Exactly. We were able to sneak up on teams a game or two. Rubio shoots the lights out on opening night then wiggins carried us for a couple of games and towns had a monster game. We needed super efforts from individual players to win those games and we just cant win as a team. Not with Sam coaching and blundering.

Bazz was the only thing that resembled a living NBA player out there for us. The bad D was all over our team. I don't get why you have it out for him out of all 5 pathetic defenders.
I call it the way I see it. Its no coincident that the Knicks went on a big run with Bazz out there. Bazz just seemed to stand around as guys went by him or he was late in contesting shots. I also criticized Wiggins because he stood around too on some plays or was losing his man.
- Zach with just terrible shot selection. I get that when he plays off the ball he needs to be a bit of a gunslinger. But why the hell is he pulling up from a half-foot inside the 3-point arc!? Stay behind the freakin' line!
- Wiggins fumbling the alley-oop from Towns. Typical.
- Towns trying to be a hero on a 2-on-1 fast break by pulling "The Rondo" move and utterly failing. That might end up on Shaqtin' the Fool.
- After some decent energy in the first part of the first quarter, it all just went to hell.
- This team went from overachieving to underachieving in the blink of an eye. Pretty incredible.
Ricky needs to penetrate and kick out for the open three more often. He started out the Denver game by doing it with Wig, and he just assisted KAT...but it doesn't happen enough.
Porzingis is incredible. 6 blocks and about 15 altered shots
Wiggins can be a bit of a ball stopper on offense, he doesnt seem to ever receive a pass and immediately kick it to the next guy . He takes a couple dribbles surveys his options , next thing you know 4 seconds have gone off the shot clock and it's do or die time.
