Zero resistance in the paint everytime Mitch came out. Maybe don't put RJ on one of the best, quickest, shiftiest points in the league and your defensive anchor won't pick up 5 fouls since the refs love calling bs for Morant.




He had to play 40 because Mitch couldn't stay on the court and was picking up a foul every 2 minutes, he was also -7 in the short time he was on the floor. He was just bad last night.

Hartenstein played well and gives us a different dimension, plus he made a clutch freethrow. This is about sham hating on the honorable brother Isaiah and now ducking the charges to revel in our pain, even though he too is in pain.


:lol: you rj fans can't spin this one. you bet the house on evan turner jr and now you're living in your mom's back room where your grandma is hooked up to the respirator.


Well damn

it may be a more sensible pairing than mitch/noel was because it gives you something different but i can't say that here and survive....so f*ck that man :lol:


Yeah, Noel with hands and range is probably a good comp. That's a good player. Love Mitch but he hasn't brought the versatility to his game that I had hoped. Each can provide something.

The man had more personal fouls than points.
He had 10 games like that last year.
That’s a pretty big chunk of the season with ‘ineffective center’ play.

He was 2 for 3 in 13 minutes shut the **** up

U can't have inefficient play in 13 minutes when u don't touch the ball dumbass

How do people live game by game like this? Do you also live your life like this? Everything is a huge event until the next day’s event?

The only thing Cam Reddish playing well last night did is expose how the Knicks do not have any players with that type of athleticism (other than Obi) who can make an impact in the modern NBA and players who lack creativity on offense due to their many deficiencies, including playmaking and court vision. This team continues to be built and play like early 2000’s basketball. Half court basketball, lack of shooting, lack of quickness and athleticism, etc. This team will have the same type of season as last year. Look great against the bottom feeders and lose, for the most part, against good teams.




The allure with Cam is that he's so clearly talented, and when it works it looks like he's doing a Paul George impersonation, the problem is and has always been upstairs, putting it all together and being consistent. Everything he does on the court looks smooth and effortless.


Trouble is Cam going from Paul George to Curious George in a heartbeat

Cam is arguably our highest ceiling player

He was really good for the most part last night, but it's still concerning to me how often he was out of position on defense. Some of that I'll chalk up to Thibs because we always overhelp the driver and leave the elbows open, but some of it is him playing like a guy who's never had to learn fundamentals cause he was just always bigger and more athletic than everyone around him

But he did good, and if he plays like that consistently, he definitely deserves minutes.

Cams problem is overconfidence but also self doubt when the seas get rough. Which is also why he'll never be great until he humbles himself. His quote said it all. He knows what he can do he just had to make sure he still got it.

I give the kid credit, u need that confidence to jack up shots like he was doing in the first half. He just needs to find a balance n be centered.

Nah punk ,
You can’t be out here chatting around like school girl
Then people to shut up when they talking about actual stuff .

You got a defense for why Mitch had 10 games last year where he had as many fouls as points?
And btw I said ineffective ,
Not inefficient , talking about he went 2 for 3 and then calling me names .
Lol you something else.

Guess the school of hard Knocks let some of you fall through the cracks.

If RJ thinks he's anywhere on Ja Morants level he needs better people in his life telling him the truth. RJ is trending more towards a homeless mans Evan Turner and his ceiling is now probably a slightly worse Michael Redd.

He wasn't ineffective. He played defense something Isiah doesn't do. He was 2 for 3 not 2 for 13.

He started the game active they just didn't set up any lobs or pick n rolls in the 13 minutes he played. Bball isn't only about offense

Perimeter defense was absolutely atrocious. Fournier is a huge reason for this. Not sure why he always plays off his man. That last 3 by Memphis in OT was cuz Fournier was deep in the paint when his man was chillin behind the 3 line.

the problem with rj is that he's not skilled. so if he's not finishing around the rim after using his strength to get there, and he's not hitting open shots, he's not worth 1/3 what he got paid. having brunson as a floor general is invaluable, but we still need a guard/wing scorer with a bag to pull from. fingers crossed for the cam come up

This is why Grimes is indispensable to this team. We need a guy that we can put on a team's best wing scorer and at least slow him down, thus allowing the rest of our lackluster defenders to not get as easily exposed - and our big men not routinely fouled out.

He tried. He had 31 pts and 9 asts. Not too bad for your first game on a new team. Were you thinking he was going to lead the Cavs to an 82-0 record? Toronto has a good squad.

Isn't this true for nearly anyone? He had a game where he couldn't get even get a pebble to fall into the ocean. Nothing was falling, bunnies, layups, contested shots, open shots, tip ins. It's a 82 game season it happens to every player.

Let's not over analyze it.

Weirdest thing is Fournier was carrying us for a stretch. He was rewarded After that. Cam still ended the game.

I mean he had 14 points.... He was 4 for 11 and 3 for 6 from 3pt. Obi couldn't do that? Deuce couldn't do that?

You just pray Grimes is good to go next game and Cam stays confident and focused. Cam had no expectation going into this game, hope he still performs now with his name running thru every media stream.

We know what we got with Thibs. He is not a situational coach and has zero ability to adjust to the flow during a game. But one thing we could always count on with Thibs was his defensive coaching but last night like you said was a complete head scratcher. You got Hartenstein and Fournier playing OT?? WTH was he thinking? Why not DRose? Where is Mitch?
Fire Thibs!
