It was all good a week ago

God I hate Noah

 

[don ramon]

noah so washed

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Porzingis and Noah combined for 8 rebounds, soft.

 

[nick.]

It's 1 game vs a good team.

 

[everysingletime]

Noah's never going to learn how to box out.

He's never going to learn how to grab the ball instead of tipping it.

I think on the last Rose layup the ball was going in and Noah tipped it out

The sad thing is I think this is Noah's best game outside of the game against the Bulls

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Melo is like 10 for his last 40

It's 1 game vs a good team.

they're not even that good tbh

 

[Master Zik]

Turrible.

Why was Noah still on the court this late in the game?

 

[the 718 truth]

they're not even that good tbh

They still have the best player in the world

disappointing game that we should have won

team looked slow and soft tonight. no energy

westbrook outplayed everyone

rose and kp played well but thats not enough

melo kept of forcing his shots instead of passing to the open guy. he is a good passer when his willing

 

[battousai701]

okc is not a good team

westbrook is a great player that makes okc look good

 

[arrjae2]

- OKC gonna kill us on the boards & theyre gonna run us to the ground
- we shouldnt worry about Russ. he's gonna get his numbers regardless. but he's had crazy numbers in losses / close games this yr
- cant let anyone else go off

welp.


usually Hornacek is good with lineups, but the closing lineup was horrible. id rather have Willy for Noah, & Jennings for Lee.


i didnt mind the rebounds, that was expected, but the 2 things that pissed me off was the effort & lack of urgency. it seems like that home & home gassed them out or whatever.


next game in Minny with a more youthful team. that could be another L

 

[you go boy]

melo played bad but lets not act like he was the only reason we lost... the defense was very bad and the rebounding also... noah is just useless... if it werent for his contract he wouldnt play at all...and a lot of dumb plays in general like jennings shooting a 3 instead of holding the ball for the last shot of the third quarter and passing up open shots too

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Kanter 27 & 15 in 27 minutes :x

 

[the 718 truth]

Kanter 27 & 15 in 27 minutes :x

That's totally unacceptable :x

Thunder tough matchup for the Knicks. Not cuz they're good but because they force the Knicks to play big. And from what I've seen, the Knicks are best when they play small.

I agree but we were getting killed on the boards regardless. Might as well go small & put your best offensive lineup out there.

 

[everysingletime]

Word, that's what I was thinking. Be like F it, Knicks getting killed on the boards anyway. Just go small and trap that pick and roll.

Westbrook did a great job attacking the big on the pick and roll tonight. That's where all the offense was coming from.

 

[donewithjs]

I was a Noah supporter but now I wish this was true.

At least D Rose was balling.

lebron aint play dawg

 

[ballinsam23]

Westbrook belongs in NY.

We have too many players on this team that want to be the hero. Rose had a great game but he continues to look off wide open players, Melo stays with his iso **** even when his shot isnt falling too.

What happened to KP's rebounding? Dude used to get 10-13 rebounds a game for stretches, now he barely cracks 7.
