Basically, there is zero reason to watch any more regular season games. What are the surprises or interests?

That Thibs will adjust? Not likely.

Watch Mitch get in playing shape in a bunch of losing efforts?

Watch Hart, Mikal and OG be exactly who've they've been all year? Excitement!

Seeing KAT hobble around on his bad knee? Not so much fun.

Hoping that Thibs will play the bench? Fat chance. Although Tucker is fat, so there's a chance there.

Why bother?

Pre all-star, most teams would defend us with their center on KAT, post all-star almost everyone we play puts their C on Hart and their biggest/strongest wing on KAT and there's been absolutely no answer for it or adjustment to it. Trying to post that up has been our offense, and it falls right into the hands of the defense which is happy to live with a post up by a player when the weak side help is their shotblocker.

I don't know if the Kings have the personnel to do it, since Domas isn't a rim protector and Murray isn't really a good wing defender, but I'd expect them to try it too. Our offense is going to look putrid against the Blazers though, Clingan on Hart and Camara on KAT is gonna be an ugly night for us.

some teams did it earlier in the season also - but hart was making 3s and Kat was playing out of his mind. OG was also shooting very well etc.

Celtics did it the first game of the season with Jrue on KAT :lol:

and the Rockets did it as well, but now we're getting a steady dose of it.

We made our threes earlier, but we still weren't taking nearly enough. The whole basis of our offense should have been hunting for threes, now after 63 games we're left with a team that hunted for 2s and offensive rebounds, but we can't make threes so the paint is packed.

The Knicks have scored just 106.3 points per 100 possessions (28th) since the All-Star break, down from 119.9 (second) before the break. That’s the league’s biggest drop by a healthy margin, with the losing streak being their worst three-game stretch of offense all season (101.7 per 100) and their loss to the Clippers on Friday without Brunson being just the second time they’ve scored less than a point per possession.

Karl-Anthony Towns (from 59.6% to 49.6%) and Miles McBride (from 52.7% to 45.1%) have seen the seventh and 11th biggest post-break drops in effective field goal percentage among 126 players with at least 200 field goal attempts before the break and 75 since. Towns has seen a drop in the paint, but it’s mostly about 3-point percentage (43.8% vs. 30.8%). The Knicks have shot below 30% from beyond the arc in each of the last three games.

The Knicks are 1-5 since the All-Star break (they were 11-11 before the break) against other teams currently with winning records.

These last few weeks of the season are gonna be a nightmare cuz Thibs has no clue what do without JB. The whole offense runs through him and Thibs has zero plays set up for anyone else. Its gonna be comical to see how bad this can possibly get.

Watch Mitch get in playing shape in a bunch of losing efforts?

Watch Hart, Mikal and OG be exactly who've they've been all year? Excitement!

Seeing KAT hobble around on his bad knee? Not so much fun.

Hoping that Thibs will play the bench? Fat chance. Although Tucker is fat, so there's a chance there.

Why bother?

What about the beginning of the PJ Tucker era?

I'd actually be excited to see Kolek get extended minutes,

but it won't happen

because

THIBS FCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Kolek does get extended minutes and not a five minute dog bone, then I will retract the middle word in the preceding sentence
