Game Thread! New York Knicks @ Milwaukee Bucks 8:00pm EST

[MrDollarBills]

Throw the tape against Miami out, we won't miss that many wide open shots again.

Any word on Mitch and Deuce? We missed Ace's pops badly the other night

Lets get this W and show Giannis why he should force a trade to NY in a 1 v 1 swap for KAT

[MrDollarBills]

Also, can we get Yabu a few shots of whatever Charles Barkley is on? Dude sets amazing screens and is active but I want to see the guy that was dunking on LeBron in the Olympics. I'm legit pissed off at him because bad weight gain is absolutely unprofessional behavior. Lock tf in dude i know the food in the city is amazing but more chicken and fiber and less carbs and grease. Leave the pizza alone. Leave the halal carts alone! No rice!!!

I wouldn't mind seeing Jemison or Diawara get a shot soon.

People need to accept the fact that Brown is not going to be in blitz mode and trying to win every single October and November game that Thibs would lose sleep over.

It’s not even necessarily a knock on Tom, he’s the ultimate competitor type of coach and hates losing - as he once said “winning is more fun than fun is fun.”

Last year on Game 3 vs Cavs, Tom played 4 guys over 37min and our rotation was 7.5 players. FF to game 6 vs HOU he played 4 guys over 40min and then McBride 25min - it was a 6.5 man rotation on November 4th.

Brown is going to play 10-11 guys for as long as he can to determine what lineups work. There is most likely going to be a point that once you’re buried and outside the rotation you’re never coming back. But we might as well be in discovery mode this early to see if we can learn something. Losing sleep over the regular season, especially this early isn’t worth it.

How do you determine what are experiments and what are flaws with the coaching/offense/defense/players/roster?

Why must we feel a need to determine that?

Tbh I agree with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leon has built a roster that lacks elite talent and has too many flaws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NiceLikeChrist]

Giannis trying out for us tonight. Think he's nervous?

[thebuzzardman]

Really looking forward to seeing another game of badly played basketball!

McBride on time out while the gambling accusations get sorted

He absolutely is figuring out the best combinations right now and is going to get extended looks at some guys. Further both Mitch and McBride were out on Sunday.

I do believe he will tighten things a bit more when he figures out how many minutes guys like Clarkson (low IQ , can he reel him in?), Shamet (main value is hitting the 3), Yabu (is he really actively trying to lose the weight that is clearly affecting his game), Kolek (Does he do enough yet well enough to warrant 12+ minutes?)

And we have 3 guys who project to be good to elite wing defenders with some tools Diawara, Evbouman(sp?), McCullars. How will they come along throughout the year?

What do you mean? To know how good the team is...

We’ll try and play fast but this roster is not built for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kat, Brunson aren’t run up and down the court type of players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They’re methodical and fundamentally sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude. Chill. Its a new system these things sometimes take time. Brown is kinda experimenting with lineups and figuring things out. Way small sample size but even 2-1 projected over 82 games is 55-27.

Start worrying if by game 25 we somehow look bad and there isnt incremental improvement.

It hasn’t nothing to do with the system tbh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s the lack of talent on the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every elite team has at least two all-star/all nba level shot creators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can’t win with only 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which is why you see all these 3s being shot because other Brunson nobody else can consistently get in the paint and create for others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TKKnicks1]

Knicks will win easily tonight so y'all can step back a little from the cliff.

The the reactions around here are as bad as the pop up ads lately. Absolutely terrible and ruining the site.
