Like I said, Randle is now the weakest link on defense. He doesn't even try. He has to go.

Dump Randle to whoever would take him.

Pretty impressive to see a player his size get over screens like that.

This is why I totally understand prioritizing Grimes as an asset. A lot of what he does as a connector is pretty high level on both ends of the floor. Of course his shot needs to come around to tie it all together, but the foundation of skill is really good.

There is a lot of angst around him because he was one of the sticking points in the Mitchell deal, but I think the long term bet on him as a player is a good one. Especially in the context of being committed to Brunson.

Yes. You need a player to guard the best guard.

Right now, a wing/forward defender is our biggest deficiency. Imagine swapping Randle or RJ for somebody like Aaron Gordon. It's why Grant was such a big get for the Blazers.

We'll probably beat the Hawks tomorrow night. Trae Young is feuding with his head coach, Nate McMillan. So long as Thibs keeps the team around .500, I don't see hime going anywhere.

Tom Thibodeau shortened his rotation in the Knicks’ 92-81 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Derrick Rose and Cam Reddish didn’t play in New York’s much-needed win at the Garden.

Thibodeau instead went with Miles McBride and shortened his rotation to nine players.

And he made it seem as if he’ll be sticking with a nine-player rotation for the near future.

“For right now, that’s what we’re doing,” Thibodeau said after the Knicks beat Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs.

The Knicks also didn’t give up the lead they built early in the game, as they had in a few past home games.

“Part of that is probably less people in the rotation, too,” Thibodeau said. “That gives you a better rhythm. So that’s part of the reason why we went to nine.”

Thibodeau shortened his rotation to nine players at the start of a recent West Coast trip. He removed Evan Fournier and Grimes from the rotation at that point. That was short-lived. He went back to a 10-man rotation during the road trip. The Knicks went 3-2 on that trip, which came after an embarrassing home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Thibodeau explained on Sunday that he was still figuring out who to play in his nine-man rotation during that trip.

“The tough thing is you’ve got to make a decision. Who are the nine? And there’s guys who are deserving to be in there,” Thibodeau said. “You’re trying to stretch it a little bit until there’s more clarity to it and once there is and you have more information, now you’ve got to make the decision. So that’s what we did.

“We’re always going to do what we think is best for the team. So I want to prioritize that. And that doesn’t mean it’s permanent. It just means that’s where we are right now. Whatever gives us the best chance to win, that’s what we’re going to do.”

It will be interesting to see if Thibodeau sticks with McBride as part of his nine-man rotation or if he goes back to Rose.

The Knicks played the second game of a back-to-back on Sunday, which Thibodeau said contributed to his decision to give Rose a DNP.

He called the move to keep Reddish out of the rotation a “coach’s decision.” He was asked if Reddish’s performance in New York’s loss to Dallas on Saturday factored in to the decision. Reddish played just seven minutes in the game.

sound like tom is sticking to 9 again and cam is out

Thibs complied with the letter of the law behind the FO mandate he showcase Reddish.

Now that he complied, it's over.

Reddish for a 2nd round pick incoming.
At least Aller turned Knox and a 1st into 2 2nds, aka "The Aller Special"

If only he could be like RJ, making statue follow through poses after 3 point misses while the other team fast breaks it's way to an easy bucket.

*There was at least one of these yesterday. Dude refuses to follow his show, and it slows down getting back on defense. Pick one RJ, you aren't a 45%+ 3 point shooter. Even then it would be inexcusable, fundamentally.

Only way we win is if RJ or Randle go off. Mitch gona make capella his bitch

i think everyone is on the hot seat with dolan and they're assuming if someone has to be blamed it's thibs. but i guess leon aint gonna do it unless he's kind of forced to.

Bad news: Stuck with Thibs longer
Good news: When he's fired, it's a package deal and the entire FO (probably minus Scott Perry) and coaching staff is fired too.

Even Knick good news isn't good news

Thibs will def be the first to go. Begley just does a lot of guessing to cover all his basis though.

And when RJ starts chucking up 30 shots a game and making 10 of them...but I guess he can at least fall back on his def...oh wait.

There is no good news so they are probably not a package deal. I think Thibs goes when the Knicks get eliminated or if they have a real bad stretch, then they promote Johnny Bryant. That will bye Leon 1 or 2 more years of Rose as per usual. Hoping Dolan will make Leon coach the team instead
