I didn’t watch either. I’ve only watched one game since Brunson got hurt. We’re a lottery team without him.

And I tried to tell you about them nerd clusters lol


For most things you're unreliable - but I should have trusted you when it's about candy.

And yeah, it's just hard to care with Brunson out. Teams a mess. The Portland game was fun but whatever the team isn't serious even with Brunson. But I don't see him coming back 100 so this season feels like it's wrapped.


I started on these last year and complimented melo over it and then got high blood sugar and had to stop eating candy so make your peace with the world once you get on these things :lol:

He started game 2 which we won and was a minus 7 while he played 5 minutes wtf are we talking about here rob.
That replacing him wasn't a magic bullet because Derrick Rose actually couldn't handle a bigger load than he had.

Payton did suck pretty bad. But I try to remind myself a large part of the animosity to him was by people who were upset Frank wasn’t playing. That was the primary impetus not just strategic reasons, which again had zero success when implemented. But anyway that’s all ancient history now

The Knicks were 2-3 without Brunson last year (if you count the 47 second game). They're like 4-4 this year. Lets also try not to overreact to confirm biases here either.

That’s true but we’d won 3 of the last 4 without him before this. And blew out Miami and didn’t look half bad. It was reasonable to expect to win these two games and we got annihilated. The rigors of the road trip travel might be getting to them though. No way to sugar coat these bad losses

The good news we got is that they’re expecting Brunson back so at least there’s a puncher’s chance of winning a playoff series because this team without him very likely will be one and done. Udonis Haslem wasn’t lying

oh wait so you just expect to make changes in the middle of a playoff series and they immediately pay off?

crazy I thought this was a video game where you can just put a new guy in and they play well. Um how about you recognize during the season that Payton was horrible...start trying out new starting lineups and see if someone works so that you have time to actually work with the new group instead of pulling the plug in the middle of a playoff series.

Its like you guys have a built in excuse for thibs for everything.

IQ played less than 20 minutes a game that year...he could have worked him into a more prominent role but he was a rookie and thibs is stubborn.

I also contend Frank would have been able to help us more that year since he was hitting his 3 ball but not trying to derail :lol:

How do you justify having a guy start the entire year than justify basically pulling the plug on him in the playoffs...that is absolute comedy to try to defend that.

Not I but the people screaming for Payton's head did. I knew no change was going to make a difference because Payton was the best of what we had which was trash at pg.

Thibs gave in to the fans complaints. That's what happened. Fans don't know chit, though.

Well that was part of his analysis. He said if Brunson doesn’t come back. Unless I heard wrong

Right now I don't see any way we beat them looking like this. Back to back blowouts against lottery teams is really bad.


This is all shorthand for “if Brunson doesn’t come back(at 100%) because clearly it’s a night and day difference of what this team is with him gone. Plus the drop off from him to our backup guards (deuce isn’t even a real PG and scam Payne) is insane. And please nobody bring up the rookie g leaguer like he’s gonna save the season


thank you. whole board clamoring for this poor man's jimmer fredette ass motherf*cker every game like that's the answer.

I guess you speaking of Tyler Kolek here? I don't think anybody is really w/o trolling saying that he is the saviour or anything, but let me ask you this:
Why draft an older guy and sign him to a long term deal above the minimum for 2nd round picks if you don't even give him a few minutes with Brunson out and Payne struggling af? why aren't you signing a guy to the minimum(like Hukportis deadl) and get further under the second apron if you are not playing him anyway?
