We can't get 5 games with everyone healthy.

Good thing we get to immediately see what Thibs will do.

Well, according to Prophet of rage, Brunson is a selfish dick, so he deserves this and the Knicks no doubt will be better off without him.

Glad I quit watching this BS team a few days ago, got on the bandwagon early. Now there's zero reason to watch.

I suppose seeing how many in a row they can lose might be fun.

Thibs is a bad coach who plays his starters heavy minutes so that he doesn’t have to make adjustments.

The team last year, with Donte and a healthy Randle and Mitchell Robinson, was better.



1. Brunson is clearly a top player and closer

2. Thibs is not a bad coach but there’s truth to your point

3. No


Brunson is not a #1 option on a championship caliber team.

The Knicks are a superteam of role players. Who in the Knicks starting lineup was ever a first option on their previous team? I’m not even sure they could beat Detroit in a seven game series, they play ten guys.



Your first post doesn’t say the same thing as your second post. Brunson is generally regarded as a top 5 guard in the league and a great closer.

But, yes, we are a flawed team

This is my biggest issue with Captain JB. He often takes the full 8 seconds and I don't get why.
He wants the ball. He's very selfish.
