Didn’t like the coaching in this one. We had a lot of salary sitting on the bench in the 4th.

Also the team feels like it has lost its identity as weird as that sounds. Not sure what kind of offense they are playing out there. Looks like street ball to be honest.

The Lakers let the Knicks dictate this game. It was a slow pace, and the Lakers' halfcourt offense looked like crap. We also got beat in the rebounding and free throw departments.

I don't buy the IST hangover excuse. Those games weren't *that* intense, and there wasn't that much traveling involved. This team simply cannot hit 3-pointers to save its life, and it could use a better backup big than Jaxson Hayes.

So many opportunities to win this game and they kept missing wide open shots. They’ve actually been money on the clutch shots this year, especially at home.

So many times LeBron has looked like the clear best player in the league and every once in a while he has a game like this where he looks old and slow. On to the next one.

Bad Coaching.
Bad playing.
Bad, one sided Reffing.

Came down to Reddish fumbling the rebound and the Knicks hitting a 3 with 4 seconds on the shot clock tbh.

At the end of the day, we're still the 24th ranked offense. I watched the Clippers effortlessly drop 144 on the Knicks the other night meanwhile we're struggling to score 100.

Prince started 3/5 from three, then went 0/8 the rest of the game, missing several wide open looks in the 4Q. We run out of talent unlike actually good offenses.

Stu's word of the day with layup. As in how many layups the Lakers missed in the game. Telling.

Missed the game but just by looking at the stats I see we got bullied on the boards. A reliable3-point shooter would've helped, as well.
