They are eating someone up on our team defensively tonight.
I really hope we don't regret fighting for the 12th lottery pick...
What a dismal 4th quarter.
Zion: 1/3 from the floor, 2 turnovers
Ingram: 2/6 from the floor, 1 turnover, 1 foul
James Johnson: 0/3 from the floor
Garbage
Basketball.
so are we going to get the randle cheers tonight?....
Three point shooting:
Pels: 6/28 (22.2%) - bench went 1/12
Knicks: 17/33 (51.5%) - bench went 7/14
There's your game, folks
That's good numbers from Zion against the best D he's seen in a while
Knicks put the clamps on our team tonight. In the offseason, we need to focus on additional scorers or someone that can create their own shot. On to Washington.

What Antonio Daniels said about the attention to detail of the Knicks and how their team is composed of a bunch of guys that teams have given up on. And they have responded to the voice of Coach Thibodeaux. That is the benefit of a great coach. We dont have that. Opposing commentators instead say things like “I don’t know why this team is underachieving. They’re really talented. You would think they would be better”
Knicks have Alex Burks. We need an Alec Burks. Or if perhaps Lonzo would accept a role to be a microwave off the bench? Nah.
Again the Knicks faceguard, double, and trap Zion and BI. This team continuously plays Randle straight up. Other teams continue to throw the kitchen sink at the Pelicans defensively, while the Pelicans just sit there and get eaten up in base defense for 48 minutes.
Team needs to continue to grow and build the roster, but that is not an excuse for SVG defensively. Especially on a night when Zion was able to recover and fix some of his defensive warts.
Oh well. Another great game from Naji. His basketball IQ has just been impressive. You have to keep skilled, intelligent basketball players like that. Even if it means letting Josh Hart walk.

This team always fails to take the next step forward...
Would have been a good night to have Lonzo and NAW to be honest. The Knicks knew about our lack of spacing and really took advantage. BI and Zion can only do so much if we can?t make shots. The Knicks don?t have to hold anyone else accountable.
There was a severe lack of energy tonight from this team as well. I'd say some of it was due to the Knicks.
But it seemed like there was no directive from the game plan to force it. You again had even Kira walking the ball up.
Knicks play at the slowest pace in the NBA (97), and that's exactly where this game was played (97).
That ridiculing was done to me sir. And the ridiculer won't have anything to say about Naji tonight or tomorrow of course. They've slidden back into the shadows to wait.
Kinda like when BI has an awesome game and carries the team in the clutch. Certain posters post counts suddenly drop off a cliff.
Comes with the territory.
Anyway, what are the chances both Westbrook and Beal go for 40+ next game?
