, he's averaging 1.5 TO a game (in like, 13 minutes a night) and Jake has averaged 1.7 (obviously in more minutes a night)

Raptors are 26th in the league in TOV, a good way to trim that down a bit is get the ball into the hands of the guards more.

 

[MindzEye]

This is the most encouraging basketball we've played in weeks.

 

[zeke]

this game is right there for us. knicks are a bit of a mess right now.

 

[Wayward DP]

Our defensive effort has been more encouraging so far

 

[Wayward DP]

Darko sucks at challenges. NY is like 16-3 now

 

[zeke]

we make the worst challenges.

the worst.

if poeltl can't be a facilitator on offense he becomes pretty much an offensive liability.

 

[MindzEye]

lol hilarious. "Push"

 

[Wayward DP]

He wastes them early on stupid calls way too often

 

[Wayward DP]

Bridges looks like a real super pooper tonight

 

[MindzEye]

I didn't say at all, I said less...and fwiw, Kelly is the way bigger problem there.

and even if, just his offensive rebounding and finishing makes him average.

 

[MindzEye]

If Gradey isn't hitting shots, he doesn't do anything to justify minutes.

 

[MindzEye]

Shead shouldn't be playing ahead of Davion.
