Preseason Game #4: Hawks at kNicks 10/16/19

Even if Bembry can't hit the broad side of a Trump Tower...If he is hustling on D like that and not turning the ball over, I'll be in his camp the entire season!

We need a vet BIG..with GOOD HANDS. lol

S. Adams. He might not be a perfect fit, but he would bring a lot of positives to out team. Hell of a screen setter!

Btw, you Cam Reddish  unfanboy?...Do you Kinda see what we were talking about with that dude?

I believe this was the test run game LP was referring too.  Rookies did great in my opinion.

Hunter: 14 pts. 5-8 shooting, 2 ast, 2 reb, 1 turnover

Reddish: 9 pts, 4-7 shooting, 3 reb, 2 stl, 1 ast, 1 blk., and zero turnovers.

Just ONE turnover!

Not yet! But he didn't look like a gleaguer out there for a change

I get it.

I just want to see us put a complete game together, more than anything.

Limits TOs, play defense, get the 3ball going, our rookies play well, our bench look halfway decent, rebound, etc.

Lets see:

Complete game - yes for the most part, still had a few too many empty possessions

Limit TOs - check, 11 TOs, 23 assists. ZERO for Trae

Play defense - much better all around, Vince is yelling at these guys who are out of position quite often, I'm hopeful it'll get better as the season progresses. 9vsteals, 4 blocks.

3 ball  - Thanks to old man Vince, the rest not so much. 

Rookies - played well, too timid in the closing minutes, they'll learn.

Bench - Vince, Parker, Bruno and yes even Bembry missing 90 thousand bunnies, his defense and hustle was needed. He just needs to understand his hustle isn't needed on offense, just slow down a bit.

Rebound - won the battle.

Reddish had a least 1TO maybe 2:  he stepped out of bounds and then when he drove the lane and got stripped, all in the last minute or 2 of game

[Peoriabird]

39% field shooting  29% from 3.  We can't play like that on offense and expect to win many games

Bembry 2 of 14, Len 0 for 7. Fix those two and you fix a large part of the problem.

The strip wasn't a turnover. We kept possession. 

[Peoriabird]

Somebody has to step up on offense...The rest of the team can't let teams just beat up on Trae like that!

Outside of Game 3, he's been pretty good this preseason.

Lol.

Len doesn't look as 'spry' even for Len. I will surmise the back and a ankle injuries set him back....however,  he still has 'badhandsitis'...no fixing that.

At least Jones was where he needed to be.

THIS all day! 

[Peoriabird]

You have to give Trae all of the credit in the world...Here is this little guy that has to carry the offense while the other team's best defender is hounding him from the moment he touches the ball and then he get blitzed by a second guy once he crosses half court and he still out scores everyone else.  Amazing!  Toughest guy on the team!

[terrell]

That contract though...
