Thibs the great coach he is, trusting the bench the first 5 min of the 4th playing even while denver still and Joker and Murray on the floor, one them this game..but i know commending Thibs isn’t allowed on here

We're all happy that he finally made the adjustments that we've been screaming about for months. Why would we want him to fail, we would just love if he could make quicker adjustments and get out his own way at times.

Towns owns Jokic

[Knick4Real]

And who said the cap isn't a floor general? He's just a shorter one but no short of a PG when his teammates keep moving their feet(to be open).

This team is so good. Not like the lovable, gritty, feisty "good" teams of recent memory, but a legitimately talented, ELITE contender.

The mid 90s Knicks are in my heart, I love them more than any sports team of my lifetime, and probably always will.

But this team is better. And it's not particularly close. They are so, so good. A true contender. And god damn does it feel good in these moments where you can clearly see it.

I just don’t know who’s available that we can get to put us over the top.

Some referees?

I hate blaming refs but… nah let’s not do that.

Gotcha. I just think we’ll need Mitch eventually. Who are we going to get at the trade deadline?

Honestly no idea.

Im not against mitch. I think he has been instrumental in our past success. And I think he has immense talent. But im extremely worried about how his injuries will hinder him both on the court and staying on the court. Plus with how we play now I don't know if he is truly needed as much as keeping the guys we have on the court. which is why I want to trade him for a bench player to keep og and jHart fresh.

The importance of Mitch is that he can help precious cover the minutes of OG and KAT more, right now precious is covering for the entire 3 of Mikal, OG and kat

rather have a wing cover for our wings and precious is fine as a backup big for kat.

[HerSports85]

Don’t like the OG minutes, feel like we could have gotten more out of Precious, he’s a minutes eater

I'll live with it tonight. Thibs been good this stretch with mins.

[Gravy]

Westbrook is Cam Payne with athleticism! respectfully

Trade Mitch bring Cam Whitmore…..or trade Sims if that also works.

Whitmore is a player I LOVED coming out of college, but I don’t see him being a player Thibs trusts.

Cam W talented but bigger need is a defensive 5.

[Context]

Something did indeed click

Machine Mikal explained it in a post game locker room interview. He said they are still learning eachother--etc
and at that moment I knew their recent play was a result of their chemistry continuing progress.

[stuporman]

Felt damn good to have the best player on the court tonight

And only precious as a backup big?!?!

the downside is you can't play Mitch and Precious together....Thibs tries to even stay away from Hart/Precious together because of the lack of shooting. Having 2 non-shooters will muck up spacing.

So Precious minutes at the 4 would all have to be with KAT out there. It complicated things. But we could also play KAT some at the 4 alongside Mitch.

But Precious would have a much lesser role if/when Mitch comes back. I assume that is why we have some interest in Boucher...he perfectly compliments Precious off the bench.

Right now he does nothing but score.

OG looking real good lately.

But then wouldn’t we be 11 deep??

Karl Anthony “Jokic Annihilator” Towns

I think Kat wears him down...

He's just as strong. Jokic can't get to his spots low and it rattles him.

I think that's part of his issue with fouling. Like Shaq, he's just stronger than everyone. It's not as much of an issue with Jokic because it's two titans battling.

Nuggets not a top 6 team so not impressed
