There was also an incorrect non-call on Serge Ibaka for a loose ball foul trying to tip in the winner, and a missed travel call on DeRozan on the missed winner attempt.

Of course that's not new, man alive, I've been one of the loudest to criticize starting lineups, end of game lineups, general rotations, turtling with leads, and isolation in the clutch for the duration of this core. Anyway, the 3rd Q was the biggest issue in this game, not the 4th (which was also an issue and a lost opportunity to capitalize on BOS going cold).
I do recall explicitly talking about the poor effort (mostly in the aforementioned 3rd Q when no one on the team played any defence and only Miles getting hot right at the end saved the Raps from a big deficit), which is a recent trend but not one we've seen like this before with a Casey team (maybe the 14-15 team late in the season, but Lowry was damaged goods for most of that). This game, WAS, SAS and DEN. That's 4 of our 5 losses where the team just didn't show up to play for large chunks of the game. Motivation is supposed to be the one thing we can rely on Casey for - he gets his players to play for him. A big reason for the FireCasey calls getting loud in 14-15 was not just the team skidding defensively due to that insane system, but the team clearly giving up on him and not playing hard anymore. I hope these are just blips on the radar in the early season, but if this becomes a trend all year long, I'm not sure what the fix is."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

He's locked into his core guys. I'd guess he's still open to a JV trade, but wouldn't be sure that would be a course changer.

Reminded me of last year's playoffs when Lebron pretended to drink a beer and spun the ball in from of Ibaka and no one did shit.
Like Kanter is gonna 2B intimidated by LeBron, guy who stood up 2 Tayyip Erdogan. Imagine him being scared of a n*****who breathes the same air as him

I also like Ntilikina's potential with his passing, 3pt touch and mostly his great defensive instincts in combination with his length. I just said this in another thread but really in a way it's too bad for the Knicks that KP is beasting as much as he is because they needed one more good young piece on the wing to really be something in the future.
With KP starting to go off now, they'll likely get back in the Playoffs very soon if not this year which means the future is going to be dependent on Frank and KP's growth, as we know 2 players aren't enough....you need at least a trifecta to get it done.
