GAME 8: NYK (2-7) @ DAL (5-3) | 102-106 loss

[SportPsychMav]

Knicks also got 10 more FT"s than the Mavs this season. Mavs are one of the best teams in the league at limiting free throws. Only average 19 a game. Knicks have 27 tonight.

And Knicks did not get called many fouls. Bad luck with rimming in and out of shots. Most missed layups ever seen. Atrocious defense, some sloppyness, ntilikina getting hot. Knicks dirty plays and you have a game like this. Plus Carlisle not getting a fucking tech.

Luka took the hardest shot imaginable. And it almost went in.

[bartlettbear]

CUban awill never see it either will DOnnis it is sad that Luka career will be wasted by RC

[DrMav]

Well, that was a wasted Friday night

[Flipper]

That was not very fun at all. Tough loss

[Mavs2019]

Luka took the hardest shot imaginable. And it almost went in.

Please, that was a total trash shot and decision. If THJ takes that shot you call for his assassination. Luka was 10-15 from 2pt range and 3-11 from three. He takes too many bad threes.

[BigDirk41]

That's just a really bad loss. Nothing else really to say. That one will hurt later on.

[mtrot]

We rightly panned THJ for going 3-10 on threes, but to be fair, I have to point out Luka went 3-11, which is even worse.  This is why I like Brunson bringing up the ball.  He gets in the lane and tends to make good things happen.

[TheSportyChannel]

Rick doesn't get his team prepared. 

WE LOST TO THE FREAKING KNICKS

KP sucks. The Knicks won the trade. Frank Ntilikina is a god

And half of that falls on the coach. This team has looked totally out of it since the Laker loss.  I put 90% of this blame on Carlisle for not having the team ready. 

Even moreso for sticking with THJ for the majority of the game. Even though he hit those 2 threes at the end, his disgusting play for 22 of his 23 minutes destroyed this team.

Add onto it his puzzling rotations and inane lineups and you fail to put your guys in the best position to succeed. 

Honestly I'd be calling OKC and begging for both CP3 and Adams.

[Kammrath]

THJ is an anchor to this team. It is beyond me how he gets the benefit of the doubt from RC EVERY night while other guys are on a short leash. 

SO STUPID.

[SportPsychMav]

Whole team stunk it up right from the beginning. Carlisle didn't change anything. Kept his rotations going. After experimenting in all games before. This was not the game to settle for a fixed rotation.

[SleepingHero]

We rightly panned THJ for going 3-10 on threes, but to be fair, I have to point out Luka went 3-11, which is even worse.

Took incredibly hard 3's. He's settling for some of the hardest shots in the game. Last year his step backs were always in rhythm. This year they seem off.

Even then, with how Luka is getting to the rim he needs to stop settling for these 18 seconds left on the shot clock 35 footers, even though he can hit them.

That is a hot take

I've been a Rick hater since we got him. The man thinks he is smart than everyone on the floor. Rick the idiot cost us this game when he subbed in Porzingis when Luke and him don't mix well together. 

Porzingis goes on to foul a player attempting a 3. Rick has cost this team many wins.

Brunson is as shot happy as THJ this year

[BigDirk41]

I'm not sure we are a lock for the playoffs. I was really confident before this 3 game stretch against the East, but honestly we could have gone 1-2 against 3 of the worst teams in the league. We got lucky against Orlando. We can't lose to the bottom dwellers of the East and make the playoffs in the West. I'm not saying we won't or can't make the playoffs, but we aren't as strong as I thought a week ago.

[Archerbro]

time to trade powell.

really enjoyed his time here. but he does not play any good defense. he is always in no man's land. and he doesn't rebound.

I be calling OKC and begging them to take RC
