Knicks - Hawks PG: This is what effort looks like

[knicksNOTslick]

RJ also played with the bench a lot more today. Definitely should stagger his minutes. Make him start but have him sit first so he could play more with the second unit.

OH MY GOD Quickley is an elite defender holy ****.. . . this kid is unbelievable the jump he's made. Frustrated young all night. Kid can shoot, facilitate, defend. He'll be starting eventually. Maxey who...?

Mitch dominated ealy on until they started calling ticky tack fouls... Shoutout to the rookie Sims, played inspiring ball. I'd play him over Noel every game lol. He attacks the boards and intimidates down low with his shot altering and positioning.

Shoutout to Randle who played great defense, made the right plays to find the open guy. Still some frustrating moments but he's got to figure out how to play as a team.

Burks just won the starting stop the rest of the season. Thibs should be fired if he doesn't.

Grimes is GRIMEY... . Just hard nosed pesky defender and that shot. We got some really talented young guns..... OBI, OBI, OBI


GREAT **** TEAM WIN. TEAM

Quickley's defense won this game... he's definitely improved his overall game. Some nice passes and when he sets himself, he's just about automatic. Still hate it when he's out of control but oh well

[RHODEY]

They're REALLY tough. Not a weakness on them.

Only weakness I see is that CP3 will have retire eventually....

True. And then they gave to re invent themselves so they have a window. I was really impressed with what I saw last night though. They've taken a step forward with internal development.

Without CP3 I predict that is all falls apart. Thats when we should swoop in for deals

IQ didn't even shoot well but was more productive then Kemba has been all year.

Yup this was by far IQ's best game of his career. His presence was felt all game long. bbig buckets when we needed too. This kid is special, special, special.

[knicksNOTslick]

There is no world where we cut Kemba, just for the optics alone

and he's not tradeable. there's no answer.

There’s an answer, nobody here can swing a pipe?

There's nothing wrong with Kemba as a 3rd PG. He should just play spot minutes and sub in for Rose in back to back games so we can "rest" both of them for the playoffs.

RJ quietly effective with a game high +18 (+/-)

[Im Coming Home]

kemba's contract is cheap enough that we should contemplate cutting him

There is no world where we cut Kemba, just for the optics alone

and he's not tradeable. there's no answer.

The answer is tough but to start Rose and try to have Kemba chase bench guards around instead of starting guards which in theory should be easier for him and he might be able to cook some bench guards and have IQ next to him

His defense has improved a lot. He's not falling for a lot of fakes and he kept up with Trae a lot. Most of Young's points were on Burks.

You spelled IQ wrong, amigo.

I don't think Rose wants to start.

Vooch open clutch airball from the corner.

[RHODEY]

Mitch was a -5 and Jericho was +14. Mitch is very expendable now. Get on the phone Leon

and IQ is making Kemba expendable

Grimes when his shot starts falling will make Fournier expendable

What does a package of Mitch, Fournier, and Kemba get us?

Outside of the free throws I thought he had a pretty good game

[Capn'O]

I remember all that Burks slander this board was doing to start the year.. I said it already but I’d much rather have him at his salary over Fournier

Fournier is looking better too. Which is great because we're gonna trade him.

[KnixtapeH20]

Burks deserves the game ball he was big time this game

Trade Randle as is the theme before and after every game

RJ and Obi are very good in transition, play them more together

Grimes is a pest on defense. Quickly was great defensively too although his chucking didn't produce much this game, still like the energy and effort on defense

Robinson is absolute trash. Trade him with Randle

Lmao absolute trash. Told you melo,we dont appreciate our good young players. Kept capella in check and made his impact felt early. But hes trash lmao ok

[K_ick_God]

IQ had some bad looking floaters but the jumpers are gonna fall so not worried about that. He is looking like a smart poised PG.

[F N 11]

Not sure what it is about Obi. Maybe it’s because he is elite off ball. When he comes in, the team just plays better team ball. Even last year. He gets the ball, hands off then dips. Please play RJ more with second unit like tonight. Maybe take him out early and bring in Burks early.

[Capn'O]

We'll still need Kemba as Rose insurance.

[K_ick_God]

Zach LaVine is like Ben Simmons if he could shoot a little but only a little.

[K_ick_God]

Not sure what it is about Obi. Maybe it’s because he is elite off ball. When he comes in, the team just plays better team ball. Even last year. He gets the ball, hands off the. Dips off.

The little pass to IQ was good. He was bothering Trae even at one point. His perimeter D is actually a potential plus.
