PG Knicks - Bucks Fall

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Mon Dec 25, 2023 7:32 pm

Meh. We were due for a clunker and this was it. I’m not going to blame the refs but Silver had them on notice for insurance. Not going to overreact or over analyze. The sky isn’t falling, it’s not panic time, Beas has been good lately, bad game today. Portis too. AJJ made some dumb mistakes but you don’t get better on the bench. Trying to guard Brunson was good experience for him. Pat had 7 rebounds but otherwise did not have a goood game. Middleton with 35 minutes, took 20 shots. Overall pretty good game for him.

We’ll start a new streak Wednesday.

This wouldn’t annoy me so much if Boston didn’t look so frickin good again. Screw being worried about other teams, Boston is the one that has the talent advantage over us and they also play better defense. Not sure why people here are so cocky about playing them.

Late game situations on D and late quarters definitely need some work.

The Knicks played that like a playoff game. We played it like a regular season game. You can criticize that and give credit to them for the well earned W but miss me with using this to push any agendas.

I didn't see the first half, but the second half looked like lots of player mistakes to me.

Eventually someone needs to explain wtf is going on defensively... If the goal is a championship that is.

I don't care AJJ had a pube game, he needs to take some lumps and learn to get better.

no urgency until we were down and trying to flip the switch in the 4th. Too hard to flip the switch after being so casual the whole game. Probably hard mentally to come in aggressive when you've handled this team so easily

Just one of those games. Can’t win them all. On to the next one.

No it’s all Griffs fault. Brew hoop is publishing a 1000 page manifesto why we should fire him and bring back Larry K

PP never misses an opportunity to stir the pot, doesn't matter if it's always based in reality.

Malik, Bobby and Pat make some of their wide open corner 3s and we get another win not only because we score the points but also because we allow less easy transition lay ups after our bricks.

We have to do something with Brooks deep drop defense. We go small ball Giannis and switch everything from the 2nd quarter and Brunson doesn't get that hot. He basically had open practice jumpshots the whole 1st quarter with Lopez looking at him from afar.

Treating Brunson like a rookie in the 1st half and giving him whatever he wanted set the tone and carried over to the 2nd half giving everyone on NY confidence.

Kind of disappointing that our d didn't tighten down the stretch. Giannis had some miss reads like leaving the corner 3 open
