Maybe just something simple and small like a Javonte Green.

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.
As i said the previous game thread, is what many criticized him for imo was done intentionally for 2 reasons, first which was an organization decision to play starters heavy minutes early on to speed up the gelling process and second deuce and precious were not 100%. So put this all together means in january this team is beginning to click on all cylinders

So, even when they were leading games in those series (classic example of this is the Jordan Bulls) there was always the subconscious, ominous dread lurking that the talent discrepancies would eventually catch up.
While the dread still resides at a molecular level in my cells simply because I'm a fan of this franchise, it's no longer because the other team is simply better. In 2025 the New York Knicks are trotting out established NBA talent that can match or exceed any team in the league in any given night.
We're often watching our favorite team win simply because they're better at basketball than their opponent. They're not prevailing by getting on a heater, coaching, or outworking/outhustling, though all of those things can happen. They're just more talented and better at basketball.
Maybe the first time I've said this earnestly, but man - what a time to be alive.

He's done it a few times. The problem was he would only play one other guy like 6-9 minutes thus the 7.5 man rotation. The last few games he woke up. The entire league and media and fan base were all talking about it. They were all correct. I think the FO said something to him as well.
Maintain this rhythm and I have no complaints. The bench does NOT suck. They just nedded to play more!
I gotta say bro, shamet def sucks
If we can include him to get back a 2nd rounder I wouldn’t mind
Conclusions
Good analysts know to put age-old wisdom to the test. Announcers often talk about teams controlling the pace as if it was a way to assert your will. However, this hypothesis is not supported by the data.
That is, the data showed that in the NBA, dictating the pace had no impact on winning.

He is trying to keep us grounded cause it's a long season of highs and lows and he knows the real prize is in the postseason.
