PG: Knicks vs Celtics: Season opener!

[offense]

A whole training camp and some are still preaching chemistry. Nope. Not I.

This was karma. KAT is the new Eddy Curry.

Kat did well. training camp isnt the same as a real game, especially vs the champions.

What's up with Deuce, he can't miss. We all thought he'd be a defensive specialist who can make a shot as like a novelty act.

"We all thought..."

Some of us have believed in Deuce for awhile now. The man can play and showed up in the real games in the playoffs last year. Yet people want to trade him away for nothing.

Deuce is worth 3 1st rd picks now

there are some teams that take time to gel. but that's also an excuse sometimes when things aren't right. when we traded rj & quick (who were a big part of our team) for og we didn't need time to gel.

peep the kat getting killed on defense tweets in the last page. they gonna say its not his fault tho

It’s Randles fault.

someone gonna deflect to randle in this thread

0-1, just one game and we will move on.

1) We need a better version of OG and Bridges. We mortgage the future (CAP and picks) on them to be the wing stopper.
2) Hopefully Mcbride's continuous improvement helps to ease the painful loss of DDV, and an outside chance for the 6POY.
3) Rebounding. We shoot 56 and 38 and still lost in a big margin. Opponents' 11 offensive rebound was the issue despite their early 2k-ish shooting.
4) Brunson PNR with KAT. Need time to figure out how to work and create the mismatches, this should be our new weapon and we have a season to gel.
5) Rookies. Surprisingly despite the starting 5 we will need our rookies to play certain roles this season, whether Thibs like it or not. They could be the X factor and push us over the top (by playing well or by their trading value with good play)

It’s probably easier to incorporate a catch and shoot guy with an established pecking order with an Identity than it is to what they’re doing now. It’s a bad comparison but those heatle teams were basically .500 after 17 games their first year. So we’re basically identityless team with a lot of new parts.

My concerns have reared thwirnhead immediately. Jalen Brunaon ia all our offwnce and nobody else can really create. This allows somwonw to put a big defender on Brunson and rotate to thw orhwrs making 5 out apacing useless.

The team also has no real fire.

This team has the talent though and with the oh trade we still had the depth to compensate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give it time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s only game 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Besart19]

how are you gonna switch with kat's slow feet..... c'mon.

by putting Achiuwa on the starting lineup... or playing a zone with Robinson starting

[stuporman]

I think more time should be spent on discussion about the difference between jell and gel than on the game, this is something we need to sort out before we can proceed with the season.

[Zenzibar]

Yo, thank you, I almost forgot how toxic this place can be.

[Synciere]

gobert just got an extension. shouldve gotten 200m's for how he covered kat.

How much?

[JXL]

At least Mikal played a better game in the 2nd half...

This will take some time. I'm not worried.

Last year's team had an established identity and he was plug and play. We need a new fade and it might not take. It might be another coach with this look as well. This is more of a Kerr team than a Thibs team.

grand opening grand closing

Training camp is not REAL LIFE

We had a few bad camps. Thibs teams has been turning the corner starting in December

appreciate the intel...I havent followed any of those teams but I know basketball and this is nothing new...
That Miami with Bron-wade and Bosh took more than 20 games before they built chemistry...I'm really surprised that some of the vets here are even debating this...

Only 5 players from last year are on this team...Thats a big swing...

[The KnicksFix]

This is a brand new team, it takes time. But Mikal’s shot finally came back in that third quarter, he started loading the shot from the hip like a normal person rather than above his head

Thank you. You beat me to it.

Better yet, why not just ban him?
