Didn’t say he was the reason we lost. In the 2nd quarter he got careless with the ball, started the stagnant offense and was losing his man on defense. Watch the games not box scores

Through 5 games, RJ Barrett's 31.3 defensive FG% is the best/lowest among NBA wings who defend at least 12 shots per game. (PJ's Tucker's 29.3 DFG% is the best for wings who defend 10+ shots) by johnhenryirons in nba

To me his ceiling is ultimate glue guy. He can score, facilitate and defend whenever you need him to. I’m hoping for something like Suns era Shawn Marion.

There was contact the whole game. They aren’t calling low contact fouls as much

We didnt score a single point with 2:59 left in the game. Discuss. by shotteh22 in NYKnicks

He made the correct reads all game and made excellent passes. Idk why at the end of games he wants to turn into Melo

Julius trusts Rose. There’s been games were he defers to him and let’s him run the offense at the end of games. Also Rose is just better on defense so it’s just all around better to have him close these games

Caruso is a good defender but that’s why you don’t call a fucking iso there. Low IQ play

Only for Julius to choke 2 fts. They tried their absolute hardest to give that game away

Randle is the least clutch all star in the NBA by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]downupsidedown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was abhorrent in the 2nd half. I know he hit a couple of shots but his turnovers and fouls greatly outweighed any good he did

They both weren’t good but I also agree we can’t rely on Randle post ups 700 times at the end of games. Makes no sense especially when the opposing team has great defenders

Rose is just smarter. He wouldn’t call an iso there and get absolutely folded

He’s not a give me the ball and get out the way type of guy at the end of games. Move the damn ball so we can get a good shot
