    BEAUTIFUL defense by Rivers...absolutely pathetic effort from everyone not named Harden or Faried.

    He needs to pick up the pace. Not enough to beat Kobe's 81 at current pace.

    Nah, Hardaway Jr. is actually a decent wing. But aside from him, I agree.

    fwiw: Trier (who just hit that 3) was a 2-way player who got signed for $7m / 2yrs in Dec. Knicks had their bi-annual exception to use.

    It's like our whole team aged for good after 1 season except for Harden.

    This is the god damn knicks for God sake. This team outside harden is pure trash, MDA is pure trash. I have seen 0 plays the past 20 games other than step back 3. Let’s hear all the apologists talk about how we are facing a good team on the road without 3 of our starters and how it isn’t on MDA or the roller players.

    This offense offends! Can't believe how bad the offense has been lately.

    Why does Rivers play D all the way up until the player shoots? Instead of closing in, or jumping, or raising his hands.... he turns his head towards the basket, backing off.

    Its infuriating. His movement when defending is great until the player is about to shoot, and then he just slacks. Its weird.

    Well, not just weird. It gave the Knicks 5pts in the last couple minutes.

    Why did Rivers not close out? There wasn't time for a pass and shot.

    He never gets fouled. He sqwuaks like a stuck leeetle peeeg every time in anticipation. Then flaps his arms and complains.
    Then dribbles it off his foot out of bounds.

    He sux. Needs to shut up and make some shots!!

    He used to defend Harden and Houston the same way when he was a clipper. Don’t be surprised now
