    there's really no other explanation for it

    i would say maybe the lighting/sightlines at staples but it can't be that considering opponents come in and shoot the lights out from 3

    Bingo: I think with his podcast etc and just his history Green is a player who clearly is better when he actually puts in work.
    He's admitted I believe that he needed to work harder after being cut by Cleveland early in his career and I suspect that continues to this day

    Refs. What the hell was that Schröder ejection? You can’t even jaw a little with your opponent? These are probably the 2 Finals teams this year, of course it’s going to get intense. Nobody is here to see the refs make calls, let the players play, god damn.

    No wonder the tv ratings suck for some time now. This league is f***ing soft. Add to that a 3pt chucking contest and u have a boring sport. Im watching 20-30% of what i used to :(

    yeah, i watch a lot less than i used to, and it's tied pretty closely to the three point chucking. the league doesn't seem concerned about it, nor do most fans, so i guess it is i who must get off the lawn.

    the incentives have gotten perverse, to where if you have a star, the odds favor pounding the ball and shooting step back threes over ball and player movement on offense. just yuck.

    It’s still the most watchable pro sport to me by a mile. Love some of the new stars’ games too like Luka, Morant, Joker. It’s just fun to see so much skill and athleticism on display in a high paced game.

    Am I the only I one who thinks we’re better with Kuzma in street clothes? He seems to be the only one who can’t figure his way into our system.

    Did you miss the past couple of weeks with him starting? Or coming off the bench for that matter? Odd comment.

    He’s made strides but then every other game takes two steps back IMO.

    No, he’s been playing excellent basketball since LeBron went down, defense, scoring, rebounding, passing. He and Harrell are the reason we won some games.

    expectations need to be adjusted, i expected near elite lvl role player and hes filling that role, expect him to still be the #3 star would be where you'd be disappointed

    Lousy game tonight. Way too many turnovers for us to win this one.

    Knicks shot 18.5% from 3pts and won the game by 15. This game wasn't just bad, it was embarrassing.

    Jeezus, Thibbs and their own selves held Drummond to 3 points and Harrell to 0. Marc chipped in a 3. Knicks play D like the Lakers play D .... tough. And effing turnovers in the face of it plus ourselves.

    We're not as bad as this... not as good as we were against the Nets either. Bron and AD can't come back soon enough.

    23/83 (!) from 3 in 10 games since Bron went down .

    Can't disagree with your post ...

    I didn’t watch the whole game but it seemed like the Knicks took away a lot of our spacing game, which prevented easy buckets. So then after that we just folded. Why didn’t we force-feed Drummond a few times? Caruso seemed like the only guy who cared while we were getting beat. He’s a keeper.
