GT: Knicks @ Heat - Wed October 30, 7:30pm on MSG

[FrozenEnvelope]

We haven't lost back to back games with OG so I feel good about this one.

The return of Jalen Brunson tonight.

Walen made his appearance last game and that one time is enough.

Im glad we finally have someone who can pull Bam away from the paint.

JB is gonna be alright. He's still in the "I gotta carry the offensive load" mode from last years playoffs. The second he figures out he's got two other 20 pt scorers on this team, it's gonna be over for the league. His BBIQ is off the charts so I expect this to be sooner than later.

Love the thread title.

Let's get this W

not everyone did

I was just about to make this thread. I thought no one wanted to touch it. Nice work!

thanks man.

Enjoy the game

I hope we come out pissed like Indiana. Can’t afford to play relaxed. Teams don’t brick open 3s. Giving up offensive rebounds not going to cut it. Let’s get it together. We need this one.

much appreciated.

Many "forget" that Bam "bitched" our bigs in the playoffs(including Randle) as he pitched a tent in the paint on defense, complete with campfire and marshmallows....swatting shots, closing off driving lanes, and contesting everything near the rim...

The Heat are going to look to end OG's season, so the Knicks better be on guard.

[Lord Commander]

We gon sex dees foos!!

[dakomish23]

Could easily lose this game. They better come out focused and stay focused

This is insane. Thibs man stop making him camp out in the paint!!!!!!!! You are allowed to use a C in more than one way on offense

Nodoy: ...

Iron Mantis: I need to evict Randle from my mind. But also, f Randle.

KAT typically has good games against Bam. If he's on KAT, pulling him out the paint is going to negate Bam's impact by some.

The ball needs to move more. It was sticking too much versus Cleveland.

Stop with the baiting.

I'm not interested in getting into a corny flame war about "evicting Randle" or whatever dumb ish you're talking...

Anyway, yes drawing Bam and other centers out of the paint on defense is one of the reasons they traded for KAT.

However, they have to get him more 3pt shots so teams actually fear that element as a threat. As of Right now....teams can actually capitalize on the fact that no one is looking for him when he's open from 3.

Always a first time

[sol537]

I think we'll come out laser focused like the Indy game and we'll get the W. This team has dawgs and don't like to be embarrassed like they were by Cleveland. Statement game incoming.

[Gravy]

I forgot about the KAT Butler history this should be interesting.

[rajajackal]

i assume spo won't have a hard time gameplanning for our sloppy new offense so we really gotta make this a possessions game and protect the rock. that's what took us so far last year. if we can get that part of our identity back, we're contenders

[stuporman]

Games played before new years day in Thibs era to put things into context

2-3
17-19
19-18
17-15

The Knicks final season record in those years

41-31 playoffs and home court advantage
37-45
47-35 playoffs
50-32 playoffs and home court advantage

So under Thibs the Knicks get better as the season goes along, something to keep in mind

Beat the cheat!
