Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You see...Thibs YOU HAVE TO EVOLVE.
I dont care who you are or how brillant or successful you are- you can always improve. You can always get better.
And you must change in order to do that. You must also have an openmind as well.

Thibs, you don't have to completely change but you have to change how you handle 6 through 15.

Thibs trusts no one. Who will play PG? Deuce is out too right? 48 minutes incoming for Cam if JB sits. This is madness.

Brunson will play until we lose him to a more severe injury.


Well, GreenArrow has informed us that Brunson sucks and is a ballhog, so hopefully he sits. Maybe for the next 10 games, so the Knicks can get all the wins.

Jalen Brunson is not perfect. No one is...Again, 35 games in playing with Mikal, Kat, and OG...You really think thats enough games
for him to have the same chemistry that teams like the Cavs-Boston and OKC has -you know how long the main guys been playing with each other on those teams Greenie? Take Shai for example- this is his 6th year with OKC and he's been playing with Jalen Williams for 3 years!!!!

Our core has been playing together for 35 games. Be reasonable...

People fall down every day b


Right. And when OG is out for a significant amount of time because he's being run into the dirt, what then? Oops?

Sorry. I'm just really frustrated right now with how Thibs is managing this roster. People think this sh*t is cute now, but wait until one of the big pieces go down.

From that article:

“Just seeing how it feels. It’s tough with hamstrings,” McBride said. “Those type of injuries, you don’t want to rush it. But I’m progressing.”


“Right now it’s just been taking it slow, just doing a little bit more of manual work and just really trying to give it a little bit more time,” he said.

McBride sustained the injury while warming up for Wednesday’s contest against the Jazz.

He was slated to start that match up because Jalen Brunson was scratched in the morning because of calf soreness.

“I just going and I just felt [my hamstring] grab,” McBride said. “And I went to the back, tried to figure out what happened. It just hurt.

“It’s super, super frustrating,” he added. “Nobody ever wants to be hurt and especially on a night you get a chance to start. Super frustrating. But it’s a part of it. Just got to bounce back.”


There was a scary moment in the third quarter, when OG Anunoby dunked to create an 11-point lead but lost grip on the rim and took a hard spill on his arm.

After getting up, Anunoby darted to the bench with his right arm limp.

“My arm was ringing, like my funny bone,” he told The Post.

It looked worse than the encouraging reality.

Anunoby returned after a timeout to shoot the free throws and finished with 20 points in 43 minutes.


“Time passed and I felt better,” he said.

Anunoby missed 32 games last season after undergoing surgery on his right elbow.

He said he fell Friday night on his hip and arm, not the elbow.

Brunson played phenomenally in that 1st half the ball was moving and he was playing within the offense and giving his all defensively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 2nd half came and he went hero ball mode for no **** reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He completely iced out Bridges and Towns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The offense stagnated in the 4th because he didn’t have it and he kept chucking away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That has nothing to do with chemistry etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whether his Fanboys like it or not He Needs to be better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greenie...shouting out "fanboy" doesnt help our culture bro...I dont take it personally but some do- just saying...
During the 4th I saw Brunson look at Thibs several times -taking instruction from Thibs. You are making assumptions. We dont know who directed the play we saw in the 4th.

And for the record bro- I have no interest in any of these fansboy beefs that go on -on either side...I'm a Knick fan and
fan of this board. I also know that we will win a chip with this group and it would be nice if we all stuck together while
we go on this journey. I see a ton of you guys go at eachother and half the time -the information is not accurate or
posters are too emotionally tied to see the arguments are not worth the time.

As far as you're comment on chemistry. All of the players are doing the best they can while they get to know each other on the court. When the chemistry is not 100% it affects EVERY aspect of the game. So chemistry is like the blood of the team and the team is like the body.
I say everything in this post with love and respect bro- always love to see your work :D Give Brunson some time with this group bro...

This is telling. I keep saying I don't want to be the minutes police. I'm fine with Josh pulling 40. I'm fine with Mikal doing 40. But you can't have 5 of your freakin' starters playing 40 MPG. On a back to back. In freakin' January. This is much even for Thibs.

That means that Cam Payne can’t crap the bed like he did last night. If he does, then Thibs has to give Kolek some burn.

Tonight’s the night to be more minutes conscious, not last night. Hopefully deuce is back but Precious and Payne need to be better. They were awful and didn’t look like they belonged on the floor. If deuce can’t play, Kolek better minutes.

You say that like we haven't been down this road before. I fully expect 3 or 4 dudes hitting 40 minutes if this game ain't a blowout.

Tiny Randle is playing at PG for the Knicks tonight. Too bad, since he's responsible for the Knicks losing any of the games they lost.

Why would we want LaMelo? Kid plays no defense and puts up gaudy numbers on a bad Charlotte team
