PG: Knicks-Heat aka Pass the Dutch

[Mr Rabbit]

all were missing is an accused rapist

Knicks didn't want Dotson.

Oh, you mean the OTHER one.

Wait...we’re not talking about Porzingis?

I think Thibs is aware he lost this game with his rotations. He stubborn but he's not an idiot.

People who've said that also said it was only a matter of time until Quickley starts over Payton.

"Thibs sees what's going on"
"Thibs isn't blind"
"Thibs isn't stupid"

I don't think he's learning from this. He likes Payton for whatever reason, and the fact that he assuredly lobbied for Rose (a point guard with a similar profile) tells me that he actually wants more of the same.

There are simple point guard things that Quickly struggles with though so just handing him starting minutes takes away accountability for these issues. I'm over complaining about Payton starting, but Thibs can clearly do better with staggering minutes. There's no reason Quickley should be prevented from playing minutes with Randle or RJ. Technically IQ should be the first guy off the bench, but instead we get Burks, Noel/Taj before the bench dump. Its lazy and not innovative at all. You can play ten players without rotating them the exact same way every game.

Agreed.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Looks like I'll be rooting for losses again after this trade and watching all vet lineups today. Thibs is a fool.

[F N 11]

Now we're adding Rose to take even more minutes from IQ? This team f*cking sucks like it always has. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a few more middling vets to help us 'get in the playoffs' with a losing record and the 8th seed, just to get swept in the first round.

F*ck this team. We're not going anywhere fast. All we're doing is decreasing our chances of getting a franchise type player in a great draft.

I see people waking up.

Heat play some of the toughest defense I've seen all season. Both teams feel similar to each other but they were in the Finals last year of course.

yep. and i think organizationally/coaching-wise they're really the blueprint we're following now.

no we are not. they play a lot of young guys, even undrafted rookies. we are the exact opposite

[snadler]

I’ve never been so conflicted with a coach as Thibs, the realty is this is a 20 win team talent wise and they are competing at a level we haven’t seen in years, BUT the love affair for Payton is also as frustrating as anything I’ve seen in a coach as well

This is really disheartening!!!!!!!!!

What reason do Knicks fans have to "trust the vision".

It's what baffles me the most honestly.

Not based on anything we saw today. Same dumb decisions that lead to mid lottery picks. No development of kids and you don’t win now. Lose lose.

I’m going going to give it more games before assuming it is a foregone conclusion that this what we’re going to see the rest of the year. Hopefully this is an outlier.

[NewKnicks]

Says a lot that teams are doubling Q.

True, but that's only because they know the Knicks have no one else on the roster to be concerned about. It's not like IQ is Dame Lillard or something.

Miami knew if they took out IQ, the Knicks couldn't do a damn thing. Get used to this happening more and more. That's if Rose doesn't take all of IQ's minutes.

this is genuinely depressing to watch. No hyperbole.

Yep. This kid is constantly ignored by vets who have no future here. I don’t think this was one case of it, IQ didn’t throw it

[RHODEY]

RJ is NOT and WILL NOT be a number 1 on a good team. At BEST he's a #2, but I think in the end he'll be a good #3 on a championship team. If the Knicks ever get there.

[DaGawd]

Maybe I’m in the minority but I thought this was a pretty entertaining game. Great to see us compete with a team that made it to the finals. We building a winning culture here.

Yeah I’m not even that upset really. Wish we could’ve beat them tho.. fk Miami

I had to do a double take reading this tweet.

Yup Spo was willing to let Herro play through his mistakes because he knew the team needed his ability to create offense. Now he is a practical coach who values winning over his own habits and preconceptions.
