I would give F's to both Naz and Ant, but I gave Rudy a C. There were so many neverminds tonight, and he was our best rebounder. His screening for Ant was excellent, but Ant was too rusty to convert. Rudy only had 3 shot attempts, while he's been averaging 7 in the games Ant missed. And by the way, he only averaged 3 shots per game in the 2 games Ant played before he got hurt. Small sample size, but there seems to be a trend there.

I don't necessarily disagree with your C+ for Ju, but are we starting to take him for granted after he puts up an efficient 32-5-4?

The reason I didn’t give Ant a F was I thought his defense was really locked in.

With Rudy, I defend him a lot but our defense and rebounding were pathetic in the 2nd half, now it was better than the alternative but Rudy was not a solution either.

Then on Randle, thought he was great in the first half, but got passive/turnovers in the second. I blame Naz a lot the defense but Randle also was not good

[Q-is-here]

This is like the opposite of the Brooklyn game, where we had a mediocre first half and then our starting unit absolutely dominated the game, thus inflating my grades for them based on warm and fuzzy feelings from the 2nd half.

[KiwiMatt]

Knicks are a good team stacked with star players. Always was gonna be a tough one to win at the MSG.

In saying that conceding 83 points in the second half is inexcusable. This team has taken a massive step back defensively this season. That’s a massive concern. Good teams are annihilating us on that end with insane shooting percentages.

[Wolvesfan21]

The team as a whole was soft and pathetic. The effort to simply rebound the ball wasn't there and couldn't be worse, now I need to look up the stats.

OK my eyes were right. 50 rebounds for Knicks. 31 for Wolves. They ALMOST outrebounded us on the offensive vs defensive glass. 21-22. Like what? How do you give up 21 offensive board and only get 22 defensive? You usually got one guy maybe two rebounding against your 5.

That is the most pathetic display of hustle and rebounding you will ever see at the NBA level. Truly an embarrassment to all of the NBA and the earth itself. They should get their game checks revoked. Too weak, too pathetic. Don't want to win, don't care.

This is the type of stuff that starts to warm a coach's seat. Something to keep an eye on.
