Down the stretch of the final minutes of tonight's game you could clearly hear NBA Coach of the year Tom Thibodaux yelling "ISO, ISO". Which meant that he wanted to run an ISO offense through Julius Randle.
Of course this did not work as the Raptors could hear him yelling it also and collapsed on Randle the moment he touched the ball.
Randle scrambled to find an open man but the other Knicks could not find the basket when they did get the ball and the Knicks lost the brief lead it had in the final minutes of the 4th quarter.
You need look no further than at the difference in fast break points to diagnose why the Knicks lost. The Raptors had 21 fast break points and the Knicks only 9. Again this team was out hustled.
On the bright side, Evan Fournier must have gone vegan because he had a whooping 9 points and zero assists tonight.
The Kings of New York loss to the Raptors leaves both teams with the record of 12-14.
In the next three games the Knicks face the Bucks, the Warriors and the red hot Rockets at Madison Square Garden where the Knicks out right suck. Which in all likelihood means that the Knicks will be 5 games under .500 in the next few days.
Wait, Tom Thibodeau was really named coach of the year last season?
Knicks lose again, Toronto 90 - 87 Knicks
