Game 64 | New York Knicks @ Cleveland Cavaliers | March 8th, 2014 | 7:30 PM ET

[Stark]

I turned the game off but saw on the box score that Earl Clark checked in. I'm hoping the 38 people still there have him hell.

 

[DW3]

Good effort.









For tanking and getting Brown fired.

You can't tell me they don't need a better coach. This team doesn't lack talent, they lack direction though. Mike Brown plays Jack 39 MINUTES! I guess Waiters is now in the Bennett dog house. Okay, I understand Bennett isn't Larry Johnson (he still should play more though), but Dion Waiters might be the second best player on this team, definitely the second best offensive player, and he plays just 14 minutes!

I don't care if he didn't play great, none of them played great. Jack certainly didn't play good enough to earn those minutes!

 

[MoneyMP3]

Got to love that missed wide open 3 by jack when he had momentum.

 

[BimboColesHair]

I can deal with losing games because a team outplayed you, but I can't take losing games because you play dumb, sloppy basketball...I've felt that way too many times this year about this team.

Waiters on his worst day is still miles better than jack. Why is he not playing.

Because he's the sole reason the Knicks went on a run in the fourth. It's so infuriating to watch him make an amazing offensive play to turn around and give zero fucks on defense and let Pablo fucking Prigioni abuse him in the other end. Just no effort whatsoever getting out to him on the 3 point line. Embarrassing.... It killed all of our momentum in the fourth.

It's sick...I was at game last night and Dion had the most talent on the floor. It shocked me seeing him in person. Why he can't focus on both ends during the minutes he gets is sickening though. No one to blame but himself...he finishes out the fourth if he doesn't play defense like a lazy asshole.

i agree. the talent is there. talent-wise, we are a top 3 or 4 team in the East. MB is making us a 9th seed at best.

 

[TeaLeaves]

How can Gilbert ever think that LeBron would come back to play for this wretched mess? What did we, as fans, do to deserve a double dose of Mike Brown? I mean WTF?????????

Yea, listen, you are correct that his defense on Prigioni was lazy as fuck. You don't go under the screen on a guy who shoots well above 40%. And he did it 3 times (resulting in 2 makes).

But Jarrett Jack half-asses it nightly on defense. He's just kind of out there, doing fuck all, get glued to screens, falling down. It would be one thing if Dion sat for someone, like say Delly, who was playing his tail off on that end. But that's not Jarrett Jack.

 

[Ruggeder]

The ref apologists, in not only basketball, but all sports, what is your mentality? "Good teams can conquer bad refs", no they can't. You build momentum, they take it. It's a close game, they take it. Period. Teams can't out-coach rigged games in any sport. If you have a close game, and all of a sudden nothing is a strike (in baseball), you lose. If it is a close game in basketball and you get fouled with no call, and the other team receives bs fouls, you cant win. Watch a game with two teams you don't care about in any sport, and when there is momentum or game changing calls one way and not the other it is obvious and disheartening. Pathetic.

 

[billmac91]

And Mike Brown is horrible. Notch up another game where the opposition destroys us from the three line. We're incapable of guarding it...

And how Mike doesn't explode on the sideline after Hawes gets destroyed three straight possessions without a call is so weak...instead of ripping Crawford a new one he's seen laughing on the sideline with that stupid look on his face. No ability to interact and work over officials...none. No one respects this guy...

What is your point? Jack contributes nearly nothing to this team! He should be given 39 minutes? I'm not really even backing up Dion. I don't think he played good at all tonight. But it's freaking sad, Jack, continues to play like a jackass, and gets so many of the minutes! What does he have on Mike Brown!

NO one off the bench even played more than 15 minutes. No one in the starting tonight lineup was playing well enough for Mike to ground them all into dust like he did, on a back-to-back. It was a terrible game by the players, but horrible coaching too.

Kyrie and Spencer were okay, everyone else was awful tonight.

 

[Numbers Guy]

I'm glad Gilbert was kind enough to allow LeBron to view our suck in person. Good game guys.. way to do it for Z.

 

[brownindian]

Oh I get it .... We are going into TANK MODE !!!!!!

just saying, we got back into the game with Jack in the floor. The Knicks started getting a big lead with Dion on the court.
