My franchise player Folkssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still holding out reservations. Still believe they'll get it together. But my god, Thibs better trust his bench more.

[Guano]

it's November, and I'm ready to crash out. let me log off.

it was a lot easier when we sucked. expectations have me tilted over a loss to a mid bulls team in November.

[RHODEY]

This was the most significant game of the season...and I mean that in a good way. Hear me out....

Yes we looked like complete dog shot for most of the game. But that comeback .....


It was the first time this season I saw those grimey gritty Knicks. It was like seeing a long gone friend you never expected to see again. But there he was just when we needed it the most...ready to do battle, ready to play lockdown dee, fatigue be damned, clutch shots left and right....

And the fact that the guy who I thought might be a little soft was the toughest Mfer in the building....

Now you combine that with the fact that he is one of the most talented bigs in the league....

Man of man ..do y'all realize what we have unleashed?!

But back to the team....I expect us to be on a tear from this point on.

Look out NBA.

So we basically dogged it for three quarters and tried to win it in one. Why can't we play a bench then? You're telling me playing 10 minutes of the rooks puts us down more than 22? Thibs is an absolute maniac.

Towns 39 mins

OG 36 mins

Mikal 43 mins

Brunson and Hart at a merciful 34 mins each

On the tail end of a back to back where everyone in the starting 5 played 34 mins and up.

I dunno. I don't know what happens in practice so I can't explain why Thibs won't open up the rotation

that's where i land too

3pac must be trash in practice though it's hard to fully buy into that cause he has looked decent in the mins we've seen him on the court.

Right. I can't call it.

All I know is that this isn't sustainable and by the end of the game guys were gassed and committing mental errors. Just like the Pacers game.

[DaGawd]

Watching Sacramento right now, such a free flowing offense. Mike Brown is a conservative defensive coach like Thibs, must be an assistant running their offense. Why can't Knicks have that.

I googled Kings to see who runs their offense, found this article instead. They've made a big commitment to offensive rebounds. Feels like Knicks were great at O boards last year but have fallen off?

our defense is what needs major work.. the offense is fine even if not pretty at times.

[Synciere]

I’ve seen people on this board blame anybody and everybody except for the front office for making this trade.

Thibs hasn’t changed; he’s doing what he’s always done, previously to great success.

Many are even about to catch a hernia twisting and contorting trying to blame Jalen who’s doing his own high wire act trying to become the facilitator KAT needs.

Some want to blame Mikal who was always meant to be in a complementary role.

You can have 46 and still be the fulcrum of the issues at hand. Especially defensively. History shows it. Hopefully the team always meant for he and Mitch to play together to mitigate the damage but we’re a play-in team as it currently stands, and too many are okay with that as long as they can feel right about Kat’s production, even at the expense of wins.

Except he was a +4 so when he was out there we won

Plus minus is a terrible stat to use. There are none other guys on the floor determining that number. Plus, even in a vacuum, a +4 against the Bulls when you have 46 means your defense must’ve been terrible! The Bulls aren’t good!!!!

i wish i shared your optimism.. this team is too ground hog dayish for me right now

The Kings have also had the same team for the last 3 years so yes they have more continuity. But either way scoring isn’t even our issue.

If nothing else, you're putting in players with a full tank of gas who can put pressure on the defense. I don't believe any of those guys are that bad that they're unplayable when your main guys aren't putting out any effort. We're playing _worse_ teams that are also banged up and they're still going 10 deep.

we saw the bench give us good mins tonight, too. but like you said we will end up with players missing major time if he doesn't start playing his bench.

I know what you mean but this and the Hawks game were two bad losses. Hopefully it doesn't matter in the end. We rip it up and we forget about these two games now.

[MrDollarBills]

Accountable KAT, he got my respect.

I think he really wants to win and prove something. He's playing hard as hell.

[Synciere]

Still holding out reservations. Still believe they'll get it together. But my god, Thibs better trust his bench more.

It’s not about trusting just anybody and playing them like that’s what’s going to lead to wins. Pac playing ten minutes this game doesn’t ensure victory today or in the future.

The issue is we lost iHart to free agency, Mitch and Precious to injury, Julius and Donte to trade, and we only got back Towns. We lost four veteran rotation players, and we didn’t/don’t have the money to replace them.

I get that about defense, I'm hoping Precious and Mitch will change it plus new guys learning the system.
.
But I think a "pretty" offense would score more easily, less ISOs, not fall behind as much and struggle to score.

The way I just wrote a paragraph about how a poster thinks we would be better with Randle at center and deleted it.... yeah you're right lol.

[sol537]

Thibs ain’t it, folks.

MArk my words...What we'd gained tonight form this one loss , will make it worth it.
