Jennings is going to drink himself to sleep tonight. That close up of him when he sat for the final time, he looked wild upset at himself.
Missing cherry picked layups, dribbling out of bounds the next possession, and that air ball... Lol yikes
I think Knicks will have a surprisingly good game tomorrow. Might not win, but I just have a feeling they'll play with life. Everyone was on their B game, so a few of them got to be due for an A game

Dolan and Phil are going to do something drastic at this trade deadline.

Dolan aint doing nothing.
Savage single Phil might trade Rose given he's the only thing tradeable on the squad with value (his expiring contract).

hot take of the night :
melo's bad habits are affecting KP's decision making. KP gets his matchup, and does the same turnaround fadeaway that melo does in his isolations. except , KP, youre 21, and 7'3". please stop that old man mess for your later years. thats not the game we want you to develop.
joking aside, the energy level of this game was disgusting. aside from a few players, I feel like we're a step slow all the time.
i was watching the game with some people who are casual ball observers, and many times down they said "wow it looks like that guy with the headband isnt even trying to play defense. or hes tired" . but it wasnt just one player , we came out and fell on our faces. once again the 3 kills.

Could it be a silent protest to the current structure of the defense ?
Or simply ineptitude ?

Lowry really isn't making this team any better.the same dolan who refused to pull the trigger on trading for lowry in exchange for a 1st round pick, tim hardaway jr and shump
If anything itcd expose him when we can see what a string of bad games from him looks like.
Unless they're a bona fide superstar any player coming here is vulnerable to being turned on quick.

Guys. KURT RAMBIS is our "defensive coach". Allow that to sink in…

missed the game, but i just watched the highlights right now...
holy crap our defense sucks.
just a couple weeks ago, against bad teams, we got by because of our offense. but now we cant seem to squeeze by. defensively, nothings changed which is concerning.
big picture quick hits...
- 4 game losing streak coming up.
- Washington was 5 games out of 8th last week, just passed us in the standings
- 3rd to 7th just like that, & continuing to fall
- another winnable game ending up in a loss
- NEED to put a 3-5 game winning streak together, but i dont see that happening
- the team's gotta be on some hohoho steez with the 'New Year, New Me' come January
- RUH-ROH

That January schedule is not hard at all. Very capable of winning 10+ outta 17.

When does a schedule being light apply to the Knicks ? They lose to everybody.
They have another disappointing month look for a trade that'll cement us into the Fultz, Ball, or Monk sweepstakes.
The Wizards have caught up to us. Come February were gonna be battling it out with the Nets and Lakers for lottery position

Gentlemen...if you can't see the ills that plague this team, please remove the Knicks goggles and look at it objectively.
Forget all the X's and O's. Basketball is a simple game, but what I always key in on is the game within the game. Effort and Heart are things you cannot teach.
This team is softer than a muffin. What angers me the most about these losses is seeing Carmelo Anthony smile and yack it up, rubbing shoulders with the other team when we're down 15. What are you doing out there my guy? What are you telling your teammates?
This is the leader of the team. The guy who shoots all the big shots and gets all the big bucks. If he's OK with losing, as a role player, why even go out there and try ?
Yes this is an attack on Melo. I'm completely disgusted at his recent play. Don't gimme nothing about his statistics cause at the end of the day all he can give us is L's. Son's defense is the worse, laziest I've ever seen it. His shot selection has never changed. The only change is that it's not as effective anymore thus making him worse.That play where Jrue Holiday was ahead of the pack and Melo just jogged it up without even trying to contest epitomizes everything wrong with him.
If you're a 6'7" SF in this league, are you even worried about Carmelo Anthony? Swear to god , all you gotta do is start talking to him and the game is yours. If you hit a jumpshot in his face, youre as good as gold. Guaranteed the rest of the game is all about him trying to get back at you. For someone who's apparently so accomplished, he's got a god awful knack of trying to prove people wrong. I've never let myself blame so much on Melo but I'm sick of it man. He's playing like a Brooklyn Nets version of Joe Johnson but with a bigger ego. Horrible. Son you THOUGHT you was a top 15 player All he has now is a reputation. Straight up, strip the name away - and if you watch homie play ball, he's the old man who thinks hes nice. Youre so good but you can't even dominate mediocre teams. Youre constantly beat off the dribble, your J is broke except once out of every 5 games, you're sure to get your **** punched at least once a game so you don't even go down in the block anymore. And noone has the balls to tell him otherwise because he's the "alpha" on this team. 2012 was so awesome because we had vets who definately told him his place .
The rotations have gone to ****. Noah and Lance are getting too much PT and you can tell that's destroyed the bench's confidence and contribution. For someone as player friendly as Hornacek, I thought hed have a better feel for that situation.
I got flashes of last year when I saw Sasha and Lance out there. Jesus Christ what a joke of a lineup that is.
The guys who get paid the big bucks are all selfish, lack bball IQ, and dont tell me that kind of thing is not infectious. NOBODY likes throwing the ball to one guy and run to the corners to watch as he backs down and bricks a shot time and time and time and time again. Then youre expected to crash for the rebound and run back on defense, just to see no effort from the guy that just took the shot. Rinse and repeat with Rose/KP.
Isolation baskeball is disgusting. It's hard to watch, and its unnecessary. It's disheartening, it's team breaking, it's trust destroying.
Whatever good vibes we had going on are destroyed. Whatever continuity was developed has been ground to dust. It started with that Phoenix game and you all already know who was the culprit for that one with his personal battle against PJ Tucker. We're back to square one and we have to build up again.
This is the same story with him since he's been here. I was extremely optimistic coming into this season, thinking perhaps that he realizes he has teammates that can help shoulder the burden, but nah... He's doing the same things he's always done with significantly worse efficiency.
All this talk about him being a leader is untrue. He was the leader in Rio by default. They had like 10 new olympians. Obviously youre the guy they look to.
Son is a fraud and we will NEVER win a championship with him here. He doesnt have championship level effort, drive or dedication and most importantly SACRIFICE.
We are watching a man content with playing out the rest of his career as is. He will try to get his, if we win we win, if we lose it's cool , he'll just deal with the media whatever way he wants. That no trade clause holds it all for him.
All the Melo stans come at me. Try and defend this guys desire to win a championship. You CANNOT show me he does things to inspire his team to victory.
