if this is just to give kat all the shine for carrying that team to the wcf last year pls don't let me get in the way.


Ant man is special but he’s not generational like luka Jokic Giannis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They’re trying to force him into that tier but he’s not on that level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s more in the Brunson spida Booker tier of players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KAT's dribble drive is just a thing of beauty. He's very quick for his size

I don't want to speak for him. I think he said some things in his personal life are going on. I know he also didn't like the KAT trade but I still can't imagine that is the reason you leave. Its not like we traded Brunson for Lamelo Ball or anything that would send me packing... :lol:

The FO made several astute moves, from Hart to OG. The Mikal trade is still unclear but it could be vindicated down the line with team success.

But the KAT trade is the one that elevated us into serious contender status. He's not Jokic or Giannis, but he's in their class in terms of scoring efficiency, and this gives the Knicks a nuclear weapon. And they have the key to unlock it with Brunson, who can provide what KAT lacks (creation). The Knicks are a nuclear power with those two.

He beat Jokic last year and smoked him again this year, go sit in the corner :lol:

When we win the chip this year I say he’s officially leapfrogged him

The audacity of you when you wrote a thesis on Cam Reddish being as talented as rookie Kobe :lol:

Offensively, he can shoot: catch and shoot, shoot off dribble (step back or step side), shoot turnaround fadeaways off the post. He's pretty much ambidextrous can go left as well as he can go right, can finish with either hand in the paint. He has nasty hesi and head fake and euro step moves. He knocks down free throws. He can pass at a high level, to backdoor cutters or kick out off penetration or alley oops off dribble. Since becoming an NBA fan in 1996, I can say Cam has one of the most diverse arrays of offensive moves I've seen from a player. Mark Jackson once commentated on a game saying Cam can do what others in blue and orange can't, or Mark Jones saying hes "so effortless".

Defensively, he's far and away the best on ball defender in the entire NBA. Watching Wiggins in Finals, I thought Cam can easily be even a better lockdown defensive specialist than Wiggins.
t's clear all you critical of Cam evaluate players based on what they've already accomplished. Well if this was 1997, you'd have a hard time choosing a teenage Kobe (averaged only 15mpg, 7.6ppg, shot 4 airballs in a playoffs elimination game) over a then more accomplished Eddie Jones (established starter, on verge of becoming All Star). But the real astute talent evaluator Jerry West chose Kobe over Eddie, traded EJ to clear up playing time and starting spot for Kobe). I started collecting Kobe cards as he was getting DNP-CDs or 3-5 mins garbage time while my friends were collecting their MJs, Hills, Pippens, Shaqs... and they would never understand why I'd collect a trash player whose only forte seemed to be a dunking showboat.

Btw, I hadn't collected any dang NBA card since Kobe RCs in 1997 and I started doing again for Cam RCs (getting them while cheap becoz he's still "trash"... easiest investment choice ever)

Can you evaluate talent not based on their accomplishments but based on what they've shown in the garbage minutes they're receiving?? That's hard.

I'll just let Cam's play in the season do the talking from here on out

Knicks defensive rating is now 112 and they are ranked 13th

Any of you heard the Wizards announcers said the KAT trade wasn’t necessary and all pieces should have stayed pat ? Personally, I think since KAT is so efficient we come out ahead.
I will only cherish the wins and ignore everything else, because that's the only way to survive as a Knicks fan.

I swear right after Josh signed that contract knives were out and I felt like the only one defending him. Had to fight off lots of people calling him overpaid and now everybody loves him. Glad everyone learned ball finally :lol:

To their credit if you had to watch and announce every play of every game of that 5-25 dumpster fire rotting in the cellar tanking yet again you’d probably get loopy and say some insane things on air too. Remember, that is the team that some posters like nedleeds (who never shows up because we haven’t lost much in the last month and a half so there’s nothing to troll about) would prefer to be watching

I have been talking about a healthy bench from day one. When you lunatics were crying about every single player on the team, I was crying about the HC and needing a healthy bench. We are 9-1 since we got Payne/Deuce/Precious back playing at the same time. We just got Shamet back. Mitch is on the way back. There's a possible trade coming and/or we can add another vet mini after Feb.

Thibs needs to start working them into the rotation over the next 49 games. He has just started ten games ago. I get all emotional about the HC being stubborn and yada yada. Some of it is warranted but, one thing is for sure, he does tinker with things after he sets his priorities in stone. We just have to hope the team stays healthy and he gets the bench right before the playoffs. We have a lot of quality depth when everyone gets back. He needs to use it.

Not only have the Knicks won 8 games in a row, they have an 8 game road winning streak, the second longest streak in franchise history.
