Dame still doesn't look right

 

[LuckyShot]

Ooooh that was a pretty shot.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good coaching by Stotts!

 

[KingSpeed]

Not sure about the criticism of Dame right now. He's basically doing what we all want CJ to do. Passing up contested jumpers and getting wide open looks for his teammates. Taking the good looks he's had and only a couple of bad ones. He'd have 10 assists if his teammates hit half of the open shots he gave them in the first half.

This. Dame is playing the right way.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Hey Stotts.....ball movement actually WORKS. It's not some kind of conspiracy.

 

[KingSpeed]

Layman has made some VERY good passes tonight.

Yes!

 

[bobf]

Amazing what sound offense does for o and d

 

[Sheldon Shape]

How strange... We went up 10 as soon as we started running the offense through Nurk....

 

[JDC]

CJ would be so much better if he got his shots within the flow of the offense like that wide open 3.

I think all of maybe 2 of his shots have been.

He's missed a lot of good looks tonight.

 

[ripcityboy]

Every time Nurk gets a rebound a small Bosnian boy gets a sweet cheese strudel for the first time.

 

[Chris Craig]

I like that Nurk is playing up top, passing. A lot of players in foul trouble get frustrated and don't play well. He is still being productive.

 

[LuckyShot]

How strange... We went up 10 as soon as we started running the offense through Nurk....

As soon as we stopped standing around watching one guy dribble the entire possession away.

 

[ripcityboy]

Damnit Layman.

 

[LuckyShot]

I love Jake's energy tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

Meyers gets scored on at the rim as soon as he gets into the game.

 

[Darkwebs]

Jake hustling, grabbing offensive rebounds

 

[TBpup]

Layman closing in on a double-double!

 

[Darkwebs]

Meyers deadly from 3!

 

[illmatic99]

Jake making Terry look silly for those DNP CDs

 

[Labinot41]

Ugly ass game

 

[ripcityboy]

Knicks just keep driving inside.... our interior D is absolute shit with Nards out there
.

 

[Labinot41]

Meyers' defensiv IQ...

 

[Labinot41]

Leonard is such a waste of a huge NBA Body

 

[BonesJones]

I hate that call ref...

 

[illmatic99]

Dumbass foul.

And then repeats it next play

 

[DDolla]

Good News: we are up after 3

 

[ripcityboy]

Leonard is such a waste of a huge NBA Body

Oh. I'm sure his wife finds it useful....

 

[BonesJones]

Were up 18. How embarrassing......

 

[KingSpeed]

Quick 8-0 run by NY

 

[VenomXL]

Nice end to the quarter guys. 8-0 run.
