All this strategery to get more bigs only goes as far as Thibs will play them...it's not going to help much if they don't play or suck if they do.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

^Brunson's size wasn't an issue in the playoffs. His cast was. He **** TORCHED the Heat. Randle needs to overcome his playoff woes for them to make noise or they need somebody who can play there.

Honestly? That sucks to hear. I've done nothing to them, I let my feelings about the team be known and they took it personally, cussed me and told me to leave. I did *shrugs* i don't feel any animosity towards them.

Thanks bro. I'm glad i did too, this board is so much fun.

Becky knows what she's talking about, but I would give Brunson a lot more credit. He is a legit All Star level talent, i think he can surpass that to be even better. But, her point stands, outside of Steph and Isiah how many teams where the PG/smallest guy was the #1 won big? So, Brunson has something to prove in that regard. I hope he sees this.

That being said, the team needs another all star talent on the roster. I like RJ a lot, but I can't help but think that this team could use a more dynamic wing to run with Brunson and Randle.

I'll dice it exactly how I did. Brunson was a +3 over last year's playoffs with a 17 point differential between when he was on and off the court. He scored 41 points in Game 6 while the rest of the starting lineup went 5-32. Brunson and his size had nothing to do with why we lost there. He was a great first option.

We do need somebody else to make teams pay in big games. If they're even better than Brunson, then it's a bonus.

Randle actually playing up to his standard All NBA form in the playoffs changes a lot of things i think, if that happens. But another star is needed.

The KNICKS board and the KNICKS are way more fun. Look at almost any arena in the country and you'll see about as many KNICK fans as whatever team we're playing. You made a wise choice to come on board! :nod:

It's also true that the NBA has removed defense from the playoffs for the first time, like last season. That could change things. But in general, I agree with the PG not being your primary scorer. If Rose had not gotten hurt, he'd have won one. If Nash had stayed in Dallas, he'd have won, granted there's Dirk.

I also think that we are not some huge step away from being about even in any given game with Boston or Milwaukee. Boston is looking great though. But except the end of that last Bucks game, which was close at half, we are not getting beaten to the point where we couldn't pull an upset.

the past 2 seasons we have already tried adding "just a role-player" to the team.

it hasn't made a material difference to our championship chances. we are still right below contender status because we need more than just another role player to be a contender.

Last season we added Josh Hart and he lost in the second round. Even if your 5-32 lineup goes 10-32, we don't even touch Denver and get swept, assuming we even beat Boston

this season we added DDV and are 2-7 against the teams that matter (minn, lac, bos bucks, lal)


so this idea that we are just a role player away from contending is probably wrong.

It’s crazy that the same network that employs so many good football analysts can’t find one person to talk basketball above a 3rd grade level. Like every day you see dan orlovsky breaking down coverages or showing off schemes to fool defenders. When Hahn went on KFS, he’s trying to say you can’t get too dense for these broadcasts but it’s not an issue for the football guys to do it.

Would it kill them to talk about Brunson footwork and his ability to get people off balance and creates angles to score over bigger defenders? Or how much he’s improved on off the dribble 3’s? How about what Julius is doing differently from the first 2 weeks? Or some changes to improve our 3 point defense? I’d understand if was just a random sportscenter but this is supposed to be their flag ship nba show.

It's cause that's what sells

Like, even for the football stuff, when you see it on TV, it's way dumbed down and the hosts are always talking really fast to try and get the point across within their allotted time span. You get way better stuff from guys on YouTube like JT O'Sullivan at the QB School cause they actually have the time to explain what they're talking about.

so lets be clear here


For everyone arguing that Brunson as the best player on the team is a base thats good enough to contend:


if we swapped out RJ Barrett for Mikal Bridges
or
RJ Barrett for OG


away from being a contender?
