    He needs to find his legs. His legs are effecting his 3 pt shot and he's getting swatted left and right at the rim and missing easy lay ups. He's barely getting off the ground now a days.

    It was a lot of things that went wrong tonight and the Rox still should have won. Tucker had no chance down low and was bullied all night long and couldn't keep their bigs off the board and the rest of the Rox didn't do enough to help to keep them off the boards either. Harden still sucking from downtown is hurting as well. Bad loss but can't dwell on it. Second seed should be the goal but the Rox have had so many bad losses I'm not expecting at this point.

    Knicks ran a Illegal defense alot. . . no 3 seconds calls
    They were very physical . . . very handsy .. .

    They simply seem to beat up Russ and Harden
    The Refs allowed it . .. . .

    I am not overly upset .. . but
    maybe this is the wake up call
    maybe they were looking ahead

    it is what it is

    I’m devastated. I feel like a horse with no legs.

    Spacing the floor. I love that initial setup but I'd like to see something like one of them slips a screen then catches the pass in a Sprint right in the middle of the floor.

    I didn't have a problem with that shot though frank had his hands all over WB. That's probably a foul in the first half. He got a good look just rimmed out.

    Sick of this franchise taking these types of games for granted. 6 game win streak to lose to the Knicks is another slap in the face to us.

    It was an okay look.

    I'm sure it's one of the last shots that we were looking for.

    I would love to think this loss is a wake up call that they need to play hard from the start against weak teams as well.

    ...but reality is they haven't learnt from other rubbish losses so I don't think they will start now. We really do lack that killer instinct and ability to lock in

    Westbrook’s +/- is misleading because MDA constantly plays him in the 4 guard rotation with rivers, mclemore, and Gordon. And that lineup gets completely dominated every time. Can’t defend, can’t rebound, and Gordon just chucks bricks.

    Oh well. Sh*t happens. I guess we aren't above the old trap game jinx. I'm sure that the garm will be unbearable tonight. Harden sucks, fire MDA, Bill Simmons has been vindicated blah blah blah.

    When did they play hard, the 4th?

    Rockets played like crap for 3qtrs, shameful effort for 75% of the game.

    Yeah I noticed that... His first step is much slower & he's not even jumping to get rebounds

    Perhaps it’s side effects of practicing one leg 3pt shooting.

    They remind me of the Anthony Davis Pelicans teams that had the Rockets number

    I really hope EG finds his way when the playoffs start. He's such an amazing asset at his best.

    I'm pretty sure the Knicks beat the Mavs.
