We might not win w.o him

Your entire team is made up of RJ Barrets.

The 13th seed Magic beat the Celtics multiple times and it doesn't really matter. I'm not giving the Knicks props for beating a Jaylen Brown less Celtics in New York and I don't many other general fans are either.

Are you saying Barrett's good, bad or mediocre?

Would really like your answer cause if we go by record it looks like you're implying that just like Magic's record, Barrett absolutely sucks which seems strange to me cause you were defending him just a while ago if I'm not mistaken.

Im saying the Magic's record sucks but the players don't, they are quite talented. Y'all need some marination just like RJ.

Well, that's nice of you to say.

As I already said, I like this Knicks team and think they are very fun to watch, I'm just not a fan of Barrett's talent and style of play but he could obviously prove me wrong in the future.

RJ's got the talent, but his style doesn't mesh well with our other starters. His mental isn't consistent, often doesn't protect the ball, has tunnel vision ...but those are fixable things. On the positive side, he is unrelenting and doesn't let past poor play effect his confidence. When he puts everything together he can be an absolute stud:

I was a huge RJ Barrett believer, probably the greatest FIBA U19 tournament, but the kid been doing same crap for years with no improvement. He can score and not so good efficiency, but thats about it, seriously, did he noticeable improve anything in the last 3 years? A huge disappointment for me his career is.

He's been regressing. He borderline sucks now.

RJ has had an up and down year. Way down as of late. Knicks having the #3 pick in the 2019 draft was unfortunate. Could have drafted Garland but he was coming off the knee. Very little out of that draft beyond that…*shrug*…

The same Celtics who were 8-2 in their last 10 and were beating teams without Brown and had the #1 record in the NBA?

He's money on the corner 3 and is slightly more efficient down low now that he's able to finish better. But he has regressed in the other parts of his game, like defense and hitting the open man. His contract came with incentives so I think he was putting too much emphasis on putting up All Star numbers instead of contributing for the team and just be a role player.

RJ tries too hard to keep his 20ppg average but would be better off not caring about that, lower it to 15ppg on better efficiency, raise his apg and rpg to 5 and 5, because he's capable of it. I mean the lobs to Mitch should already be 2 per game if he just does it often. He gets tunnel vision most of the game instead of finding the open man. I would rather that RJ than a chucker.

The best thing about acquiring Josh Hart is that RJ sits during crunch time when he's not playing well. Thibs holds him accountable based on his play and this should make him a better player. Minutes are no longer guaranteed. I still have faith he can get better.

Seems like Thibs is favouring Hart and Quickley over RJ
Side note, i loved the Hart trade for the Knicks. He's a great glue guy and fits their roster really well.

Well, the Knicks beat the Celtics with Jaylen Brown in TD Garden while they were without Mitchell Robinson and before the Josh Hart trade a month ago. Nobody gives a **** what you casuals give props to.

Who wins?
