ClutchFans Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets 11/4/2024

Wish Jabari could hit the wide open looks he's getting. I think he can still be a nice role player for us but he's just too hesitant at times.

 

or he has no faith in anybody.

 

Was at the game. Amen is such a beast man. Sengun showing he’s the franchise again

 

Agree.....I don't think Ime needed to change a thing down the stretch tonight. Why change what is working ?

 

Dort’s a bit overrated to me. Jrue maybe—more savvy. Amen can guard 1-3 tho. There’s no other player in the league as good defensively right now. Lebron was very good in his prime and could guard 1-4. Lost a step though.

 

Dillon Brooks is troublingly slow. He just can't handle quick or shifty guards. Man, I really wish it had been a two-year contract.

 

Bari is a rhythm player too. he is def not a knock down shooter. That's why we need a damn offense that can get everyone involved instead of Iso's all the time.

 

Agree. I hope this is not the same officiating crew.

 

The refs hate KAT. Thankfully he was getting the Yao treatment all night.

 

He was amazing tonight, wasn't he? Didn't bite at all on Brunson's fakes and stayed in front of him almost every time — maybe every time? He's also put on some real muscle—Udoka mentioned it, said he adds muscle easily. I bet he would be able to handle a fair % of the league's 4s

 

Movement to get some easier shots would be nice

 

That's the truth...and, it's a shame because the NBA has made it like that for years now.

 

Lol. That was the best moment of the game for me. That Amen fake was for the ages.

 

Dillon has been contributing though. His salary should be easy to unload if we really wanted to unload him. He is a productive player that is a good defender. Many teams could use him.

 

I like Fred, but he does play at a snails pace. In fact, as much as he takes care of the ball, which is great, it still hurts us with all the missed fast break opportunities. It's so much fun when Tari/Amen/Green are in at the same time without Fred.

 

That was one of the best games I have seen in years. Intensity on every play from both teams. That's what I'm talking bout!!!

 

I know it's the Houston Offense...but, I absolutely HATE sticking him on the 3 point line....I realize that's what he needs to do to achieve what we want. But, He doesn't seem "involved" in the offense all that often. In fairness, if he hit shots more..maybe he gets the ball more.

 

The Knicks are a quality team, one we just beat by a dozen. We’re the first team to hold them under a hundred in this early season.

 

I'm really glad we won, I REALLY am....

but if we can't get more FTs even at home, and can't shoot even 25% from three, I don't know how we win in this league.
