Defense, trust and Deuce and precious being healthy

A lot of the good posters aren't posting much anymore cause the trolls have ruined this board lately. 90% of the posts are green arrow posting tweets from content creators nobody has even heard of or Bluntson/Iron Mantis/Nodope/mpharris/buzzard/others complaining about minutes or wanting Thibs fired.

This is a 28-16 team right now and you'd think we are 16-28.

playing a dead legs breathless OG 41 mins still plenty of thing to hate about

Precious had 17 minutes and was playing good D. I'd like to see a few more of OGs minutes go to Precious. They also were together along with KAT for a brief time in the 4th which I thought was going to help on the boards. But it didn't last long. It would be great if Precious could hit threes so he could play the 4 with KAT 5 and OG 3. Or else trade for a rebounding PF who could rotate in the front court

Yay?

You are miserable..did you hear when they said the hawks are 6-1 and 4-0 on the road vs c’s, cavs, knicks..you think c’s and cavs fans think that

I like to keep the same energy during wins everyone has during losses.

Rh

Ehhhh.. Hawks aren't anything special but they were playing well and just beat the champs. I consider this a solid win. It also showed glimpses of what our defense could look like and what a team with semi-proper substitution patterns could look like. The fossil made some adjustments and it's an inch in the right direction.

Significant win because they were supposed to be our kryptonite. A big athletic team that plays with high pace. We showed that we could counter that , even with Kat playing a 50% due to the thumb.

Thibs haters silenced.

THeBuzzardman in complete shambles coping HARD .

Mitch Robinson haters should be on the lookout...you're next!

Mitch never playing a game for the Knicks ever again. I'm confident about that.

Hopefully Thibs has seen the light...

Hopefully Leon had a talk with him. That he could continue coaching, or start drawing those Socialist Security checks.

So, sham really does only post when we're losing at half or lose a game. The parole board needs to keep him locked up, just pathetic behavior.

Loved the defensive energy by the second unit. They got the Knicks back in the game in the first half and got them a decent lead in the second. With a back to back I would have liked to see Thibs extend their leash a bit more

ngl, happy to see the team perform like this

see, they CAN do it after all. Just hope they keep the energy for the succeeding games

We should give the bench some props. They did their job. Sad to say it but some dudes have an agenda and have to trash the bench whenever possible

The KnicksFix · Post #74 » by **The KnicksFix** » Mon Jan 20, 2025 11:41 pm

Since I come for Thibs’ neck every game, this is the first time I’ll gladly eat crow. He had the right substitution patterns, kept players fresh, we had legs on defense, and went to someone else other than Brunson to close out the game. It was all hands on deck.
Also I like that fact that Thibs finally chose to punish Atlanta by force feeding the ball to whoever Trae young was guarding.
That call to pulverize him with Mikal over and over and over to start the 3rd was finally what I’ve been beating the drum for, these simple in game adjustments.

I’ll eat even more crow if this guy continues to trust the bench.

The KnicksFix · Post #75 » by **The KnicksFix** » Mon Jan 20, 2025 11:43 pm

Mikal only played 27 mins
Would have liked to see the other guys only play 32 mins
But whatever, its a positive considering they were playing 40

There's like 20 different agendas on here, most center around not liking the roster and hoping it fails so they can say "See, told you so".

I had to tape the 4th and just finished seeing it. Given who Atlanta has beaten recently, we did well. KAT needs time to get his shooting had back into regular shape, too.

Even when the bench doesnt play great it's still important to play the. Our rotations and effort on the 2nd half and especially the 4th qtr was really good.

It's not all about injuries with the minutes. It's nearly impossible to play over 40 minutes and keep up the defensive intensity late in the game.
