The Knicks have taken 20 shots in the 1st quarter. Brunson has taken 11 of those shots..not counting the shots he was fouled on for the 7 FT's. Only one ball.

I don't like this type of offense because it won't work against elite teams, and once the defense adjusts/doubles to get the ball out of Brunson's hands the rest of the team will be lost/out of rhythm.


Tom needs an offensive coordinator badly. I've seen enough to know that a more modern outlook would be a huge help for this team, and no I don't mean spamming threes. There's so much talent here that I feel like the offense could be so much more versatile


Mike brown bro


That’s an interesting suggestion

Mike probably wants a head coaching job, but he'd be a great addition

This is what I don’t get, Thibs plays each game for the win. No forthought re getting the team ready for the playoffs.
Does it with minutes and does it with 1st qtr iso ball.

Brunson having a career night and the board, rightfully so, is not exactly into it.
Winning is nice, but this game is not really fun to watch.


What? :lol:

Yea team needs to keep gelling/building chemistry.


Need to get back to the ball-movement we had going that had us putting up historic offensive #'s.


Guys "playing for each other", as Tom would say. :lol:

Why is the NBA All-Star voting every day? Who really has the time to vote daily? Do they expect me to code a bot to vote daily or something?
