OKC loss got y’all down bad

The worst thing about the OKC loss is they are the complete anthesis of us, they're doing what we should be doing. They have a team of young guys, everything is really going through those young players, for example Theo Maledon, Poku and Isiah Roby play more minutes per game than Quickley

Is it me or did it look like we had trouble with their big athletic wings?

Clippers should break it up and tank for a top pick

[knickstape4ever]

We drafted at 8...of course he needs time to develop.

What did you expect?

part of Obi's value was his NBA readiness. PG was the clear need and Haliburton would have fit perfectly

Watch on YouTube

Obi wasn't even mentioned as 1 of the best fits. everyone was talking Haliburton, because PG was the need and he was arguably the best prospect available.

I think the Knicks FO got caught up in the hometown kid factor + even tho both he and Haliburton are repped by CAA, Obi has Leon's son as part of his team of agents

Has the FO ever said that the "readiness" which lazy analysts assumed he had due to his age, was a major factor in their decision? Cause I feel like that's more of a justification that fans latched onto than an accurate assessment of him as a prospect...especially given how new to that Big life he was.

I think they just felt most confident in him growing into a good player given his intelligence, length, vertical burst, and shooting potential...while not freaking out about his age like some on here have. PWill was my guy, so after he rose too high for us I didn't really have a horse in the race left...though I'd probably have taken Deni were it my call...but I can get the thinking with Obi, even if they believed Julius would do what he's doing.

I think NBA readiness was definitely a factor considering the questions surrounding his game: defensive ability/versatility. questionable perimeter game, lack of post moves, or face-up game. he thrived mainly scoring inside/dunking on lesser athletes

+ if they believed in Julius, it makes the pick more questionable because Toppin doesn't have positional versatility like Haliburton does

This is going to be a big problem for the next two months. I'm beginning to get skeptical about the season unless they go back to implementing Divisional bubbles to play in. They have to get seclude these players and coaching staffs from the rest of the world. It's going to be very difficult.

Bubble is the way to go

In typical Knicks player fashion, Ellington suddenly knows how to shoot again on another team. Went from 35% 3PT last year to 41% this year

They better get working on this yesterday or the season will be at risk.

If they don't go back to the bubble, the NBA should have a mini-bubble in each city -- a hotel where all NBA players and personnel stay when in town, equipped with a kitchen for meals. Also, to the extent they're not already, all flights should be required to be charter flights.
