At least 2/5 starters will play 40 minutes tomorrow.

We're a great team and showed that. I'm solid with the outcome. Which is surprising cause usually I overreact to negative things.

Your wisdom is on full display here!

Don't put that kinda pressure on me. I'll be back to being over emotional in tomorrow's gamethread.

Haha so your New Year’s resolution isn’t to become a calm and level-headed Realgm mod?

Thibs hive stand up!!!! Mediocre ass coach.

Blaming Thibs, but he had nothing to do with all those wins in a row before this. Silly talk

You got me confused. I have the same complaints in our wins. He's a frustrating ass coach with how he handles mins, develop the bench and slow ass real time adjustments. Nothing has changed.

My pleasure JVG. It was fun. 8-)

We came so close to getting 10

At halftime the Knicks were shooting 41% from 3 and then finished at 28% for the game with KAT not taking even one 3 point shot the whole game. Not one. Wow

Outscored by 20 in the 4th quarter makes you happy? Alright.

We shot 28% from 3. Not gonna beat the best team in the league shooting like that.

There’s a reason we won the first half and dominated
The team was FRESH
SHORE UP THE DAMN BENCH

2010 · Post #115 » by **2010** » Sat Jan 4, 2025 3:50 am

Once OG got hurt, he started going up weak and getting blocked. Then started getting a lil tentative. Team kinda lost some intensity and then the offense stopped running cohesively.

He thinks playing starters more than any other team is something like a cheat code. He thinks this way we can outscore other teams’ bench and that would be an advantage. And it works out well most of the time especially against inferior teams. Well guess what? There is always a breaking point and tonight was one. We needed a bench tonight to keep starters fresh. Instead, Thibs rode them harder than usual and we have this outcome.

Players will learn from tonight. Additionally, we should be able to figure out how to better take advantage of our most obvious mismatch (KAT).

Bro, they will go nowhere if they don’t PLAY A BENCH. YOU NEED BENCH PLAYERS, YOU CANT PLAY THE STARTING FIVE EACH 40+ MINS

Agreed. They couldn’t close out three point shots at the end as they were clearly gassed. You can’t expect them to be able to give 100 percent 44 minutes a game against an opponent like that. Nobody is saying Thibs need to go 10 deep. He just needed to manage minutes and give guys like KAT and JB some decent breaks.

I think the Knicks should prefer to lose 3-5 games this year because TyKo and HukP aren't quite there yet than because the starters ran out of gas ... again. Because one of those things has a possibility of resolving itself on its own and the other radically doesn't.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Play through Kat and bridges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Media needs to chew the coaching staff and JB about this regarding KAT.

KAT doing the dirty work for us but we are not treating him like the star that he is by not featuring him in the offense. He has to bleed for his points!

Yeah we need to figure out quite a bit of strategic stuff. Glass half full viewpoint is that we should be a much better team when we do
