Double Mitchell Robinson’s salary.
Idk how we are going to survive without Mitch these next 3 weeks. Our rebounding and interior defense have literally went out the window. We have 10 games in the next 3 weeks 8 of those are playoff teams. Side note Dejounte Murray was cooking us all night.
If the front office is serious about this team making the playoffs they need to make a move now. With Mitch out our interior defense is garbage and our bench still can’t score.
I’m sorry but I never want to see McBride or Obi on the court ever again
This team is going to be beyond putrid defensively until Mitch comes back and by then it may be too late. Don’t expect us to have this type of production every night but we know for sure they won’t be able to keep anyone out the paint.
Obviously the defense was non existent, but that 4 minute stretch where we completely forgot how to play offense ended the game
Our bench finally scores in Garbage time.
I’m not sure what role obi has on the team
No mitch, no bench = bad
We’re not winning till Mitch comes back are we
Terrible ISO ball.
No ball movement.
Zero defense.
Rose, Fournier and Reddish all sitting on the bench while bums like Hartenstein and McBride get court time.
This team is fucked.
Need to desperately make some trades and shoot Thibs into the sun.
I don’t get why we don’t force the issue with quickley. He didn’t miss a shot tonight yet rj is taking every shot in the 4th. 36 mins and 5 shots? Pass the fucking ball to the guy.
The bench was terrible to start the fourth quarter. ATL blew the lead open during that stretch.
One hundred and thirty-nine fucking points
Its getting tiring watching this team fall apart in the 4th lately i dont even feel good when knicks are leading in the 3rd because of there dreadful collapses
Make a trade already
It’s truly sad that Thibs had the best view of Trae and Murray hitting midrange after midrange shot and not a single adjustment was made.
Prepare to lose a lot of games until Mitch comes back.
People really making excuses for this team’s 3rd and 4th quarters. Talking about Mitch, they lose games like this even when he’s healthy😅😮💨
Like I said fire thibs he sucks
* checks upcoming schedule *
😳
*checks tankathon*
😎
If we were ran modern and smartly like OKC there no way Randle would be on this team pass the deadline.
How are you a defensive coach but can’t identify how to stop a pick and roll?
How a defensive coach can’t guard a pick and roll is beyond me.
Yea I get Mitch is big big part of our defense. But the main problem is that we did nothing to attack the pick and roll. There was no resistance at all, they allowed the screen to be set and once that happens, they’re fucking done smh. Not trap, no hard hedge. Let’s just let them do what they want to do.
What is really crazy to me is Murray was killing us in the P/R every single time and not once did we trap or even double him. The hawks were literally running the same play
We suck again!
I can make a whole list on some things that are concerning about Thibs coaching style and why his philosophy is not good in the long run for a team like the Knicks. The team needs a modern approach to the game. I think Atkinson, Snyder, even someone like joerger would be great for them. The young guy the jazz hired(will hardy) would’ve been a home run imo. I know it won’t happen but I really hope Leon doesn’t try and build around what Thibs wants specifically because that has never worked out.
9th pick in the draft here we come.
