Game Thread GAME# 41: KNICKS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 7, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Jake showing em what hustle looks like

 

[Labinot41]

Why is he guarding Herzonja...? That's not his strength in defense... We use him like shit.

Stop with all these excuses bones, if he would guard vonleh or kanter or whoever he would still sucks

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I like how hard Meyers dunked that. Goddamn.

He has a lot of repressed anger.

 

[TBpup]

Nice hustle and pass from Jake for the "Hammer" throw down. What will be missed is what Jake did to avoid the offensive foul on the pass. Nice work.

 

[illmatic99]

say what you want but he's proven that his footwork in the paint is pretty good. Just because he doesn't score on one possession doesn't mean he can't score.

It's not one possession. He only shoots 50% on post ups on 30 touches this season. Leonard is better as are Harkless and Turner.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I just got home - why has Zach played twice as many minutes as Nurk?

Because the game started on a 6-0 Nurkic run, and we don't want to blow them out?

 

[Darkwebs]

Jeez, Jake was everywhere on that defensive possession. Great hustle!

 

[Chris Craig]

I just got home - why has Zach played twice as many minutes as Nurk?

Because Stotts is a masochist

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ comes in and we go back to sticking Jake in the corner while everyone watches CJ dribble and jack up a long contested 2...

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It's not one possession. He only shoots 50% on post ups on 30 touches this season. Leonard is better as are Harkless and Turner.

30 touches is such a big sample size...

 

[Jade Falcon]

Donovan Mitchell drafted after Zach

Nice. Just swell.

Eh, I think he's a bit overrated.

He's scored 20 points or better the past 4 games. I wish Zach would put up those kinds of numbers.

 

[bobf]

Bad shot selection Seth

 

[BonesJones]

CJ how the hell do you miss that...

 

[hoopsjock]

I hate when our guards shoot without making a single pass.

 

[TBpup]

Ugh....MeJ comes in and ignores a WIDE OPEN Layman and jacks up a multi-dribble jumper. Feed the hot guy!

 

[BonesJones]

Here Herzonja, take this wide open shot, we want you to!

 

[LuckyShot]

How... how do you miss a wide open 3 that bad when you're considered a good shooter?

 

[BonesJones]

This is ugly. Nobody can make a layup.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

CJ you had seth wide open in the corner...

 

[bobf]

IQ Nurk

 

[illmatic99]

Jesus why are we playing like them

 

[JDC]

This game has been super fun to watch

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Getting stonewalled by Mario Hezonja....


Zack needs some consistent playing time in the G League.

His developmental has been at a snails pace.

 

[BonesJones]

How... how do you miss a wide open 3 that bad when you're considered a good shooter?

Bad grip.

 

[Darkwebs]

Thank god NY called a timeout. That would've been 3 points for the Knicks.

 

[illmatic99]

30 touches is such a big sample size...

It is significant.

 

[BonesJones]

Getting stonewalled by Mario Hezonja....


Zack needs some consistent playing time in the G League.

His developmental has been at a snails pace.

Or he needs to not guard wings...

 

[Scalma]

I think CJ should shoot more.

 

[TBpup]

Can we go back to Curry and Layman shooting?

 

[illmatic99]

Ugh....MeJ comes in and ignores a WIDE OPEN Layman and jacks up a multi-dribble jumper. Feed the hot guy!

Curry did exactly the same thing. Get after him too.
