Josh Hart is super underrated. So thankful we have him

Would be more thankful seeing him on the bench

[Guano]

Kolek is the 2nd best pg we've had since Marbury.

I noticed we did a lot more actions with him initiating today. That's a good thing imo.

He'll need another 50 games to earn minutes from Payne

I couldn't watch the game. How much of the win was the Knicks offense/defense being good and how much was the Bucks' offense/defense being bad?

Around 50:50

Today was a Knick record for cumulative time elapsing between inbounds and taking possession

Best game of the year from Brunson IMO. He was looking to play the two man game with Towns creating for Towns and not just focusing on getting his shot up.

Also Towns had a great pass to a cutting Brunson. They both pointed at each other and Brunson said “great pass”

Chemistry is building. If we want to be at our best, we need Brunson to play a more facilitator role like he did today. Too many weapons not to use.


The ball movement was great and all 5 starters played great unselfish ball which created a lot of open shots. KAT was great got into foul trouble again. Brunson shot was off early but he was focused more on distributing so we were getting a lot of open looks. Bridges and OG did their thing they normally do, and Josh Hart has top 5 IQ in the league.

Giannis dominated us physically when he had the chance. Having Precious would have helped with that I believe.

Koleck played really well offensively, not so good defensively. He try’s though.

Dadiet played really scared. Passed up two open 3s and one of them he had wide open with 4 seconds on the clock, ended up passing to Koleck with .8 seconds on the clock. Also he passed up a shorter range shot. The three he did take he didn’t look confident taking it.

The thing with Towns is that it's so obvious that there's a way to use him and be significantly better/more dangerous than the team was last year - there is nothing surprising about what KAT does on nights like tonight; he is a guy who is historically efficient for nearly a decade in the NBA now. He has the 8th highest TS% of any player in the history of basketball. When you look at only guys who are primary scorers (let's say 20 PPG types), he is 3rd all-time. It goes Jokic, Steph, KAT. We're talking HOF, best of the best offensive efficiency. He's close to a 50/40/90 guy at 7 feet tall.

His defense obviously leaves a lot to be desired, but if you bring this type of historically efficient offensive player into an already established team structure and hierarchy, led by a defense-scheming-and-obsessed head coach who has two of the best wing defenders in the starting lineup and other defensive pieces, there's no need to have KAT's defensive deficiencies be crippling. The man was not brought in to be a multi-dimensional savior and centerpiece, he was brought in to be the historically efficient 7 foot scorer that he's always been. 

If you can't figure out how to properly integrate a level of elite offense that puts him amongst the all-time greats, you should be fired. If you can't figure out how to properly cover for that level of poor defense when you have already established pieces AND you're a defensive wizard coach, you should be fired. 

Thibs has been handed the keys to a Ferrari. If he tries to use it as a minivan around town, shaking his head about gas mileage and a lack of trunk space, take the keys back and find someone who knows what a Ferrari is, budgets for fuel, and opens that monster up on the f*cking highway. I mean DAMN, it's all right there in black and white. Tighten this isht up or get out the way, man.

I mean, I don't disagree with this but Towns actually has both the highest PER and REB% of his career and second highest TS% of his career so far and we just blew the doors off the Bucks. We've seen flashes of the Ferarri so I'm not out on Thibs yet to get it together. He tends to be modular about how he develops things and we haven't even seen the team with the real defensive anchors back.

I agree with both of you. We wait on Mitch. In the mean time can we please experiment with Hukporti - who would probably not foul at the rate of one a minute if he knew he was expected to play 20+.

Hukaporti in preseason: Wilt Chamberlain
Hukaporti during the regular season: Jericho sims

Sorry, Tomato Boy. He wasn't that great in the preseason and he's not that bad now. He's a 22 year old rookie with size, strength, mobility, and a midrange shot. Give him some time -- we're talking about the 3rd 5 on the team here.

It was a joke

Start Kolek and make Brunson the sixth man

Thibs:
We played at a good pace
Guys looked for each other
Good vision good rhythm
Shared ball, screened well, did a lot of little things
OG and Mikal set the tone defensively and Josh as well
Jalen played great floor game
Bench did well
Good solid win.
OG is very unique - strength, speed, anticipation, 2nd and 3rd effort mentality.
Much of what he does goes unnoticed [not by me!]
Same with Mikal
Josh hustled for loose balls, pushed pace
If we play to our strenghts and commits to defense, we're good
Offensively we're fine. Offensive rating and FG% and 3pt % say what we are. Volume has to go up and when we play fast, we're more dangerous
Striving for improvement every day and more consistency. Build habits, do the same thing every day. Win every possession and play to win.[Yep this is Thibs]
See things and communicate with your eyes and verbally.
Jalen had a great game without shooting well, 9 assists, 0 turnovers. Put team first. Karl was the open man.
Recognize who has a good shot and a hot hand.
Teams play physically, and if we're slow it's easy to grab and hold us. But if we're moving quickly, opens up other things.
