It’s not on Allen. He got 14 boards - 4 more than anyone else on either team. Our guards and wings are soft. The Knicks guards and wings battle.

Our bench was outrebounded 22-5

You wait all season to spit the bit. Terrible.

Darius Garland played 43 minutes, dished one assist and did not grab a single rebound. If he isn't at minimum the 4th best player in this series, we have no shot.

And took one shot in the second half

Why did they sign Danny Greene not to play him?

 

[Futuredome]

I am not going to panic after a game. To me, these are coaching issues. Though JB lovers will whine about that. The scheme isn't working. Change it and confuse them.

 

[Goldin Brown]

Need better performances from Garland and Mobley and obviously need to rebound. Very tough to win when you force yourself to have to get two stops on so many possessions.

I expect Mobley to be much better for the rest of this series, I think he'll grow from this. Not sure about Garland, Knicks know how to bother him, he probably needs to figure out a different way to be effective.

How is Cedi going to rebound when we’ve assigned him to guard Brunson? That makes no sense

I don't understand why cedi was put in that situation in the first place. I'd rather have played neto or levert

There are a lot of smart people here who know a lot more about basketball than I ever will.

If you are one of them, please explain to me the choice of Osman on Brunson.

And speak to me as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever.

Here it is:

Okoros 1-6 showing killed our offense so badly and effectively that JBB felt he had no choice but to roll the dice with Osman and didn’t have the timeouts to play offense defense because he kept calling them to chase the refs around and bark while Luke Walton stood there awkwardly wondering if he should start holding a huddle

Idc if Phil Auerbach or Red Jackson were coaching this game, we’re gonna lose with poor free throw shooting, zero bench help, your best rebounders shitting the bed, and your “star” pg disappearing for a half.

I cant believe I am typing this but Stevens should have played.

he had won the back-up 4 from Wade going down the stretch & JBB decided to go with -14 Wade, who Had struggled playing the PF

34-12 in bench points

About the same as bench minutes.

 

[Green Lantern]

They completely shut off his water with regards to playmaking. I have faith in him, but that was a horrible playoff debut for a point guard as good a.

him.

Mobley didn't look ready for the big lights either.

It seems in games like this they don't feed Allen the ball much inside which should create some points and fouls,

I cant believe I am typing this but Stevens should have played.

I’d be shocked if he doesn’t play next game. Honestly he probably has a better shot at hitting a 3 than Wade right now anyway. And he’s fine to stay out there. I don’t see him finishing in traffic. He’s not gonna get the call there. Defensively hopefully he can man up and grab some rebounds. That’s the main reason for him anyway. Have to try him.
