Happy New Year Brehs! :alonzoknick:

Well! I had no idea we were playing houston last night. I thought that game was today. At some point I saw Harden's statline, prob an alert on my phone, and was like DAMN. Is that from one game?? This cat went nuts! Imagine my surprise when I get home in the early hours of the AM, turn on NBAtv and see he did it to us! Smh. But I knew he was gonna bend the squad over anyway. But this shyt right here?? How da fukk you give up 50+,15+, 15+ to a fukkin guard?? Got dam shame.

I been begging for Horny to start resting these guys for a while now, glad to see he flat out said it. Seems like he called out the starters in the nicest possible way, but I think it's completely necessary and might be a good thing that he waited before he did it. Dude is playing the friendly card but the punches he threw were pretty clear, "your effort is lacking, whether it's being tired or lack of focus...you ain't gettin' as many minutes"

When did he say that?

When did he say that?

I paraphrased from this piece,
Jeff Hornacek says he needs to see max effort from his Knicks

Entering a month the Knicks have deemed season-defining, Jeff Hornacek indicated there’s a new standard for his veterans: play hard or somebody will do it for you.

The coach’s inspiration for his effort message to the media was Saturday’s defeat to the Rockets, a hard-fought game that the Knicks attempted without Kristaps Porzingis, Courtney Lee and, for the entire second half, Carmelo Anthony.

“You should be coming into this locker room after the game dead tired,” Hornacek said. “That’s the way it should be. If you’re not coming into the locker room huffing and puffing and tired, then you didn’t play hard. I thought (Saturday night) we did play that way. ..We need starting January 1, starting next month, we play a lot of teams that are kind of right in the same boat we are. So it’s a big month for us and we need to come out with that full-on effort every night.”

Players like Maurice NDour, Justin Holiday, Mindaugas Kuzminskas and Willy Hernangomez supplemented energy with efficient scoring from Derrick Rose and Brandon Jennings.

Of course, they were all outdone by James Harden and his record-breaking triple-double. But with the Knicks trailing by three with four minutes left, it was the closest they played a legit contender this season. The effort was also enough for Hornacek to reconsider his rotation.

“Some of the young guys can really give effort in there. We’ll have to take a look at maybe getting them in the games more, maybe giving our older guys a little bit more rest,” Hornacek said. “So that they have shorter minutes so they can put the full effort out there. We’ll take a look at everything.”

Hornacek has not been afraid to cut Joakim Noah’s playing time this season, but Anthony and Porzingis lead the team in minutes per game with 34.8 and 33.4, respectively. It would be interesting to see how receptive Anthony is to the prospects of his minutes being slashed to preserve energy.

But defense and effort have been an issue all season as the Knicks (16-17) woke up on New Year’s Day with a losing record for the fourth straight season. They play 17 games in January, the most in any month with four sets of back-to-backs. They are also in the midst of a season-high four-game losing streak.

Last season, the Knicks entered the New Year in a similar position at 15-18, and mid-month began the slide that led to Derek Fisher’s firing.

“January’s a very important month for us,” Anthony said. “It’s a very big month for us. We can go either way in January.”

So can the rotation, at this point.

“It’s possible,” Hornacek said. “We have a lot of games this month.”

Dexter Hornacek is starting to come out.

fukk it, I'm all for Hornacek laying down the law. Enough of this bullshyt. Melo my dude but all that no defense shyt was only excusable because you could rely on him all the time offensively, but that's not the case anymore.
