he's got to be more aggressive no doubt...maybe the injury to brunson (only silver lining I can think of) will open things up to him.

But in all seriousness do you want him to rip the ball away from his teammates...he is banished to sitting in the corner like he's in the shadow realm.

Kolek time. Watch this kid play some good ball while Brunson heals up and Thibs has had him benched all season.

Nope, that was a sprain, an Achillies tear happens when your leg is in B and C position.

A creative coach would try to play him with the bench more, especially with Mitch and Precious able to play besides KAT.

zero chance Kolek plays...Delon Wright probably gets a little burn.

Could've had a game winner at end of regulation if Hart would shoot instead of drive

I meant regulation

Brunson was the best player on the court tonight and he shared it with Luka and Bron

He deserved that win. Fire thibs and trade everyone besides OG :love:

Don't worry Thibs is going to look like an even a larger buffoon when Kolek starts to get regular playing time.

Seemed like he had the ball passed to him several times and would just immediately pass it back off like he didn’t want it

You're giving the Bucks too much credit. Knicks can play .500 ball without JB.

One win off from 500 in a 20 game sample ill take it

Bucks are 8-2 in their last 10, we were 6-4 with Brunson. This team without him is cooked.

We were supposed to be good but this team still has Brunson holding the ball for 18 seconds before he gets trapped and loses it or make a tough bucket.

OG has weak body, Mikal and KAT are weak mentally, Hart is asked to be the second best player in the team way too often and Thibs is not evolving as a coach.

We were up by 6, they got a nice layup between Luka and Hayes when they rocked the rim. We are literally 4 on 2 on the other end, instead of doing fast break we call quick time out. Why? We just told them - "damn, that was a nice play, we are so bad and weak and pathetic fragile team, let me call a timeout and escape from reality for 30 seconds". Guess what, we didn't draw anything...

That's the game right there.

and we run Mikal off any down screens at all this year??? run him across the baseline...hit him in motion with KAT or Hart screening for him...and then have him attack going down hill...He either gets to his mid range...gets to the basket....or he find and open shooter.

there is zero creativity with our offense. Its basically the Brunson read and react offense.

To me the plan looked like to get towns the ball. DFS was all over him, McBride couldn’t get anybody the ball and just went solo. He does some good stuff but not a very good PG

He better be traded in the offseason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not going to lie, seemed like he was purposeful not shooting. This team needs a mutiny.

Games like this show that this is a stars league. We need to trade Mikal and KAT for Giannis.

This coach sits firmly in his seat and I kinda like the attitude he brings, but this high-octane offense seems impotent way too often. They freeze out Towns and Bridges - why? Couple that with the mind-blowing inability to defend threes and I think I’m out on him…

BBALLER4FR · Post #120 » by **BBALLER4FR** » Fri Mar 7, 2025 6:26 am

The Celtics beat the 76ers by 18pts tonight without J. Brown, J. Holiday, A. Horford and K. Porzingis. That would have been a dog fight for this Knicks squad at full strength.

We can't dominate the bad teams and we make ourselves look terrible against the good teams at full strength. Now we have a west coast barrage with Brunson likely missing significant minutes and the only person in the starting lineup look passable is OG Ananoby. We just filled up our roster with more people Tom will force to the G-League. We are in for some tumultuous times folks. Get rid of Tom so we can expand and unlock this roster!
