Id never want us to lose. But thinking of a big 3 of Lamelo, Miller, and Flagg/Harper/Johnson really turns me on.

Positives for me is that Micic finally looks like a solid backup point guard.
Simpson and Diabate both look like decent 3rd strings.

if we could have some luck with injuries, I actually sorta like our roster. our role players could stick to what they're good at and support the creators do their thing.

When Charles says it's a severe minutes restriction he wasnt playing i guess.

Thibodeau assuming I even spelled his name right is just an **** about his players minutes. Bridges still in the game up 23 and 42 minutes played and counting. That's just ridiculous

The more we keep losing the closer to reality this becomes.

Also this might be a unpopular opinion, but right now I would take Harper #1 overall. He's looked like the best freshman in the country and I don't think it has been a debate. Still early so this could change.

Flagg/Harper/Bailey are definitely the top 3 tho. I would be happy with either.

Ill agree with Harper being the best freshman in the country right now, but I absolutely do not think he will be the best pro. I think he's going to be really, really good, but Flagg gives me Grant Hill vibes with his overall game.

Regardless we have to set a winning culture. We will not "tank". It isn't tanking when we lose a player every other game. Quite literally.

Yeah but I like our chances landing in the top 3. If we can get in the top 3 we add another legit prospect and foundation piece.

Instead of a project piece like Tidjane.

Bridges played 47 minutes. Towns played 40.

If Thibs was our coach, everyone on the team would be in wheelchairs.

If i was a Knicks fan I'd be beyond pissed. I know Mikal is an Ironman and that's why I'm a big fan of his but that's ludicrous. It'll bite their ass in the playoffs as well.
